California senator @senalexpadilla physically dragged off for trying to ask Kristi Noem a question…
They shoved, pinned, and handcuffed @SenAlexPadilla—for asking a question to protect his community. A sitting U.S. Senator.
This isn’t public safety—it’s raw abuse of power and unacceptable.

It is no secret that I stand with @SenAlexPadilla and believe the use of force against him last week was unlawful and unncessary. I wrote to Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune letting them know that his forcible removal may constitute assault on a sitting Senator.

This is outrageous @SenAlexPadilla was doing his job, asking questions at a press conference, and he was dragged out in handcuffs. This is not just inappropriate. It is authoritarian behavior. Disgusting, dangerous, and completely unacceptable.

Thank you to @SenAlexPadilla for blocking an attempt to pass the SAVE Act today.
Padilla blasted the bill, which could block millions of eligible new voters, married women, rural voters, servicemembers, and people of color from voting.

@RepJimCosta, @SenAdamSchiff, @SenAlexPadilla, and I are demanding an end to the proposed Yosemite land transfer. Our public lands belong to the American people - not the highest bidder, not political insiders, and certainly not Donald Trump.

I like how snarky @senalexpadilla is in this letter to Hegsetg
“As I’m sure the
Administration is aware, the rivers into which this water was released do not actually flow into Los Angeles.”
I don’t expect he gets a response, but I will look forward to the fallout from him not getting one.

Our public lands are not up for grabs.
Trump wants to abolish the Chuckwalla and Sáttítla National Monuments, in yet another thinly veiled attack on California.
We’re not going to let him get away with it.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

.@SenAlexPadilla was my @AspenInstitute Rodel classmate.He’s one of the kindest & most thoughtful person I know. If this can happen to a US Senator for merely asking a question at a press conference, how are other people being treated. We are the USA not an authoritarian country.
