The DHS’s use of force on Senator Padilla was uncalled for, cruel, and unacceptable This was a deliberate attempt to intimidate an elected official whose only offense is standing up for the voiceless But it’s not just about Senator Padilla, it’s about every person who dares to speak truth to power

A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump illegally commandeered the California National Guard. Control must now be returned to Governor Newsom by tomorrow at Noon. There are no Kings in the United States of America.

The Constitution sets forth limits, and that includes the President of the United States. Today, the people won.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨THIS IS A HUGE LOSS FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION!! Gavin Newsom JUST announced Trump has LOST in court and the National Guard will be back under Newsom’s command at noon TOMORROW. HIT THE 💙IF YOU STAND WITH GAVIN NEWSOM!

The court has ruled. Donald Trump you must relinquish your authority of the National Guard back to me and back to California.

It’s times like these when we are fortunate to have a Secretary of Defense who was chosen because he could do a lot of pushups on TV.

Good thing we had real estate investor Steve Witkoff negotiating deals with Russia and Iran.

BREAKING:: YESSS:: Judge Breyer - Justice Breyer's brother, has ORDERED the Trump regime to RELINQUISH CONTROL of the California National Guard to GOVERNOR NEWSOM. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump is about to start WW3

😕

A federal judge has ruled that dictator-wannabe Trump illegally called-in the National Guard to Los Angeles, California. Judge Breyer has ordered that control of the Guard be returned to Gov. Gavin Newsom. 🙌🙏💪👏🇺🇸👇

That says it all!

Read these words from Senator Murray, who has said it so well tonight. We’re in danger of losing democracy. Don’t ignore what’s happening. joycevance.substack.com/p/we-are-a-d...

Raise your hand if you were dumb enough to have believed this.

Trump is the very thing he warned us about. Read “the issue.” — new 👇🏼

Mr. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I discuss this on tomorrow's @dailybeanspod.com <3

A child’s life and home, taken away overnight by Trump’s cruel and inhumane mass deportation policy. This is not who we are as a country.

Resign now, Kristi Noem.

There is no universe in which it is acceptable for a Secretary of DHS to say anything like this. Kristi Noem must resign immediately. Or be impeached.

I will not call it Fort Bragg. It’s Fort Liberty.

John Fetterman was spotted having dinner on his wedding anniversary, not with his wife, but with Steve Bannon, joined by Matt Boyle of Breitbart at DC's popular MAGA gathering spot, Butterworth's.

I’ll tell you what. If you voted for Trump, and now it’s coming back to bite you, I don’t want to hear about how sad you are. I want to know what you’re gonna do about it. Start there.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 150. Everything you need to know about another day in politics where the Trump admin lurches from clownish incompetence to repressive authoritarianism seemingly every hour. Here is what happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

Senator Padilla spoke moments AFTER Kristi Noem outrageously stated she intended to “liberate” the City of Los Angeles from its democratically-elected mayor and governor. He had every right to confront her about her incendiary, hateful, and deeply stupid statement.

NEW: Judge Charles Breyer sharply questioned Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles and said his claim the decision is unreviewable by courts evokes the founders’ fear of a monarchy. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social @dustingardiner.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

🚨 The Trump regime just arrested a sitting U.S. Senator at a DHS presser—then lied about it. Tanks in D.C., Newsom fights back, Trump's latest trade surrenders, and more. Full breakdown on the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

The silence of our military leaders is deafening.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?” @govpritzker.illinois.gov: “Taking their legal right to be here away.” @aoc.bsky.social: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.”

Field Marshal Noem was also conducting combat operations today for her masked elite special forces.

NPR watch: On ATC tonight, reporter said there was a "struggle" between Sen Padilla and the thugs, and then an "escalation of the tensions." Jesus. Listen for yourself: www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n... Thugs at the direction of Noem/Trump/Miller manhandled and handcuffed a US Senator. Some "struggle"

DHS has begun notifying 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela that their temporary permission to live and work in the US has been revoked and they should leave. Under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program, they were given 2-year permits to live and work in the US.

BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Here’s the full episode jimacosta.substack.com/p/padilla-de...

How about Democratic Members of Congress don’t go to a fucking White House picnic because the guy in the White House is a fascist, an authoritarian threat to this country, who’s disappearing people and inciting violence on our streets? Come on my fellow Democrats, enough already.

Do you stand with Sen. Alex Padilla?

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

BREAKING: The House just passed the bill to codify $9.4 billion of DOGE cuts, including clawing back billions in federal funding for NPR, PBS, and foreign aid

mike johnson desperately wants to be a supplicant to a king

Senator Murphy: I don't ask law enforcement to throw my constituents to the ground and violently handcuff them because they have a different opinion from me. We don't do that in a democracy. If this is how a Senator can be treated, none of our constituents are safe. This is a test for the country
