Breakthrough the noise:

This step in DC is a pilot project for militarizing other American streets.

President Trump just said so.⬇️

Even when DC violent crime is down 26 percent.

There are 44 Senators on the #DCStatehood bill presently. Only Dem caucusing Senators Ossoff, Kelly, & King are NOT cosponsoring S. 51. If you live in Georgia, Arizona, or Maine, today's a good day to call them and TELL them to cosponsor the #DCStatehood bill: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The Constitution is fair game tho

It's critical that mainstream media adds facts and context to headlines, social posts and news stories about Trump's militarization of DC. This from @nbcnews.com is a fail: There's no mention at all that Trump's claims are not supported by evidence. Crime is down in DC. He is lying. Say that.

🙄🙄

Yes it is!👇

Liar Liar

Crazy how the guy on the Epstein list is also the guy making sure you never see it.

If we can afford to put all those "criminals" in jail, we can afford to put all those "homeless" people in housing.

“We know what is happening in Gaza. We know because of the journalists who have documented the attacks at aid stations, who have filmed the starving children and the bombed hospitals, and who are now recording their own demise.” ⬇️

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

A would be tyrant is sending troops into our streets. What we are living through is no less dramatic or dangerous than that.

Absolutely wild to me that Cuomo—whose apartment is 4x the cost of mandani's—thinks this is a good line of attack

He resigned the governor’s office in disgrace and currently holds no office.

Where is he going to propose this little law? A Panera on Long Island?
