I am so proud and inspired to know that this is one of our senators. This is a man who has been doing the work since the day he first got into office and he will be doing the work till long after he leaves.
I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh
No evidence linking Tufts student to antisemitism or terrorism, State Dept. office found
An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

Chuck Schumer just delivered eight votes to Donald Trump, and the rest of the Democratic caucus should now deliver their 36 votes to a new leadership team.

@amyklobuchar.com ANSWER THE QUESTION.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar was just on with Joy Reid, who asked her why and other Democrat senators voting to confirm Trump's appointees. She side stepped the question by mentioning those she did not vote for , and we should talk more about how Republicans are supporting them.

Factcheck: GOP has majorities in both houses and only the GOP can "spark a government shutdown." There's no reason for Democrats to cast affirmative votes for anything, Republicans have got this. And...if they *don't* got this, welp, that's their problem to solve!
