Thousands for an impromptu rally in SLC. Saturday is going to be big

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

This is insane. I’m trying to think what the reaction would have been if Mayorkas, DHS Secretary under Biden, had got his security folks to manhandle and shove Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz in this way.

I have long argued that dems should make miller the face of the admin, give him all the credit, make him the focus. Miller is fundamentally unlikable and trump would hate him getting focus.

SCOTUS is letting DOGE access millions of Americans' sensitive data, including Social Security numbers, medical histories and banking information. Here’s what you need to know: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Incredible. What is wrong with these people?

Wow. Breyer cranks out 36 page opinion enjoining the feds from deploy of the National Guard in California. Stayed briefly to permit appeal. Next hearing set for 6/20.

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

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Israel Launching a Strike on Iran "Trump Owns These Conflicts"

BREAKING: A federal judge BLOCKS Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles. He briefly pauses the ruling from taking effect until tomorrow at noon. DEVELOPING story, @AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-troo...

Trump Tax Bill Would Help the Richest, Hurt the Poorest, CBO Says - apple.news/ABlutvlWFSWe...

This is what happens in dictatorships, not democracies: the manhandling and handcuffing of a member of Congress engaged in legitimate Congressional business. This is not a presidency, it’s a regime. No regimes in America. No dictatorships in America. #NoKings in America. Just say NO. #June14

Statement from Rubio now indicating Israel is on its own and Iran can avoid US intervention.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking President Donald Trump’s unprecedented seizure of California’s National Guard, calling the move illegal and a “dangerous precedent. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the [US] Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is an assault on a United States Senator by a reckless, lawless Administration with no respect for the Constitution. We will not be silent. We will not be intimidated. We stand with Senator Padilla.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer grants temporary restraining order blocking Trump from deploying National Guard to Los Angeles and returns control of the Guard to Gov Gavin Newsom

We all know what we saw. Our friend, Senator Alex Padilla exercising his duty to this country while the Trump administration forced him to the ground, and put him in handcuffs. There’s no sugarcoating it—these are dangerous times and we WILL hold the admin accountable. @schatz.bsky.social

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.

FIRST ON MSNBC: "I introduced myself and said I had a question. Look, they said I wasn't wearing my pin — my polo says 'United States Senate.'" Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., speaks about forcible removal from Department of Homeland Security press conference.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

No. We know everything we need to know.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure. The order is stayed until noon Friday. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Rubio: “We are not involved”

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Put this on a billboard.

This is unacceptable in a democracy. @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others. I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others. A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

BREAKING: Democrat Mallory McMorrow just delivered the perfect explanation of how Trump's attack on Alex Padilla hurts all of us. Make sure every American sees this.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

This dude is good. I don’t know a thing about him but he is good.

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident: "I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

After Sen Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed at a DHS press conference, the message is clear: dissent is being silenced. Now more than ever, the people must RISE UP against authoritarian overreach and political intimidation. This isn’t about one senator. It’s about all of us. 1/2

The orange felon says he will phase out FEMA this year as well as cutting federal aid from states needed to respond to natural disasters. He wants people poor, homeless, sick, suffering, jobless, fully obedient to him or dead. He’s not a president, he’s a blood thirsty dictator.

If they can do this to a Senator, they'll do it to anyone else.

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.

Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.
