Every Team Trump flip-flop exposes, over and over, the reckless stupidity of swinging a wrecking ball at the federal government with no idea of what's being wrecked. Now, as @brianstelter.bsky.social reports below, VOA is like, what? We need Farsi speakers? www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-endl...

We cannot move on from what happened yesterday. A Senator being roughed up and handcuffed for trying to ask a question is what you see in a DICTATORSHIP. Our country is at a crossroads and we need EVERY American to stand up to defend freedom, democracy and our Constitution.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
