On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

As the tariffs created chaos for working families and businesses, members of Congress with insider info were trading stocks and profiting from the turmoil. This is infuriating. It’s past time that we ban members of Congress from trading stocks. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/p...

Can't believe Joni Ernst needs this explained to her, but here goes: It is immoral and un-Christian to do nothing to prevent people from dying. Seems obvious, but unfortunately the GOP is hellbent on putting their own constituents at risk.
