What remains when courts no longer carry weight, when moral appeals drown in the applause of power, when a man vanishes in the name of political expediency? Then the rule of law dies, not with a bang, but with a handshake. Say his name…Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I hear Democrats upset that Democratic leadership is not riding to the moment. How about, “ask not what your Democratic leaders can do for you but what you can do for your Democratic leaders”. It’s all hands on deck. There is no cavalry coming to save us. It’s up to us.

I took my 2 year old son to an MLB game today for some quality dad time and he absolutely had a blast. In fact, he was sad when the game ended because he wanted to stay at the ballpark. It was a good reminder that there’s still a lot of joy in life.

After attending the Elizabeth Warren town hall today in Nashville I realized something. When Trump talks about making America great again he really only referring to the billionaire class. Similar to when the Vanderbilts and Rockefeller’s were at their height.
