By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

“Power prices have gone up about 11 percent nationally in the first half of this year, new data shows.”

In other news, Rio Tinto has booked a $1 billion profit after striking a power deal with Meridian.

If a man is going to make claims about immunology then I suggest he actually learns about immunology. A fxcking virus is designed to ultimately change your immune system for life- that’s the concept of immunity! Just the virus might kill you b4 you get the immunity to it

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

In case you weren't aware, the greater LA metropolitan area is the size of Portugal and contains 80% more people.
