The president’s executive order deploying troops to Los Angeles poses long-term constitutional risks. Learn more by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter:

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

He threatened that is okay for cars to plow into protesters.. did we hit a nerve!!! And they will shoot you dead! Stop threatening Everyone is still showing up for a peaceful protest with millions. He can go fuck himself

Get real and get over it.

Unsung hero of WWII

ICYMI — “LIE!!” Dems heckled Speaker Johnson as he tried to put all the blame on Senator Padilla

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

It’s not a game, dipshit.

Holy shit, @npr.org, assaulting and handcuffing a US senator does not demonstrate the “increasing tensions” around immigration policy, it demonstrates the increasing authoritarianism of this administration—which also stated its intention to “liberate” LA from its duly elected officials.

A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

California Senator Alex Padilla went to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference and was forcibly removed, thrown on the ground, and handcuffed.

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.

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.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov 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.

Tackling and detaining a US Senator is an outrageous and violent abuse of power. It is unacceptable in the United States of America. This administration's unlawful and unconstitutional behavior is out of control. www.huffpost.com/entry/sen-al...

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

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

...and another!

Good thing we had real estate investor Steve Witkoff negotiating deals with Russia and Iran.

Newsom is doing a great job! ✊✊✊

Oversight chair Comer tells Representative Maxwell Frost to ‘shut up’ while Marge calls him an ‘antifa member.’ There is no low Republicans won’t go.

Sen. Schiff: "Alex Padilla, on the ground, face to the ground, and in handcuffs — if you were looking for an image of our democracy in handcuffs, look no further."

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

Absolutely insane, not vetted, unqualified, and 100% biased against evidence based medicine

Every Republican Senator except for Mitch McConnell voted to confirm this freak, including 4 physicians. (In case it’s not clear from how unhinged he sounds, literally everything he is saying is a lie, down to the numbers of vaccines that he has made up.) RFK Jr.’s children are all fully vaccinated.
