Maβam, you have been writing Pro-Trump nonsense and trying to make it mainstream in USA Today for years.
Our brave elected Democratic leaders, over 80 million Americans, and 12 million #NoKings are STILL holding the line & busting ass every day to stop fascism.
Get on the correct side of history.

Does this mean that Texas needs to be put under federal jurisdiction by Donald Trump and uselessly patrolled 24/7 by the federalized Texan National Guard? Thatβs what they did to D.C. after only one of his minions got his shit rocked (and survived).

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.
Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.

Under the DC Home Rule act, Trump is allowed to federalize DC police during an emergency (which doesnβt exist right now), but only for 48 hours. This can possibly be extended to 30 days with notice to Congress, but itβs also subject to judicial review.

One of the running threads in my current manuscript is the insistence by J. Edgar Hoover and everyone else in the federal government that the FBI had absolutely no role to play in local law enforcement.

Look, in any major city it's always best to travel as part of a group.
But I lived and worked in DC for 10 years, when it was still undergoing its transformation in the early 2000s. I took late night metro rides back from the Hill. I was fine.
This scaremongering is disgusting.

Trump is rushing to build his ballroom. A review process could take years.
The National Capital Planning Commission has taken years to approve much smaller White House projects than a ballroom planned by President Trump.
Trump is rushing to break ground next month on a giant White House ballroom, but has not yet submitted the project for a review that experts said is required by law and often takes years to complete.

D.C. is not a dangerous city.
Nor is L.A.
The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police forceβICE.
They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.
They are the problem.
And we the people are done with them.
