I want to take the hand of every Democratic senator and gently tell them:
"I know you're trying, but I swear to god, if we take back Congress and don't eliminate the filibuster and spend several more years telling people what we wish we could do, I'll spend every day hoping you step on LEGOs."

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The numbers are in after yesterday’s tax deadline.
Minnesota’s new Child Tax Credit delivered an average $2,400 back to working class families, benefiting nearly 400,000 kids.
Regardless of Washington chaos, we’re still making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

This is important! But I’m not giving SCOTUS any credit until it gives this teeth. bsky.app/profile/reic...
IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process.
They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.
