Why aren't you reporting the extreme fascist statements by Noem, saying they are there to occupy LA/CA to liberate it from the elected leaders. Sounds like a coup to me, and this is why Senator Padilla rightfully interrupted her to ask a question, then the thugs assaulted and battered a US Senator.

They most certainly did not act appropriately violating his 1st Amendment right to address our officials. They likely need to face charges. Noem must be impeached. Take her dictator loving self back home to SD.

Rep. Jeffries, I hear what you are saying, but it is not enough. Now is the time to bring hard action to back up those words. We need serious solutions, cause if they can manhandle & handcuff a sitting member of the Senate, then we are in no way able to protect ourselves against this dictatorship.

I mention evil quite frequently because no other words adequately describe sociopaths; it is an outrage that Senator Padilla was treated like a criminal on camera today at the hands of Gnome, an unworthy individual. Meanwhile, we're ramping up, planning & preparing for Saturday's No Kings Day! Yay!

When your executive branch has no respect or restraint against its co-equal branch and will arrest, and detain members of it's nation's own parliament under the flimsiest of reasons, that branch can no longer say it represents a democracy; it represents the iron fist of a tyranny.

LE did NOT act appropriately 1. They immediately went hands-on instead of using their words to ID him 2. Once ID’d, they should've asked him to step out to ascertain his intentions 3. They should’ve allowed him back in the room with the agreement he’d hold his ?’s until Noem was finished speaking

Yeah, “speaking out” seems pretty lame (and tame). Trump uses “invasion” by immigrants to justify his lawlessness. As a Californian I feel invaded by an administration that wants to “liberate” me, per Kristi Noem. The only liberation I want is from Trump and his minions.

Immediately after the vile attack on this U.S. Senator Schumer and Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of this action and It’s Congress’ congressional duty to conduct oversight of the executive branch.

Speaker Johnson calls for Senate to censure Padilla saying his question was "wildly inappropriate behavior." Noem lied that Padilla did not identify himself.
