Just your average commander-in-chief pop-up shop.

Your Dad, waiting for you all to get in the damn car. #FathersDay

100% police instigated.

We cannot move on from what happened yesterday. A Senator being roughed up and handcuffed for trying to ask a question is what you see in a DICTATORSHIP. Our country is at a crossroads and we need EVERY American to stand up to defend freedom, democracy and our Constitution.

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

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.”

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump illegally commandeered the California National Guard. Control must now be returned to Governor Newsom by tomorrow at Noon. There are no Kings in the United States of America.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Perfection.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. This manhandling removal & handcuffing of a US Senator at a public event is absolutely revolting & repugnant to American values. It’s a basic violation of civil rights.

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.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

I was so proud to stand with Gavin Newsom on a multitude of efforts last fall. And I’m even prouder to see his national leadership on behalf of all of us now. Thank you, Governor Newsom!

"Mobilizing military forces into cities is going to be seen as an overreach, and it's going to be now met with peaceful, boisterous moms, dads, grandmas. kids and their dogs and families showing up, saying, 'we're not going to put up with this authoritarianism..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Still willing to die on this hill, @TheHill.com?

I agree 💯.

🤬

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

🤣🤣

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

Walgreens refused this 22 year old, who was having an attack. He died in his car in Walgreens parking lot.😭😭

The spurs don't fall far from the bones.
