ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

The Minnesota assassin supported Donald Trump and had a kill list consisting entirely of Democrats and reproductive rights advocates. But it's unclear what his political motivations might be.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Our collective refusal to grapple with the right wing origin of so much political violence — especially the embrace of vehicular manslaughter — has led to copycats like this guy in Virginia.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot stop him from using the military against American civilians, I'll have no choice but to support all of his future terms and inform on my neighbors when they criticize him.

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

Senator Padilla spoke moments AFTER Kristi Noem outrageously stated she intended to “liberate” the City of Los Angeles from its democratically-elected mayor and governor. He had every right to confront her about her incendiary, hateful, and deeply stupid statement.

Three of the Democratic Senators accounts who voted to confirm Kristi Noem are below; none call for her impeachment, all issue word salad about demanding answers or whatever. They look like they have to say something but don't want to. It's sad and demobilizing to have such losers in our caucus.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.
