Noem not only had a US Senator assaulted and falsely arrested, she’s lying about it. While Padilla was thrown to his knees she was talking about how scared her ICE agents were for being doxxed.

She’s a liar. Call for her resignation

It’s all part of their playbook. 😡
Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.

So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.

This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.

California is under attack. They don’t care about the immigrants. They are collateral victims. He wants to control the state by taking control of the national guard. @governor.ca.gov please defend our rights as a state.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.
