Donald Trump doesn’t have the slightest intention of governing. His entire administration is just a gigantic Fuck You to all the people who dislike him. That’s practically the entire country at this point.

"I think at minimum there's needs to be an investigation into how they treated Alex Padilla." Senator Adam Schiff has already called for Kristi Noem's resignation, and remains focused on accountability for the rough handling of Senator Padilla.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

I just saw @padilla.senate.gov speaking on @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com visibly moved by the attacks on his own consituents. It felt real and raw. Way to take the attention focused on you and redirect it to those you serve. Damn impressive.

The treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is disgraceful — no matter how you look at it. If this is how the Trump Administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, we should all be alarmed.

Donald Trump is using brave American soldiers as props in his political performance. It's unconstitutional, it's immoral, and it's putting innocent lives at risk. This isn’t leadership. It’s a dangerous abuse of power.

I don’t think that we can be certain that Trump said no. Not least because he lies about everything.

Trump is president & there’s conflict all over the world and all around the United States. The Divider in Chief with a perpetually weak and feckless foreign policy while playing wannabe corrupt dictator domestically with incompetent thug stooges kissing his ass running agencies.

Trump promised peace through strength and all we got is new and escalating wars through weakness. But I have every confidence he will issue more very stern warnings on Truth Social to solve everything.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

All media needs to report this in context: Kristi Noem outrageously threatened to “liberate” Los Angeles from its freely-elected officials and THEN when Senator Padilla started asking her about it he was manhandled and handcuffed as he approached her.

The Trump Administration's forcible removal of Senator Padilla today is un-American and unacceptable. Our elected officials have a right — and a duty — to conduct oversight of President Trump's abuses of power. As much as the administration wants to silence dissent, we the people won't back down.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Newsom's press office on the Padilla incident: “DIDN'T IDENTIFY HIMSELF!? It’s the FIRST THING out of his mouth in the video. You’ve detained a mayor. A judge. A union leader. Now a U.S. Senator. You’ve deployed Marines on U.S. soil. If a President did this abroad, we'd have a word for it: DICTATOR.

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

As anyone who saw the video knows, Senator Padilla didn't lunge at silly Kristi Noem. He "lunged" at the floor--when pushed by the America Gestapo trying to take away his First Amendment rights and his duty to engage in congressional oversight. This administration is full of shameless liars.
