New in PN: Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.

"The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."
Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.
Random street crimes are being used as pretexts for repression.

Trump just ordered homeless people to leave Washington DC "IMMEDIATELY" and be shipped "far from the Capital." Violent crime is down 26% but facts don't matter when you need a scapegoat for your authoritarian power grab. Meanwhile he’s rolling troops in.

Crime is at a 30-year low in D.C.

The Trump regime is lying to create a police state and consolidate power over the country.
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.

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.

Private equity promised “high returns.”

The reality? High risk, low returns, and costly fees.

Now, Trump wants to open your retirement to this mess.

Recurring applications for unemployment benefits surged to the highest since November 2021, adding to recent signs that the labor market is weakening. So in a nutshell, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for sharing data that was the truth.
