The way agents treated Senator Padilla is what you see in totalitarian regimes. It is outrageous that Secretary Noem let this happen, then lied about the incident after the fact. She has proven herself to be derelict in her responsibilities.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

@bestese34.bsky.social Terry Moran was fired for calling Stephen Miller “bile” but… Sen. Mike Lee can make a joke about killing a MN speaker and remain in office. Mike Johnson can call for the “tar and feathering” of the California Governor and remain Speaker. Do I have this right?

We the People are showing up!

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

BREAKING: ICE raids at farms and hotels are back on. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The moment when the Russian drone directly hit a residential building in Kyiv appeared online. Russians continue to fight against civilians.

Utah Senator Mike Lee’s tweet about the tragic assassination of our beloved Speaker Emerita Hortman is utterly reprehensible. Making light of this is nothing short of grounds for expulsion — or censure, at minimum. This is exactly the sort of behavior that spurs political violence.

"I wrote it because I thought it was true." @timmiller.bsky.social talked with @terrymoranabc.bsky.social about his firing from ABC after a tweet on Stephen Miller

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

Donald fiercely fights to retain the title "Worst Person in America."

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

The horrific assassinations in Minnesota and manhandling of my friend Senator Padilla demand immediate attention.

Psychopathic

The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting. This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights. #Pinks #OneV1 ⬇️ www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...

If you are a parent, please make sure you monitor your child’s social media. There is an app called Likee that child predators are using to interact with young children. They are building profiles of children on the app. I saw conversations about this on two sites.

The Asshole-in-Chief.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

This is awesome. Mike Lee is also on camera saying he wants to end Social Security.

It’s no coincidence that there’s always a major catastrophe or crisis in the Middle East when the orange felon is in power which is even more proof that crime slumlord Jared Kushner’s fake Middle East peace mission was nothing more than a scheme to earn his $2B Saudi paycheck.

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

This should be bigger news.

10 years ago today, nine people were killed at Mother Emanuel AME Church by an 18-year-old who obtained a firearm due to the “Charleston Loophole.” We have a responsibility use every tool at our disposal to close this dangerous gap and keep our communities safe from gun violence.

The Judge said that in four decades, he had “never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable.” “You are bearing down on people of color because of their color,” he said, referring to the Trump administration. “The Constitution will not permit that.” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Families belong together.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

He’s TACOing on his TACO.

For the third time since I took office, we're funding above the required pension payment — creating a $75M reserve fund for expected costs of adjusting to the Social Security Wage Base. With this fix in effect, we’re protecting taxpayers and state workers from future shortfalls

I've only posted an article with a paywall one other time. I did so because the first half was not behind a paywall and had useful, immediately applicable information, even if people never saw the other half. That's also the situation with this one. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Trump: You all know the great PM of the UK and we just signed a document *drops documents* Trump: A little windy out here. We just signed it and so we have our trade agreement with the EU

Deja Vu

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

He did rename a few military bases though.

💯💯💯

And man being detained by them is a veteran, attempting to go to an appointment that he had.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Minnesota lawmakers were butchered in their homes and Donald Trump doesn't have the f*ckin' decency to call Governor Tim Walz, because Donald Trump is a traitorous sociopath who has no desire to lead or care for this nation and its people.

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

I hope the good people of Utah fire him in 2028 - though he should resign now.

@maddow.msnbc.com

The United States Gov't should never be refered to as a Regime. This is a red flag. On fire.
