Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

WTAF? I just turned on the TV for the first time today and the puppy killing witch has had my senator dragged out of a presser in handcuffs for asking a question?! What is happening?!!!

ICE in CA with Texas plates 🤔

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

I see that there's a long night ahead of "I didn't read the article" takes, so I'll just go back to exploring Patch 8 of Baldur's Gate.

Ro Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "What we need is for our local law enforcement, the state police, to address it. And that's what the people want. That's why we have federalism. It's not like people in LA or California are saying 'please bring in the Marines.' I believe we listen to people."

I’ll tell you what. If you voted for Trump, and now it’s coming back to bite you, I don’t want to hear about how sad you are. I want to know what you’re gonna do about it. Start there.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

The United States should not be in the business of funding torture. CECOT is a mega-prison with a well-documented record of human rights abuses. Yet the Trump Admin made a deal to send millions of taxpayer dollars to fund it. That is unacceptable. www.notus.org/immigration/...

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks out on the forcible removal of Senator Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference. "I thought it was a disgrace."

A message to the puppy killler: See you in The Hague. They won’t let you have a hair dryer or make-up, Barbie. It’s going to be very unpleasant for you. This situation is temporary. The felon won’t be in power forever. He is obviously not well. You will answer for what you’re doing.

Fuck the puppy killer and the curling iron she rode in on

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

Is Mike Johnson going to censure John May for distributing child porn while in Congress, or is he too busy checking his kid's jerk off library? Tick tock, Mike. Republicans are resigning and getting arrested. Soon you will lose the gavel and nobody will give 2 shits about you again.

Donald Trump claims to be the world's peacemaker, yet Ukraine faces record attacks and Gaza's ceasefire crumbles. Bold promises clash with brutal reality. Lasting peace demands more than quick deals; it requires grit and patience. #3E

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.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed in handcuffs from a press conference in Los Angeles Thursday after attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem questions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In no universe did Senator Alex Padilla “lunge” at anyone. This administration is full of pathological liars.

ON JUNE 11, 2025 FORT BRAGG SHAMED ITSELF IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE FREE WORLD!!!! THEY SHIT ON THE GRAVES OF OUR WW2 WARRIOR'S BY EMBRACING THE FIRST AMERICAN DICTATOR!!! THEY LOST RESPECT AND SHAMED THEMSELVES. EVERY GENERAL AND PAST PRESIDENT WHO STAYS SILENT IS 100% RESPONSIBLE.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

Well-framed.

This is a shocking video. I've texted @padilla.senate.gov to let him know that we support him and will speak out against this injustice. There is no excuse for this.

No notes.

If a news outlet starts publishing facts like these, I'll subscribe immediately. Rolling Stone is pretty close, that's why they are getting my money. Stop obeying in advance and paying settlements to please the fat fuck. Print the truth and the audience will come!

I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!

They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you. They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

BREAKING A federal judge has ordered President Trump to revert control of the National Guard back to California and Governor Newsom. Judge Breyer said Trump’s order was illegal.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

Sometimes it's fun to play with trolls.

You know who didn't identify themselves? The thugs who assaulted Senator Padilla.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is so dumb she thought LBJ was the Spanish translation for blowjob.

far be it for me to claim to have improved on fine art but i did my best

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!
