55 years ago today, Dock Ellis performed the greatest pitching feat of all time. #LSDNoNo #Pirates #Baseball

Perfection.

VIEWER FEEDBACK: I should be in prison.

Proud Boys with badges.

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...

Damn right.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

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.

Chuck Schumer needs to shut down the Senate. Nothing short of that will suffice

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

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.

An absolute disgrace. This is what this fascist regime thinks is the right way to run our beloved country.

I dunno, but maybe Democratic members of Congress shouldn't go the White House picnic tonight and pretend everything's fine and dandy, unless and until Sen. Padilla gets a phone call apologizing for what happened from Donald Trump?

The derangement of right wing politics in America is incredible

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.”

Hi @jaketapper.bsky.social ? A sitting United States Senator was just physically assaulted by the Trump Administration. This is why nobody gives a f*ck about your stupid book about Joe Biden.

Holy shit. This is @padilla.senate.gov They just forcibly arrested a U.S. Senator.

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

THIS A UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA BEING PHYSICALLY SHOVED OUT OF A MEETING ABOUT WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN OUR STATE.

@padilla.senate.gov represents the best of the Senate. The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving him out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation. He will not be silenced or intimidated. His questions will be answered. I’m with Alex.

A US Senator 😳

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction' It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/coup...

AP footage of Senator Alex Padilla being physically removed from Kristi Noem's press conference about the LA @schiff.senate.gov @congresstran.bsky.social Thank you, Senator @padilla.senate.gov

That Big Ugly Bill intends to strip our courts of the power to enforce their orders. No patriot is in favor of that. It is clearly an authoritarian power-grab.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

Opinion | It's great the Trump is naming military bases after Confederate generals. But he should really start naming them after Nazi generals.

Pete Hegseth, in a congressional hearing, just refused to commit to abiding by any court decisions about Marines in Los Angeles.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

I didn't recite "with Liberty and Justice for all" every morning in school just to be called Radical for wanting Liberty and Justice for ALL as an adult.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

The striking thing about Johnson — not new, but striking — is that he has so much power that he won't use because he'd rather get pats on the head from Trump. A historic embarrassment to a position that's included at least one child molester.
