Donald Trump has ordered an unprecedented federal takeover of D.C.'s Police Department — and now he's pouring federal and National Guard troops to the streets of the nation's capital.
This is not about safety. DC crime rates are at a thirty year low. This is about power. And a wannabe dictator who is trying to seize it for life.
This is an attack on democracy — and a dangerous step toward authoritarian rule. Demand that Trump reverse these moves, or that Congress use its power to do it for him.
