What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

If one person claims it's raining and another insists it's sunny, the media's job isn't to give them equal airtime-it's to check the facts and report the truth.

NEW POLL: 60% of Americans DO NOT believe Trump’s military parade is a good use of government funds — estimated to cost from $25 - $45 MILLION. And poll respondents weren’t majority liberals — by far. 79% were either moderate or conservative (14% very conservative). Keep talking about this. 👇

Senator Padilla was just violently removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference on ICE thuggery in LA. Just another day in 1930’s Germany. Oh I’m sorry, I’m being told this is 2025 America.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

King Trump threatens to use "heavy force" against any citizen exercising their First Amendment right to protest the Billion-Dollar Birthday Bash he is throwing for himself in Washington. Everything he does is indistinguishable from what Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un would do. He is not a president.

The troops are quoted as saying that their deployment in Los Angeles feels like "political theater." It's good to know that our young National Guard members and Marines are so perceptive.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Lies. All lies. Truth is the mortal enemy of MAGA, like daylight or Holy Water to a vampire. They lie about the economy, about immigration, about the policies of Democrats, and about their leader's state of health. If you guess they're lying at any time, you'd probably be right.

Lawrence O’Donnell just opened this show with news that the paperwork was never filed to give the National Guard pay or any type of insurance benefits that they should have working full-time. So none of them are getting paid so far. They also have no cots no food…

The party that called the January 6th such on the Capitol "legitimate political discourse" doesn't get to tell ANY group of people that they shouldn't fly a flag honoring their heritage. Never forget what they defended.

A friend who works at Harbor-UCLA just told me that ICE was on the premises. Harbor-UCLA is a safety-net hospital & a level 1 trauma hospital. People are going to die because of these actions. This makes me so angry.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

When I was a military chaplain, a junior commissioned officer, partisan politics, even casual conversation about it, was strictly forbidden for many good reasons, not least of which was cohesion of the ranks to assure national security as the top priority. Not here.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

Great news for the MAGA “I voted for this” crowd—the only elements of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill _certain_ to be stripped from it are the things he publicly promised you to get your vote. But have no fear! The backroom deals he cut with the rich will all remain intact as he signs it.

The orange dictator's mind is disordered and full of hate and perversion. So are his policies. He's leading the country into chaos and destruction. Of course he doesn't have a coherent viable strategy!!! When did he ever?

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

It's certain that MAGA ignoramuses won't know who Christy Walton is. They'll try to destroy Walmart anyway because they enjoy destroying things. That's what MAGA is all about. Destruction.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

It is sadly and offensively appropriate for a contemporary traitor to honor historical traitors.
