This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime, John:
In case you missed it yesterday, California Senator Alex Padilla confronted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with questions at a press conference.
Federal agents shoved him out of the room. They threw a sitting U.S. Senator to the ground and put him in handcuffs — all for trying to ask a question about what’s happening in the state he represents. And now, the GOP is even gaslighting the American people about how it all went down.
Donald Trump’s administration is brazenly undermining the very principles our nation was founded upon — freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and so much more.
They are attacking anyone who disagrees with them. Everyday Americans, sitting U.S. Senators, any person who shows any kind of dissent could be at risk of being targeted with this kind of political attack.
These are obvious and deeply dangerous steps toward authoritarianism, John, and we urgently need your help to fight back against it.
