Fight back against Trump’s attacks on our democracy before it’s too late.
John,
In case you missed it, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was manhandled and handcuffed at a Trump administration press conference this week.
Soon after, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and much of the MAGA crowd tried to spin the situation, claiming that Sen. Padilla failed to identify himself and lunged at the podium.
Video of the incident clearly proves otherwise, which is probably why security tried telling Padilla’s staff to stop recording, claiming it wasn’t allowed at a press conference… filled with cameras.
And this wasn’t just a one-off occurrence. At this point, President Trump and his far-right administration have arrested a federal judge, a mayor, a U.S. House member, and a union leader. They’ve been threatening to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom all week, and now they did this to a Senator who was only trying to do his job and get answers for his constituents.
There’s no question about it: this is part of a larger pattern of Trump and his MAGA loyalists persecuting their political opponents, the kind of thing done in a fascist dictatorship.
We can’t let them get away with this and continue attacking our Democratic institutions: fight back now with a grassroots contribution of $5 →
