Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.
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!

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.

Gov Newsom said he believes that things in LA are about to get much worse because he has learned that the Trump admin intends to “operationalize” the 4,000 Nat’l Guard troops that he has called up to work directly with ICE.
“We’re on the other side now, the red line,” Newsom said.

Yes, I want to go back to arguing WITH Tom Nichols--instead of agreeing with him!
Back in the day, conservatives and liberals only disagreed about how big government should be and how to make it work more efficiently - not whether the government should exist. I look forward to getting back to that.
A good opportunity for Democrats to drop their current message -- "We apologize for being Democrats" -- and pick up a new one: "We can have nice things."

It turns out, not only is the White House slacking on posting transcripts of Donald Trump's remarks (as previously reported youtu.be/lrxaGebfNmI) but now NBC News reports that existing transcripts are being removed, avoiding the awkwardness of having to transcribe Trump.

Kristi Noem, our homeland security secretary, does not know a literally 1000-year-old core legal principle. Arguably the first, foundational legal principle of a free society.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

Trump was just negotiating with Saudi Arabia, the country responsible for 9/11 and dismembering a Washington Post journalist. And took a $400 million bribe from the country that finances Hamas, famous for its hostage taking. So take a seat, you crazy, white supremacist bitch.

While Republicans fight to pass tax cuts for billionaires that blow up the national debt, they're also insisting that millions of Americans lose their health care.
This bill will shut down hospitals, force seniors out of nursing homes, and kick children off their health care.

CBO estimates that the combined effect of Republican Medicaid proposals, allowing enhanced ACA premium tax credits to expire, and President Trump’s proposed ACA rules would increase the number of uninsured by 13.7 million. That would take us back to close to pre-ACA levels.
