Today 31 Democrats chose to side with Donald Trump over DC.
We did not ask for this. It will not make us safer. And fueling this fascist president's agenda is dangerous for our entire country. (🧵)

If anyone had said even 5 years ago, there will be a felon as president, an alcoholic newscaster in charge of military, a junky in charge of health, a dog killer in charge of security, and a pedophile in charge of fitness, we would have laughed thinking it's a joke. ☹

Trump seizing D.C. when crime is at a 30-year low isn’t about safety — it’s about the Epstein files.

This is an attempted authoritarian takeover over, but this quick mobilization shows the people of D.C. will NOT HAVE IT.
BREAKING: It’s official. The Trump regime will deploy the National Guard in D.C.
Let’s be clear about what this is.
This is NOT about homelessness or crime.
This is an authoritarian regime using the US military to seize a Democratic city, terrorize its residents, and lock up Black & Brown people.

Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard, ICE, and FBI in D.C. has nothing to do with safety.
In fact, violent crime has hit a 30-year low in D.C.
It’s plain and simple—this is what authoritarians do.
The Trump regime is attempting to instill fear, create propaganda, and consolidate control.

Here’s the bottom line - we need to take power out of Republican hands.
Wherever we can.
However we can.
Independent Dan Osborn can do that in Nebraska.
And WE can help.
There is a real chance to flip a red district, IF the Osborn campaign has the resources. So LFG.
