The New York Times: Donald Trump Says He'll 'Deploy National Guard to Washington and Take Control of D.C. Police'

URGENT POLL: Donald Trump is threatening a federal takeover of our nation’s capital. Now, we need to know where you stand on D.C. statehood before 11:59 PM TONIGHT.

Do you support statehood for Washington, D.C?

YES »

NO »

UNSURE »

Washington, D.C. is the political heart of our nation — but the 700,000+ people who call it home have ZERO voting representation in Congress.

No Senators. No Representatives. No voice in the laws that govern them.

And now, Donald Trump is trying to seize control of D.C.’s police force, deploy the National Guard, and strip away what little autonomy the city has.

That’s why grassroots activists are calling for Washington, D.C. to become our 51st state.

Because without it, the city will always be at risk of political power grabs, where the leaders are overruled, the residents are silenced, and the future is decided by people who don’t even live there.

But first, we need to know what our Democratic supporters think of this idea. So, will you please respond to our one-click poll before midnight tonight?
