Asking A Question Got US Senator Padilla Handcuffed

Listen Later

Congress is reeling after Democratic US Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed – all for the crime of trying to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question. There are lots of moving parts to this story, so to help us understand what happened to the California Senator, we spoke with his counterpart, US Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California.

And in headlines: the US Supreme Court drops some fresh new opinions, the House votes to claw back funds for Daniel Tiger, and President Trump thwarts environmentalism in the Golden State.
