Where the fuck are all the Republican Senators coming out to support the right of a fellow Senator NOT to be body-slammed and cuffed for asking a question in his OWN building in the state HE represents? You KNOW what happened. You SAW the video. WHERE ARE YOU FUCKING COWARDS???

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Warrantless masked operatives wearing and carrying weapons of war are raiding farms, small businesses, and taco stands. The US Military has been deployed to AMERICAN streets! Military parade rolling down the streets of DC. Trump has declared war on America. Prove me wrong. #NoKings

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Whether you’re a proud progressive or a data-driven centrist, if you actually believe in democracy, the current Supreme Court cannot stand. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

A White House official asserted there is “no need” for the public to know who’s in DOGE and asserted that there have been no conflict-of-interest violations: “For decades, we’ve been able to operate without these people’s names.”

I woke up this morning feeling very proud that @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social is my Senator! Thank you @padilla.senate.gov! We are with you and we will not be deterred!!! 🇺🇸

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing.  But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

Make "fake Christian" happen.

The assault on LA County by gangs of masked thugs - terrorizing people at their places of work - examplifies the Trump Regime, which is institutionalizing illegality, as I discussed here.

Let’s just be clear about this: GEO Group, the private prison company running Delaney Hall, was STARVING people who had been detained by ICE. The Trump Administration is running a concentration camp system.

Wars were never going to happen under Trump!

We have a great deal of work to do but I will take these small wins along the way. Keep libraries free of right wing ideology and attacks.

What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

RESULT: Tuesday's two ballot measures to protect public libraries from the conservative city council in Huntington Beach have both *won.* The first repeals the recently-created 'book review committee'. The second bars privatization of the public libraries. Context:

It has happened here before, and this looks like that. I am literally about to give a talk about the violent takeover of democratic governance in the Reconstructed South, and this looks like that. It is not the same, but if you do not see it at all, you are not looking.

NEW: A prominent LI civil rights attorney will be announcing a lawsuit against ICE later today on behalf of his client, an American citizen from Brentwood, Long Island, NY who says ICE agents detained him, entered his car, reached inside and and demanded he exit the vehicle. More info coming soon..

Trump said protests against him would be met with “very heavy force.” Sen. Padilla’s treatment suggests that’s their attitude toward attempts to question the king’s courtiers as well.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

This is the kind of thing gets you excommunicated in MAGA land

UPDATE: Sounds like Trump’s rich farming and hotel buddies told him to stop his Gestapo from attacking innocent, hard to replace workers

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

"We don't need to be in Normandy to defend our democracy in 2025. We need to be in these halls, in the courts, and in communities across the country." - @skyeperryman.bsky.social

The soaring eagle has crashed

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Trump now claims "changes are coming" to his immigration policies — after he heard from business leaders that his mass deportation agenda "is taking very good, long time workers away from them."

"Hegseth has confirmed the deployment of the Guard and active-duty troops is now to be thought of as a routine part of the mass deportation campaign. The guardrail that stood against the use of the military at home except in extraordinary situations is gone." www.thebulwark.com/p/department...

Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too. We won't participate in abuses of power. We won't violate court orders. We won't ignore the Constitution. We won't defy the Supreme Court. We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

Man ‘fitting the general description’ of someone wanted by ICE arrested at courthouse. It turned out to be a US Marshal

Pat Bagley of the Salt Lake City Tribute nails it again - Trump has long expressed admiration with how China handled the Tiananmen Square demonstrators:

“Downright un-American”: Hegseth blasted by Democrats over military deployment in Los Angeles https://twp.ai/4ioPnE

Gavin Newsom is speaking out against Trump and trumpism, You should retweet this! www.facebook.com/share/v/16Jm...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Men and women in uniform put their lives on the line for our country. In return, the Trump Administration slashed defense medical research that helps address the physical and mental injuries from their years of service. Shameful.
