Call the coup what it is

The Trump/Musk assault on federal programs already funded by Congress is a coup. This is the fulfillment of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

We may not see blood yet, but hundreds of thousands are bound to die because Trump and Musk would rather cut taxes for the wealthy than feed and provide medical care for the indigent at home and abroad.

Be honest with your readers: Call it a coup.
