I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems.

used to live in @slotkin.senate.gov's district, i don't remember her being such a spineless sell out. slotkin's social media manager, can you explain why anybody should believe she'll fight the hard battles when she won't hold the line with even a symbolic no vote?
Some Democrats keep voting for Trump’s nominees after the Trump Administration leaked its own war plans in a Signal group chat. Dems must treat Trump like the authoritarian threat he is and use every inch of power to fight back. This is about more than bad nominees: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

At least when Trump sues my newspaper into extinction and sends me to an El Salvador torture prison, I'll be able to say that I always wrote about him with respect and gave him the benefit of the doubt.

We can ban gender reassignment surgery. Why? Because Trump’s tariffs will make you a man. And when he backs down, that will make you a woman.

Economists say that Trump's tariffs are likely to hurt the American economy. But seven random people we talked to at the Olive Garden in Times Square have very different opinions.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Despite unfounded claims to the contrary, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The SAVE Act is designed to block eligible people from voting, not to protect elections.
