And he will demand the DOJ to open “investigations” on DEMS ONLY and the files will never be released. After all, you cannot release documents during an investigation. See how easy it is when one party DICTATES all the rules and procedures. Cannot get any clearer on how DICTATORS come to power!
Oh there are ways they might do an about face. Trump is so blind to who they actually are, that he may unwittingly be bankrupting them and their families. Causing default on mortgages and truck loans. And with these guys, their trucks are a symbol of their manhood. Don't laugh. Automakers have done a good bit of study that this is true. As foul as they are, they are rather simple in more ways than one. And if you stop and think about what Musk and Bezos spend on shooting rockets into space .... well it looks to me that these incomprehensible wealthy men are also rather simple in what drives them, in much the same way. They may hide it behind white supremacy visions of whites only colonies on Mars, but to me it may boil down to rockets are just another symbol of their manhood.
Kay-El, they know President Biden is no longer in office, but when they cannot come up with a plausible reason for the craziness that is the orange man, their go-to is to blame our president! For magas but....but....Biden is a legitimate defense in their eyes!
I read where MTG is hanging on long enough to qualify for her life long pension from the Government, AKA THE TAXPAYERS!🤬 this is just wrong at so many levels!
Padilla had better things to do than to listen to the lies and insults from the immigration subcommittee, I recall Kristi Noem had him attacked and given the bump’s rush from a press conference by her security. As a senator, Alex Padilla had a perfect right to be there and to give his opinion, but apparently Kristi Noem didn’t want to hear anything which disagreed with her fictitious accounts.
Yes, AOC had a great take on the resignation. It's not just the pension, but the millions made through insider trading while in the House. Really a piece of work.
Yes, I am proud of Padilla for stating why he was walking out, too!
And yes, I heard the same thing about MTG's retirement date. of January 5th. It is exactly one day after she will have qualified for her lifetime pension. Will be interesting to see if DJT tries to push her out ahead of that date. He has done such things before to others.
Senator Padilla needs company. His fellow Senators and Congress members should be standing fully with him. The Congressional action to release the Epstein files shows that the fear of Trump is manufactured. Where are the Articles of Impeachment that should have been introduced when Trump threatened members of Congress with execution for enforcing the Constitution? When are our representatives going to grow spines? Are they waiting for us to dress up as Indians and march on the White House to throw him out (see Boston Tea Party)?
Yeah. Robert. I wonder the samething. Our government is so broken. The Constitution would work if both the parties would stop pissing on the porch like puppies. So heartsick.
Very good point Joanne!!! Who does the GOP think will EVER vote for any of them again??? They can gerrymander till the cows come home, but we all see that they are losers!!!
I agree. I write my representatives and senators because if I called them I would probably say terrible things. I am in Missouri. Hawley, Schmidt and Smith. At least Schmidt addresses what I say and tells me why I am wrong. No one stands up. I will remember that when election times comes again.
I wrote a letter to Starbucks CEO telling them that I support the strike and I will never purchase Starbucks again knowing how much they support Trump.
There’s no way Marjorie is leaving politics, even if she did stay in long enough to earn a pension and get rich from insider trading. She will probably run for President in 2028. I still don’t trust her.
Oh, and I want to thank you, Scott, for always putting “News” in quotes after Fox now. Fox “News” is never news. It’s opinion. And they simply ignore what they don’t want to cover. Plus, a judge ruled years ago that they’re not allowed to call themselves News. They are Entertainment only. Not my kind, though.
Bravo for Senator Padilla! The Trump Administration has been pushing the lies and propoganda about ICE on the public and continue to lie to Congressional Committees. Calling people ANTIFA when there is no such organization and calling any touch of an ICE agent an assault is such a gross mischaracterization of anyone who disapproves of ICE tactics should not be tolerated as factual.
I’m very very happy that Padilla walked out on the trash talking assholes in the room that day. We are ALL so ready to walk away from this corrupt administration! Shame on the Orange Turd for throwing Zalenski under the bus again. IMPEACH the BUM FELON
The whole left ICE hearing is a charade. There are no attacks being orchestrated by the left. If anything; they are defending themselves when attacked by ICE thugs.
As far as MTG; the Georgia governor will just appoint another orange monster loyalist to the position. No change is expected.
Good on Padilla! No moral person should be a party to regime tactics. MTG has made her money through insider trading, voting to end healthcare and now timely retires in time for benefits. Well played!
Today we are focused on these three actions:
Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits: https://tinyurl.com/w23tnvxm
Help us push for an investigation into the Epstein scandal HERE: https://tinyurl.com/4pfh2p4f
Pass bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID here: https://tinyurl.com/bp8cau82
The walls are closing in! Trump is in the Epstein files and his signature will release them. Now let's continue to protest in the streets. Here is a No Kings Anthem we can sing together: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-kings-anthem-no-crown-no-throne
But it is IMPERATIVE that we continue the FIGHT AND THE RESISTANCE!
And he will demand the DOJ to open “investigations” on DEMS ONLY and the files will never be released. After all, you cannot release documents during an investigation. See how easy it is when one party DICTATES all the rules and procedures. Cannot get any clearer on how DICTATORS come to power!
Thoseb3 actions should be FRONT and CENTER AND PASSED!!
Our resistance is growing and they can’t stop us!
The People United cannot be defeated! RIBBIT RESIST REPEAT!!
💜💜🐸🐸💪💪
Good for Padilla! He knows first hand what Noem and ICE are up to! Proud of my Senator!
You should be, Carol! He stood for truth and that is so very important today!
Thank you Senator Padilla 👍
The 32% will never blame Trump for anything he does or don’t remember Biden is no longer in office. 🙄
Surprised at 32%
Oh there are ways they might do an about face. Trump is so blind to who they actually are, that he may unwittingly be bankrupting them and their families.

They probably can't even spell approval.

President Biden will always be the bogeyman that bested Trump
So true!
By a million miles! Integrity is a trait that the Trump family and administration is not possible of having.
That and DJT keeps describing Biden in every vile way that comes to his mind, to fill his sick followers with handy words to repeat.
He's addicted to a one-gripe-fits-all by
pointing to _____________ (whoever / Biden all to often).
Blithely passing responsibility for problems and
bragging about anything with a large number.
A record-number can only mean something good to him.
Anything bad is made good, with enough gold-plating.
Made me think of this:

...just wondering, has he bad-mouthed Mayor Mamdani yet?
I stand with Padilla!
I read where MTG is hanging on long enough to qualify for her life long pension from the Government, AKA THE TAXPAYERS!🤬 this is just wrong at so many levels!

Thank you, Sen. Padilla!🐸🐸🐸🐸
Yes, I remember Kristi Noem pretending that she didn't know who he was! Lying comes so easily to these people!!!
Yes, AOC had a great take on the resignation. It's not just the pension, but the millions made through insider trading while in the House. Really a piece of work.
Since mouse corporations did away with their pensions decades ago, it amazes me that the government elected officials still get their pensions.
Don’t be amazed. A pension is worth so much more to retirees than a 401(k) plan.
Yep, five years for benefits. She’ll end up being some high paid lobbyist
Or, I can see her trying to one up The Donald with her own version of something like The Apprentice!!! :-)
Yes, I am proud of Padilla for stating why he was walking out, too!

Seems like it took more than a cup of Starbucks to finally wake up the sleeping giant. Better latte than never!
I wrote a letter to Starbucks CEO telling them that I support the strike and I will never purchase Starbucks again knowing how much they support Trump.
So true, & clever!! 👍🏼😂
Hahaha
🤦♀️
Love it!
Hahahahaha! Good one, Mike!
Thank you Scott for my bright spot 😊
Thank you Alex Padilla!
Thank you Marjorie Taylor Green for standing up for the Epstein Files, and thank you for resigning.
You are a good egg Faith! :-)
Good move by Padilla but he should put forward the democratic plan that solves the immigration issue. The bipartisan one that Trump killed.
How about deporting Miller, Noem, Ice agents, Billionaires,
Those mentioned are citizens. Tough to do.
There’s no way Marjorie is leaving politics, even if she did stay in long enough to earn a pension and get rich from insider trading. She will probably run for President in 2028. I still don’t trust her.

Good reminanother other Joanne!
That was reminder.
I don't either!
Agreed! She is a remarkable actress. See W. Kamau Bell's recent substack on MTG

The Orange Blob has to go NOW!😡😡😡💩🤡

Got to admit it... Marjorie has got me wondering what is under the surface. 🤔
Good on Padilla! No moral person should be a party to regime tactics. MTG has made her money through insider trading, voting to end healthcare and now timely retires in time for benefits. Well played!
Now comes the tell-all book & other self-serving deals & sponsorships.
