Prioritizing special interests over citizens is proving to be what has been happening. Now we see it doesn't need to be that way. Make America Safe Again!!!

So, in DC alone, we are spending 1 million a day to have soldiers just hang around the place, yet, we are concerned about spending money to feed children in schools, or helping the homeless...

You misspelled “illegally deploying the military with false pretense of a nonexistent emergency to promote his fascist agenda” as “crime crackdown”

DC and LA were test cases for the tRump Regimes reign of terror plan for more US cities. The DOGE Gestapo raid on Government Agencies was a smoke screen; "Saving Money" has already seen a net loss- Military Ego parades and Ballrooms; "fired" government workers still getting paid; All to steal Info.
