Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Adam Schiff is on the Senator floor right now talking about the "vandals and miscreants" committing "vile acts" in L.A. that he argues should be subdued only by local police rather than the military. Good lead up, senator. You're truly one of the worst elected Dems.

Donald Trump is threatening people who turn up to protest his June 14th birthday party military parade. Turn up, cripple the thing, end Donald Trump's evil regime.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

In no universe did Senator Alex Padilla “lunge” at anyone. This administration is full of pathological liars.

We need to lean on each other right now, but don’t forget who warned us. Who fought this from the start. Who tried to keep us out of this authoritarian shitshow. Remember this when it’s time to rebuild.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

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.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference? 🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed. This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!

Also, the Mellon tax cuts came in the 1920s -- when Andrew Mellon was Secretary of the Treasury under three GOP presidents -- and hey, Tim, how did the economy turn out then?

Sherrill: "You're blowing money on poorly conceived operations and vanity projects...Retrofitting the Qatari jet to serve as Air Force One costs about $400 million. The parade in D.C. will cost $40 million. Your campaign in Yemen cost about a $1 billion. Operations in LA will cost tens of millions."

To the coward, “tomorrow” is ALWAYS a better day to fight than today. Just ask Chuck Schumer. Yea. I said it. Let’s see if “tomorrow” ever actually shows up.

The Steve Miller band circa 1968. That's Steve in the yellow shirt and Boz Scaggs in the black shirt up front. Both have Plano/Dallas origins and met at St. Mark's School in Dallas, where Miller taught Scaggs how to play the guitar when they were 12 years old.

Funny how he said he couldn’t call in the National Guard then but had no problem deploying them to LA (over Gov. Newsome’ objection).

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
