Making sure you saw Elizabeth Warren's urgent email to you...
ELIZABETH WARREN'S EMAIL:
Donald Trump just announced he is sending paramilitary troops to invade the streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This follows Portland, Oregon where we saw unidentified troops in camouflage accost innocent protestors, beat them, fire shots, and whisk many away without ever identifying themselves. Chicago and other cities are also on Trump's list.
I thought we’d already covered this after the attacks in Lafayette Square: The U.S. government should not be using unidentified federal officers as a secret police force to terrorize Americans and violate their constitutional rights. This is outrageous.
We need accountability. Yesterday, in response to my request, the Justice Department Inspector General announced an investigation of Attorney General William Barr in the "sickening and appalling" attack on peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square in front of the White House.
And my friends at the PCCC have a full-page newspaper ad featuring thousands of veterans agreeing with former Trump Defense Secretary James Mattis, who said, "We must reject any thinking of our cities as a ‘battlespace.'"
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
