What happened today should outrage every American — and it's part of a broader pattern of dictator-like moves from Trump's lawless administration. I'm on the Senate floor now to stand with @padilla.senate.gov and condemn this assault on our democracy:

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Despicable. Trump’s goons are roughing up and handcuffing @padilla.senate.gov as he tries to ask a simple question. This is what dictatorship looks like. Watch:

This is extremely disturbing. @padilla.senate.gov was violently removed from a public briefing for asking questions on behalf of the people he represents. Every day that goes by, Donald Trump is making our nation look more and more like a fascist state.

Trump & my Republican colleagues want to throw 16 million Americans off health care – on top of 85 million who are uninsured or underinsured. Their actions will cause more than 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily each year. Why? So they can give massive tax breaks to the 1%.

There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad. 16 MILLION losing health care. 4.3 MILLION losing food assistance. And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt. All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

Goldman on Trump's "Gestapo-like tactics" -- "We don't live in an authoritarian country where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That's the stuff of authoritarian states. That's not how the US operates. And that's really where this is breaking down."

Donald Trump and Republicans included a section in their “big beautiful bill” that would slash taxes and restrictions on purchasing gun silencers. That'll make it easier for ANYONE—violent criminals included—to get their hands on one of these dangerous silencers.

The DOJ just charged a Russian national with moving hundreds of millions through the system—mostly using a foreign stablecoin called Tether. The GENIUS Act includes a massive loophole that allows Tether to evade basic safeguards. It must not move forward without real fixes.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

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.

Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" brings a sledgehammer to clean energy in America — hurting our fight against climate change while raising energy costs and slashing good-paying jobs. That may be "beautiful" for Big Oil, but it's just another betrayal for working people.

The same president who wants to cut $800B from Medicaid and strip health care from 16 million Americans to fund tax cuts for billionaires...is spending $134M to send troops to CA and $45M on his birthday parade in DC. Burning taxpayer dollars to play king. Un-American.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"? Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people. It's the same old failed trickle-down economics.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Yes. When the richest man alive owns over 5 times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households, our country is rapidly moving towards oligarchy. That is unacceptable. We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

The Secretary of Defense lies under oath, claiming "21 million illegals" entered under Biden. Trump previously invented a 20 million figure out of thin air at a campaign rally. Recently, he randomly started saying 21 million. Now his surrogates are parroting that fake number.

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.
