Maggie explores the importance of knowing your rights during protests, including guidance from veterans on how to safely interact with National Guard troops. She contrasts Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed “war hero” status with the real courage of people like Officer Daniel Hodges, who defended the Capitol on January 6. She also covers breaking news on California’s redistricting efforts and a Supreme Court ruling impacting NIH grants. Maggie challenges all of us to reflect on America’s shifting understanding of heroism—and the troubling bravado of Trump, a draft dodger who dismisses true sacrifice. The call is clear: honor real heroes, not hollow claims.
