Forcibly removing a United States Senator from a press conference is disgraceful. This administration’s chaos and corruption is out of control.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Watching this video sickened my stomach, the manhandling of a United States Senator, Senator Padilla. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on.

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

BREAKING: Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., speaks out after being forcibly removed and cuffed from DHS Sec. Noem's press conference.

First, hard-working immigrant families, then peaceful protesters, now US Senators….America, time to stand up and stand firm against tyrants and their minions!

Let's talk about what happened today.

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing.  But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

The federal government is LYING to the American people. After the Department of Defense did it, now the official Department of Homeland Security account is spreading a fake video — not from this year — to justify Trump’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles. This isn’t just

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Conservative Senator Rand Paul just demolished Donald Trump’s taxpayer funded birthday parade. Even Republicans are admitting this was awful. This is huge.

Last week, I was forced to the ground — first to my knees and then flat on my chest — and I was handcuffed. Simply for having the audacity to ask a question. We cannot let this Administration silence us or keep us from doing our jobs.

Donald Trump’s America: The father of 3 U.S. Marines is brutally beaten by federal agents.

Confirming what we knew all along: this is not about going after criminals, it’s about chasing people through Home Depot parking lots. This does not make LA safer. Los Angeles continues to stand united against these indiscriminate raids. latimes.com/california/sto…

The facts matter. The people matter. The Senate’s Medicaid approach breaks promises and will kick people off of Medicaid who truly need it. The Senate can make one simple fix to make sure that won’t happen.

My statement on today’s news:

Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and
