A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

Trump Sides With Russia at the UN—Abandons Ukraine
The U.S. voted against condemning Russia’s invasion—joining Hungary, Israel, and Russia. 93 nations backed Ukraine, but Trump refused. His team blames Zelensky, not Putin. If America won’t stand up to Russia, who will? Weakness or betrayal? 👀

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Let's say their names:

* Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE
* Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE
All replaced by less qualified white guys.

My grocery store sells through their egg allotment by 10 am every day and the cost of a dozen white large eggs has risen from $3.49 to $4.99.
Where are all the people who said they voted for Trump over egg prices (not facism) and all the journalists who wrote those stories with a straight face?

Musk’s “millions of dead people on Social Security” claim falls apart when you check the facts. The SSA pays $1T a year, with a 1% error rate—mostly overpayments to living people. The “fraud” Musk found? Old records of people born pre-1920, not getting payments. But why let facts ruin a viral post?
