When Christians tie Christianity to a particular political figure and party, not only do they fuse the reputation of Christianity to everything that political movement does, they become more shaped by the ways of that political movement than they do by the ways of Jesus.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

Donald Trump lied about a stolen election with not a shred of proof, incited a mob to riot on the Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. We all saw it happen.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

In America, you have a right to due process. Without it, the government could arrest or deport you for any reason. That’s what is happening in America right now. That is what dictators do. And that is what we are fighting against.

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans.
Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it.
This is Iowa!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

America's home-grown violent criminals includes hundreds of people who attacked the US on Jan. 6, 2021.
With due process, they were found guilty of felonies in court by unanimous juries.
These criminals are now out of jail, not rendered to El Salvador without due process, because Trump let them out.

America is a terrorist state. Kidnapping people without due process is criminal. Republicans in Congress need to do the right thing for once and stand up to corruption
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
