When Schumer was still in "duck and cover" mode after 2024, Van Hollen flew to El Salvador where Kilmar Ábrego García had been illegally sent to CECOT and did not stop until Trump was forced to follow the law.
This is the kind of voice that should be leading Democrats right now.

I interned for Sen. Van Hollen and his constituent services office is something every elected official should strive to match the standards of, exemplified by how he handled Kilmar Ábrego García’s illegal detention in El Salvador. This is such a no brainer decision

Adam Hamilton warns that the "wealth is not meant to be our priority. It's not meant to be our God. It's not meant to be worshipped."
Between Talarico, Hamilton, and Warnock, we have some good old-fashioned Christian asceticism aimed at our billionaire class.
I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

This is literally a VEEP plotline. Like I'm not even kidding. This nearly, bar for bar, the a B-plot from the VEEP episode "New Hampshire" (S3, E10).
