A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.
It needs to be the moment that you all DO SOMETHING instead of just talking and holding up little signs!!!!! 😡😡😡 They are ALL breaking the law!!! The marshalls have a duty to arrest them!
...Just Cruz'n an Stand'n up...for Our Democratic Government...Not this Fascist Felonacracy!.... HANDS OFF of Our Duly Elected OFFICIALS!... 8647 WITH 25 NOW..!...
I am not holding my breath for our Congress to do something. That moment passed months ago. We're on our own.
Don’t hold your breath. You will be passing out and die b4 the congress wakes up
What in the world with Democrats who continue to cling to the idea Republicans are anything other than evil incarnate? There's literally no evidence to suggest otherwise.
Exactly. It’s beyond pathetic at this point. bsky.app/profile/osca...
Before and during the election I said the Dems should not take the high road. The GOP are pigs, you have to get down in the mud to fight with them.
The fact is people like aggression. People gravitate to passion. Show enough passion and aggression and it connects on an animal level with the human brain. It's more like instinct that emotion. A lot of people are going to start feeling inside the people who are fighting the hardest.
Because many Dems are complicit. Unfortunately. Do not look for them to save us. We must save ourselves.
SHUT IT DOWN NOW
It's become evident the executive branch is trying to size power. This is a constitutional crisis.
It was a constitutional crisis when he defied the court order to “facilitate” Kilmer Abrego Garzia’s return. It is time that Congress & the Courts take action against this regime.
Definitely
They all defining moments. Every. Damn. One. How many times does a line drawn have to be crossed because there will be a shitload of lines coming that go beyond the ones so far.
You have the full facts. ACT Now while there's still time! While there's still a democracy to save
Above all, TACO’s Big Fat Get Out of Jail Free Bill cannot go through. But most immediately action must be taken to respond to the way this US Senator was hauled out, body-slammed, cuffed and detained.
Lmfao
“Collect the full facts”? Cowards. It’s in your fucking faces.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Thank you! At this point, Senator Padilla represents all of us. Just as Kilmar represented due process for all of us. We all must fight for freedom, democracy, human rights.
A rubicon has been crossed. It is happening here. Please do everything in your power to help stop this.
You have all the facts. It’s on video. Now is when you get off your ass and do something
LaMonica McIver was a defining moment too - let’s not forget.
Shut the Senate down. No cooperation with anything.
Damn straight, it needs to be. Time to start impeachment of all these chucklefucks that have no business anywhere near D.C. Nowm, Trump, RFKjr, Hegseth, Bondi, Patel....they are all out of their league, and a disgrace to this country.
Time for impeachment is way past; a guillotine on the South Lawn for all these traitors
Full on Christian fascism.
Here are the facts: Noem declared war on California and its elected officials today. Shut the Senate down until she is removed from office. bsky.app/profile/just...
Sounds wildly like Putin talk.
What is the Noem costume supposed to indicate today?
Bergen-Belsen Barbie
I am screaming this at the top of my lungs. She has committed treason, she must be removed, then the rest of them.

#Solidarity #AlexPadilla
Are you going to have another softball game? That’ll do it 👍
You ought to go down the hall and bitch slap that Cult freak House Speaker that wants your Cult colleagues to censor Sen. Padilla. Bad enough we can't get vaccines anymore and we have to hand over our hard earned money to the richest so they can laugh at us but now they want to go Gestapo for fun.
Get the SCOTUS involved! This is beyond frustrating that they are using their power in this manner. The midterms cant come soon enough.
Good thought, but SCOTUS is not on our side. We do not have congress or, of course, POTUS. Our work is cut out for us, but we stay positive, continue to protest, continue to fight this BS and resist these MFers who are trying to take our Democracy, and especially focus on dem leaders who support us!
Bots are trying to shame Democrats instead of the Fascist Republicans causing all of this dumbfuckery; par for the Trump course they’re all high on.
You won’t get any R support. Grind the chamber to a halt. Now.
When will all you weak-minded politicians figure out that the morons on the other side of the aisle DO NOT CARE ABOUT facts. Grow some balls and FIGHT BACK.
Your eyes don’t lie.
Then fucking do something meaningful instead of "oh shame on you, im going to write a strongly worded letter", pathetic fuckers.
Keep fighting for our democracy.
No, not yet. Not until the WH is cleared of the infestation of Trump and fumigated for other vermin.
This really is a modern day tea-party moment.
#ShutDownTheSenate
As it should be!
Screw "condemning" it. Freaking DO SOMETHING. Impeach Noem. File criminal charges against the folks who attacked a CONGRESSMAN DOING HIS JOB. Quit wringing your hands and clutching your pearls. DO SOMETHING SUBSTANTIVE.
I just stole this pic to add to my sign with the penguin flipping the bird.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
And the Congresswoman from NJ? And condemn Jordan’s lies with Machiavellian theocratic excuses? And Boebert’s “insurrection” talk? Why are Dems so pathetically weak to let them even have power.
It’s beyond sickening
Dem lawmakers need to wake up and start speaking plainly about the atrocities being carried out by Trump admin goons. Your failure to rise to the moment is going to be the end of all of us
...Just Cruz'n an Stand'n up...for Our Democratic Government...Not this Fascist Felonacracy!.... HANDS OFF of Our Duly Elected OFFICIALS!... 8647 WITH 25 NOW..!...

And their response?
Thank you
Please don't forget Rep. LaMonica McIver.
THIS!
Thank you. Next Please unseat @schumer.senate.gov
Yes, sir, it certainly is
How about you rise to the moment and make good on the promise you made.
You'll just get lies from the Republicans, they will even lie in front of the video of the actual event.
Everyone should be outraged by this shit!!!
Condemn lol. That'll teach em!
Per video, Sen. Padilla started talking before identifying himself and sec. staff began blocking him, ✔️. THEN he did ID himself BUT: 1. sec staff continued to violently push him out of the rm, eventually putting him on ground in handcuffs ❌ 2. Noem DID NOTHING to stop sec staff ❌
Weeks ago, uninvited Sec McMahon hijacked House Democrats' presser after closed-door meeting outside Dept of Ed. abcnews.go.com/Politics/mcm... She was NOT pushed away by "security"! She was NOT thrown to the ground and handcuffed! She was RECOGNIZED and invited to speak.
I hate to say it, but we have been waaaaay to polite. It's time to "go to the mattresses"
That's the problem I've had w DEMS for years. Obama, Biden and most Legislators assumed their outstretched hand would be met in kind. They looked for bipartisanship. Under McConnell, POWER, one-party control, by any means necessary was the GOP/MAGA plan. DEMs couldn't see reality! Some still don't.
No convictions for Jan6 & stolen documents. No more grace.
Right on Senator! The gloves are off!
Except for those delicate lace ones underneath. Don’t want to get them soiled.
Punch a Nazi!
Please call for Noem’s resignation. She is not only falsely detaining a US Senator, she’s lying about it. She needs to be stopped before she starts a civil war bsky.app/profile/meid...
Time to look into no bank accounts #MoscowMikeJohnson Late 18 months every year for 3 lines 2 pages? 🤔
Huh. Go figure.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Johnson no bank accounts 18 months late financials? Is Censuring him? This must end now!
See it for what it is: Executive Branch has taken over. Congress & Senate are out. As for Judiciary & law enforcement, seems that Executive Branch has a personal militia & court orders aren't relevant.
Appeal court suspends the decision of federal one, so Dump can keep on using unconstitutional deployment of National Guard. US judiciary has been hijacked!
How long do the American people have to wait for the rest of senate democrats to meet the moment, senator?
FIGHT
the people who keep saying they think Democrats are illegitimate are never going to work with you, jesus christ, even now with this
The doubling down from Mike Johnson is utterly preposterous. Expose these fuckers with the triple dog dare. Fuck Ice.
I hear Susan Collins is very concerned but thinks that everyone learned their lesson.
Snort
A FEW??????? WHERE THE F ISTHE REST OF THE D PARTY.
Scared in the corner hoping no one notices
It’s freaking crazy!
Chris it is a defining moment. Noem & Patel need to be charged. This is America. We have freedom of speech. We have the right to peacefully protest. We have the right to burn the American flag & carry any other flag we care too. And trust me I really feel like burning my own American flag!
There are no facts to collect. It’s on video. How are you all so bad at this?
Republicans unanimously endorsed every aspect of Trump after the January 6 insurrection, when they all thought they might die. Not one of them will even meekly condemn the assault on Senator Padilla. They're all committed Nazis until they die.
All Republicans just suck really they do, ass kissers all the way
Republicans will not budge. Nothing will be done.
Groundstop AF1.
The videos are all over the internet
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SPEECHES WHILE THESE FASCISTS RIP DEMOCRACY FROM UNDER US!! WTF 🤔
And don't cave like little bitches and vote to censure him along with the tools you call the other side of the aisle. These people are fucking criminals and you need to start acting like it. Just pretend it's somebody on the street, you'd have Whiplash as to how fast punishment was doled out
I'm pretty sure the video is self-explanatory. So don't waste time trying to ferret out facts, just do what the Republicunts do, demand people are fired and make sure it happens. Stop bringing a knife to a gunfight and fight like hell for your constituents and your country.
Like Garland the actual video of events like J6 isn't enough, Pathetic. Shi* show will never end. Dems watch a crime on real time and need to collet facts. Geez
Guerrilla tactic: Insist that both Noem and Trump apologize. They won't, of course, because they can't stand the idea of apologizing for anything they do, but the optics of them squirming as they try to justify this is exactly what America needs to see.
Shut them down.
BRAVO!!!!!! And the house needs to do the same for Rep La Monica McIver.
Ask every Republican to acknowledge publicly that we are a DEMOCRACY. Did they take an oath to uphold and support the constitution? Get each one of them to say it on camera.
yes. and impeach noem.
Please rally your colleagues! We need Congress to finally find a spine and stand up to this regime! IMPEACH.
He’s been impeached before. It doesn’t matter. If they have no formal punishment, the impeachment is pointless
It IS. The facts are there for everyone to see. We are up against a lawless rogue regime that’s attacking my home state and is on the way to attacking all Americans, whether they’re elected representatives or peaceful law abiding citizens.
You need to jointly rise and demand the immediate impeachment, removal, and arrest of this entire administration.
Shut it all down. No “picnic” no more making nice. They are coming after all of us.
Please don’t let the Democrats back down….time is running out
"The cops are openly arresting us and we're going to write a strongly worded letter to our colleagues who support that"
The dems are such milquetoast losers, they get played every day.
Seems like they get played or paid every day. The leaders are compromised.
bsky.app/profile/hurr...
Don’t back off… order pizza and stay on the senate floor for days if need be… We need a whole lot of John Lewis’s good trouble And we need to show the American people actually have a backbone.. and the people stand beside us
Fact: he identified himself. Fact: nobody should be handcuffed for asking questions!!!
Any Republican with a brain cell needs to resign from the Republican party and join the Democrats in stopping this idiocy. Saturday's military parade must be stopped now. Take immediate action to remove this administration as they have not honored their Oath to the Constitution and our Democracy.
I agree but it's not gonna happen. Congressional MAGATS have ingested as much kool aid as the cult members. They're all in & too invested to develop a conscience & grow a spine at this late date.
It's a defining moment for GOP Senators. Are they going to call out the bullshit or not? No one in their right mind would look at what happened and say, "Yeah, that was justified".
They had their defining moments both times he was impeached and they voted to acquit him. Not only have they have failed to live up their oaths to defend the Constitution, but they are actively working to destroy this country.
Mikey thinks it was the senators fault!!
Thank you, Senator.
Peacefully protest on Saturday. Bring our flag! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #NoKings
What happened to Padilla is important but secondary. Noem pledging the Trump admin will work to overturn democratically elected governments in CA is the bigger issue. It's an impeachable violation of the Constitution.
Chuck Schumer, or anyone in leadership, needs to shut the Senate the fck down! DonOld’s regime is arresting House & Senate members.
You know the Republicans (Nazis) don’t care. It’s time to recognize that America is at war. Pick a fucking side.
So much this! We are in the streets. We are making our voices heard. We expect the people we trusted with our votes to stand tf UP.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
It is. And I am not American.
Every day there’s a defining moment…a new constitutional crisis. This is exhausting
shut the senate down
You have video of the incident.
I don't expect that Republican cowards will have anything to say about it. Sadly, I don't think much will come of this.
And where is @schumer.senate.gov ?
Lol book tour? Nap? Out to lunch? Vacation? Typing a strongly worded email? Shaking a weak fist at the sky?

Alright PNW!!
Rachel Maddow talks about the most important story of your life...if you are an American. This is it. This is the time where you find out where you stand on the side of history. Any day now Trump will declare Martial Law or lean on the Insurrection Act. youtu.be/0I50-NuRXbs?...
This video is from May. Regarding protecting the US democracy you might want to watch this video. Historian Professor Lichtman talks about a executive order that Trump signed 28th of April. He already have authorized Hegseth. Trump has been waiting for this. youtu.be/Muqad4OI3Y8?...
Really, all the other moments of this becoming a fucking Nazi country weren't enough? DO SOMETHING REAL!!!
Turns out he was on the Senate floor.
Good.
Yes, that’s what we need - more condemnations. That will make them stop, for sure.
It seems senseless but it needs to happen for the Republicans to admit what is happening isn’t ok. See there is strength in numbers. Once they see that they might be ok standing up to the crazies.
Might I suggest you all, Senators and Representatives, get on a plane to a Blue city and hang with the protesters this weekend...instead of attending a birthday party. Your obligation is to your constituents , not F47. Be there for them s...as you said you would be when they elected you...
You still don't get it, do you? "Collect the full facts"? "Colleagues on both sides of the aisle?" Shut down the senate. Refuse to cooperate. Any random protestor in LA right now is more of a leader than you guys are.
I mean hell GAVIN NEWSOME is being the leader of the moment and he's openly favoring the alt right normally.
The full facts are on the video. Sen. Padilla identified himself. Period. His treatment was unlawful. Bring Noem up on charges. Bring ALL of this administration up on charges. Save this Country Sen. Murphy.
The fact is that he rushed the podium and kept pushing forward against those restraining him. Lock him up!
Drink more koolaid.
It's delicious. Now stop rushing podiums.
Who's gonna try them? Garland?
What other facts do you need,Senator Chris Murphy?We all saw it.You saw it. Now DO something about it. Shut down the Senate. Shut down all operations. This is where we are. The time for polite talk is past. The line was crossed with Rep Nadler's cuffed staff member, Rep McIver's Indictment &NOW!
They had 24 hours for their "fact finding" endeavor. Did they find an alternative video of Padilla throwing rotten tomatoes a Noem? Now what? A wringing of hands and clutching of pearls? Are we pulling a "very concerned" Susan Collins?
DO SOMETHING! NOW! 🤬 BEGGING YOU ALL, ACT NOW!
Congress must stand together. A line has been crossed. The “GOP” MAGA side of the aisle knows what’s happening. They will be held accountable for the demise of the greatest nation the world has ever known.
Please tell them to stop the insanity we will fight for our rights but you MUST fight in congress for all of America

Exactly I just posted another nasty sign if MAGA and Trump’s secret plan to take away tax exempt status for every charity he deems to be enemy of the people or somehow supporting terrorists- Harvard, Democratic Party, ACLU etc- that’s how Putin and Orban destroyed dissent and free speech - tricky
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Crazed way of thinking-Trump has ALWAYS been nuts -since the seventies he’s always made like he was “Someone” Ummm… maybe I should spray this nutty guy in gold just like Trump going down the Golden Escalator or sitting on his “Golden Throne” in the Oval Powder room (Toilet)
bsky.app/profile/af68...
The attack on Padilla was really bad - but Noem's statements at that presser (“liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that the governor and the mayor have placed on this country.”) is *WAY* *WAY* worse. Please make sure to also push back against that.
Don't take any shit from them. Keep causing good trouble. This is unacceptable.
are you fucking stupid dude
@republikatv.bsky.social Republican your can’t silence and stand by doing nothing. Your days are number. Keep watching American people will never quit
Screw that. Bring the senate to a halt.
And what are YOU doing? Get out and protest this Saturday.
You think we're not? 80% of bluesky shows more spine than our "leaders." Yes. I make up statistics. Lol. But what makes you think they're not already protesting?
Glad to hear it. Everyone who is disgusted with what this administration is doing needs to be contacting their senators and protesting.
What the fuck are you doing, jfc
Call for Noem’s resignation. Call out all the republicans. It can happen to them too.
Did you find the video to be overly long?
Demand Noem's resignation Accept nothing less
Shut it down. Walk out.
Yes please!
Do what the founders would have done to tyrants.
Impeach Noem
Then don’t fuck it up with some grandiose retaliation speech that doesn’t mean shit to Trump and his thugs. Pull your heads out of your asses and actually do something. Action speaks louder than words.
Put the Bible on the table so they can feel the power of god!
Are there any GOP senators actually present?
Dude: the full facts are on video. And so is the fascism. Your Republican colleagues are the fucking ENEMY at this point and are supporting a dictatorship and the destruction of our democracy. Don't try to be a "bipartisan moderate" on this one. This is life and death.
what the fuck are you talking about, "the full facts." do you mean the video footage that everyone can watch? did padilla have a bomb strapped to his chest or something? the fuck you on about bruv
A massive democratic sit in. No one leaves, no work, sit sit and speak of all the fascist crap going on. Make the news cover you. Make the GOP step over and around you. MAKE GOOD TROUBLE!
Atp Republicans might call in the oathkeepe... I mean, Ice Agents... to remove them and send every Congressional Democrat to El Salvadore in the middle of the night if they do that. These ppl have proven that there is no boundries or rules that they must follow in America in 2025.
Yes!!! I love that!!!
the other side of the aisle is the American Nazi Party, you dithering boob
Impeach her and impeach him!!!
You have “the full facts”. Millions of us will be in the streets tomorrow while you sit on your thumbs. You have power. Use it.
Let me just issue a brief statement that it is no doubt going to come from the convicted felon in the White House about a U.S Senator being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by Noem. "I don't know, I don't know. I'm just hearing about it right now from you. I don't really know him. I'm not sure"
Thank you Senator Murphy. Please also respond to Speaker Johnson calling for Senator Padilla to be censured. This is outrageous.
Let’s not forget WHY Padilla spoke out! NOEM: “US forces will remain in LA until the city is liberated from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this governor and mayor have placed on this country.” Padilla speaks out, is pushed out and to floor, handcuffed. bsky.app/profile/uaby...
Fucking lying bitch ICE Barbie was on Faux News lying about the incident before the senator was even released!
Noem is missing her armband.
Good! And Articles of Impeachment against Norm filed in the House please.
It's bad
That last sentence is reminiscent of President Obama: I don't have all the facts, but clearly the police acted irrationally. Remember? When he was defending the drunk Harvard professor. No legitimate attorney would ever say that. Yeah, facts do matter.
This was a defining moment?! This moment has had definition for awhile now. Not to sound rude, but what the fuck have you been seeing?
With all do respect senator, I don’t believe you and you colleagues will do anything. You all failed to treat this threat with an actual response, instead wanting to maintain “buisness as usual” and now our democracy fades by the day………
Hold Noem and her Gestapo accountable!
I am so disappointed and pissed at all the lazy corrupt Democratic leaders. Look up what it means to fight? To uphold an oath. If you cant/dont wanna fight then leave tonight. This turn the other cheek shit is over. Make it happen coward.
Bravo, Sen. Murphy, et al.
Bruh. What facts you need to collect? It's all on video.
I'll wager a guess that they don't know the "facts" regarding what their donors want them to say.
True dat.
There is a LOT to do before the elections, two WEEKS is an eternity in terms of the no longer creeping rapid rise of fascism. But assuming we make it that far this is why it's so so important to primary them. Because they're right that no matter what we can't let any Rs win.
AMEN! I saw enough that she had no excuse for acting like an egotistical prima donna! Impeach all the egotistical inexperienced bootlickers!
They need to get a fucking spine. It's the US at stake
Agreed.
Hopefully they’ll write some strongly worded letters to congress. 😅🤮
If we're lucky, pff. :B
Oh what a time to be alive
Need to make sure that we hear both sides of the case. Ponder the evidence, deliver speeches, then warn them they are about, almost, thissss close to goung ober the line?
As a constituent, thank you
Everyone must stand up against such unlawful, hurtful, and cruel attacks on all of us. Enough! Where is our humanity, America?
While you're "collecting facts", Noem has already been on Fox spreading lies about Padilla lunging at her and that they didn't know who he was...and Johnson is moving to censure Padilla. You motherfuckers have failed at meeting one. single. moment. of this TACO Hell we're in. FUUUUUCK!
How can Johnson censor Padilla?
He can't. But that doesn't stop him from going on camera and saying that that's what should happen...because they want Padilla to look like he was out of control and his "behavior was inappropriate".
It's censure, and he can't.
HE can't as House Speaker, but he's calling for it. It's all performative to steer the narrative. It doesn't matter what they can or can't do. All they want to do is create the appearance that Padilla was in the wrong. And meanwhile, Dems are "collecting facts".
Fuck off with attacking Democrats. You're part of the fucking problem.
This. These useful idiots are directly aiding fascism with their bullshit. If you’re not aiming your outrage at Trump and Republicans, you’re working for fascism. Period.
My outrage is at Trump and his sycophants AND the Dems who are the actual useful idiots that voted in these criminal cabinet members. How many voted for Noem? Not zero. Not 1. Not 2. Not 3, 4 or even 5. Wake the fuck up.
If I could double Automatic follow you, I would!
YOU can fuck right off and keep living in your la-la land that they are working for you. If you think they're not taking money from corporations and working deals behind closed doors, you're exactly the CHUMP they want. When's the last time you checked the entire voting records of those you support?
The older I get the less, I can spell.
Democratic leadership has NO idea how to fight the Trump regime. They're reading the rule book WHILE Trump is burning it. They have no clue! But they better learn, & fast. We need ruthless bastards, not wimps who whimper "Decorum!" while Trump is bashing their skulls in.
💯 Their fight or flight response always leans toward the latter. We can't depend on them for anything.
Padilla is a Senator. Johnson can't do shit.
Perhaps a defining moment for the Senate, but the nation has been well defined- white supremacist, oligarch empire that shuns international justice and conventions whenever convenient.
I sure hope you’re not going to the Whitehouse picnic this weekend.
That was tonight.
I HEARD HIM LOUD AND CLEAR ! While the gestapo were pushing him out of the door he said, I am Senator Padilla and I have a question....
The full facts whatever they are do not excuse what they did to him—even if he didn’t I’d himself, WHICH HE DID!
Condemn? Are you also writing a strongly worded letter?!
How about remove the puppy killer 😡
What happened ought to be a defining moment. If you and your colleagues fail to meet that moment, you’ll have defined yourselves for certain.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Shut down the Senate until the military is out of LA. Noem described a COUP today. Read/listen to her words and SHUT IT ALL DOWN. bsky.app/profile/just...
Yes! I can't get anyone concerned about over two battalions of troops plus tanks being brought to DC this weekend. It's not about wasting money. Its about the sincere possibility we're looking at a coup. Noem is priming the pump.
Yes it IS!! Thank You!
Moses Mike Johnson is calling for his censure in the Senate. These Republicans in Congress has relinquished their duties to an authoritarian leader. “No Kings” protest tomorrow use your voice in a peaceful and strong way. Show up.
He didn’t attack the bi-atch. He asked her a question. But don’t dare question this regime. They hate free speech.
Good lord come together for the sake of this country. We need to know that there is sanity in Congress.
All it took was 20 years, full state capture of both halves of legislature, the judiciary, justice department, fbi, intelligence services, armed forces, federal commandeering of state militia, and the illegal arrest of a senator to get my party to "jointly condemn" something. Well, I guess we win?
You don’t need to collect shit, bro.
The republicans don’t think they’re next?
It is only defining when it happens to you guys? Need clarification bc boots on the ground people are treated like shit on the daily
Exactly my thoughts
A defining moment for the country, SO FAR..
Right? This is gonna look like child’s play in a few months.
Don’t play nice! They don’t! We support you!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Please strongly highlight the words of Noem. She has blatantly stated that she believes the military in California are needed to rid them of their ‘socialist’ government and that right there is a declaration of Civil War.
The full facts? Fuck you coward.
Thank goodness there are some sane voices who are unafraid to do what is right.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. Seriously dude, collect what fucking evidence? FFS will any of you fools ever rise up to the moment?
The defining moment was J6. The evidence was recorded and seen by the whole country. Merrick Garland didn’t do shit. McConnell didn’t even have the balls to impeach the fucker that tried to get him killed. I don’t have much hope that worthless bunch could save anything.
Biden was a very good President but leaving garland in power was his biggest failing. His nickname for Garland was “that motherfucker” yet he let him stay and do nothing.
Agreed. Biden was a good man. Did good things but was not an aggressive fighter for democracy. Instead, he clung to the naive belief that there was some decency in Congress that would revert to norms when Trump was gone. He clearly was wrong as the corruption and lies grew worse.
I'm sure your Republican compatriots would have supported the Capital Police taking down MTG for interrupting the SOTU, right?
Are you going to brag about deportations again?
WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU ALL BEEN??
That ship sailed...we have defined ourselves and basically this is who we are as Americans now
Just a heads up from Missouri, don’t count on Hawley and Schmidt.
Thank you, Sen. Murphy!
Yes!
Unfortunately the GOP doesn't give a damn. They've turned into pansies who quake in their boots when it comes to defending their constituents or voting no against the orange criminal.
Senator, your Republican colleagues have already formed the lie (he didn’t ID himself, he “lunged”) and sent it out via Fox. It’s being amplified (SpeakerJohnson) and repeated. Show the tape. Call a lie a lie. Shame your colleagues. Pressure Thune. Call on Fox to show the full tape. We’re waiting.
Fauxnews lying to their viewers again
He is obviously going to just whine and do nothing. Nothing.
Then he and they all must be cast out and shunned. No more bullshit about how any of them are worth a damn.
www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/secret-...
Unless you ready to recognize that the Republicans you continue claim are your colleagues are now your enemy, you can talk until you run out of breath. You need to treat them as what they are, treasonist enemies of our Republic, liars and cowards. I would watch my back if I were you.
Exactly! They are not speaking out about. Silence is not so golden.
The defining moment for the country is long gone. Most of what is happening today has been paved by the Democrats all along. Complacency is complicity. We need a third party. These two have proven to be fascistic in nature. The genocide defines them, not the cosmetic differences they concocted.
Our Dem senator @kaine.senate.gov and 6 others literally voted to confirm that monster. The outcome would have been the same if they hadn't but Jesus fucking Christ.
Mine, @slotkin.senate.gov, also voted to confirm her, and continues to show that she has no intention of working for the good of her constituents.
Slotkin is all about punching down on the vulnerable so it’s no surprise she would support Noem.
Did she? I thought it was just Peters?
They both did.
I just saw that. Thanks. Ugh. These people.
Good. What happened wasn’t a surprise but is definitely unacceptable behavior. Important to note that it would still be unacceptable if he was “just” a constituent. Turning political press events into military battle damage assessments against Americans isn’t acceptable regardless.
It’s go time. We are with you. Be safe. Stay strong.
I hope the democrats don’t attend the parade on Saturday and that so call WH picnic.
If any D’s attend either/both, they need to be called out about it each and every day and if they are up for re-election in 2026, they must be primaried and lose their jobs!! (Assuming, of course, we will actually have a free and fair election 😬)
So when a senator gets pushed around, it's a defining point? When ordinary people get pushed, beaten , and jailed for doing no wrong? What was that?boring? Entertaining? Can we get less speeches, less videos, less theater but actual action?Do something that matters!If not you and ur party is worse!
How many red lines have been crossed? How many constitutional crises? And still zero consequences Until there are consequences the escalations will continue
The full facts!!? ITS ON VIDEO!! Stop legitimising the regimes outright lies!
Don't forget about Rep McIver‼️
Time for more action, fewer words, Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social. Shut it down however you can, start House impeachments for POTUS, Noem, Hegseth (& Kennedy). You may fail, but make Republicans vote in favor of the dictatorship coalescing before our eyes. Stop being polite. Bipartisanship is dead.
...Just Cruz'n an Stand'n up...for Our Democratic Government...Not this Fascist Felonacracy!.... HANDS OFF of Our Duly Elected OFFICIALS!... 8647 WITH 25 NOW..!...
exactly, it’s like they’re afraid of attempting to force a vote on impeachment. If that’s the case, then they aren’t fit to serve.
If they aren’t showing up to work on behalf of the American people they shouldn’t receive a paycheck.

then they should fucking resign like the cowards they are
Vote to impeach, stop being a coward and work on behalf of all Americans for the stability of the country and the well-being of its people.
And what are YOU doing? Get out and protest this Saturday.
Absolutely. I'll be there Saturday, my 3rd big protest since inauguration. I also demonstrate every Friday afternoon with my local Indivisible group. I called all three of my elected officials (again) today. I started a monthly democracy support group. Maybe don't assume someone else is doing zero.
💯
DEMOCRATS CANNOT DO NOTHING. Read the room. Not on impeachments, stop thinking linearly. Democrats should close the fucking place down and force Trump to arrest them.
Get them on record voting no on everything.
DO NOT ALLOW SENATOR PADILLA TO BE CENSURED!
To do normal things after an abnormal event is to normalize it. Every representative and senator should walk out right now.
Stop with this! You look and sound foolish. Atrocities have already been carried out on so many innocents. Now that one of yours has felt a small bit of the sting, we are at a "defining moment"? Come on, Senator!
Shut it down
