@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: “Republican senators should be very careful on this right now. If they do not come out and defend Senator Padilla’s right to ask questions of this administration of his colleagues, they are setting an extraordinarily dangerous precedent"

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.

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

What Noem said is crucially important: “‘We are not going away. We are staying here to LIBERATE THIS CITY from the socialists….’ The Trump administration is vowing to get rid of the democratically elected government of California by using military force. THAT THREAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A COUP.”

I am very proud of Gov. Newsom. He is out front calling out the real horror happening on the street. Trumps version of America is the worst imaginable and we as Americans will NOT tolerate it.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Today, CA Senator Alex Padilla exercised his First Amendment right to question DHS Sec. Noem & was viciously manhandled, thrown to the ground, & handcuffed. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. On June 14, Americans must protest the violent, unconstitutional actions of the Trump regime. #nokings

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

This is a post from Monday from Senator Bill Cassidy (R). Aged like milk on a summer day in Tucson. As I said then, he has no control over RFK Jr. That’s been proven once again. The people RFK Jr. has appointed to ACIP so far, with one exception, know nothing about vaccines except suspicion.
