I posted earlier, but I am so proud of my Beaverton/Washington County neighbors. You all came out, made your voices heard, and said loudly that there are #nokings in this country! Special shoutout to Commissioner Fai for calling out an agitator in the crowd. Called him out and kept it moving!

There isn't one congressional district where cutting Medicaid has more than 15% support. But Trump’s Tax Scam would gut Medicaid for billionaire tax giveaways.

This isn't surprising. America's military are professionals who operate under strict rules of behavior and engagement. The perception of being used is bound to cause resentment. Read: "Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’:" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.

Senator Padilla has the right and responsibility to advocate for his constituents and hold the Trump administration accountable for their abuses of military power. Violently handcuffing him and dragging him out of a press conference is outrageous.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

The right to peacefully protest is fundamental. It is in the Constitution. No president can nullify it—because in the United States of America, we have no kings. Join @indivisible.org and more this weekend to make your voice heard: www.nokings.org
