If/when you see police violence this weekend being used against peaceful protesters, take a beat and think about the restraint used by officers on Jan. 6. How they defended the entire US Capitol during an insurrection. And didn't irrevocably brutalize people actively attacking them. Just a thought.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

How is it possible we still didn't see any reporting on who these amateurish ICE agents are? I'm sure reporters have access to experts who can show beyond doubt these are not trained officers. I'm sure they have access to resources who can uncover the identity of these people.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

The GOP is out here trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America because clearly that’s the emergency, while Americans are out here losing healthcare, housing, and food benefits. We see exactly where GOP priorities lie.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Make no mistake, it wasn't an 'accidental' deportation, it was a test. Failing to abide by a court order sets up the precedent to ignore future court orders. This is not a drill.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.
