Accusations are admissions, every time.

[Video] Sen. Alex Padilla says "we will hold this administration accountable" after removal from Noem event Source: CBS News

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

If you silence free speech and trample the Constitution, you’re the lawless one. “Just obeying orders” is not a defense.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Honestly @gavinnewsom.bsky.social’s team deserves an award for these

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

From an Oregon State Police email recruiting members for its SWAT unit: “Are you jonesing to fire 40mm less lethal rounds and gas munitions through windows, gables, cameras, and at fleeing suspects?” "Anyone want to shoot some pepperball into vehicles...?" @maxbernstein.bsky.social @oregonian.com

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?” @govpritzker.illinois.gov: “Taking their legal right to be here away.” @aoc.bsky.social: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.”

Reminder:

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

#ProudBlue Christy Walton backs the No Kings movement and peaceful protests. While she owns 1.9% of Walmart stock, she has no role in company decisions. She co-hosted a fundraiser for Kamala Harris and gave over $700,000 in political donations last year. www.forbes.com/sites/jemima...

Republican Representatives Constantly POP UP as HYPOCRITES were “kids” are concerned. Is it really that confusing?!? They are KIDS🤷‍♀️ It happens so frequently they seem like tiny ants crawling out of an anthill They just keep coming

Sen. Schiff: "When a U.S. senator goes to demand answers about the lawfulness or lawlessness of these actions to see him tackled to the ground, brought to the ground, what is becoming of our democracy? Are there no limits to what this administration will do? Is there no line they will not cross?"

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.

They should follow their oath to the Constitution and refuse to be deployed.

California's Attorney General on MSNBC just now: "There is no insurrection. There is no invasion"

Boy those LA rioters are lawless!

Burnout isn’t just feeling tired. It’s emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and the creeping sense you’re not making a difference. Sound familiar? You’re not broken. The system is. #BurnoutIsReal #BehindTheDesk #SocialWorkersUnite

When Americans are gunned down by the National Guards and the Marines will the Republicans fight back? So far Mike Johnson has squirmed out of his responsibility to defend the constitution. What will it take for him to find his spine. What will they sacrifice in order to implement Project 2025?

That is correct.

It was never a lie. It was always the truth.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

I have no words, only tears.

Let's find the time to reach out and help each other.

If you get all your news via social media, you’re not getting news, you’re getting someone else’s opinion. If you’re getting news via MSM, you’re getting a billionaires opinion.

It's not often you hear me praising a Conservative politician... Very well said @kitmalthouse.bsky.social 👏👏
