Netanyahu has so little respect for Trump that he went ahead and killed Ali Shamkhani...the top Iranian official who was the lead negotiator on nuclear program talks with Trump's team. Donald Trump is, quite simply, a weak President. www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

While Ukraine mourns its people and cities, the US toasts the one that erased them. Russia doesn’t dream of the future — it kills it. There is no balance between fire and what it burns. You didn’t make a gesture. You made a choice.

the Padilla thing is bad but do not overlook the incredibly dangerous language Noem is using here. You cannot “liberate” a state or city from its own leadership without utterly destroying democracy.

Sen. Padilla, standing yards away: “I’m Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary…” DHS: “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.”

My question for all the Dem's expressing outrage at the treatment of Padilla is, "Yes, and...?" Responding to fascism with the floor speeches and press releases that barely make a dent in a functioning democracy is criminal fecklessness and dereliction of duty.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

I dunno, but maybe Democratic members of Congress shouldn't go the White House picnic tonight and pretend everything's fine and dandy, unless and until Sen. Padilla gets a phone call apologizing for what happened from Donald Trump?
