Kristi Noem went to Los Angeles to help this Administration inflame and escalate a problem they are causing.
Now she has the audacity to condone violence against a United States Senator for daring to ask her a question in his state. This is beyond the pale.

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant.
The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace.
Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable.
No one is above the law.
I support restoring a nuclear deal to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons – no matter who is president, and diplomacy is the right way to do that.
Israel should not bomb Iran, and American foreign policy must be directed at doing everything possible to prevent war.

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing?
BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial
BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir
BESSENT: Job growth is solid
BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir
Under questioning from @replindasanchez.bsky.social, Secretary Bessent just testified under oath to @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social that "we are in the midst of constructing" this "deal" with China.
Very much at odds with what the Administration is saying elsewhere.
We are a nation of immigrants, and I stand with everyone peacefully standing up for our immigrant neighbors and defending our values from the Trump Administration's bigotry, nativism, and racism.

Trump's use of the military in LA is illegal—he said so himself. He wants violence and escalation, and doesn't care who gets hurt. He loves to emulate authoritarians, and the way he's doing that now is very dangerous. Everyone who cares about the rule of law should oppose it.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres
The Trump Administration’s decision to rescind this guidance, which helps save pregnant women’s lives, will only deny women of critical health care and put their lives at needless risk.
We will continue to fight to protect essential health care.

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies.

They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.
We must pass our NO BAN Act to make clear that neither racism nor religious intolerance are acceptable barriers to lawful immigration.
Our immigration system should not be hijacked by hatred and racism, and our bill would stop this from happening.

I #WearOrange on Gun Violence Awareness Day to draw attention to this uniquely American crisis that claims lives every single day.
Thoughts and prayers are not enough – we need the political will to enact policy change that will end gun violence and save American lives.

16 million Americans losing health coverage.
The biggest cut to Medicaid in history.
Higher health, energy, and housing costs.
Tax cuts for billionaires, tax hikes for working people.
$3 trillion added to the national debt.
The Republican bill is a “disgusting abomination.”
Not content with the biggest cut to Medicaid in its history, Republicans are now looking to fund tax breaks for billionaires by cutting Medicare.

This policy will separate families, including many I represent. And with Trump’s assault on asylum and refugees, it will intentionally put people at deadly risk.
The true rationale isn’t security, it’s racism. Our NO BAN Act, led by @chu.house.gov, would stop it.
From his first Muslim Ban, Trump’s travel bans have always betrayed of the ideals and values that inspired America’s Founders.
Trump’s use of prejudice and bigotry to bar people from entering the U.S. does not make us safer, it just divides us and weakens our global leadership.
