7/ You may not think this case matters to you. But Abrego Garcia was legally in the U.S., just like all the rest of us. His status as an immigrant doesn't matter as a matter of law. If Trump can lock up or remove ANYONE - no matter what the courts say - we are all at grave risk.
Thank you. Exactly!
Y'know the Four Boxes of Freedom? "The Soapbox, the Ballot Box, the Jury (Justice) Box and the Cartridge Box?" TRUMP JUST BLOCKED THE FIRST THREE.

Arrest the President. Arrest Bondi.
Please stop terrifying me and tell me what we’re doing to stop him?

Especially anyone whom tfg or his admin decides is a threat. That would include dem leaders - past & present, journalists, attorneys, and anyone else who opposes them in any way.
100%
Trump has, so far, successfully gotten away with kidnapping people and sending them to a foreign prison with no due process and no legal recourse. Due process denied for anyone is due process denied for everyone. That's not hyperbole; that's the reason due process cannot have exceptions.
8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0. If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.
What are you personally doing about it?
IMPEACH TRUMP NOW @schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @blumenthal.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov IMPEACH TRUMP
Arrest the President. Arrest Bondi.
You heard him today- we all did- WE ARE NEXT. Any of us. Based on anything Bondi & Trump’s handlers dream up- no due process means we are at the whim of a madman and his team. Arrest him. I know that sounds like a lot, but why not? Seriously, why not? No. Really. Why not?
Which is why y'all in the Democratic party need to follow the example of AOC and Sanders and rally the troops, i.e., the people. They want to fuck with us and the rule of law, we'll flood them collectively until they're gone.

Courts have own funding source codes. House has own funding source code. Senate has own funding source code. Cut off funding source codes. If you want results cut funding. Trump blackmail.
Exactly. bsky.app/profile/cath...
🏳️ we surrender. Please stop this nonsense or we will never ever be the same.
So… what are y’all doing about it?
YOU ARE ALREADY NOT A DEMOCRACY ANYMORE. THAT SHIP SAILED ON JAN 20 when you inaugurated a felon and he signed a gaggle of illegal executive order and NOBODY pushed back. You’re already DONE.
Thank you for your voice, Senator. Please don’t relent.
I Want to Know…WHAT IS THE SUPREME COURT GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? THEIR MISTAKE! Trump has now basically said FU to the SP! Whatcha gonna do SP??
Okay. All True. But as long as R stand in lock step.....and they seem to be. Like apparently R's don't like democracy-the thing that got them elected. Who knew.
Who's "we?" YOU have power. Do fucking SOMETHING!
“Yeah right, make me.” That’s what the President is saying again and again. Somebody has to make him. Sorry, it really might not end well but that’s the situation we are in. Force. Is. Required.
Please call a CAUCUS meeting/vote about the current leader.
@senatorchris.bsky.social is correct, but this is not unexpected. This is what authoritarian wannabe's do and unless they are forcible pushed back, they will continue to migrate down the path to that government. Now we wait and see what the generals do with their oath to the Constitution.
What are you doing about it?
Still waiting for Democrats to actually bring this to the public's attention. Why are you not flying to El Salvador to visit the prison?
Done - thanks to @vanhollen.senate.gov
As far as I'm concerned, chump needs to be taken out of the oval office in cuffs!! He doesn't care about anyone but himself and his oligarchy. He sent people to El Salvador with no proof that they deserve to be there. It's insane. Let's send him there!
Okay, when are you going to impeach him then?
When are you going to get off your ass and do something that isn't performative?
You all need to look at our information ecosystem. It is severely broken. Get together experts in marketing, media studies, First Amendment law, and computer sciences, and figure out a way through. It is IMPERATIVE. Either do that or walk away from the American experiment altogether. Seriously.
Impeach him.
So how do we stop him? The man is a monster.
A constitutional crisis made 100% possible by the same SCOTUS that was just effectively told to pound sand.
And yet, you and your Senate Dem colleagues are still NOT objecting to unanimous consent requests from the Senate GOP as they continue to move Trump's nominees forward. WTF? Tuberville did it, why can't you?
So what is the democrats plan? What is congress gonna do about this dictator? Who is leading us?
I appreciate you telling us what's going on. What I would appreciate more is you telling us what Congress is going to do about it.
Will you be joining Senator Van Hollen if he heads to El Salvador?
What would be the next step for the Supreme Court? Contempt charges? What would that entail and what would be the consequences?
Can yall investigate what is it Trump has over on all of these white men? What have they done that Trump has audio and/or visual blackmail gold on these (every single one) ESPECIALLY Lindsey and MAGA Mike and now Roberts (?)😩🫣😳
My first guess is hinge went down in his hotels, (the ones he actually owned) but the dummies didn’t realize Trump was mentored and learned from Roy Cohn. “Always record everything”, that Roy Cohn.
/2: A weeklong strike. Nobody goes to work. No childcare, no schools. No banks. No retail. No restaurants. No street repair. No sewage treatment center maintenance. No car maintenance. Nothing. Turn it all off. Is that what we should do??
What are we, normal every day citizens, supposed to do about it? Do we all quit our jobs on the same day and just go hang out in the parks in the streets and hug each other? And help feed each other? Because I’d be down for that. —->/2
There’s a good chance this administration is going to escalate things on April 20th. You do not have long to fix this before you lose the power that could have made a real difference. If you can’t save us this month, you really need to consider distributing a survival guide that helps us prepare.
I wanna see a squad of Democrat Senators & Reps fly to El Salvador & DEMAND his release. If he isn't, you Dems come back & made NOISE. NOISE like Cory Booker made Holler! Yell! Throw the weight of the US House & Senate around! DO SOMETHING of ACTION! Get press! Foreign is fine. Shame us as a nation!
Eileen. We need to make calls and demand exactly what you say above.
Yes. Daily. Everything we can do, we must do. Even what feels insignificant matters now.
I'm done making calls. Nothing happens. We need action.
You, too.
Senator, we're already there unless Congress stops him. I think now, it is only Congress who can save democracy by impeaching him and his sycophants. I don't see any other way.
JFC NO ONE IS NORMALIZING THIS! What are we supposed to do except seethe and be enraged. Every single elected official needs to come together, get rid of the status quo centrists, and call for a general strike.
Blue governors can call up their national guard now so Trump can’t do it (can’t call them up twice), and they can enact a rent/mortgage moratorium. It will require organized mutual aid. SOLIDARITY! I don’t know why you people with the megaphones aren’t directing traffic!
Start impeachment proceedings immediately. Should have happened weeks ago.
We already don’t. Yet you, and EVERY member voted to confirm Rubio.
Chris - Get your colleagues to at least FUCKING TRY to impeach Trump!
Time to go to El Salvador and bring back Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Senator
Past that time.
Might be too late. :-/
Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) www.google.com/maps/place/C...
Senator Van Hollen is going, to at least check on him. Congressman Frost says he will go w/ him. They need to do it, even if they fail in getting him back right now. I worry that something like Jonestown (w/ the congressman's plane) will happen. www.fbi.gov/history/famo...
Bring them all back.
Where is Malcolm Nance when we need him?
Probably in an S&M dungeon, pissing on some woman, as per his usual.
Halt senate business until the man is brought back.
So what do WE as citizens do besides protest? What can YOU as elected officials do? There has to be something we can do
Why can't states use their resources to defend their citizens? Call up the guard? Enlist state and local police to frustrate and track/warn of raids? Have funded neighborhood watch programs with citizen patrols? Many blue states and contiguous. We could also band together!
My question exactly!!
Call your congresspeople and tell them you want them to vote yes in an impeachment hearing.
The entire Democratic caucus should accompany Senator Van Hollen down to El Salvador later this week.
He shouldn't go alone, it's too dangerous
I heard him with my own ears tell bukele that he wants to send “homegrowns” to El Salvador. That bukele will need to build 5 more “centers” at least, to house us. 😡😤🤬
Does Chucky Shoes finally believe we're at the point that, maybe, kinda, sorta, it could be time to do something? Might he want to maybe, kinda, sorta start making a public show of it beyond social media? Spitballing here but seems like things are maybe, kinda, sorta bad.
I will give you advice. Study case of polish Prawo i Sprawiedliwość. They did all those things recently, and even after loosing elections, they still have a lot of power thanks to nepotism in DOJ and everywhere else
* Trump does not care about the legal system. Trump’s religious right political Base does not care what Trump does. Trump’s administration and Trump’s “political Base” does not care what “YOU” democrats think. “You” democrats can go pound sand, Trump doesn’t Care. “You” need more than Talk.
No one who's not MAGA is normalizing this! We're all freaking the fuck out because if CONGRESS doesn't do something NOW, we all risk the same fate. This goes one of two ways, you guys grow a pair and remove the son-of-a-bitch NOW or we risk our lives fighting the regime when the come for us.
You are exactly right! We all must fight back
Agreed - so how are you helping to resolve the situation?
The SCOTUS is responsible for whatever bad happens to democracy in the USA.
I am not an American, hell I have never been to America but it pissed me off to see how the president and his jolly band of misfits pissed on a SCOTUS ruling from within the oval office and there is no outrage. He has successfully made everyone scared of him and are too afraid show dissent.
And today, he told the El Salvadoran dictator that he will soon be deporting American citizens to El Salvador.
Let’s GO! Impeachment? We want EVERYONE back from El Salvador.
how did the trail of tears start again? youtu.be/Ojo8-GhhQcA
Therefore, the House must impeach this President and the Senate vote to convict. The way not to normalize this is to enforce the law.
Thank you for answering the question I continually have with this President: “what do we do about it?”
How is it being answered???
I was using “we” as the collective we. A path is outlined above that the steps are impeachment in the house first. I interpret that to mean to call my reps and ask them to bring articles of impeachment
I’ve been calling for weeks. Emailing too
Sounds like you guys in Congress need to lock the Republicans in a room with the dems for a secret, come to Jesus talk and end this before there’s violence in the streets. We’re probably 2 weeks away at this point from a citizen being deported to our concentration camp in El Salvador.
I continue to be amazed that our so-called leaders are not treating this like the extreme crisis with the urgency needed. We need to be doing something for five weeks ago. The traitor gets stronger, gets more agencies under his complete control, along with private companies.
Every dem senator needs to stop all govt business- next recess get up and fight ! Mobilize your constituents
@schumer.senate.gov told @chrislhayes.bsky.social that "we're not there yet" until trurnp defies the SC. Well...?
The morally bankrupt people closest to him are likely to end up in cecot or gitmo sooner rather than later because nobody can bootlick enough for dictators with toddler level emotional maturity. One by one, they will displease the regime and be black hood renditioned.
1/ Trump will not willingly obey the law. There are only two possible outcomes:
2/ A. Courts, including the Supreme Court, decide they have no enforcement mechanism. This is effectively the end of the Rule of Law in the United States. B. Courts send armed law enforcement officials to arrest Trump regime officials. The regime will give counter-orders. There will be violence.
Do something. At least bring impeachment papers. Dems aren’t doing anything hardly at all. Yall should’ve planned for this psycho shit.
Congress do something. The Supreme z court do something. He’s making a mockery of our country.
Senator Murphy, it’s time that either you or senator mark warner take over the lidership of the senate and remove chick Schumer! Schumer no longer represents the views and anger of democrats
We have to impeach, removed and imprisoned trump for all the illegal actions and sufferings he’s committed against the American people.!
We democrats need someone like AOC as our minority leader right now. Rep Jeffries is not up to the job. His silence is deafening!
No. Fuck no.
Not obeying the AP order either, which is so simple: apnews.com/article/trum...
If Trump decides to hold onto power in 2028 , election or no election, I do t see any peaceful or lawful way to prevent that. Does anyone else? His cabinet surely won’t stop him and he will ignore the courts
Chris we are ready to do something. It will help if there are strong leaders organising us out here.
Can they be disbarred? They purport to be officers of the court and have taken oaths to uphold the law
What can we do? We know what he'sdoing and we need to know what the best thing for us to do NOW is.
bsky.app/profile/lega...
I hope you and the rest of the Democratic Congress are reading The Bulwark about this matter and how it cannot be allowed to stand.
He needs to be impeached NOW. Do it. It must happen.
Impeach him and remove him from office. If not that what?
With all due respect, Senator - then FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!
Only the Dems can do something about this. Go directly to our other Presidents, to our military, to your national guard, to NATO, to Canada, to whomever is willing to help bring him home.
Democrats need to meet with Republicans they believe to be ready to save our country. We need a handful of Republicans to cross the aisle to save this country. You all need to help them. There has to be 8 people ready to be American heroes! Go find them!!
Yes!!
Keep an eye on the R's and D's that No Labels supports. Their day will come: nolabelsallies.nolabels.org/page/main
Agreed! If there are NOT 8 people who are ready to step up and Cross the Aisle, then What? Soon there may not be an Aisle to Cross. It's pretty apparent that the American people who still believe in the Rule of Law are on our own.
It is time to speak of impeachment.
If China or Russia deported a US Citizen to a N Korean Gulag for life, without a trial or criminal charge, can you imagine. Yet here we are justifying to the whole world that we are a nation of law and order. We are barbarians. Third world or worse. DO NOT COME HERE. EVER. We are N Korea.
I agree with everything you said in this thread. So, what do we do? I am a constituent of yours. I feel that you are one of the only national voices calling all of this what it is. But I do not believe that we can wait until the midterms to act. So, what do we do? Please lead us.
You need to start talking impeachment now.
WTF. are you going to do about it?????
That terrorist’s plane shouldn’t have been allowed to leave. He should have been held in custody or kidnapped until a prisoner swap took place. @abc7.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @nbcla.com @cnn.com @msnbc.com
Are you and your Dem Senate colleagues prepared to refuse UC on every single matter before the Senate--legislation, nominations, etc.--in order to force this issue?
Agree with all of this. What can be done?
Stop business as usual.Need nationwide demo@ all levels, call to action,not just 1 day,multiple days: tomorrow Social Security, Wed. gulag. Cong:Take your bullhorns en masse on steps of capitol. Not just 1 or 2 @a time, need many of you for press. Demand attn. Walkout of Congress. Natl walkout.
The SC needs to reverse their ruling protecting Trump.
And what are you and other Dems going to do, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social ? We have been begging for action and intervention. As your constituent, I am happy for the actions you have taken, but this requires 🔥 of the highest order
To be safe as an individual in the US Trump has to be removed from office and put behind bars, preferably in a home for mentally disturbed old men...
I hear he likes El Salvador…
Thank you for your simple clarity on what is one of the most momentous moments in our country's history! Now what.
How many times does he have to do it before it's "normalized", Chris? He gets the first few for free?
So, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, move to impeach him!
So what are the other Democrats doing? So far, many have been voting for GOP bills and sitting on their hands. You are one of the too few exceptions.
Maybe, as a person with great power, you should fuckin do something about it
If you pay attention and have a reasonable concept of the power of a Senator in the minority, you would know he is doing everything legal he possibly can do in his position as a Senator. Who is your Senator?
LOL he didn’t have to vote to confirm Marco Rubio I have two senators (as most Americans do) and they’re both useless as well. My location is in my bio
And so…
Absolutely with you and so are the majority of Americans. HOWEVER, we’re not law enforcement. The question is, when POTUS breaks the law and goes against SCOTUS, who arrests POTUS? If the answer is no one, then there ya go. We’re all fucked. I keep asking this and no one seems to know.
📌
Let me get this straight, so the US government is able to get US spies back from foreign governments, but is unable to get him back because of their own screw up?
Our democracy died on Election Day. We’re just now discovering the body.
It's SCOTUS's fault. By giving Trump full immunity from all crimes. They released this monster. The only other ways to overthrow the government. We need a Liberation Day just like the j6er's.
So are you guys drawing up those Articles of Impeachment or...?
Is there a functioning Senate or Congress? Seems to me country is being run by one individual.
The Republican majority House & Senate have made it clear they will do nothing.
Last I checked, you're a Senator. STOP PROVIDING UNANIMOUS CONSENT!!!!
It should be a screaming headline across all major newspapers and 24/7 news coverage until he's released from the prison. Otherwise, it'll give Trump the green light to lock up and/or kidnap anyone he pleases.
What are you doing.
Right. That is the big plan. Erode institutions and make the USA dictatorship.
How did we get here? This wasn't a failure of Democracy, this was a failure to defend it. I see nothing but capitulation from the majority of Democrats, people who are too scared of harming their career by making waves. But brave enough to do postings on Utgard Twitter, wowie.
Republicans. Your question begins and ends with them. They are a death cult.
LOL we right behind you buddy, feel free to go on and start that resistance then if you are so brave.
Germany had lots of basically law-abiding citizens who kept their heads down despite disagreeing with the Reich. And then there were the ones who gleefully embraced this cooperation with the Nazis. We have a word for the latter, even if they pretended to be cynical fatalists: we call them Nazis.
He already has, buddy.
Somehow, it was the Dems fault. No, it was the fault of Republicans who embraced Trump and voters who were too stupid to remember how horrible he was. It might make you feel better to think otherwise, but this country killed itself.
Was Vichy France the fault of German Nazis or of French collaborators? That's a stupid question. Sure, if Nazis never existed, the people in France who would have collaborated would have nothing to collaborate with, but conversely had they not been there to collaborate... then no collaboration.
Any attempt to exonerate the spineless worms like Schumer or Jeffries who are to all intents and purposes castrating the resistance is to be part of the problem. They are part of the problem. Their defenders are part of the problem.
You normalize it by being on vacation right now.
Sick burn lol ✌️.
Must impeach. I know that's out of your control. But must happen.
This is all well and good (and well-explained), but if feeble mush (like this from Leader Jeffries) is all that Democrats can muster, you should be ashamed. You deserve to be humiliated without more. bsky.app/profile/atru...
We can thank MITCH MCCONNELL for this. And LINDSEY GRAHAM. And the rest of the GOP who lost their spine, ethics & oath to the Constitution. We are headed for a Chernobyl-like meltdown in this country.
Senator, what are you prepared to do?
We have no Constitution, please act accordingly. open.substack.com/pub/pcrrites...
I presume you are going to El Salvador then? You voted for Rubio, an absolute monster. You now have to help clean up the mess.
So Trump defied Judge Boasberg, he ignored SCOTUS and he ignored Judge Xinis. How many times must he defy courts before we are no longer a Democracy? By my count one time is enough to make that declaration. But I understand that everyone gives Trump a pass or two, right?
I really hope you are encouraging your colleagues in the House to impeach him.
But also what are YOU directly going to do about it? Do not agree to UC. Go to El Salvador. Use every tool in your toolbox to slow down the Republican Fascist agenda. You have agency. For the love of god, you need to use it.
Cool. So get rid of him. Now.
Thank you for addressing this head-on, Senator! Miller is desperately trying to take control of the narrative. Applying so much spin, I felt ill for the following hours. I was genuinely worried I had completely misinterpreted their ruling for a few moments.
Send our troops to El Salvador to bring THEM home! Bring every last one of them back for their day in court. We need our leaders to stand up to this MAGA Nazi. Remove him NOW.
45harley.github.io/CB/
I appreciate you bringing gravity to the situation. However, the American people demand an action plan. What is Congress going to do? What can citizens do? You have the power and influence to mobilize the people. Talking and marching on one weekend day won't change this.
Ok what’s the plan Chris
I hope you & every democratic member of Congress are talking to your colleagues across the aisle. I always hear that many speak differently behind the scenes. Now is the time to pursuade some to join in confronting this emergency. ALL democrats in Congress should be having these conversations NOW!!
*persuade
Impeach the mother fucker.
Surely now you will stop granting unanimous consent. Shirley?
Yes, and?
Senator Murphy, as a senator, you can do a lot before they arrest you. So do something that gets you arrested. History has its eyes on you.
Senator Van Hollen says he's going to El Salvador to try and get Garcia back. Will you join him? Rep. Torres introduced the RESCUE Act to make it a legal obligation to take strong steps to get people like Garcia back. Will you co-sponsor a Senate version?
He’d better take an army with him. Democrats are going to have to shut down the Senate until the court order is obeyed. Democrats should talk to the Joint Chiefs about their obligation to uphold the Constitution. They should be told to execute the court order and retrieve the man, by force.
What are you going to do? What are the next steps?
So, what’s the action plan?
So? You have the power of the people. Do something.
IMPEACH!!!!!!!
HOW??? Dems are a minority party, zero power to impeach. Rep. Green has an impeachment bill in. Hasn't moved since Johnson won't do it. So maybe stop hollering for it?
Following Andrew Jackson's precedent
You should be the Democratic leader in the Senate. @chuckschumer.com is the wrong leader for this moment. @democrats.senate.gov
Agreed! These are desperate times requiring desperate measures. What can we DO aside from mass protesting? I see no way out. Even if he is impeached there is JD Vance and the whole clown cabinet. This must be how the people in Germany felt in 1933. What can we DO?
Keep protesting, keep calling and emailing, boycott companies that comply...hopefully a handful of Republicans will wake up. I am not optimistic, but @schumer.senate.gov and @democrats.senate.gov offer no hope or inspiration except for a few.
YES!!!!! Schumer MUST step down Now!!!!! We need STRONG LEADERSHIP before it’s too late!!!
Resign @schumer.senate.gov you endanger us and the country every day you remain opposition leader
The reason we're in this shitshow is because the majority of white voters voted for Dump in 2016, 2020 AND 2024.
I know. I didn't and I worked my butt off for the Dem candidates...
What are you gonna do about it
bsky.app/profile/phid...
Time to secede and join Canada
So what's the plan?
See you in the streets!
Until the Supreme Court reverses their past decision he will keep pushing and pushing. He is at war with the Constitution.
Senator, shut down the Senate until the GOP wakes up to this threat. No unanimous consent for anything. Holds on all nominees.
This
I’ve been saying the same thing for a month. The citizens are in the streets, showing our resistance, and our leaders are not giving it their all.
No disrespect, but most reasonable folks already understand this. Would love to feel like more is being done to resolve it than posts on social media from you and so many others in Washington.
Right? I can't stand this constant posting telling us what is wrong. We know what is wrong. Tell us what you are going to do!
If this is a watershed moment, and I believe it is, then perhaps Congress should act like it and get themselves back to Washington.
Share. WRITE & MAIL 9 LETTERS! Flood SCOTUS with millions of letters from US! We can ALL do this! John G. Roberts,Clarence Thomas,Samuel A. Alito,Sonia Sotomayor,Elena Kagan,Neil M. Gorsuch,Brett M. Kavanaugh,Amy Coney Barrett,Ketanji Brown Jackson C/O SCOTUS 1 First Street NE Washington DC 20543
I will. I worry their clerks will divert the letters, however.
That's the beauty of it! USPS regulations prohibit that, unlike email. 😁
Ooh.
Great! Glad you’re finally paying attention! …now what are you going to DO about it?
He has been paying attention for a very long time.
That’s just lovely. So what’s his excuse for not doing anything to stop it, then?
What would you have him do? Chris Murphy has been speaking out in a similarly blunt way for many weeks now. He voted against the continuing resolution. If you’ve got a strategy, i’m one of many who would love to hear it.
As a US senator, what will it take for you or any other senator to begin impeachment proceedings? When will you all realize that the democratic republic is disappearing?
Meanwhile, an innocent American citizen is summarily executed by the police... No supreme court case. No loud public outcry. Local judges see a train of these savagely beaten and bloodied defendants DAILY, and do absolutely nothing about it. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...
This is a watershed moment, Senator. That is what makes it so frustrating that you've let Schumer continue to lead you after his capitulation to Donald Trump
Senator, it’s time for you to call for impeachment.
Go to El Salvador with Van Hollen and bring other Senators with you. Make this international news
…bring every elected official that will go. It SHOULD be international news🤬
Ok he goes there and they don’t let him in, then what?
I think Van Hollen should go with many people backing him up, but not other senators or Reps, tbh Just in case Bukele tries something that was once unthinkable.
Right? Nothing is unthinkable anymore.
Tell us what to do. And don't say "call your representatives" or "donate".
www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...
People act like this the first time Trump has ignored the law
He keeps upping the ante until someone calls him on it. As someone said LAST time, 'this entire administration has been like being tied to a chair and watching a toddler play with a loaded gun.'
What are you doing about it?
Post, mostly
Agree with all. Important difference between us and you: We have no power and very little voice. We’ve been going to protests, raising the alarm, calling our Congressmen (like you) & begging you to throw yourself in front of Trump’s train. No one cares what I think, but a US senator?!

Completely agree. NOW GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I hope you're talking with your peers about replacing Schumer. He ain't ready for the fight.
Get a delegation of Dems and fly to El Salvador and demand his return immediately.

I agree, but perhaps you could tell us what you and your colleagues are prepared to do in this moment. So far, your caucus has gone out of its way to help him. No real effort to block his nominees. The majority leader caved to his agenda. So WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO DIFFERENTLY NOW?
How about join Chris Von Hollen on his field trip to El Salvador to go get Garcia, Chris?
YES
I'm in . Can we all go?
I wish he’d brought the Maryland national guard. One of his statements sounded an awful lot like he thinks he can have a negotiation with the El Salvador president. As if TFG has a single good faith bone in his body.
Sen. Murphy, the Supreme Court facilitated this moment by arming Trump with an invented immunity against legal accountability. Now, it can't protect us from the consequences of its actions. What is your plan to protect us against a lawless and irresponsible Court that imperils democracy?
Because without such a plan, you can't protect us as citizen, Senator, or in any other position you may someday hold. Please be specific and detailed in your response.
SCOTUS???
Can we finally agree we've arrived at the much anticipated Constitutional Crisis? Next step? No Congressional Leaders to walk up to the Oval to stop the madness 'cause they're scared and accomplices and a USSC not enforcing their OWN/ weak decision. A Crisis it is.

IMPEACH
You are correct on all counts. Now, what are you going to do about it, Senator?
Narrator: idiot Americans normalized it
Are you going to El Salvador with Senator Van Hollen? If not, why not?
Senator, given the corruption of the current DOJ, it is absurd to believe that the President is risking anything personally for his outlaw behavior. Even if we change the makeup of congress and impeach Trump, how does he get physically removed from office?
We agree and you have a big platform.
So what do we do Chris?
something something 10,000,000 luigi's, something something
My head might just explode.
when does your flight to El Salvador leave?
What happens next? Gutless, prostrated GOP Senators and Representatives will not vote to impeach. Bondi, of course, will not do anything to enforce the SC ruling. SC does not have its own enforcement apparatus. Certainly there has to be a way to get him back by going around the corrupt DOJ.
This has been the point all along. Everything has led to this moment. And SCOTUS is complicit long ago.
FUCK REPUBLICANS!
Thank you Senator for fighting. If nothing happens to Trump and his plebes for giving the finger to a Supreme Court order, it's over.
THIS IS A WATERSHED MOMENT. NO American is safe. And if you, Americans, don't PUSH BACK HARD and DEMAND the return of EVERYONE from El Salvador, until they ALL GET DUE PROCESS, then YOU ARE NEXT. Your LOVED ONES are next.
🧵 [1/4] Operation Anti-King (OAK) is now working with Project Mayday. They're getting impeachment confirmations from congress, and pressuring those who haven't commented, or said no, into supporting. Al Green is bringing articles in <30 days. Let's help. 👇 More info & ways to help in this thread.
🧵 [2/4] The grassroots movements have picked up traction, and Congress is starting to discuss impeachment, as MSNBC recently covered. But we need your help. The next step is pressure. Anyone in the USA can write a letter to the editor of your local news to tighten the chain and force them to speak.
OK but impeachment might be a distraction and consume too much time from our Congress people. We need them to do bigger things. We know how impeachment will end with this clown car of a Congress. It’s pointless at this time.
That said, we need to discourage the idea that it's pointless. Not using every tool in our kit will mean we'll always fail. We're trying to get Al Green to collab with @senategabe.bsky.social and @operationanti-king.bsky.social's articles, citing tyranny.
That's honestly where the American public comes in. If every person at these protests suddenly started demanding, all day, impeachment, on every sign, if Sanders and AOC talked about it, we could build a movement tens of millions strong. It's very possible that the pressure would cause congress 1/2
to cave. And moreover, that the GOP may be waiting for overwhelming show of demands for impeachment from a huge swath of the country, to feel 'safe enough' to go against Trump. Several have already bucked against Trump's policies repeatedly. But we need to be loud. So loud, and never let up.

🧵 [4/4] The articles of impeachment proposed by OAK can be found here: www.citizensimpeachment.com/article_i_ty... The charge is plain: Tyranny. A word with great power historically that broadly encompasses everything Trump has done so far. ▶️ MSNBC Coverage: www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...
Most #Republicans come from religious cults. Being MAGA is an extension of that cult life. People don't generally leave cults.
They can all start a new party called the not-crazy party, and stop this. 273 Republicans in Congress, and we can’t get 8 to stand up and say Trump is crazy and breaking the law by refusing a Supreme Court order.
Senator, do you plan on taking responsibility for how you, personally, contributed to this by helping validate the GOP's insane framing on undocumented immigrants?
What?
www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Voters who showed up cared about the border. People who didn't want to outvote them stayed home.
According to the Constitution the entire cabinet can be Impeached. Move forward with that.
THIS. THIIIIIIIIIIIIS.
Could be snatch off the street for no rhythm or reason. The worst could happen if when they go to school and take the kids. All the kids would be traumatized for the rest of their lives. Especially the young ones.
Sen Murphy, if you ever need people watching your back, call us and we'll come, remember that
bsky.app/profile/juli...
Yes! This is insanity.
I have always thought it mattered to me. It should also matter to anyone who claims to respect "law and order". Trump is acting lawlessly and subjecting someone to the chaos of a supposed "administrative error."
You are exactly RIGHT!!!!!
we've entered the dark space the best you can do is to change hearts and minds is it time for Johne Green crash course? maybe it's time for John Greene course harsh
It seems to me, with their enabling and inaction against a lunatic tyrant, the Republican members of both chambers of Congress are the ones that are at grave risk, now.
WE NEED TO SEE SOME ACTION>> MANY DEMS HOLD 1 PRESS CONFERENCE PLEASE UNITY THERE PLEASE CALL ALL YOUR TV SHOW CONTACTS NOW!!
Can the lawyers in the DOJ form a "sickout"? The Flu is really going around lately. And measles.
Per ICC website, “The ICC can prosecute crimes against humanity….The 15 forms of crimes against humanity listed in the Rome Statute include offences such as…imprisonment, enforced disappearances…torture, apartheid and deportation.” Sounds familiar. How to get the ICC to act? ☎️ Jack Smith?
And it's just what he wants. To scare the b-jeezus out of all of us so we don't make any trouble and abide by his rules. The Rulers rules. Don't stray. Bow down. Like when he was in NK and said, I want my people to do that. Bow down to KJU. Applaud him. Kiss his butt.
As President Trump made his way out of Congress following his speech, he stopped to shake hands with the four Supreme Court justices in attendance. While shaking the hand of Chief Justice John Roberts, he said, “Thank you again, I won’t forget it,” then slapped the chief on the back.
Shut up and grant unanimous consent 500 more times

Impeach him now. Don't wait.
How is this not at least human trafficking?
If the majority of Americans, REGARDLESS of political affiliation don’t see this as a bridge too far and the devastation of their Democracy, it’s over for the US. Trump, Putin and the despots 45 so admires have won. What a travesty! Sent with deep concern and outrage from Canada.
Please stop chilling your bones and DO SOMETHING.
Fucking do something about it the we are in grave danger who is this we you speak of…you are a senator get your colleagues together and actually have oversight and accountability
No one is safe. Not even his cronies, they just don't believe it will happen to them.
It’s time to act sooner rather than later.
If only we had leadership to counter what’s happening.
This is the point I keep trying to make: I don’t care who you voted for or what party affiliation you maintain—this is about our Constitution & our democracy. If u don’t speak out about THIS, then I’m afraid we’ve crossed the rubicon as a country & the question is merely: stay & speak out or leave.
Even though I’m Canadian, I have been very worried for this for a matter of days.
It matters. What about the other innocents? And Homeland Security Barbie was standing right in front with the guy with the keys.
Thank you Senator Murphy for understanding the moment. It seems like way too many in Congress are treating this as business as usual, which is insane.
And he wants to be able to send citizens. Will he be able to get citizens back if he makes a mistake? He must be explicitly disallowed from doing this. Actually he should be impeached, if possible.
That was a lightweight segment saying, the U.S. constitution is toilet paper at this point, and that America has become a Dictatorship!
Senator Murphy, what will finally get the Republicans in Congress and the Senate to do SOMETHING? We're becoming a third world country under the rule of a madman and his mad accomplices.
He thinks he is the Law and a superior over all...he must be removed from office ...I hope there are those brave enough to find something on him ....he is Satan.
CONSIDER- 1) If they grab you off street? Just hav 2 get you AWAY from Local Court Jurisdict b4 Hearing Date (=Charter/Comm Air) 2) @ ICE (Or whateve) Deport Facility? Cargo Planes leave DAILY. 3) Once your over IntNat Waters?… It’s too late.* *Time FROM ‘grab’?=48hrs… 4days, TOPS.
But conservatives won’t care until a white Dallas Cowboys cheerleader is shipped off. So what do we do about it, except continue to express our outrage? If Hair Fuhrer is ignoring courts, what’s the recourse?
Call your rep. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper, shaming your rep. Protest loudly and visibly. We the people need to make our voices heard.
My reps are all Dems. They’re feckless Dems. All districts are gerrymandered. I agree that we can’t do nothing, but what’s gonna move the Republicans? Something has to get them to give a shit, because the fascist in the White House doesn’t care at all.
Mine is an R. The local editorials are brutal to him right now. Maybe it won't change, but we need to try. We need them to be as uncomfortable as we can make them. You have a lot better odds than me, even with a feckless D. Get them to realize the people will be with them if they impeach.
I know you’re right that it’s better than nothing.
I get why this case matters, so I’d like to see Democrats in Congress pushing for a meeting with El Salvador president, arranging a trip to the prison to bring Mr. Garcia back, and holding press conference on the steps of Supreme Court, telling Roberts to hold Trump accountable.
Sen Van Hollen is trying to meet with him.
Every American is an immigrant except your First Nations/Native Americans. Like Melania for example.
It matters to me because he’s a human being and along with many other human beings, was cruelly taken from his home without cause and without due process. It makes me ill to think of how they are being treated and how hopeless they must feel. Please also don’t forget about the others removed too!
Part of the plan is to show us cruelty so that we will fear them. It will make the population easier to control. I for one, will take whatever the burn is over submitting to their control.
We have an armed population, I dont think we will go willingly
Majority of the “armed population” are maga.
Absolutely NOT TRUE, wanting common sense gun laws doesn’t mean we all don’t carry
TRUTH👍
Actually I’m glad to hear this! I have no doubt there will be a civil war
Go to El Salvador with Van Hollen this week.
This is extremely devastating. Please continue to fight for justice !
This you? www.thenation.com/article/poli...
This you? www.thenation.com/article/poli...
See you there!! Hasta luego!!
What do you plan to do
This is why Trump and all of his appointees along with JD Vance and musk need to all be rounded up and convicted and put in prison for crimes against the United States and our allies. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
So what happens now?
Call your representatives and Senators about Abrego Garcia just like you were calling your representatives and Senators to shut down the government back in March.
Due Process should matter to every American.
