We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

I don't know what you think the job of elected Democrats is, but it's not to throw elbows & challenging fellow members to fucking duels in the Capitol Rotunda. THIS IS THEIR JOB.
The physical fight is OUR FIGHT. And you better wrap your white head around that.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.
Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

In case you don’t know yet, four of our greatest congressional fighters are in El Salvador right now. I knew this was coming. I didn’t know it was coming without us knowing before it happened.
I don’t see a lot of people talking about this yet, so I hope this post changes that
