She basically said “we’re going to use the military to free you from you’re elected leaders.” That’s the headline….. and that’s authoritarianism.

He loudly interrupted her — repeatedly — in the middle of her speaking. He was motioned to stop but moved forward toward Noem , promoting security to stop him. Your political *bias* blinds objectivity. Cheers.

This is a fucking clown show and disgusting waste of resources and tax dollars. My god. If this was the Biden administration doing this shit the headlines would be much more forceful

At this point the SCOTUS is a puppet court, Congress no longer controls the purse strings, and the Senate is no longer a body of free speech and debate. Fascism is Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, and John Roberts' legacy. We're all next. Time to pick a side. Dwight Eisenhower is rolling in his grave.

If federal police in your local jurisdiction wearing masks and military tactical gear without name tags and badge numbers along with Title 10 soldiers doesn't concern you enough to take action; you're on the wrong side of history, need to study the Constitution, and may be next. This is not a drill.

“Interrupted” ?!? A press conference is called specifically to make a statement then answer questions. Call out this action by US Gestapo agents as fascism.

Go down to your local police station, go the Chief and demand that he listen to your question right there and then...because you have rights...and when he tells you to make an appointment and you just keep on talking......please tell everyone the outcome.

Violent assault on a US senator. Just another atrocity on the slippery slope into tyrannical hell. I hope this wakes up Congress to their future role. You are now a pair of hands for clapping, long and hard until they bleed and you cry for the love of your dear leader. Impeach him while you can!!

I’m so angry right now. I live in California. And you are correct he just asked a fucking question. These assholes controlling the narrative are owned by the ultra rich who only have one thing they care about and that is themselves. Fuck the New York Times.

I can’t stop shaking and I’m crying angry tears right now. I’ve just left messages at Senator Padilla’s offices to let him know that we love him, are proud of him and stand with him. They are literally disappearing people out of my neighborhood here in San Diego.

The words that should be in your teaser are “dragged out and handcuffed”. Either you are an unskilled writer (in which case you can learn to get better) or you are intentionally softening what happened. Which is it?

He didn´t interrupt, he tried to ask a question but was removed before he could. And by the way, Noem announced they will remove the LA and California gouvernments. (I´m getting so sick and tired of your framing of events.)

Under Title 32, the Guard stays under state control. The courts ruled there was no cause to invoke Title 10, which would federalize troops. That means the president can’t override the governor without legal justification. Martial posturing doesn’t make it lawful.

WAPO This is why I won’t pay for your rag anymore US Senator forcibly removed and handcuffed by unqualified ice agents at the Bea has of unqualified Noem After identifying himself as a US senator, they continued to drag him out
