HERBERT! WE NEED YOU TO SEE THIS:

The Trump administration just HANDCUFFED and DETAINED Democratic Senator Alex Padilla ↙↙↙

Alex Padilla being forcibly removed from DHS press conference

SIGN ASAP: I STAND WITH SENATOR ALEX PADILLA >>

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, HERBERT!

Trump and his MAGA minions are silencing anyone who dares to question them.

So we need EVERYONE reading this email to sign our petition RIGHT NOW to stand with Senator Alex Padilla and Democratic leaders nationwide. >>

SIGN ASAP: I STAND WITH SENATOR ALEX PADILLA >>

Here’s what Trump and his MAGA thugs have been up to this week, Herbert:

ON MONDAY → Trump threatened to ARREST Governor Gavin Newsom, as well as “anyone who obstructed enforcement efforts” in California.

ON TUESDAY → Representative LaMonica McIver was INDICTED for observing ICE facilities (a task all members of Congress are explicitly authorized to do).

AND JUST NOW → Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed, handcuffed, and detained at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference for questioning the Trump administration’s latest ICE operations.

So U.S. Senator Adam Schiff is speaking out!

Adam Schiff: The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving [Senator Padilla] out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation. He will not be silenced or intimidated... I’m with Alex.”

It’s time we take a stand against the MAGA movement. Will you please co-sign our petition and stand with heroic leaders like Gov. Newsom, Rep. McIver, and Sen. Padilla? >>

SIGN ASAP: I STAND WITH SENATOR ALEX PADILLA >>

We can’t sit back and watch our democracy crumble, Herbert – SIGN NOW >>

Herbert, thank you for supporting our mission here at Elect Southern Democrats! With your help, we were able to turn out tens of thousands of Democrats in the 2024 election, helping flip Southern seats from red to blue.

Now, we’re mobilizing to boost more Democrats across the South to victory – who will advance inclusive policies that address racial justice, social equity, and economic opportunity, and help take back our majorities in 2026.
