Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

This is a terror campaign, make no mistake about it.

A paramilitarized group is grabbing people and when the public insists on seeing a warrant, the “serve and protect” folks charge in and rough up 16 year old girls.

Have they been reading about the SA/SS, or are they just going on instinct?

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.

Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not.

Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

First, it was bathrooms, then sports, and now they’re getting to what they really wanted — the complete erasure of the trans community.

Also, if you think this is going to stop at trans people, you are deeply mistaken.
I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

I’ve had a few people ask “oh, so is disagreeing with Gavin Newsom on trans athletes a PURITY TEST?”

And yes, protecting trans people from discrimination is a vital purity test.

It is pathetic and disgusting how many people who claim to be Democrats are failing it.

Gavin Newsom threw away (sold?) his core beliefs for his political future. He has determined that he must cave in to the anti-trans agenda in order to be a viable candidate for President.
