DOJ lawyer called failure to comply with statute requiring activation of National Guard “through” the governor a “foot fault.” Cringe. I’d call that argument an unforced error. No surprise the judge ended up waving around a pocket copy of the Constitution. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Turns out blowing off the requirement to activate the National Guard “through” a state’s governor is more than a “foot fault,” as DOJ lawyer argued. It is illegal.

What's needed in LA is de-escalation & for Trump to return California National Guard control to the state ASAP. And for $134 million, we could feed more than half of the 140,000 Pennsylvanians who would lose SNAP because of the Republicans’ #ReverseRobinHood budget.

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.

You just stand up for people who are more in danger than you. You just do it. It could be a self-interest thing, that you realize that someday you will be the one in danger. But it’s even more important to do it if that’s never true. You just do it because humans are worth standing up for.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.
