Add your name now: Tell Congress to reject Trump’s DC takeover before it spreads to other cities. >>
Friend,
Trump is no longer hiding it. He is using the power of the presidency to stage an armed takeover of Washington, DC.
Six Republican governors – from Tennessee, Louisiana, Ohio, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Mississippi – have sent their National Guard troops into DC. This is not about public safety. It’s about flooding our streets with soldiers to intimidate and control.[1]
And Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has now authorized those troops to carry weapons. Armed soldiers patrolling our neighborhoods – in our nation’s capital.[2]
Trump is openly threatening a full federal takeover of the DC Police Department. And he’s making clear that DC is just the beginning. He has already floated federal takeovers in cities all across the United States.[3]
This is authoritarianism unfolding in real time. It’s a test run for how far Trump can go. And if Congress doesn’t stop him, he WILL take it further.
Trump’s playbook is clear: deploy armed troops, silence local communities, and consolidate control. If Congress fails to act, this will not stop at DC.
That’s why your voice is needed. Add it now, before Trump escalates even further.
In solidarity,
— People For the American Way
