Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday and briefly detained after trying to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,” Padilla said to Noem, which prompted several men to physically push him out of the room. It was unclear who the men were as several were dressed in plainclothes.

Can we move the implementation from Friday to Thursday? Answer, yes.

apparently every first Thursday now there is a hoedown on the street outside my office and we are revitalizing downtown San Francisco with lots of cowboy hats and a mechanical bull 🐂 (I will not be trying it).
Apparently I just signed for a package from UPS that was supposed to be delivered on Thursday of last week. I haven't been downstairs yet today. Lying fucking pieces of shit.
