President Trump is placing our nation’s capital under a phony state of emergency, federalizing the local police department, and putting his disgraced Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in charge of it all of it. And just like when he deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles, he’s doing so over the wishes of residents and their elected leaders – fearmongering about crime (though it’s at a 30-year low) to justify this latest trampling of D.C.’s right to home rule. Despite D.C. residents paying more in total federal income tax than those in 22 other states, they do not get a voting representative in Congress – that’s over 700,000 people without a real say in the federal laws they have to live under like everyone else. And now, he’s trying to single-handedly impose “tough on crime” policies that D.C. voters have repeatedly rejected at the ballot box – all to draw attention away from his own failed, destructive, and unpopular agenda. This needs to stop. People who live in the District of Columbia deserve the same rights and same voice in our future as everyone else. Add your name today >>
