I am pretty sure the people have spoken. This isn't what we want. And the whole point of this weekend? A message to our current president: No Kings. You work for us, not the other way around.

We have no kings.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Well past time for big city mayors to call for the arrest of anyone who claims to be law enforcement but wears a mask and/or won’t identify themselves

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

When violent criminals are pardoned due to partisanship… When tribalism excuses violence against the opposing political party… When justice depends on political affiliation… People. Will. Die. GOP leadership must stop this.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Today’s rally, Saint Paul No Kings, is dedicated to our Senator Hoffman and our lost Speaker Emerita Hortman. Fascists want you afraid. They want you to stay home. But Minnesota will keep showing up until America no longer has a king.

Tomorrow is the big day. Our goal: to show the power of the 3.5% rule right here in the U.S. Over 100,000 coalition members and their families will be attending events across the country to help as needed.

I served in combat as an Army Ranger. I'm proud to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday. But it's wrong to throw a $45 million vanity parade to stroke the President’s ego, while at the same time Trump is firing veterans & cutting VA care. crow.house.gov/media/press-...

One thing is for sure after the nonsense of #SecPuppyKiller… We have got to mobilize to protest this weekend. I know it may be scary for some, we have to be courageous. We have to show up. We have to be loud. We must stay peaceful. Now is the time. Make your voice heard.

@hickenlooper.bsky.social there is NO reason to vote with the GOp on ANYTHING. Did you learn nothing from McConnell. Have you learned nothing from this administration so far?! The lies , the corruption, the abuse of working Americans?! You are going to lose our support.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Governors command the National Guard and local law enforcement protects communities and keeps the peace. To federalize the National Guard in Los Angeles or elsewhere in the country, the president must have a legal reason—he can’t just make up an emergency out of thin air. coag.gov/press-releas...

BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge is set to hold a hearing on Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for a temporary restraining order that would bar the Trump administration’s use of the state national guard amid protests against immigration raids in LA. Hearing starting now before Judge Breyer 🧵⬇️

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

🚨 Kristi Noem confirms IRS agents are in LA “to help us track how these violent protestors are funded." She names “NGOs out there, unions, other individuals” as possible targets. This is fiscal surveillance weaponized to silence dissent.📍29:15 in the video stream.

Today I watched as my colleague, @padilla.senate.gov, was shoved and handcuffed by Trump officials. I immediately went to the Senate floor to respond. This is what I said: youtu.be/h40tBBFkiq4?...

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.
