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."

Sen. Murphy: "Raising your voice is not a crime in this country. Protesting your government does not, can not, and should not result in you being delivered to the ground by law enforcement and handcuffed."

Sherrill: "You're blowing money on poorly conceived operations and vanity projects...Retrofitting the Qatari jet to serve as Air Force One costs about $400 million. The parade in D.C. will cost $40 million. Your campaign in Yemen cost about a $1 billion. Operations in LA will cost tens of millions."

Agreements with the United States are no longer worth the paper they’re written on. The US can’t be trusted to keep their word across different administrations, or within. This is not a problem that can be fixed by signing a new agreement. This is our new reality, and we have to face it directly.

We need to lean on each other right now, but don’t forget who warned us. Who fought this from the start. Who tried to keep us out of this authoritarian shitshow. Remember this when it’s time to rebuild.

So randomly kidnapping children & adults from places of work, education and immigration appointments, to then disappear them without due process by dudes with wack $15 hair cuts…if this does not meet your definition of fascism, then your definition of fascism is you’re a moron.

Four dead in Ohio. That's what happens when the National Guard is deployed against its own citizens. May the all too short lives of Jeffrey Miller, Allison Krause, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder not be in vain.

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.

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.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely political reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
