🔒 Trump is seizing control of the people, one place at a time.
While courts hear challenges to his National Guard takeover in California, he federalizes DC police and deploys troops there despite crime hitting 30-year lows. His allies threaten to “eliminate” 10 more Democratic House seats while immigration detention smashes records with internment camps now holding over 60,000 people, many without due process.
Donald Trump may not have had a grand strategy or code, but he adores absolute power. We have to stop letting him have it.

Today’s Quote
You look at Chicago how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles how bad it is. We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem. And then you have, of course, Baltimore and Oakland. We don’t even mention that anymore they’re so — they’re so far gone. We’re not going to let it happen. We’re not going to lose our cities over this.
And this will go further. We’re starting very strongly with DC, and we’re going to clean it up real quick, very quickly as they say.
– Donald Trump speaking to reporters on August 11.
