Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

Trump & my Republican colleagues want to throw 16 million Americans off health care – on top of 85 million who are uninsured or underinsured.
Their actions will cause more than 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily each year.

Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most.
Health care is a human right.
Every other major country recognizes that.
It's long past time the United States does as well.
