This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

This is an elected Senator of the United States, who has violated no laws.

Horrific. This is a US Senator in his homestate, manhandled forced to the ground and handcuffed because a member of the Trump administration is too scared to answer real questions.

Sobering and stark reminder of why the United States should never allow any one individual* or company to become a linchpin of our national security. *Especially when that someone is a drug-addled narcissist who supports Nazis and White Nationalists abroad www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Clarion call for the Republic. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

The US now has no vaccine advisory committee, no CDC director, and an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

This is from April but don't forget what Angelenos — and all of us — are protesting: secret police from DHS, who refuse to identify themselves, are lying to teachers in order to seize and interrogate *first grade children* at school. We're protesting against a modern day gestepo.

This is LA. These are the people. It's a cool city. It's Trump that sent thousands of soldiers with assault rifles and weapons of war to our communities. GTFO

In other words: this is totally fucking illegal.

The amount of illegal drugs Elon Musk was carrying and using while working for Donald Trump would get most people thrown in jail for years. #MAGA claims it wants to end special treatment — but that's bullshit. There will be no consequences. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Pam Bondi just said it's fine for Qatar to bribe Donald Trump w/ a $400 million plane. Who did Pam Bondi work for? Qatar! You know, the chief benefactor & protector of Hamas. That's right: Paid foreign lobbyist Pam Bondi raked in $100K *per month* working for Qatar. But hey, THE HILLARY EMAILS!

Call it what it is: a $400 million bribe.

This banter slash holy war is the best thing on the internet today.

Peace be with you all. Quite a scene in Rome.
