The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

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.

What happened to Senator Alex Padilla earlier today was outrageous. He identified himself. He asked a question—peacefully, respectfully, and on behalf of the people he represents. For that, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents.

The New York Times making it sound as if the United States is just about to join a super-prestigious club, when it's really slipping (slipped?) into the company of countries ruled by extrajudicial despots.

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

When they inevitably defend the way Senator Padilla was treated, keep in mind they’ll defend literally anything.

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

The Dems really, really, really need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

If the Secretary of Homeland Security shows up in your state to say she’s “liberating” a city from the elected government, you’re goddamn right the state’s US Senator should barge in to ask some questions.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

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..."

🧵 We need to make this clear: Americans are not opposed to immigration enforcement — we are opposed to UNCONSTITUTIONAL ENFORCEMENT that violates due process and the rule of law.

A joke right? While Russia bombs Ukrainian cities, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio congratulates Russians on "Russia Day" and says the U.S. remains committed to a "bright future" for the Russian people — and seeks "mutually beneficial relations" with the Kremlin.

Oh Look! 👀 Trump has successfully distracted us all from Elon's accusations about the Epstein files. And his failed tariffs. And his failing big bill. And his failing negotiations to end war in Ukraine. And his failing to hire competent people… Smoke & mirrors. Don’t. Ever. Get. Distracted. 😎✨
