Covered countless press conferences in 20+ yrs in journalism. I've seen critics, including elected officials, show up to question/confront speakers. I've never seen anything like this in response.

At :59 the man arresting Senator Padilla says "there's no recording allowed here." It's a PRESS CONFERENCE

I remember how you JD Vance dared lecturing us, European people, on free speech at the Munich Conference. Look at you now. 🤦 x.com/Maks_NAFO_FELL…

Government agencies are now lying to you from their official accounts. Senator Padilla identified himself repeatedly and only tried to hold his ground when Noem’s goon came after him.

If the Secretary of Homeland Security shows up in your state to say she’s “liberating” a city from the elected government, you’re goddamn right the state’s US Senator should barge in to ask some questions.

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?” Governor JB Pritzker: “Taking their legal right to be here away.” @aoc: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.”

Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which halted its nuclear program in its tracks. Trump ENDED that deal (in 2018). Iran then resumed enriching Uranium and now here we are with another preventable war on our hands.

It's hard to credit MAGA with ignorance. If they were ignorant they'd sometimes choose less evil over more evil, but no matter where you set them, no matter how many times you spin them around, their moral compasses point with unerring certainty toward maximum atrocity & cruelty.

Every veteran should be furious! This guy was going through the asylum process the “right way.” Give how he helped our troops fight to Taliban, he was almost certainly going to win his case and get a green card. Now Trump’s ICE has thrown him in jail, all to meet QUOTAS.

This is just getting petty. Grow up.

You just pulled National Guard I placed at the border who were stopping fentanyl smuggling. Now they’re twiddling their thumbs in LA.

Just a reminder that the money being spent on Trump’s ego parade could feed every single homeless veteran in America for more than four months.

Trump sure is arresting a lot of Veterans the day before celebrating *checks notes* the military.

So they aren’t rioters

So you’re saying it should be illegal to enter the capitol building in protest?

This parade could have been an email

Remember when Nancy Polisi’s husband was assaulted with a hammer by a Trump supporter? And the traitor joked about it? And then the press found a way to normalize it? That’s why we’re here.

Was the US DoD hacked and two Russian flags added, or is the Trump admin this oblivious all the way down to their graphic designers?

Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away." Other reporters say they have been targeted too. 1/2
