Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.
Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

The fight against corruption has to be ceaseless.
Today in the Appropriations Committee, I will offer an amendment to prohibit the Qatari jet that was gifted to Trump (which is going to cost taxpayers $1 billion) from being transferred to him personally.
Stay tuned.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

This fascist wants to “liberate” citizens from their elected representatives because she does not believe in democracy.
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!

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.
