SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

PADILLA: “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.”

"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-civ...

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Warren to Bessent: "Why is the national debt so very important that you're trying to kick 16 million off their health insurance, but increasing the national debt doesn't seem to matter if you're cutting taxes for billionaires? ... you don't want to answer the question."

It's somehow ALWAYS the job of the protesters to de-escalate as if we're the ones with the tear gas, rubber bullets, tanks, and a proven record of murder. Cops however are ungovernable rabid dogs, who collect salaries from us but over whom we have absolutely no control. Good deal huh?

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

They’re trying to silence us with fear and force. But “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” On 6/14, we show them what resistance looks like. Peaceful, unshakable, and everywhere!

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

This man belongs in a strait jacket. The amount of completely deranged & delusional nonsense he spews every hour is unreal. This is quite insane even for him. Yet, we have to listen to endless stories about BIDEN? What a lunatic. I hope the Canadian PM publicly calls him out for how insane he is.

As Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill moves to the Senate, we must make it clear: There is nothing “beautiful” about giving huge tax breaks to billionaires while cutting health care, nutrition and education for working families. It is grossly immoral and, together, we must defeat it.

If Republicans were proud of their bill, they'd debate it in the light of day. Instead, they're trying to move it under the cover of night like the cult of cowards that they are. They know that ripping away healthcare and food assistance from millions is harmful and unpopular.

Rubio petulantly said he won't tell "some judge" whether Trump requested Abrego Garcia's return, as SCOTUS mandated. But Trump himself has squarely admitted that he hasn't. And the judge presiding over the case is going to allow a searching inquiry into Trumpers' contumacious course of conduct.
