"How could you say that you did not know who he was?"

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass speaks out on the forced removal of California Sen. Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference.

DHS claimed the senator "interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself."

US Senator Padilla's office is in the very same building. He was wearing a US Senator's jacket. Senator Padilla has LEAGAL Oversite over Noam, Noam knows exactly who Padilla is, he has met her in the Senate, he had every right to be there, and Noam is in HIS state.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Republicans will claim Padilla — one of the kindest people I know — is a menacing man who stormed the briefing with smoke coming out of his ears.

But the video doesn't lie.

He didn’t lunge. He announced himself. He just wanted answers.

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS!

Chuck Schumer suggests it is antisemitic to say what Israel is doing in Gaza is a genocide. Yet some of Israel’s own top scholars of genocide and the Holocaust, all of them Jewish - Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Daniel Blatman - say it is a genocide in Gaza.

Does Schumer consider them antisemite too?
