ICYMI: Fredericksburg, Virginia #nokings !!!

The honor of a lifetime. Happy Father’s Day, California.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

BREAKING: SENATOR PADILLA HANDCUFFED AND THROWN TO THE GROUND AFTER BEING FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM PRESS CONFERENCE.

Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing: "I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary"

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

Fortunately Padilla is not currently detained.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "We will hold this administration accountable."

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed. "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Video from @Elex_Michaelson on X via Padilla's staff.

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

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Padilla statement.

BREAKING: US Senator Alex Padilla attacked by Kristi Noem’s Goons

They had no right to impede the U.S. Senator. I’m guessing these clowns violated state law with regard to assault. Anyone that laid hand on the Senator should be brought to justice. And the faces of these thugs should be known. #ImpeachNoem

I'm taking action on June 14 to remind Trump and his enablers that America has No Kings. Join me in Fredericksburg, Virginia to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. app.sosha.ai/s/BnEZgY3K

"The scene... turned violent AFTER federal immigration authorities used flash-bang grenades and pepper spray on people protesting…" Seems to be a convenient fact many of my Republican colleagues are leaving out in their statements of support for "law and order."

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

Trump responded to peaceful protests standing up for immigrants in Los Angeles with tear gas and rubber bullets. He’s a wannabe dictator using violence to advance his authoritarian playbook. We won’t stand for it.

Melvin is a US Marine Corps Veteran who was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He’s also sounding the alarm about Hegseth’s threat to deploy Marines in LA.

The President needs to explain why he took the escalatory step of activating the Nat’l Guard. As an Army vet, I know that using the military domestically should ONLY be a last resort.

David Huerta, SEIU California President and a leading voice for California workers and communities, was injured, arrested and detained by federal officials. @schumer.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov , and I are demanding answers from the Trump Administration.

Violence is never acceptable—of course, I condemn it.   But I've also got news for everyone: the President who pardoned criminals who beat police officers nearly to death DOESN'T care about public safety.   Trump just wants more chaos as pretext to further abuse his authority.

Americans have the right to peacefully protest.

Gov. Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to CA following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice. Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.

Invoking violence only gives Donald Trump the reaction he’s looking for. Attacking law enforcement officers just doing their job is unacceptable — period, full stop. Protestors who participate in violence or vandalism must be held accountable.

I'm filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to end the illegal takeover of a CalGuard unit, which has escalated chaos and violence in LA. Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority. We will not let this stand.

71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. May our history inspire us, inform us, and instruct us in the work ahead.

Maybe folks can finally lay off him...Pres. Biden served our country and our party and most of all did it FOR THE PEOPLE. Not Saudi princes. Not Russian dictators. Be well Pres. Biden. America loves you.

71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. After generations of struggle and sacrifice, the supreme law of the land finally bent toward hard-won justice.

The far right loses again by big margins. No one wants to repeat the American mistake.

While Trump is traveling across the Middle East collecting bribes and banking billions for his family businesses, his MAGA Republican legislature is fighting it out to see how many millions they will strip Medicaid away from. This is the Art of the Steal (of our country) right in front of our eyes

Sending prayers and love to President Biden and his family. Wishing him strength and a speedy recovery — we’re all behind you, Mr. President.

Sending my prayers for health, strength and a speedy recovery to President Biden, who I know will be surrounded by his adoring family during this challenging time.

Joe Biden is a good and decent man who has served our country with honor & distinction. Mr. President as you face this new challenge, know that the people of IL02, the state of Illinois & the United States are with you. You, Jill and the entire family are in my prayers.
