I suggest that every voter should search online or, as I did, ask your favorite AI chat app, what would be the impact on Medicaid of the current Big Beautiful Bill. Remember: Trump campaigned on not touching Social Security or Medicaid. Looks like he “must have forgotten” that promise, or maybe lied

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Having dealt with scores of Congressional visits, I know exactly what he's saying. It's all planned. It follows protocol. He's being escorted. He's obviously, clearly identified.
The notion that he was an unidentified threat is absurd.
