What happened to Sen. Padilla is beyond outrageous. I'm shaking. I can't believe this is my country.

If Republican members of Congress do not believe that they are an equal branch of the government, they should not be there. They do not believe in the constitution.

Republican is a political party not a branch of government. what are you talking about? That does not make any sense

Please explain how Republicans do not believe in the constitution, what evidence do you have that demonstrates that?

The Senator was totally out of line and should never have acted in such an arrogant elitist and disrespectful manner.

Noem must be personally sued.

She should be arrested, but sued at a minimum.

I believed in Karma before I had heard the word. In rural Indiana it was: What goes around, comes around. May Trump&his grotesque administration feel the fear&degradation he’s made citizens&residents of this country feel.

The election was rigged in his favor with the tech and financial help of his then buddy Elon Musk. Now they appear no longer friends so wait until we here what was done to those swing states to win him the election other than offering $1M contest to vote for Trump by Elon.

I agree with you completely re: war crimes, but please. We women have internalized sexism and misogyny and many regularly use terms like bitch and Karen. It doesn't help us as women. We can still call out women who do horrific things without using these terms. I get push back on this sometimes but it's worth it.

Kathy Bolain's avatar

How dare she think she can just throw down by goons a member of Congress who had every right to be there and ask questions. And because Noem didn’t like being questioned about the legality of what she was doing??

They didn’t arrest him but forced him down and kept him so he could no speak…. What if we threw Noem down for not answering his questions? She’d take him to court. So I think that’s what should be done to her.

She has no right to be in that position!!!

She won't ever answer for it. She blames the victim. No apologies ever forthcoming from this regime for everything. They are always right and we the people always wrong. Sen. Padilla is a fantastic human being and representative. Whether anyone from across the aisle stands up or not -- we know the truth. We know that the Orange Gangster wants to threaten everyone to back off on Saturday.

No way. Because we are coming like a storm.

I hear you, Marcia. But what can Senator Schiff do beyond speak out forcefully. Dems are in the minority and Republicans reps are too terrified of Trump to utter a peep. I'm protesting on Saturday and then doubling down on my efforts to convince unregistered voters to register so we can at least take back the house in '26. Short of that, I just don't know what more can be done.
