John,

Donald Trump has just deployed hundreds of National Guard troops and federal agents to Washington, DC – seizing control of local law enforcement under the false pretense of rising violent crime.

It’s something straight out of an authoritarian playbook:

Checkpoints in Washington, DC Wednesday night

All of this is being driven by Trump’s false narrative of a city in chaos – even as violent crime in DC is down 26% this year and at its lowest level in three decades.

Donald Trump and his allies are actively dismantling democratic safeguards – from deploying troops in our nation’s capital to purging federal agencies of anyone who stands in their way, or simply tells the truth .

That’s why we need to act – now.

With a MAGA-controlled Congress, Democratic Secretaries of State and state-level leaders are our last firewall against this assault on democracy. Will you chip in $3 right now to help DASS fight back against Trump’s authoritarian takeover? [[link removed]]
