This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Longer video of the forcible removal, detainment, and arrest of Sen. Alex Padilla by the Trump regime during a DHS press conference. Footage provided by Sen. Padilla's team.

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

It’s like did anything happen in the world in the past 80 years?

And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

My relatives keep asking me how we're doing in the riots. I say, you mean the police riots? Cuz no one else is rioting.

So now diversity is good?

Before landing at DHS, Fugate worked on the Trump campaign and interned at The Heritage Foundation. According to his LinkedIn profile, the bulk of his leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

Same guy who downplayed elon’s nazi salute

Here's a painful parlor game: NYC Dem mayoral candidates on the "most effective" Dem in the country today: Stringer: Hakeem Jeffries Blake: Me Mamdani: Michelle Wu Tilson: Cory Booker Cuomo: Hakeem Jeffries Myrie: Andrea Stewart-Cousins Ramos: Wes Moore Lander: Michelle Wu A. Adams: Hakeem Jeffries

Same guy who tells us people only wanna hear about kitchen table issues. Feel like neighbors abducted by masked agents is closer to the kitchen table than relations with Iran. Then again AIPAC gotta get that return on investment!

I honestly don’t know if 2nd Amendment people will be happy or mad that he couldn’t get a gun

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

$19.4 million. That’s how much taxpayers have spent so far to defend Andrew Cuomo and his staff in three lawsuits brought by women who allege they were sexually harassed by the ex-governor. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

What’s sad to me is that Democrats are so inept at messaging and politicking that they’ll do nothing with this and she’ll keep her Iowa seat

This and I’d say his Nazism

Same guy whose rocket just exploded after takeoff 3 days ago, right?

Solid investigative reporters at NYT provide cover for terrible, misleading political news reporting (redefining crime, critics say…)

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

This is plain wrong. He is trying to use the most recent SCOTUS definition which twisted in its logic. Last I checked, Lipton is not a judge, not a lawyer, but a reporter and should be using the normal person’s standard English dictionary definition of corruption. This is deliberately misleading

To be this gullible as to think savings or deficit reduction (ha!) was ever a goal is to also be so gullible as to believe he’s stepping away from his influence on the highest level of government. Somehow their words are always unquestionably taken at face value even though they lie ALL THE TIME
