"'For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me'" (Mt 25).

My blood is boiling. This is appalling.

Andry, the makeup artist deported to Trump’s foreign prison in El Salvador - without due process and under false pretenses - hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Members of Congress who went to El Salvador asked for proof that he’s alive. This is a crisis.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

The Trump Administration sent a gay well known makeup artist to El Salvador! Andry Romero was grabbed up by ICE after having no criminal record or gang affiliation. He was last scene by The Times photojournalist the night they arrived looking scared to death! This is not good.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

@KatiePMcGrady And when you know that it should be "you and ME" instead of "you and I" when used as the object, you can slowly go crazy 🤣 (Correct: She gave a book to Susie and ME. To check, just leave Susie out of the sentence & see how it sounds. You wouldn't say "She gave it to I." )

Stock markets crashing.

Small businesses reeling.

National security experts fired.

White nationalists advising the President.

WHEN will my Republican friends find their voice to say that this cannot continue?

[Lorraine M @lasmonaco]

@SecRubio @POTUS That was a disgraceful performance by our President and Vice President.

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

Believe in Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

RETWEET if you stand with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy!

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember. And now, as you take office again, the American people need to reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic — to protect the America we love from you.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

It’s a sad state of affairs when the richest man in the world can send us straight towards a government shutdown.

He’ll be fine, but a lot of the servicemembers working without paychecks during Christmas won't be.

With funding from President Biden's infrastructure law, we're funding new roads and multi-use paths in Lorain, OH, to be safer and more resilient against storms and flooding. https://t.co/GppB1ge8YO
