Today’s show centers on the politically motivated assassination of Minnesota Representative Melissa Hortman and the coordinated attacks that left State Senator John Hoffman and his wife wounded.  The attacks cast a heavy shadow over nationwide “No Kings Day” protests opposing former President Trump’s military parade, with rallies from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sheriff Wayne Ivey issued open threats against demonstrators, while in cities like L.A., law enforcement clashed violently with peaceful protestors, drawing condemnation and chaos. The show captures a nation on edge—grappling with political violence, rising authoritarian rhetoric, and a deepening democratic crisis.
