Regardless of what Gov. Parson wants to do, the Governor can not violate the Constitution. If the people want to expand Medicare, they also have to vote to fund it as well. It's very simple.

Critics say Parson is subverting the state constitution and the will of the voters who approved a constitutional amendment to expand Medicaid eligibility in August.

It's ironic the Republicans are all for "the will of the people" when it benefits them. But when the will of the people says we should have a fairer redistricting process, Medicaid expansion, or anything involving the initiative petition process, the Republicans disregard the citizens of this state

Other than the GOP, crime in DC has already gone down.

Once again the president is fabricating an emergency to expand his power when all evidence point to the contrary. D.C. is at its lowest crime rate in 30 years there is no emergency that warrants the mobilization of the national guard.

It's just one more step toward martial law and autocracy. Elections and democracy may be a thing of the past here in America.

Another distraction from the Epstein files. Release the files. DC crime rate at a 30 year low. What happened on Jan6 when tRump said he didn’t have the authority to call in the National Guard and blamed the Dems? No peace for tRump until he releases the files.

This is an escalation of implementing Project 2025... start taking over the blue cities and turn them into police states.

DC doesn't need or want intervention. We are not Russia, China, or North Korea. We don't want a heartless dictator or king. Our nation should truly be the land of opportunity.

Zaos Gonzolez

Paying taxes is opportunity.

He is criminalizing homelessness, which should not be a crime. This is the move of an authoritarian wannabe dictator. American military are not and should not be a police force. This is a half-step from groups like the Gestapo and brown shirts.
