The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

The US Constitution gives Congress the sole power to impose tariffs. Trump is using the National Emergencies Act (and the IEEPA) to bypass Congress to levy tariffs. All Congress has to do is pass a bill denying this explicit emergency power to levy tariffs to Trump and all of this goes away.

Can someone please explain to me why billionaires need a tax cut?? This is ludicrous. They are trashing the country to “fund” tax cuts for a tiny class of people that DO NOT need them!on Enough is enough. If you tax billionaires, at the end of the day, they are still billionaires!! Enough!!

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

One phone call. That’s all it would take to get every innocent person out of that El Salvador jail. Every innocent person wrongly/illegally deported would be returned immediately with one phone call from Trump. Because he’s a coward, he won’t. But one phone call. That’s all.

We put a kid in prison for 15 years for posting classified information on Discord...LAST YEAR. This is way worse and in a normal, non-bizarro world, it SHOULD bring down the entire Administration.

Why are the Democrats not making more noise about this? Go visit him. Threaten to hold up all bills in the Senate. Go on the news shows and just talk about it, and only this subject. How Trump is coming for you the next time you protest his cuts to veterans or social security.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

You are up to date.
