The Republican Party's War Against Democracy

In 2022, Alvin Bragg's first year as District Attorney, shootings in Manhattan were down 20% and homicides down 16%. With larger reductions than New York City's overall crime rate. In the first quarter of 2023, according to newly released NYPD statistics, virtually every major crime category is lower in Manhattan now than it was last year. If you really wanted to support victims of violent crime and strengthen public safety, you'd use your majority to pass national gun safety legislation after the latest horrific tragedies in Tennessee and Kentucky. You would disavow recent talk of defunding the US Department of Justice and the FBI. But they're not going to do that. I mean, this is a scam.
