Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Sen. Alex Padilla forcibly removed from Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference

Rep. Pat Ryan: "Mr. Secretary, I don't say this lightly but I have to say this on the record: I think your tenure as Secretary of Defense has been shameful and weak and you should resign."

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.

Either/or: Take your pick.

A brazen new form of corrupt giveaway by Trump’s DOJ: Bondi’s decision to cave in to meritless big money lawsuits by criminals pursued by the Biden administration will transfer $100M or more from us as taxpayers to those who tried to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. Ugh www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This is a clear cut case of assault. And who were those people in plain clothes attacking Sen. Padilla? This is fucking outrageous.

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.

A US Senator. Donald Trump’s America.

Awww, Puppy Killer says #FuckICE🖕🏼 agents are being doxxed... It'd be a shame if this atrocity continues... 🙄🤭

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"we have a Constitution and we follow it" Secretary Puppy Killer lying in a press conference. Multiple court decisions clear evidence they are not following the Constitution.

Why did they have to throw him to the ground and cuff him once he was removed from the room?

This is how they treat a U.S. senator in his own state.

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

Arrests have begun against MAGA supporters making online threats. Our team is monitoring local news post and taking screenshots of violent comments, we’ll make sure they reach the proper authorities. If you see something, say something.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

JUST IN: Padilla's office says he is no longer detained:

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.

More Pritzkers please ✊👊

OOPS: Attorney for Proud Boys in their lawsuit against DOJ may not be allowed to practice law because of a prior felony conviction he appears not to have disclosed, according to the magistrate judge handling the case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Some Big Tech companies think they should be able to freely sell our crown jewel technology to China. David Sacks thinks we should let them. Giving free rein to Big Tech is a recipe for disaster and letting China eat America's lunch.

Who will work the harvests? Prediction: trump will empty the nation's prisons, conscripting inmates to pick the produce...

Today DHS is telling hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came in legally, with a US sponsor, that their permission to live and work in the United States had been revoked and they should leave the country. www.cnn.com/2025/06/12/p...

Holy cow

New figures from CBO about how Americans at different income levels are affected by the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill. Topline finding: Richest decile gets about 2% richer. Poorest decile gets about 4% poorer. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Yikes

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with Governor Gavin Newsom to discuss the military aspects of Trump's unwanted and unneeded deployment of National Guard and Marines to LA. My YouTube isn't that big so it was a real privilege to get the interview. Check out our conversation and subscribe!

While it will be a shame if climate.gov is deprecated, the site cannot be trusted as a peer-reviewed source of scientific information if it remains live, because the content will be dictated by the Administration. Remember, #AltGov accounts can speak the truth while official fed accounts cannot.

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.
