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.

They had no right to impede the U.S. Senator. I’m guessing these clowns violated state law with regard to assault. Anyone that laid hand on the Senator should be brought to justice. And the faces of these thugs should be known. #ImpeachNoem

Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

turns out the GOP budget bill adds so much to deficits that it will automatically trigger cuts to Medicare (not just Medicaid). Older voters unlikely to be happy about this when word gets out democrats-budget.house.gov/news/press-r...

A lot of folks wonder why Josh Hawley is fighting for Medicaid. Here’s why: Missouri Republicans would not pass Medicaid expansion so we put it in the ballot. It won. Now, Missouri has a constitutional mandate to fund Medicaid. The federal cuts will likely cause the MO GOP to raise MO taxes.
