A true American Patriot, doing the right thing. I’m stuck with sack of crap freedom hating knucklehead Roger Marshall. A man who would force 14year old homeless rape victims to have their babies.. Senator Van Hollen on the other hand studies the constitution and takes care of his constituents.

He has put his own life on the line to help someone else.

Hoping he will be protected, himself, and somehow make it through this ordeal unscathed.

He has earned everyone's respect and gratitude for seeking justice and salvation for an innocent man Trump has tried to bury forever in El Salvador.

He is a man of courage and determination who is the living embodiment of his oath to the constitution and of his service to his constituents.

Thank you for showing, once again, that you have REAL BRAINS AND GUTS! You are a GREAT SENATOR! I remember when you were a fairly new senator, and you flew during the night to rescue someone from Trump's misdeeds during his first term! MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE PRESIDENT!

All the snark from the two-bit client state dictator and his weird ass bosses in DC don't change that. They were forced to produce him because a Senator from Maryland went there to ask after the status of a Marylander. Fuck yeah.

If you can’t get in through the front door, check the back door. Or a side door. Or a big window. Or a basement entrance. Or a way in through the garage.

Or maybe there’s a trellis attached to an outside wall and leading up to an upstairs window…

I've always thought of him as a good guy, but sort of dull. But this sort of quiet resistance is needed too. We need more of it.
