A sitting member of Congress is attacked in public, the rhetoric gets darker, and the federal response keeps raising more questions than answers. We break down the assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar at a Minneapolis town hall, the viral footage from multiple angles, and the political climate surrounding it — including Trump’s latest comments targeting immigrants and Rep. Omar herself.
Then we zoom out: renewed scrutiny of not just Rep. Omar’s finances, but the broader hypocrisy around congressional stock trading, money making, and how enforcement seems to shift depending on who’s in the crosshairs. We dig into the shooting of Alex Pretti, the misleading claims pushed by Stephen Miller, internal GOP blame-shifting, and growing backlash inside Trump’s own party — including sharp words from Sen. Thom Tillis. Finally, we look at Minnesota police deploying a military-grade LRAD “sound cannon” against protesters, what it does, why it’s controversial, and what it signals about how dissent is being handled right now.
