Word

POGOOur democracy is coming undone.

Before this year, it would be unfathomable to imagine a president deploying armed troops into city streets saying they should be “training grounds for our military.” 

In 2025, the administration tried to make this a new normal.

In a democracy, the military is charged with protecting national security — not acting as the president’s personal police force. The law prohibits a president from using the military as police on domestic soil, with an exception made only for the most dire emergency circumstances.
