The Secretary of Homeland Security just said the feds are there to remove democratically elected officials in California and then had a Senator detained. Why is that not in every headline? It's what happened.

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

Just a note… It’s quite common for serial killers to have tortured and killed animals… it’s one of the most common markers of a serial psychopathic murderer. Kristi Noem brags about murdering animals. Now she’s in a position to carry out a larger agenda. Torturing and murdering people.

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

Just to get this right: Kristi Noem is saying that they are taking control from the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles, but the protesters who don’t want that to happen are the insurrectionists.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

My colleagues and I represented a distinguished group of retired military leaders on a brief explaining why domestic deployments of the military should happen only in the rarest of circumstances and in strict accordance with the law. Please read and share what they said.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

I can't think of a better metaphor of the violent manhandling of democracy by the current regime than its decision to remove BY FORCE a United States senator from press briefing about matters important to the state he represents. Jesus Christ.

So, what's the deal with all that "art of the deal" stuff? No 90 deals in 90 days. In fact, no real deals at all so far. No Ukraine deal. No Gaza deal. No Iran deal. My latest...on Israel, Iran and Trump's "role" in all this. www.thedailybeast.com/how-iran-str...

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

We will, Senator. See you all at NO KINGS this Saturday!

California senator @senalexpadilla physically dragged off for trying to ask Kristi Noem a question…

What the frick is wrong with 38% of us?

ICE TRIED TO ROLL OUT IN Manhattan-New Yorkers said "NAH" AND SENT THEM BACK INSIDE!!

There are only 60 re-posts, go to the original post and fix that.

If Mike Johnson is your Rep. Tell him that you know he is lying.

ICE Statement is a lie: In the video they shared claiming he didn't identify himself, even the closed captions on the video show that Sen. Alex Padilla identifies himself.

Exactly this.

“What she is saying is that Americans have lost the right to dissent from MAGA, and states that do are a burden on the nation.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/kristi-noe...

A message to the puppy killler: See you in The Hague. They won’t let you have a hair dryer or make-up, Barbie. It’s going to be very unpleasant for you. This situation is temporary. The felon won’t be in power forever. He is obviously not well. You will answer for what you’re doing.

Rand Paul's neighbor got prison time and a $580,000 fine for assaulting a senator!!

58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide. This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Worth remembering.

It is true. Democrats would not hesitate to defend Republicans... This guy is third in line for the Presidency... he LIED and defended Kristi Noem's thugs ASSAULT ON SENATOR PADILLA. Call him... let him know that you know he is lying.

The president deployed the military to create a crisis, as his jackbooted thugs rough up a U.S. senator for doing his job. Luna, from Florida's Fascist arm of the Republican Party, points her finger at China. Obama, the deporter in chief, used lawful Constitutional means and respected governors.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. At this point, they could find Trump raping a bound woman, watching child pornography and shooting Mexican immigrants in the Oval Office lit with classified documents addressed to Putin, and Trump supporters would say, ‘you’re taking that out of context.’

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.
