So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

I visited a food bank in Seattle today to hear from people who rely on SNAP & Medicaid. I’ll be sharing their stories everywhere I can—but let me just say it’s just WRONG that Republicans want to cut health care & nutrition to give tax breaks to billionaires who don’t need them. Keep speaking out.

I’m not sure USA has ever faced such a moment. Wholly unprepared to deal with calamity on the world stage. We have a Putin ass-kisser at Sec of State, a drunk at Pentagon and a dipshit asshole sitting in the Oval Office Adderall tweeting. He pulled out of Iran deal, lethal moron.

I get that these guys have no shame, but that doesn’t mean we should give them a pass for it. Shame on Johnson and shame on the Republican Party that won’t call this out even though they know it’s wrong.

MSNBC airing interview with U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla about attack this afternoon at Noem press conference. He’s a class act. We’re fortunate to have people like him serving in the U.S. Senate. The U.S. Senate just adjourned until 4pm Monday, 6/16.

The video of Senator Padilla being aggressively removed is shocking. He was asking a question of Secretary Noem at a PUBLIC press conference in a federal office building and he was forcibly removed from the room, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed. 1/2

Let's be clear. When Kristi Noem describes on Fox News that a man "started shouting" and "charged the podium" during her press conference, she probably didn't see a US Senator. She saw a man with brown skin challenging her authority and probably did feel threatened. And, that is exactly the problem.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

U.S. Sen Alex Padilla (D-CA) was forcibly removed from a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. As a U.S. Senator, Padilla has a constitutional duty to oversee the operations of the executive branch in his state. Noem and DHS has no legal authority to interfere.

The federal government has absolutely no business regulating the reproductive healthcare decisions of American servicewomen. We trust our servicewomen to protect and serve our country — we should trust them to make decisions about their own bodies.
