Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."
Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."
Are we pretending this statement passes as ID? Are we pretending people could pick Alex Padilla out of a lineup?
I'm gonna assume you're joking. so... hahahaha
Not joking at all. I am pretty sure the security which removed him had no idea who he was, nor did they care. He should have begun his question by identifying himself, maybe provide a picture ID. Could you have identified him in a lineup?
He said “I am Senator Alex Padilla”
He did say that after the ass beating began. Of course, it was too late. And saying your name does not count as credible ID. I assume security would assume an actual Senator would not act like such a little bitch.
You might want to get the full details before going any further. Notably the fact that he had official business in the building and was escorted into the room by FBI.
I already posted the details from the NY Times. How does official business or FBI escort make a difference? He aggressively interrupted a press conference and when confronted he did not shut up. So he got removed. Played tough and got embarrassed. Bad look.
Yeah this was absolutely, 100%, in no way, a case of mistaken identity or of not knowing who he was. They damn well knew. That's why they went after him.
Damn near no one knew who he was before yesterday. He was not Adam Schiff before yesterday.
Anybidy who pays attention the news or what is going on in California knows who he is. And I guarantee the 40 million people who live CA know who he is, and again- Trump cronies know who he is. You can argue against it all you want, but facts are facts.
Thats pure bullshit. I live in CA, LA specifically, and follow politics closely. I could not have picked him out of a lineup. "Guarantee 40 million in CA know who he is" Evidently, you do not deal in facts. Trump cronies didn't arrest him. Security did.
And to suggest that he wouldn't have been attacked had he presented ID or not been so "aggressive" (for the record, he was not aggressive), then the cops & FBI wouldn't have gone after him, is absolure fairy tale nonsense. Trump is going after ANYBODY who stands against him, peaceful or not.
They went after him because he was loud and aggressive during a press conference. As they should. Remove him. Makes it worse because he is a Senator... bad look for him... especially once he was on the floor.
Typical “selective” hearing and seeing from a Trump supporter 😂 man, go back to X
I am a Liberal. But an honest liberal Who doesn't like to play victim Then celebrate as if I won.
Fuck off magat scum
Quit crying. I'm a liberal. Just not the crying, slap fight type.
*correction: DINO magat scum
Find your safe space Buttercup. All of us libs aren't pussies.
Try watching the video, Einstein. He did identyfy himself. Numerous times! 🤬
After the removal began. And still security didn't know or care who the fuck he was. He reinforced the idea that us libs are pussies.
They should have stopped there when he identified himself. Maybe they could haved asked to see ID. You can't put the blame on Sen. Padilla when it's the police & FBI who have the power in this situation. Also- you think Trump's cronies don't know who Padilla is? Gtfoh.
Trump cronies have repeatedly demonstrated they don't know shit. Those security people knew he was a loud, aggressive man interrupting a press conference. They did what they should have done. Padilla tried to get tough, it backfired.
Please try a little harder even if he wasn't a Senator the actions of Kristi's thugs were akin to assault and they should be arrested Don't make shit up
Please stop Your words are assaulting me.
People are removed all the time. Stop it.
of course they are what silliness is wandering in your brain
"Good Guy without a Gun, but Lethal Tongue." No
Your "logic" has an unpleasant scent. I suspect everyone in that room knows exactly who Padilla is. Certainly noem knows & a healthy adult would have been professional and addressed the Senator. That is not the case. noem is part of a dimwited coup cohort attempting to move their effort forward.
You would suspect wrong. Could you have picked him out of a lineup before today? Could you have named him before today? Not Adam Schiff would have been your answer. Security didn't know him. Noem is an idiot, probably didn't know him either.
She & her staff know him from confirmation hearings. Her staff brought him to the press conf. Yes, they knew exactly who he was.
She or her staff did not remove him. Security did. Did Security know who he was? Of course not. You didn't know who he was before today. Did HER staff bring him to the press conference? You sure about that?
Anthony, I don’t know why this has gotten under your skin so bad but, please…take a breath. Could Padilla have handled it differently? Of course. Could Noem’s detail (that’s who initially roughed him up) handled it differently? Absolutely. It’s an example on the growing list of this admin’s abuses.
It's under my skin because it is another example of us liberals reacting like a bunch of whiney bitches. We got real problems with a wannabe dictator, and Liberals are acting like Padilla is the most important issue. Fuck Padilla, he got treated better than immigrants or citizens on the street.
I agree that the left tends to whine while the right tends to bloviate; no action by either. I also agree that Padilla wasn’t disappeared like others have been. That said, to CA liberals he IS important. He may end up being the kindling to spark Congress to get off their asses and do something. 🤞🏻
Agreed. Which is horribly depressing for us liberals. People being whisked away to foreign prisons wasn't enough But a Senator being pushed out of a news conference might be enough. We're f*cked.
Absolutely…this is only the beginning. Definitely gonna get worse.
It was her personal security that removed him. She knows who he is and he identified himself! Stop bring Faux News lies and misinformation to this space!
I am a liberal. Who applies logic. And puts shit in perspective. Does her personal security know him? Did she recognize him? Saying a name is not identifying yourself. He attempted to be a tough guy And got his ass kicked. Embarrassed all us liberals. Made us look like whiney bitches.
Not much logic applied. Yes, her security knows him (only 100 senators & secret service knows all of them). She testifies before him regularly. More importantly, their staffers know each other. This was deliberate intimidation. I’m proud of my Senator standing up to authoritarianism.
Did Secret Service remove him? NO. Don't let facts get in the way of your argument. Staffers didn't remove him. Don't let facts get in the way of your argument. He tried to be a tough guy And got his ass handed to him Bad look for us liberals.
I never said staff removed him, I said they didn’t intervene, until they were done with the fascist theater in front of the cameras. Then her staff asked to release him & invited him to the previously scheduled meeting with Noem. Not sure where your ‘facts’ are from, but you seem sure of them…
This is a distraction from the real horrible shit going on. It makes us liberals look like a bunch of whiney bitches.
You said that already, and it’s less convincing the second time around. He’s standing up for his constituents & his community. He’s a Chicano son of LA, whose parents were migrants and he’s watching his community be terrorized by masked thugs. Calling her out is not a distraction.
The theater was Padilla. I agree with him but his method was ill conceived And he looked weak He picked a fight and lost.
He’s a work horse, not a show horse. All senators will be pissed about this, but most lack courage to say it publicly. Authoritarians using violent force on elected leaders looks weak. We’ll see how this unfolds, but he’s doing something genuinely. How are those strongly worded letters working out?
Yes, secret service is Noem’s security detail (as cabinet secretary), that’s the guy pushing Sen. Padilla out. The federal security in the building know him… as he has an office in that building. You seem pretty sure though…
www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...
Yeah, what she said!
She's making assumptions. That she can't prove.
Correct, Noem staff brought him to presser, as he had a briefing scheduled with her that morning, which she postponed to lie to the press. Noem nor her staff stopped the security from handcuffing him. I’ve know him since I voted for him as CA Sec. State. He’s my Senator & I’ve met him. Keep it up
Have not once heard Noem's staff brought him to presser? You know him. 99.9% of America couldn't recognize him. He got his ass kicked. Is that what you want to keep up?
87% of statistics are made up on the spot. - Todd Snyder
That is correct 99% of the time.
Sure, but did he state which country?
Coockoo!!! How did he get there in the first place? Through security. 🤯
The point for me is, HOW THE FUCK DOES A CABINET SECRETARY NOT KNOW WHO THE SENIOR US SENATOR FOR CALIFORNIA IS??? Everyone in this administration is a demon from Hell.
They are evil. We cannot denying this to ourselves anymore. We must not deny this to ourselves anymore.
If their mouth is moving, they're lying! Noem is so disgusting, apart from being a liar!
The Dog Killer
Always lies. ALWAYS. Abhorrent.
Of course they're lying. But who else do they think was able to get into a monitored room in the federal building? And whomever they think could've done so, why do think man-handling him would have been appropriate? It's authoritarianism.
Since they had escorted him in, sounds like a setup.
He wasn’t listened to at all! Fire every single one of those thugs!
His being a senator doesn't matter, but yes .. he literally just said it...
Who are "the agents"?
If doesn't even matter if he was a senator. No one should be treated the way he was!
And Noem's statement underlines her knowledge of his status as an elected representative of California. bsky.app/profile/just...
Not that it should even matter that he is a Senator in the first place - but the fact he is makes it ten times more egregious.
So they'd rather claim to be too stupid to understand their native language. Sounds like it's dangerous to give them power.
Those security thugs must be fired!!!!
Yes, you're right. Here it is. www.nbcnews.com/video/sen-al...
The videos we've been allowed to see all begin with the goons' hands already on Padilla. What happened before that? What had Padilla done that justified their putting their hands on him? Why is this video being withheld? Is it so Republicans can go on lying about what happened?
"Padilla was WALKED in the room by National Guard and such because he was there for an official meeting. He didn’t even open the door for himself, because they welcomed him in!!! They are full of complete shit!! Not to mention, Noem had to be confirmed in front of the Senate!!! 🤔 LIARS!"
Padilla attempted to ask an important question.
www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
He was in a room with the puppy killer and was wearing brown skin. That's enough these days. They have no consequences to fear. Assaulting a US senator is normally not brushed over, heads should roll but if there is no resistance, they do as they please. Why not? Seems to be normal now.
Come on @nbcnews.com Call it what it is!! They tried to beat him silly. They heard him identify himself, and went full on violent MAGA on him.
Even I heard it and I'm hard of hearing.
Forcefully removed? They beat his ass
Did you see the camera crew, how much is their pretend made for tv reality show costing tax payers?
Heard it clear as day. F'ing hell.
Let’s not forget that it is irregular for a cabinet secretary to be doing an event without any coordination with the state’s DC delegation. Padilla should have been invited as a courtesy.
Nazis don’t believe in courtesy.
this ^^^
Good point
Well, imho when you are as stupid as she is you don’t follow protocol bc you don’t know any better, which of course makes you dangerous bc as we all know there is nothing more dangerous than a stupid person espec when they have power at their disposal.
Democrats and actual journalists are on a special list...and it isn't the one for invitations.
🙌 THIS!
Boom 💥
Senator Padilla has an office in the same building. He had a meeting there and went to Noem's propaganda conference afterward to do his job on oversight.
He went after clearing building security & escorted by FBI.
(oversight for the Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety...of which he is the RANKING MEMBER. Pretty sure the Schutzstaffel knew who he was...Noem has testified before his committee. Blatant lie to pretend otherwise.)
There is no need for Noem to even be here in LA. Yet alone lying about Sen Padilla. She has had her 15 mins as far as I am conerned and needs to get on with her life's work away from all of us. Plus she overspends on her budget and taxpayers will have to make up the deficit.
Interesting that there were soooo few people in the room other than her goons
they should start bringing their own... you don't bring a flower to a fight
They showed their cards when she said it out loud “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this Governor Newsom and this mayor placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city.” youtu.be/4qQYknL2E2Y?...
Kristi, confused much? Policemen, fireman, ICE etc. are "socialist organisations". Available 24/7. Spoken from your autocratic mouth, a good chuckle. Last time I checked we live in America. Please relocate to Russia; where you can cosplay on RT for Putin.
Courtesy, respect, it's a distant dream with these freaks.
But every one of Trump’s ass kissing fanatics will believe whatever his lapdogs tell them 🤬 it wouldn’t matter if Trump was caught on video committing the most scandalous criminal acts for all to see. They’d still support his stinking ass 🤬 we’re going to have to wait for old age to catch up to him
She's claiming he wasn't wearing a pin so she didn't know who he was. Also that his voice was loud. That means she both saw him and heard him clearly say in a " loud" voice " I'm Senator Alex Padilla"
They were in a federal building. Presumably, everyone in there was screened by security when they walked in. He had been in a briefing with a general before going to the presser. Noem is being disingenuous. An apology for overreacting would have defused the situation but nope.
Noem doesn’t belong in a position of authority.
He had been screened, was wearing an identification pin, clearly identified himself, and was accompanied by an FBI escort. How dare anyone question the puppy-killer? /s
You must be a socialist
The Puppy Killer wouldn't be able to define that word correctly even if you handed her a dictionary. 🙄
She is lying. Kristi Noem has testified before committees of which Sen Padilla is a sitting member. She knew exactly who he was.
I'm not so certain. He's Latino. All Brown people look alike to her.
They definitely knew who he was when he began speaking and said, "I'm Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the Secretary..."
Indeed. An important clue.
Of course she's lying - she works for TRUMP.
A stranger to the truth
An enemy of the truth.
EXACTLY! This was her lying ass getting her sick little revenge on him, the disgusting little MAGAt Barbi. 🤬
The bitch shot her own puppy in the face. She's a psychopath.
They think doubling down on their lies will work for them because it works for trump. They don't have the cover of the make believe immunity decision. They can be impeached. I know we don't have the votes but it doesn't matter.
They are going to be bawling like babies and begging for mercy soon… bsky.app/profile/keep...
Disingenuous is way too generous It's the trick-assed bitch mode she's perfecting. She so needs to go.
stupid fucking plastic faced air headed dog Killing Kunt Krusty Gnome what kinda sick fuck does such a thing? why the fuck would you put them in charge of humans? why are the humans doing what she says? she's just some dumb bitch who can't do shit herself, when her accomplices realize this, it ends.
but her hair is always perfect
Padilla and Noem were on a committee together. I believe he was over the committee. Noem knew it was Padilla.
But he was wearing both a Congressional pin and a shirt that said “U.S. Senate!”
And why would a pin make any difference? All citizens have first amendment rights, not just Trump's clique.
He was escorted in by an FBI agent & a national guard member.
It’s all on the video.
Further, he was in a federal building with controlled access. No randos are allowed inside. But you knew this would be their 🐂💩defense. They’re all fascists.
DHS is lying. 🚬😎
She knows exactly who he is. I'm sick and tired of people letting these lying clowns run with a narrative that has been seen all around the world. We can't go on like this as a nation.
Lies and denials are the currency of the trump administration. 😡
Hopefully we'll see what a personal suit against FBI agents and a sitting cabinet member looks like!! It should also make her resign, but they don't do that in this circus....
In addition to the fact that he was in a federal building and likely had to show identification. Their defenses are ridiculous. And there’s video of him stating that he’s a Senator.
Everyone who enters a Federal Building is vetted. Phone repair workers have been arrested for unpaid traffic tickets from years ago in other states when they tried to go and address phone troubleshooting.
And Senator Padilla's t-shirt had the Senate seal on it. If there was any doubt about his legitimacy, someone should have asked to see his ID, not tackled him to the ground. It's also noteworthy that cops blocked his aide from recording agents handcuffing him in the hallway. Why?
FBI agents ushered Senator Padilla into the news conference. Falsely claiming they didn't know who he was, is total BS.
If Congress doesn’t wake the fuck up, our country is finished. They won’t, listen to Mike Johnson’s lies. GOP can’t tell the truth about anything. Earth is flat.
Plus Sen Padilla’s shirt had the Senate logo and the building is secure. One has to go through security just to get inside.
AND he's a ranking member of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety, which Noem's wheelhouse. She knew exactly who he is.
He said he was escorted in and one opened the door for him.
So? He's a Senator FFS. At least the entry officers have respect
Oh, I'm sorry. I guess only you are allowed to stick up for Padilla. My bad.
Well of course they LIE, it's ALL the RETHUGS know how to do and Trump has CORRUPTED EVERY LEVEL of our Govt! We now have to add the DHS to the list of Govt agencies WE CAN'T TRUST to do their JOB LEGALLY and UNBIASED!
It’s all on film. EVERY DISCUSSING SECOND.
Even if he wasn’t a senator, seems extreme to do regardless. 🤷♂️
I heard Barbara Boxer on MSNBC say that every paige that worked in Congress had to know the names and faces of EVERY Senator. A paige! She said Homeland Security agents AND NOEM knew who he was.
Of course she knew him. As a member of her departments oversight committee, he had been sending her correspondence to ask questions that she ignored so he went to her press conference to get answers
Noem was in congress before governor as tea party freshman class of 2010 She knew
It’s a good thing his shirt didn’t spell out US Senator
@nicholewallace.bsky.social did a fantastic job of making sure she showed Senator Padilla identify himself (12 times) yay Nichole
It's because he's the "brown" CA senator.
I just wanted to say that you are making an impact. Please keep fighting. ✊
As they are pulling him out his shirt is clearly exposed & marked with a senate logo on his left chest area . The fact the head of Homeland security doesn’t know who the Senior Senator of California is while she is there to do a press about the upheaval speaks to her lack of leadership
It's like they don't know about those new fangled video do-hickeys!
Wrong shade of white… just sayin’
This is what Saddam Hussein would do. Not the US!
Reset your expectations. Clearly we do this now.
I’m no politician, but if you need to use the military against your protesting citizens and unmarked men to forcibly manhandle and remove a Senator who won by 61%, perhaps your policies aren’t as wildly popular as you think.
There are now millions of people who have seen the same video where he clearly identifies himself
Yup!
Here’s the video bsky.app/profile/pale...
They'll keep lying about everything, keep changing their lies. And never tell the truth. They are incapable.
That should not make a difference, NO ONE should be treated this way. Hod I hate them all.
AND it should not fing matter if Padilla is a senator or not!!!!!! The Taco posse is out of control when they gang up on any citizen & violate their rights!
They can only get away with this shit because the entire #Trumplican party has become FASCIST TRAITORS who aid & abet this thuggery* *until it happens to them #FuckTheGOP #VoteOutAllGOP
Military Crackdown on LA Protests Portends Further Erosion of Everyone’s Rights Governments at all levels from both parties have paved the way to an authoritarian response to dissent.
she's lying, but not knowing who the senior Senator from thee state she is talking about would also be hugely disqualifying.
It doesn’t matter that he’s a senator- EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT to ask questions of those who are ruining, ahem, running our country without violence or intimidation.
Yep we saw the tape!!
Their logic is FUBAR because they shouldn't assault any person simply for asking a question. Hopefully, they are all fired and sued, starting with the puppy murderer!
IT SHOULDNT MATTER! The act is abominable! Janitor, anybody, nobody should know this!
The MAGAts must be absolutely drooling with pleasure. Their "dear leader" told them he was going to have Dems arrested SO many times, and now today they get this visual. Anyone brave enough to visit their socials and find out?
Disgusting.
It also DOES NOT MATTER who he was; he wasn't disruptive, he was asking a question. At a press conference.
😡
It's too late We can no longer just say; "Don't let them lie" They lie They are taking our rights away Right under our noses They are inserting military To handle us Right under our noses We have done the same ole same ole Right into authoritarianism We need SHOCK AND FUCKING AWE Now!!
And what I mean by Shock n Awe In this post was In numbers On Saturday..... We have to all show out! I feel like this will be our moment And we can't waste it! And yes, by voting If we have another election ABSOLUTELY!
Dems need to learn verbal illusion, half truths, fine print, incomplete answers, said that but not everything and the clencher: thought you knew.
Trump is going to use all of this BS as his excuse to enact the insurrection act ASAP which will give him tremendous power, authority and legal cover to do just about whatever the hell he wants to. Plus he has Presidential immunity! So he can do whatever he wants as president. #VoteNovember2026
Democratic politicians cannot enter events held by this republican regime. And they say this is an administration for the US people.
It’s very clear on the video. They saw a Latino man and simply attacked him. These goons are no different than the Gestapo.
California should arrest these people when they leave the federal building.
He also didn't "lunge" or do anything remotely violent.
Willie on MSNBC said he lunged yesterday. No he did not and their language needs to be truthful. Willie’s words disgusting & lie. Truthful please! Words matter. He was assaulted by FBI and it was observed by all.
youtube.com/shorts/kCUTq...
Surprised they’re not wearing masks.
Gestapo tactics
💙
Please tell me we have the film/audio.
This was meant as a display of power, I think. He was targeted.
Peacefully protest on Saturday. Bring our flag! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #NoKings
As if it would be fine to do that to anybody else...
Those men need to be arrested now
Lawsuit Central.
But, but, how could Noem's goons quickly process that someone with brown skin could be a genu-wine senator?
When you hire goons, then you get a country run but mobster goons!
We watched the shameful video of Sen. Padilla being handcuffed moments by moment on every channel. No one can lie about what we saw with our own eyes.
mangomussolini lies to us every single day. it has become normalized.
Both Kristi puppy-killer Noem and Mike Closet-Case Johnson were lying within minutes on FOX after the incident. They knew the incident was caught on several cameras and they needed to spin a narrative for their duped right wing fans to believe (rather than believe their own eyes & ears).
Don't listen to the lies and the shit they are spewing...Think for yourselves!
"There's no recording allowed out here."
So DHS’ defense for assaulting and arresting a US senator for exercising their 1st amendment rights is that DHS thought they were assaulting and arresting a civilian for exercising their 1st amendment rights.
📌
🏆
🎯
Yes
Bingo!
He said it more than once. They heard it.
Anyone supporting Gestapo tactics in America can take their Patriot pin and shove it up their ass.
Arrest Noem and those officers. Charge them, prosecute them. Personally and severally.
Yes. And don't take a year to do it.
Bondi won't.
State charges. Civil charges - make the the punitives a real stumbling block.
Not with Law School Barbie in charge of DOJ.
State charges
It took place in D.C., correct?
No, it was in Cali
CA
Protected by qualified immunity.
Senator Padilla has the right of oversight and speech and debate. Against this they are neither qualified or immune.
There is a whole constitutional clause about that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_...
Law enforcement engaged in the duties of their job have qualified immunity, even when they are wrong.
There is nothing that protects them against assault of a sitting US Senator for what they called, disrespect.
The argument will be that it wasn’t assault, it was exercise of routine police power. There’s certainly no mens rea for assault-they were not intending to cause harm.
That would be a hard argument for the personal body guards who first assaulted him.
YES!!
And dox the officers. It's time for them to learn that if they choose to shut down people with fear, they are not the only ones who can use that tactic.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Yes, he can be heard very clearly
So we're all just going to ignore that face that Noem said they're going to forcibly remove the lawfully and duly elected leadership from California?
Cosplay people NEVER take responsibility.
He was escorted into the building because he is a senator, by FBI and Natl Guard!
Thank you- it’s a federal building-You have to sign in and go through a metal detector. There was probably additional security protocol b/c Noem was in the building.
She ordered it and you know it. It likely would have happened regardless of speaking.
I hope they charge those fuckers Should it not be a Federal crime
What would happen if you or I started shoving a Senator? How many different law enforcement agencies would tackle and (LEGALLY) arrest us? Assault is any unwanted touching, & this seems to qualify as battery. They should ALL face charges & be barred from any law enforcement. Make 'em all mall cops.
Even so, why does any citizen deserve to be brutalized for asking a civil servant a question?? WTH is going on in America now?
All they know is lie lie lie. Every republican needs the same treatment. It's time for them to get a taste of what they are dishing out! To all Republicans I say🖕
And wearing a shirt that says US Senate.
Well, this still wouldn’t have been ok with a non-senator. They can take their lame BS and ease on down the road.
The cruelty and illegality is their POINT. "We can do this to him, we can do it to you."
Every government official they’ve arrested and battered have been Black or Brown. Racism is also the point.
Indeed - they are Seiging ALL of the Heils. Text 88022 to Dog Whistle for NAZIs.
Exactly!
Doesn't matter if he was a senator or an ordinary person. They should not have treated him like that
SS, Gestapo is what HOMELAND SECURITY HAS BECOME. Nome has given free rein to them. She is CLEARLY a bipolar Psychotic! Her rhetoric and behavior creates delusional false beliefs which are inappropriate and unpredictable. Making her EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla & I have a question for the secretary." --- Trigger words were:"I have a question for the secretary." She panicked !
It shuttle not matter whether he is a senator or not!!!
And we can ALL hear him in the videos.
That’s assault and battery!
Democrats are starting to wake up to the fact that Trump doesn’t give a shit about laws, decorum, or norms. He thinks he is going to be the American Putin. He needs to be dealt with accordingly.
Defenestration?
😂
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Noem & shame it #fireNoem
And they escorted him in!
This. Thoroughly vetted every step of the way, and escorted into the room by the feds, who knew EXACTLY who he was.
We all heard him!!
She was in our state! You know damn well she knew who he is. I am so sick of their answers, I don’t know, haven’t heard that, I don’t know who that is. Fuck off!
GASLIGHTING! They gaslight everything. "War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength." ~ George Orwell, 1984
And his jacket said, US Senate
Doesn't matter if he's a senator or a sanitation worker, he did NOTHING to provoke that attack. #NoKingsDay #ObamaAppreciationDay
Proof ⏬️ bsky.app/profile/jaco...
No recording allowed? Ha. Glad they got all that, though! Yes!
Noam was having a new conference! That, my friend, was a lie!
Those white guys really love this fascist stuff.
It has nothing to do with race or gender.... there are plenty of criminals to choose from. Hitler & Kim are both criminals. When we use race/religion/sex instead of character to judge others, we lose! Always! It's not a choice between left/right. It's a choice between right/wrong!
Then the dude attempts to stand in front of the camera so the press can't capture what all those guys are doing on top of the senator.
He was too late...
Impeach Noem NOW.
Oh, it goes much higher (including her). We have to have the House & Senate to kick these criminals out of office. Keep a list, people! #Vote2026
There's been two impeachments of trump filed: Green, Thanudar.
What the holy fuck are these guys stepford or what?
Unfuckingbelivable😡
Same treatment different results. This is why Kamala Harris didn’t win
Doesn’t matter if he was a senator or not.
Do they think some ringer off the street entered a DHS press conference with a General?
We all heard it on the video. This regime must be stopped.
Yup - I heard him on the crappy video. No way they didn't hear him.
How many “illegals” work at trumps scuzzy properties, some one should investigate!
Not that they should have done it at all, to *anyone*.
We are well past midnight on that clock. That ship has sailed.
Said it twice.
How could NOEM NOT KNOW who he was??????????
Liar Noem!! We heard it
More . Noem knows him very well.
Possible the goons in the room just being goons. Possible the FBI just reacting to the goons (tho why the fuck). But she knows him.
Did they just 86 Padilla? Unacceptable.
Exactly it’s on video
BS. Unacceptable in America. The dog killer must resign immediately!
Wesaw it all! Just like saw Jn 6th
Well others in the room who could have stopped this knew he was a senator!
I don’t care if he’s Joe Shite the rag man…that’s excessive force
Yes, he did! He did nothing wrong.
He is also a sitting Senator and the minority leader on the Senate Judiciary committee with oversight on immigration. Noem has testified before him!
It’s all on tape! It’s impossible to describe it any other way: Noem & her thugs pushed & manhandled a sitting senator who overtly stated who he was & his role.
Is there a reason why today’s daily beans episode says it’s temporarily unavailable on Apple pods??
They knew! No one can deny they don’t see and hear this. Speak up and stand up to stop this NOW. Don’t turn a blind eye or run away. This is going to affect everyone down the road. Resist! 💙🇺🇸💪🏽💪🏼 #ImpeachDJT
Trump does not care about the Law or the Constitution. Evil only
Don't let them misdirect with empty theatrics either? What's the point of asking these questions now ,if not for clicks? You know when they should have asked her? Before the democratic senators voted to confirm her!! Or maybe one of senator hold up the confirmation vote by giving a loong speech!
My goodness though, even if you don't know who someone is you don't just push them to the ground with 3 guys on top and handcuff them...!
Every Democratic MAYOR, every Democratic governor needs to get a hold of their police force immediately. They need to call in their National Guard right now and get them under their control today.
You can clearly hear him say who/what he is
Exactly!! All you have to do is watch the video that is literally circulating everywhere

It’s on tape .. they can lie all they want
How could they not know who he is? It's their job to know on sight, or to have documentation to assist them, of who belongs and who does not. Give them unpaid leave for remedial education until they can recognize the people who are expected to be in a D.C. office building.
This was in LA. He has an office there in that building.
Thank you, Vivian. It makes this extraordinarily disgusting.
Like do they let anyone in to hear Noem - think not. They knew who he was & their actions unacceptable & police should charge them. No “pass” for FBI, they outright assaulted him & let’s see what courts say about that. Make it an issue, senator assaulted in building he works in.
“Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.” —MM
Senator or not, the fact that these things think they are above us proves they have forgotten who they must answer to.
I'm a hard of hearing Senior and I heard those words. Verbatim.
And all FBI are directed to memorize all the Senators as part of their jobs! They knew who he was!! They are lying and those agents need to be fired!! The Senator was in a federal building in his home state!! This is unconscionable.
Distraction? bsky.app/profile/niff...
That's Enough, #Schumer! You Have Plenty Of Video Evidence! Go On TV-NOW-And Tell Decent #America What You're Going To Do About This-NOW!
No, your eyes and ears are LYING to you. How could you possibly think?
He’s on video saying who he is. He also had on a US Senator shirt. They also screened everyone before they could enter so he had to show ID and credentials to even be in the room. NO ONE should be attacked like that just for asking a question! Thrown out, then thrown down and handcuffed?! Militant!
Seems her violent response is automatically activated by brown
"I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary," HIS WORDS WERE CLEAR!!
She knows who he is anyway. He is on an immigration subcommittee.
We aren’t going to let you get always with the lies. I’m legally deaf and I heard him say it.
All they do is lie. They knew exactly who he was and that’s why they did it. To continue to push the narrative of fascism
So they thought he was just an average citizen trying to ask a question and therefore subject to expulsion, handcuffed and arrested?
They are such liars. It’s on tape that he identified himself, and bull shit that federal agents in LA don’t know who the California Senator from LA is on sight.
No one watching Fox will get the truth
He has since said that everyone has to be cleared to enter the building, and he was escorted to the room and they opened the door for him‼️
Orwell was put out to pasture …
They knew
A response to DHS:
And then-completely lacking self awareness and with zero sense of irony-she went on Fox “News” and accused the Senator of theatrics. 🙃
Said it right on the video and I'm hearing impaired.
It’s on video. They lie about everything
😡
Whoever watched the video even just once, we heard it, we saw it and it was what they wanted.
😂😂Liars it is as filmed
Even if he weren’t a Senator, asking questions is both legal and vital to democracy.
Federal agencies? are they now active participants of the trump authoritarian regime? Are they acting against the people of America? Are you in danger if you have any interaction with these agencies? Is trump trying to incite violence? Does he want a revolution? What’s going on?
"Yes" to all the ?s except for the last one. What's going on--Trump & regime are beginning to morph into a dictatorship before our eyes. We must resist, peacefully, in every way we can. Dems in Congress should have their hair on fire & use all their available tools to grind everything to a halt!
You are in danger!!!
She has testified before Padilla. Her boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski, certainly knows him... was standing right there and clearly approved the assault.
And they started trying to drag him out when he said "I"
They saw a brown guy and attacked him. Pretty transparent.
Looks as if the guys who attacked him were brown and black.
Doesn't matter. They know what trump/noem expect.
Exactly.
Exactly they saw Latino first
DHS is trying to claim he didn't identify himself until after the guys started manhandling him out of the room. Video? Obviously fake! /s
They escorted him to the room and even opened the door for him to enter! Of course they knew who he was.
If that's so, it's even worse.
And I know that in their head they probably heard “I am señor Alex Padilla”.
No. They heard "yo quero, taco bell!
@governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social needs to deploy the local and state police and national guard to protect Californians and the press against Trump's imperial stormtroopers! California authorities are facing, AND FIRING ON, the wrong side! Call Newsom's office! 9164452841 Senator Padilla
@governor.ca.gov. Correct me if Im wrong, but doesn't the Mayors or Governors of states have the power to FIRE "local" police officers for unlawful abuse of power or police brutality, especially when video evidence is presented?
hmm interesting post per Constitution wonder can he usurp and take leadership of the state guard? Amazing if he can and any other governor.
THIS is what the governor should do.
They weren’t listening at all. They’re all at the same 3rd grade comprehension level that their lord and saviour Trump is at 🤦♂️
Yup. Had it been Rep Darrell Issa or Rep. Tom McClintock (both MAGA idiots), KKKristi would have given them hugs and kisses…
Yep. The left should not give in to their lies and narratives that the corporate media will amplify. Left has to amplify the truth. Those fucking fascists should be taken to the shed
Of course they went after a brown skinned California Senator. Senator Padilla is all of us!
Exactly.
Shameful display of what the U.S. has become. Not coming but is now. Lies, ignorance and assholes in power. They're already hurting multiple people because too many in uniform like to hurt people. They're going to kill people to see if they get away with it.
Senator or not, he was asking a question.
This!
AND, I'm sure Noem knows the California Senators, AND the local Congressmen/women representatives by SIGHT. She had her thugs do this to make a point!
She is head of DHS and Sen. Padilla is the ranking member of the judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship & border safety; shouldn't she recognize who he is? Plus, she has testified before that committee numerous times before. Terrifying.
This was set up in advance by Noem. These agents were instructed to take him down the minute he asked a question
100%!!
No, that's not what happened. Padilla himself even stated he just happened to walk in there. It's just that Noem's security, like most of the Trump admin, have come to believe they can just do whatever they please to whomever they want without consequence. And that might sadly even be true.
He was escorted in though.
They are testing the bounds. And unlike New Jersey with Mayor Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver, this one was completely caught on tape, because it was a live press conference. So their now all too familiar he-said-she-said approach to shift blame is falling flat because there's evidence it's a lie.
With Kristi's boyfriend being on camera, I wonder what role he played.
Yes, that’s exactly what she/they did and do. Break laws, assault people - jail and kill whoever squeaks a tiny sound.
Noem LIES just like her Füehrer Shitler! She tried to spin her story to cover hers & her Gestapo brown shirt asses!
He was also escorted into the room, they were kind enough to even open the door.
EVEN IF THEY DID IT'S STILL NOT COOL
Old dirty rag
How could anyone hearing that NOT have a question? Trump is sending troops to liberate California from their elected leadership!
Also, if what they say is true then release the full video because obviously the press conference cameras got the whole thing.
Fire them Fire them Fire them
Also, even if he were NOT Senator Alex Padilla, there's no excuse for how a simple questioner was being handled.
CORRECT
We all saw the truth.
💯
And Noem knew who he was.
They all look the same! You know how bigots are
Even worse, they knew who he is, punished him for being uppity.
Yes, Sen. Padilla announced his title and name before he was forced from the presser. Unacceptable!
Twice! He told them who he was two times.
Yep 👍
It’s clear.
Those agents absolutely did what they did because Senator Padilla is not white.

What is it with them and lying? The Bible portrays lying as a sin and an abomination to God. Am I reading the wrong Bible?
He did not ‘lunge’ as they allege. If she was or felt she was in danger, WTF wasn’t she whisked off the podium? Instead, she continued to blather on as Senator Padilla was being tackled & cuffed. Also, WTF is up with puppy killer Noem and those baseball caps? Lies, lies, lies.
