Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question.
Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.)

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry.
He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud.
This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

Today the White House confirmed that they exploring ways to deport U.S. citizens.
Not immigrants. Not green card holders. Citizens.
He’s telling us exactly what he plans to do if we don’t stop him. He wants to put US citizens into a foreign prison for reasons only he sees fit, without due process.

Deporting American citizens—even those with criminal records—to foreign prisons is unconstitutional and violates core due process protections. The White House has stated it will decide who qualifies for deportation. Will protesting eventually be deemed a crime—and a deportable offense?
