A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question.

Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.)

The Trump regime is out of control.

@padilla.senate.gov Dear Sen. Padilla, I am so horrified at the way you were treated today. We are watching, you are not in this alone. Thank you for your service.

Under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, America's poorest families lose about $1600 per year.

The richest households gain about $12,000 per year.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

"If you care about our Constitution, about due process, about civil rights, watching a U.S. senator forced onto his knees for asking questions should be a terrifying wake-up call." Well said @anitachabria.bsky.social
Commentary: First they came for the immigrants. Then they took down our Latino senator. It is starting to feel like being brown in America is a crime. Brown man allegedly lunging is the new Black man driving — scary enough that any response is justified. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Federal agents manhandled and cuffed U.S. Senator Alex Padilla Friday as he tried to ask questions of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. It's starting to feel like being brown is a crime.

DHS Secretary, Please tell me how this “liberates California”?

Californians will keep protesting peacefully and hold you accountable.
Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Just so those of you outside of California know, the little red circle is the area that the National Guard and Marines are there protecting. There’s 5 times more troops then protesters. This is unacceptable

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
