We have said consistently that the Guard should not be here. It is unsafe for both members of the Guard and communities.
Our deepest condolences go to the two West Virginia families who will now spend this season mourning the loss of loved ones who died while deployed unnecessarily.

Trump's militarization of DC is not about safety.
It's about suppressing Black leadership, stopping Black progress & criminalizing Black & brown youth.
If Republicans actually cared about safety, they'd invest in prevention, mental health, & community-based supports that keep people safe. #FreeDC

Congressional Democrats voted today to sell out Washington DC and their constituents, as numerous Dems backed bills advancing the Trump takeover of DC. After meeting with our Council and saying nice things, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and leadership *declined* to whip a No vote on the bills

West Virginia Governor says he’s deploying WV National Guard to Washington DC
He says they’ll be “providing mission-essential equipment, specialized training, and approximately 300-400 skilled personnel as directed. The mission will be funded at the federal level.”

We are seeing in real time why DC needs the full power and protection of statehood.
Deploying the National Guard to a state without a request from state leaders is unlawful.
The fact that he could do it in the capital city is a massive vulnerability to our entire national democracy.

DC statehood shows Dem weakness goes back a while.
Occasional lip service, but barely even that, and effectively took the stance that hundreds of thousands of US citizens should be disenfranchised because it’s unfair that they’d elect Dem Senators, which would make the Senate less disproportionate.

The District of Columbia is under attack today — not from violent gangs or thieves, but by the President of the United States.
The President's weaponization of the Home Rule Act is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it.

Senate Judiciary Committee Dems note tonight that despite reports to the contrary, the panel did NOT okay the nomination of Jeanine Pirro to serve as the DC US attorney, and other US Attorney noms Thurs. Dems walked out. Republicans voted without them, but they lacked a quorum, so it didn't count.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Hey.
Two-thirds of people DON'T KNOW what's in Trump's budget bill, even though it will affect all of us. Polls show when people know what's in it, they don't want Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
So let's make sure more people know what's in it 🧵

The House Committee on Rules is meeting now to discuss three bills that would interfere in DC in different ways.
DC residents oppose these and ALL attempts to interfere in our local government. Earlier today we delivered the following letter to members of the Committee.
