Im FOR THIS!! trump snubbed as NAACP breaks 116 years of tradition to send clear message www.rawstory.com/naacp/

Trump is the very thing he warned us about. Read “the issue.” — new 👇🏼

So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?

Well, I think this is how fascism works...

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing.  But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

ABC News crew are said to be frantically "wiping everything" from their computers following the network's dismissal of presenter Terry Moran for sharing a social media post that criticized Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.

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

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

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.

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.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

Trump clarifies that iCE will no longer be targeting agriculture and hospitality workers and will instead focus on brown Senators.

Feels like we're living in WWII era Germany...

Senator Alex Padilla getting hauled out of Kristi Noem's presser, warrants Noem's immediate resignation.

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

WATCH: California Sen. Alex Padilla is handcuffed and detained at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in LA 👇

JUST IN: Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was removed from a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Democratic US Senator Alex Padilla was shoved out of a room, forced to the ground and handcuffed by security after attempting to ask a question at a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reut.rs/4l4iOev

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Double.

The U.S. Department of Education must temporarily reinstate the hundreds of employees laid off earlier this year and cannot follow through on an executive order from President Donald Trump seeking to dismantle the agency, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled Thursday.

Following a major federal lawsuit, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has begun reinstating grants revoked by the Trump administration via the formerly Elon Musk-led DOGE.
