Assaulting a senator - or ANYONE - for asking a question is an outrageous abuse of power. The labor movement fundamentally believes in the right to stand up for justice and defend the rights of workers. This escalation and persecution of those who peacefully speak out is dangerous and must stop.

This is outrageous & absolutely unacceptable. Sen. Padilla was forcefully removed & handcuffed for trying to ask a question at a press conference in the state he represents. There must be an immediate investigation.

Just called my Senator, Thom Tillis. (No, I didn’t vote for him,) Left a message not just about Senator Padilla but about what Noem said before she had him arrested. She said the Feds are in L.A. to “liberate” the city. As in free it from oppression. As in take over LA.

I don't have productive words for the disgust I felt watching Sen. Padilla getting assaulted by that awful woman's pet gorillas. I just don't.

Padilla: From the moment I entered the building, I'm being escorted by a member of the National Guard and an FBI agent. I asked, well, since we're waiting, can we go listen in to the press conference? They escort me over to the press conference. They opened the door for me.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

“Kristi Noem should resign for what has happened under her watch,” Rep. Swalwell said in an interview. “No one asked for this. We were promised violent criminals would be deported. Instead,...[it's] the second member of Congress in 45 days who’s been arrested." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This disgusting email from an Oregon SWAT sergeant takes gleeful delight in fatal shootings & brags about weapons & violence. OSP fought for months to keep from disclosing the most shocking parts of the message because they don't want Oregonians to know how they talk about us in private. [1/3]

The GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill" takes money from people who can't afford food and health care and gives it to those who can afford first class travel and second homes. And this analysis excludes impacts on energy costs, which will also go up and are highly regressive. See repeatproject.org/reports 🔌💡

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

A United States senator was physically removed from a DHS press conference for having the audacity to do his job and question this administration on behalf of his constituents. They want us to be afraid and silent. We won't give in.

FYI: Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship and Border Safety. "Oversight of the immigration functions of the Department of Homeland Security" is literally the definition of his jurisdiction.
