Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

These people are completely ill equipped to meet the moment and have entirely failed to take a single concrete action to prevent any of the things they’ll try and fundraise on opposing.

The use of the word “disrespectful” in reference to Senator Padilla not only stinks of thinly veiled racism, it also shows an incredible misunderstanding of the role of public service. Members of government are not royals. They are to be questioned and challenged, not force us to our knees.

‼️ 🚨🔔 WOW. Martin Kulldorff, who RFK Jr picked to be on ACIP, has been making $$$$ testifying against the HPV vaccine (he lost the case in NC). This is a HUGE conflict of interest. ACIP rules BAN being “a paid litigation consultant or expert witness in litigation involving a vaccine manufacturer.”

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

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.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Every one of those DHS goons, from Noem on down, should be investigated for malicious arrest and abuse of power. The Trump administration is going down the list of abuses that the Founders laid out in the Declaration of Independence one by one. Soon, they'll be quartering troops in private homes.

Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

The sham indictment of @replamonica.bsky.social is a blatant effort by an incompetent U.S. Atty in NJ to weaponize her office to go after Trump’s political opponents. This is yet another authoritarian attempt to intimidate political opponents. We won't be intimidated. We stand with LaMonica.

Susan Collins, who represents maybe the most pro-science, pro-vax state in the US, reiterates her support for RFK Jr even after he has taken grave and deadly steps to implement his crank, anti-science agenda. Collins foes with big megaphones should be blasting this out on the daily. #MEpolitics

One not-so-secret aspect of the attempt to occupy Los Angeles and other "blue" American cities? Not enough manpower to do the job. Trump and Miller are counting on your fear and obedience to do the work for them. Troops and total police officers? Not nearly enough. So speak out and march peacefully.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Trump and those around him have sought from day one a pretext for unleashing military force against the American people. Today's actions are bad. But things will only get worse from here. The best possible response to it is collective action, stand up to force and document and share everything.
