I was literally taught my whole life that if someone in plain clothes and a mask tries to detain you and refuses to identify themselves, you call 911 and you’re absolutely within your rights to not comply for safety reasons. What’s happening is kidnapping. Full stop.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

A president who pardons 1500 people who have demonstrated political violence is sending a clear message to his supporters. He's telling them it's ok to attack anyone who disagrees with him.

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.”

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

If you silence free speech and trample the Constitution, you’re the lawless one. “Just obeying orders” is not a defense.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

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.

"If Trump is successful in LA, he will export his tactics everywhere. Trump doesn't only want to be authoritarian in the eyes of Angelinos. Autocrats aren’t in the business of imposing limits on their own power. He wants to be an autocrat everywhere. LA is where he’ll start but not where he’ll end."

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.
