Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump conducted an unlawful strike off the coast of Venezuela, killing all 11 passengers aboard a boat he claims was carrying drugs. Yet, he has failed to provide Congress with any intelligence about the boat’s supposed threat or his legal justification for this deadly strike.
Minnesota Congresswoman and Squad member Ilhan Omar will join Mehdi LIVE on Substack and YouTube at 12:45pm ET / 9:45am PT / 5:45pm UK time to discuss her War Powers Resolution, which would stop the Trump administration from conducting any future strikes. The two will be taking audience questions.
Plus, they will also address the rise of political violence in the US following the shocking murders of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk on Wednesday and Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman in June.
Join Rep. Ilhan Omar and Mehdi live on YouTube, at Zeteo.com, and on the Substack app. We’ll see you there!

How do we navigate a space where the Right automatically calls for war when these tragic events occur, even though it is the people on Right committing most, if not all of the violence? How do we show empathy to them when they show NO empathy for us? Why is it that WE have to always be the ones calling for peace when no one on that side ever does... except, of course.. for the peace that comes from desolation,..
It's always worth listening to what Ilhan has to say.
You shouldn't presume that Kirk's killing is a symptom of "rising political violence," though. "Political violence" implies a far less organized manner of hostility.
An expert sniper is a highly organized hit; not someone spazzing out, because they can't stand his bullshit anymore.
