US Senator Alex Padilla being dragged out of Kristi Noem’s press conference today when he showed up to ask her questions.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "We will hold this administration accountable."

Read what Kristi Noem is saying here and remember all the times you heard Republicans – or Fox News – sound off about “states’ rights”. If a Democratic administration said this, that alone would be the number one news story for months.

Calls for Noam to resign are appropriate, but also inadequate. Start the impeachment process in the House. She said what she said & had her goons do what they did LIVE ON CAMERA at a press conference, like she was Budd Dwyer and the Constitution was her mouth.

The incident occurred at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville on Wednesday, coinciding with both the themed school day and a kindergarten moving-up ceremony.

Last time that elected national representatives were put in chains or handcuffs? USA: Today UK: 1648* *Colonel Pride and soldiers physically arrested 45 MPs at Westminster

I wonder why the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California 🤔

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed in handcuffs from a press conference in Los Angeles Thursday after attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem questions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.” - @padilla.senate.gov We MUST hold this administration accountable. #NoKings

MPs and peers urge govt to investigate how a US private equity company is funding £500m takeover of the Telegraph. Concerns about "Chinese state influence”. Why not the same concerns about the ownership of water, steel, auto, airports, banks, real estate?

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.

These vile scumbags are beneath us. The Nazis are germs that must be eradicated by a just government that will protect the world from this cancer. Clean this country out , disinfect it once and for all from NAZIS AND PEDOPHILES!! THEY ARE GERMS!!!!!! 🧼 🔥 🩸 🇺🇸 🦠

LIVE: Right now, I led a march to Leader John Thune’s office — he’s refusing to meet with the House Democrats, who are demanding answers on what he’s doing to protect @padilla.senate.gov.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

The Democratic Party, starting with elected leadership, should organize a massive push to refuse cooperation with Republicans until ICE is off our streets and the Trump regime falls. They are way over any red line anyone could have come up with six months or six years ago.

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.

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.

Nigel Farage is an empty little man hiding behind the grift of racism and xenophobia. He's got nothing for you, but he will be stuffing his pockets with everything he can steal, as he has been doing his whole life.

The Nazi Pedophiles are weak and stupid and we can CRUSH them. We CAN take this country back for good. 🔥 🩸 🇺🇸 #OperationEpstein

BREAKING: SENATOR PADILLA HANDCUFFED AND THROWN TO THE GROUND AFTER BEING FORCIBLLY REMOVED FROM PRESS CONFERENCE.

US Senator arrested for trying to ask Donald Trump's spokeswoman a question. Very Nazi Germany vibes.

Grocery and Gas prices went up again today because Presidential Pedophiles are bad for inflation. Sad!! 😢 🛒 ⛽️ 🌮 💩

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Palestinian/French MEP Rima Hassan - one of the crew of the Madleen who was kidnapped & detained by Israel - is given a warm welcome at Place de la République. Beautiful scenes. ❤️✊🏽🇵🇸

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Who did this the immigrants? No it was the Far Right scum as usual.

What a shit hole 👇🏼👇🏼🥴 I dunno about you but even if I was busting for a pee I wouldn’t go in there and get contaminated by the far right wing, racist scum.. I’d do what any self-respecting person would do and take a slash against it 🤷🏼‍♂️

In Nazi occupied WW2 Europe families used to hide in attics, cellars, wardrobes etc to avoid the Nazi thugs.. Now in modern day Northern Ireland Families hid in attics and wardrobes during violent disorder to avoid right wing thugs in Ballymena, the Chief Constable has said❗️🤦🏼‍♂️ #FarageRiots Take 2

Around 300 people showed for an anti-ICE rally in Tucson, outside a clandestine ICE office in Tucson.

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Fascism is here, MAGA has invaded the United States.

Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon's family is worth $3.2 billion. The administration is trying to give her a huge tax cut, paid for by cuts to Medicaid and food assistance -- including for kids. I asked her to explain why she needs the money. She refused.

The IPP scandal was described as “a stain on our justice system” by the last Justice Secretary “an egregious miscarriage of justice & psychological torture” by UN rapporteur for torture & likely breaches Article 3 of the HRA & it’s happening RIGHT NOW thecriminaljusticeblog.com/2025/05/28/c...

Tories left our prison system days away from collapse after only adding an additional 500 places on 14 years! Labour are adding 14,000 extra prison places by 2031 with four new prisons. #Labour #KeirStarmer

Speaking as a former sub, for the sake of clarity, it's possible to make a case for the Oxford comma. However isn't it time to flush the Clacton colon?

I miss Obama 💙

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Donald Trump hates being called a chicken. Let's upset him.
