Statement from Padilla's office on the incident in LA:
“Senator Padilla is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations in Los Angeles and across California. He was in the federal building to receive a briefing with General Guillot and was listening to Secretary Noem’s press conference. He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information.”
Republicans in Congress are trying to give $4.5 trillion tax cuts to billionaires & mega-corps and want to pay for it by cutting $880 billion from healthcare: 72 million get healthcare via Medicaid, 62% of people in nursing homes & half of all births #HandsOffOurMedicaid#MomSky
Rather than calling in folks like Elon and the rest who are out here actively threatening our democracy, these Republicans on the DOGE Subcommittee on Oversight decided that attacking our public broadcasters was a hill to die on. Instead of doing real oversight, they’re busy grilling the heads of public media.
Packed house at the People’s Town Hall in Bethlehem, PA — here to tell Rep. Ryan Mackenzie: Save Medicaid! The communities in our commonwealth depend on it.
Cheering at this @brhodes ending:
"If you don’t like what is happening to this country, you don’t need to wait for someone to come along and save it: You need each other. That should be the message that Democrats embrace, because most Americans don’t want to go where Donald Trump and Elon Musk are leading us.
The opposite of shame is pride. Let’s be proud of fighting back, of caring about one another, of committing to rebuild what is being destroyed. Because America is not just about the powerful becoming more powerful; at its best, it is about the underdog beating the longest of odds."
Scoop: Dozens of Democratic congresswomen are planning to wear pink to President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress tomorrow night as part of a coordinated protest against his policies.
