If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

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.”

The gaslighting here is off the charts. With a quiet, moderated voice, measured cadence, and downcast eyes, Johnson will gladly facilitate the disintegration of our government.

A Florida sheriff warned protesters in a press conference on Thursday that "we will kill you, graveyard dead" if they throw weapons or point a gun at officers. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey made the remark at an event with local law enforcement that declared Florida as "The Anti-Riot State."

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.

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

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.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

A U.S. Senator was forcibly removed, handcuffed, and detained for asking questions…at a government press conference. This is authoritarianism – unacceptable in a real democracy. Every member of Congress should be condemning the Trump Regime’s alarming overreach.

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.

Imagine asking to be heard and getting hit. Force won’t fix what people are protesting and you can’t ‘protect democracy’ by attacking it. We’re standing shoulder to shoulder with L.A., the Latino/x community, and everyone fighting for real justice and liberation — for everyone.

If & when what happens in LA comes to NY, Adams or Cuomo almost certainly will not stand up to Trump. (Hell, they’d roll out the red carpet.) Hochul miiiiiight, maybe. That’s how we should be thinking about every state & local election - will this person have the courage to stand up for us?

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
