Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.
This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.
Today, we join together to honor and recognize the impact of women veterans. These heroes have fought and sacrificed to protect our country while also overcoming unimaginable obstacles in their dedication to serving. To our veterans and those serving today: Thank you.
Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state.
Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.
Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.
The Constitution sets forth limits, and that includes the President of the United States.
Today, the people won.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“
Exactly, Stephen Miller is a power hungry nut case.
Making America white is his main goal, he’s obsessed with it…
Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."
Really…
Good God he’s an idiot!
If this is how they respond to a senator with a question, “You can only imagine what they are doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers … throughout the country.”
"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California
The Trump Administration's forcible removal of Senator Padilla today is un-American and unacceptable. Our elected officials have a right — and a duty — to conduct oversight of President Trump's abuses of power.
As much as the administration wants to silence dissent, we the people won't back down.
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."
This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out.
The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything.
We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path
We aren’t “slipping” into authoritarianism.
We drove ourselves there Nov 5 2024.
You got it!
Why haven’t the employers been arrested by ICE?
This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.
Hahahaha!
MANY!
Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."
Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."
😕
Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.
