Omar called the sitting president an “unhinged lunatic” — while U.S. forces are in an active standoff with Iran. She was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for antisemitism — and still lectures on who’s fit to conduct foreign policy. Omar opposed the Soleimani strike. Opposed maximum pressure. Opposed the Iran Deal withdrawal. The pattern is 100%. A bipartisan House vote stripped her from the committee that oversees Iran policy. Tehran noticed. They always do. There’s a pattern here. It isn’t subtle. Every time Trump exercises American power against Iran — maximum pressure sanctions, the Soleimani strike, the current confrontation — the same Democrats line up to undermine him. Not after the fact. Not in quiet dissent. Publicly, loudly, at the exact moment adversaries are watching most closely. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) delivered the latest installment Monday, calling the sitting president an “unhinged lunatic” and demanding his removal from office while the United States is in an active standoff with Tehran. This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove. This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office. pic.twitter.com/yoprhvqOE8 — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) April 6, 2026 Think about the timing. Iran’s government is watching every signal coming out of Washington right now. Every crack in American resolve is an asset to them. And Omar handed them one — gift-wrapped. This is the same Ilhan Omar who defended the Iran nuclear deal, opposed the Soleimani strike, and has consistently preferred the outcome that the Iranian regime prefers whenever Trump is the one making the call. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a record. It’s also worth remembering how she lost her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Republicans moved to remove her in 2023 — and enough Democrats voted with them to make it happen — because of a documented pattern of antisemitic remarks. The committee that oversees American engagement with the Middle East. Gone. She was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for antisemitism — and she still thinks she gets to decide who’s fit to conduct American foreign policy. Hamilton understood why this matters. In Federalist No. 75, he argued that foreign policy requires unified executive judgment precisely because divided counsel invites exploitation by adversaries. “The history of human conduct,” he wrote, does not justify trusting interests “of so delicate and momentous a kind” — America’s dealings with the rest of the world — to fractured, competing voices. Hamilton was talking about structural design. But the principle applies directly to what Omar did Monday: a sitting congresswoman, during an active confrontation with a hostile regime, publicly calling for the removal of the commander-in-chief. Tehran noticed. They always do. Omar has every legal right to say what she said. The First Amendment is not in question here. What’s in question is the judgment of a legislator who looks at an escalating standoff with Iran and decides her most urgent priority is scoring points against a president she despises. That’s not dissent. That’s not oversight. That’s choosing a side — and it isn’t ours.

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird won an Eighth Circuit ruling on April 4, 2026, throwing out two lower-court orders that had blocked Iowa’s parental-rights education law A federal district judge had ruled part of the law was too vague to enforce — the appeals court disagreed and overruled him Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed the law in 2023 with Republican majorities in both chambers, restricting gender identity and sexual orientation instruction in K-6 classrooms and removing books depicting sex acts from school libraries Teachers’ unions, publishers, authors, and LGBTQ activists spent three years in court trying to kill the law — the appeals court just set those challenges back The law is now fully enforceable while the lawsuit continues Iowa won. On April 4, 2026, a three-judge federal appeals panel threw out two lower-court orders that had been blocking Iowa’s parental-rights education law. Both blocks are gone. The law is fully enforceable now. Here’s what was at stake. Iowa’s law stops mandatory instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through sixth grade — children ages 5 to 12. It also removes books depicting specific sex acts from school libraries. Not from public libraries. Not from bookstores. From school libraries serving children. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed the law in 2023 with Republican majorities in both chambers. The moment it passed, teachers’ unions, publishers, authors, and LGBTQ activists sued to kill it. A federal district judge sided with them, ruling part of the law was too vague to enforce. The Eighth Circuit looked at the same law and disagreed — throwing out both court orders that had kept the law blocked for three years. Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird fought it all the way through. “Parents should always know that school is a safe place for their children to learn,” Bird said, “not be concerned they are being indoctrinated with inappropriate sexual materials and philosophies.” Both provisions are now back in force: the classroom instruction restriction and the library book removal. The case continues in district court, but the law applies while it does. Here’s what three years of litigation looked like for Iowa parents: they were told by advocacy groups, teachers’ unions, and sympathetic federal judges that they were wrong — legally, morally, constitutionally wrong — to expect the state to back them up on what five-year-olds learn in school. The Eighth Circuit just confirmed they weren’t wrong at all. Three years of being called bigots for holding a position a federal appellate court just validated. The parents of Iowa didn’t change their minds. The court caught up to them. This was never a close constitutional call. States set curriculum. States run school libraries. When a federal judge substitutes his own judgment for that of Iowa’s elected legislature, that’s structural overreach — exactly what the Tenth Amendment was written to stop. The Eighth Circuit corrected it. The Founders’ View “The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.” — Madison, Federalist No. 45 Education of young children is exactly the intimate, local governance Madison described as belonging to states — not to federal judges or national advocacy organizations.
