Normalizing the use of military troops for domestic law enforcement sets a dangerous precedent.
No President should be empowered to disregard states’ independence and deploy troops anywhere — with no check on their military power.
This federal overreach is not normal or legal.

"The line snaked out the door, down the sidewalk, into the parking lot — men and women and children and the elderly, hundreds of DC residents who arrived at the city’s family resource center for a shot at emergency rental aid."
Hundreds of struggling renters in nation’s capital line up to ask for help
Many had lost jobs and fallen behind on rent. But D.C.’s emergency rental aid program is limited after major budget cuts.

This week the House is set to vote on two bills targeting D.C.'s criminal justice laws. One would repeal a 2020 city law that imposed new training, discipline, and disclosure standards on police. The other would bring cash bail back to D.C. 30 years after it was eliminated.
We stand united against all 13 anti–DC Home Rule bills in Congress.
DC is home to more than 700,000 residents who pay taxes, run businesses, and serve in the military. Like all Americans, we deserve the right to set our own local laws.
Congress should reject this unprecedented federal overreach.

The House bill being voted on today to require cash bail in DC is insane.
DC hasn’t had cash bail since 1992, and crime has plummeted since.
Our current system is near identical to federal law.
People should be held pretrial if they pose a safety risk — not because they are too poor to pay bail.
