Going to need the Middle East knowers to explain to me why Israel is attacking Iran now specifically. What if any relationship does it have with the US-Iran negotiations?

"distance themselves from the liberals." Look dude, there are not enough leftists to win this thing alone. There is no movement that takes on Trump that succeeds without a broad coalition with liberals and centrists and horrified conservatives on board. It's popular front or bust.

The fact Chris Cillizza has any career to speak is a grave indictment of our civilization.

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.

There is a fundamental disconnect between the K-12 public school system and the labor market demands faced by parents. Before age 5, after 3:00pm, and during the summer, parents are on their own to find a safe place for their children. I propose a solution: rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Thank you senator. Get confrontational. Let everyone see what they are.

A US Senator was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents, and then the DHS Secretary went on to say that they are taking control from the "socialist" local government. That is fascist, there is no other proper word for it than that. No euphemisms are necessary or warranted.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

I think there's very clearly some forethought with Padilla's actions today and that is extremely good to see

Putting their bodies on the line is pretty much all Dems can do, given minorities in the Congress, but it's powerful insofar as they're seen as the legitimate representatives of the people. These are YOUR representatives they're grabbing & shoving! These are YOUR representatives they're silencing!

The brutal treatment of Sen. Padilla reveals these thugs for who they are. They are making America a police state. This is not a time for leading Dems to send tepid messages of condemnation. It is a time for them to show up and stand up. Go to every Trump event.Speak out. Dare them to drag you away.

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.”

Agree on both points. 1) States control most criminal prosecutions. Calif state charges for physical assault OF A US SENATOR in state's biggest city. 2) Dems in US Senate need to stand up on this one. This didn't happen even in days Faubus/Wallace/Maddox/Bull Conner resisted fed authority in 60s

This week, we are yet again watching people in power authorize brutality against protesters. This time, it’s in Los Angeles where people have been exercising their rights and standing up to defend their coworkers, friends, and communities against the terror of ICE raids.
