Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

The Los Angeles Dodgers said they denied federal immigration officials access to the area around the team’s stadium on Thursday morning. The news comes hours after The Athletic reported the team’s plans to announce assistance to immigrants impacted by recent militarized raids.

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Way to go Dodgers and protesters!

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right. If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone. Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up. @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social‬

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

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.

Completely despicable actions by DHS, having Sen Alex Padilla being forcibly taken down. Why is @SecNoem afraid of answering questions? Even more Americans will now righteously exercise the right to protest. More will righteously monitor ICE. WE. WILL. NOT. BE. INTIMIDATED.

Dear Donald Trump, I'm sorry I can't come to your birthday party. It's too expensive. It's another misuse of our military. AND, I'll be at a rally to peacefully protest what an unbelievable, corrupt fuck you are.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

The CBO estimates that Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which is stuffed with tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, will explode the deficit by $2.4T and kick 10.9M people off their health insurance. This has always been the GOP strategy: socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

Another damning confirmation of how harmful Republicans' Big Ugly Bill would be. 10.9 million more people would lose life-saving healthcare just to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. The cruelty is the point and the Senate must reject this shameful bill. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Republicans advanced their budget at 11pm on Sunday and they'll vote again on Wednesday at 1am. They know their bill is deeply unpopular and will rip away healthcare & food from millions of people. We'll keep fighting back because this shameful bill is not an inevitability.
