Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

This is insane

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

My profound gratitude for law enforcement officers who spent countless hours keeping safe our members and bringing the man who attacked, wounded, and assassinated our colleagues into custody. Sending love to my Senate and House colleagues who will emerge from an active threat and begin to grieve.

When does the “great” part start?

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

DOJ adventures in proofreading. This court filing was signed by the Acting U.S. Attorney, Criminal Division Chief, and Deputy Criminal Division Chief of the district behind the prosecution of Judge Hannah Dugan. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

How is this law and order?

When he put his hand on his shoulder 😭

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump cites false claims about noncitizen voting to justify expansion of deportation efforts to other Democratic controlled cities. I will have this and more in my newsletter to premium members tomorrow. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

I am pretty sure the people have spoken. This isn't what we want. And the whole point of this weekend? A message to our current president: No Kings. You work for us, not the other way around.

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

Encouraging to see so many turn out for the No Kings protests. Now we need to carry that enthusiasm to the ballot box. That’s how we take our country back.

Ahhh New Haven

Donald Trump needs to address the nation right now and condemn the Minnesota shootings and all forms of political violence. It’s the bare minimum we should expect from any president.

This has got to stop.

The Trump admin just figured out why Voice of America, who they want to eliminate, has served us well for many decades.

@indianafever.bsky.social Hi Indiana Fever! Hoping you will put your regular posts here on Bluesky. I have left the other commonly used social media site, and would love updates on this platform. Thank you, and Go Fever!

This.

I would say he follows her around like a puppy dog but so far he has survived.

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.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

BREAKING: California Sen. Alex Padilla was detained and handcuffed during an altercation at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference.

Kristi Noem, you need to resign.

To make permanent Elon Musk's damage to the federal government, House Republicans just passed Trump’s Make America Unsafe Again package to revoke Congressionally authorized funding for the State Dept & USAID. 🧵Here are the programs that protect Americans they voted to cut:

Horrifying. We are here.

Transportation Sec Sean Duffy today. At least Zelensky wore socks.

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.

Damn right!! 👊

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

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

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

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.
