I want the DC invasion to stop. This military occupation is costing taxpayers money, destroying commerce for DC businesses and terrifying the populace. And to what end? Crime in DC is already down. Crime is, in fact, much higher in several Republican-led cities (https://substack.com/redirect/232bf772-da96-43bb-aaba-2ed22ba1c923?j=eyJ1IjoiNDl0YnIifQ.vDiLZfK6vOtHbXaLEJWvwpXYuWxLRfcWJMg0Vly4OnQ). And if Trump really cared about crime why did he slash DC’s federal security funding (https://substack.com/redirect/8f4bb11e-28e3-46ce-969e-6639c90ce600?j=eyJ1IjoiNDl0YnIifQ.vDiLZfK6vOtHbXaLEJWvwpXYuWxLRfcWJMg0Vly4OnQ) by 44%? This isn’t about crime. It’s Trump’s effort to distract Americans from Epstein, our terrible economy, and Trump’s miserable polling numbers. Congress needs to stop it. Thanks. Also, has the Senator yet called for Texas lawmaker Nicole Collier to be released? If not s/he should. We live in a democracy. To detain a representative in her office because she won’t sign a permission slip is insane. Thanks.
