“You can’t even see Kristi Noem in the video….This notion that he was some physical threat to her is just absurd…It’s sick, and it’s hard to even dignify what Mike Johnson said with a response.” - @timmiller.bsky.social

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

The fact that the economy shrank in the first quarter has generated a lot of big headlines. I want to give a more nuanced interpretation, and perhaps make the case that there's less here than meets the eye. And lemme explain why this is a moment that will confound many of our economic statistics.
