California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Senator Padilla is right. If they can do this to a sitting U.S. Senator, they can do it to anyone. @padilla.senate.gov

Netanyahu needs to be in the Hague. What an asshole. A war criminal. No better than Putin.

1000% this.

I think all they’ve really managed to do this week is encourage more people to turn out for the No Kings protests. Being underwater on every issue before July is pretty impressive.

Wait... he interrupted a press conference by, um, asking questions?

The Senate needs to have Noem on a figurative spit right now

Illinois has gotten big things done to protect our people, from increasing the number of state police to banning assault weapons. There's more to be done — it's time for Congressional Republicans to stop with the stunts and start working with us on solutions.

Fuck you, @cbsnews.com. In your report about Sen. Padilla’s arrest you wrote “… placed him on the ground …” Placed? Get real, you fascist enablers www.cbsnews.com/news/alex-pa...

The strong-arm tactics used against my colleague and friend, Senator Alex Padilla, in response to his peaceful conduct should convince all of us that the Administration’s goal is about more than deporting dangerous immigrants. They are determined to suppress even peaceful dissent.

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

Happening now in Chicago at Michigan & Ida B Wells, protesters gather to oppose ICE’s operations. Twice this week, protesters have forced Chicago’s immigration court to close early, as ICE has moved to aggressively arrest people attending their court mandated hearings.

Yes

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.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

The Khan, with a wave of his mighty hand, swats aside fools and dullards like flies rising from dung

Who will go with me? I will proclaim my name about the field. I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho! A foe to tyrants, and my country’s friend.

We have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight. To ASK QUESTIONS. And for our questions to be met with handcuffs is UNACCEPTABLE.

@sykescharlie.bsky.social is correct. It’s time to do the right thing, don’t ask about polls. The revolutionaries in Boston went up against the BRITISH EMPIRE They didn’t ask about the odds, they just knew it was right.

I love this guy

It’s time for the retired generals to get the fuck off the sidelines and SPEAK THE FUCK UP. General Milley? We’re waiting. #FreeCalifornia

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

No. Serena Joy was intelligent in addition to simply being evil.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., speaks out after Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed during a DHS press conference. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said law enforcement “acted appropriately.”

Guess they need to look as if people want to be at TACO’s Soviet military parade/mandatory birthday party.

"How could you say that you did not know who he was?" L.A. Mayor Karen Bass speaks out on the forced removal of California Sen. Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference. DHS claimed the senator "interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself."

Congrats, Richard! tvline.com/casting-news...
