We carry on the fight

A coup is not a “typical tourist visit”

Suzan DelBene for Congress John, Treasonous and "anti-American" – no, those weren't the words used to describe the violent political coup staged by the far right on January 6th, 2021. Those were the words House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, used to describe the committee investi…
