If they'll do this to a Senator, what will they do to you? The authoritarian moment has arrived in the US.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

After Trump floated the idea of arresting California Gov. Gavin Newsom, right-wing personalities began calling for the administration to actually follow through on it. Reality keeps intruding on what the extremists and conspiracy theorists want.

What is happening in this country is unprecedented and incredibly disturbing. Deploying the CA National Guard and Marines without consulting the state’s governor is a clear and dangerous abuse of power. Anyone breaking the law, assaulting police, or perpetrating violence should be held accountable.

Today, a US Senator was thrown to the ground by Trump's thugs and arrested for having an opinion different than the President. That's un-American. They're dragging us further from democracy and closer to a dictatorship. And if they'll come for him, they'll come for you.

A U.S. SENATOR was arrested for attempting to ask a question. Let that sink in. This is authoritarianism in real time. I’m outraged by this administration’s abuse of power and I stand with @padilla.senate.gov

Republicans opposed my amendment to stop Trump from completely defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports independent media, educational programs, and alert systems. Instead of supporting programs vital to their constituents, Rs succumbed to his attack on the 1st Amendment.

Trump isn't sending 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to protect Californians. He's doing it to scare them, to stoke fear, and to provoke confrontation. This is yet another authoritarian power play to terrorize immigrants and intimidate anyone who stands in Trump's way.
