NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

WATCH: Sen. Padilla pushed to the ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie

BREAKING: California Sen. Alex Padilla was detained and handcuffed during an altercation at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference.

Lauren Boebert was physically removed from the Kennedy Center last night for 'Beetlejuicing.' She screamed, "I've been dragged out of better places than this!"

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

Make "fake Christian" happen.

When Musk's minions forced their way into USAID's servers, they made themselves "super administrators" meaning they had access to workers' Social Security numbers, credit histories, and home addresses. They may have well broken the law. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Alex Padilla, a US Senator getting dragged out of Kristi Noem's press conference for asking questions. This is not America.

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Charlie Sykes on Sen. Padilla incident: "The fact that they are embracing and celebrating this shocking episode tells you the direction that we're heading in... they are trying to desensitise us to these kinds of abuses."

ICE wanted the San Francisco Standard to blur the faces of agents who were taking immigrants into custody. The Standard told them "no." "...we believe that censoring images from this news event would set a harmful precedent for the media’s right to report and the public’s right to know."

The Supreme Court unanimously revived a lawsuit from a pair of Atlanta residents seeking to hold the federal government accountable after FBI agents mistakenly battered down their front door and held them at gunpoint during a predawn raid of the wrong house.

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

All this chaos is being used to distract you from another bill passed by the House of Representatives. It cuts HIV assistance/research and PBS. It will be moving to the senate. They don't want you to notice this. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

This is the language of Afghanistan, of Iraq, of a thousand night raids and drone strikes and clearing operations brought inevitably, finally, back home to American soil

Megabill would cost poorest households $1,600 a year, boost richest by $12K, according to Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper.

As I report here for @motherjones.com, a local lawmaker in LA says ICE showed up to a confidential domestic violence shelter. That’s just one of the many impacts they’ve had on shelters & survivors this past week ⬇️

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

'Horrendous incident' Dem. senator on Sen. Padilla's forced removal from DHS Sec. Noem's press conference.

I'll be waiting patiently, and probably forever, for Tom Cotton & John Boozman to condemn this shocking treatment of a fellow senator. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

It’s not a game, dipshit.

The West Bank.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.
