Trump can call the National Guard to respond to record low crime rates in DC when people are saying he is a pedophile & best friend of the most notorious pedophile of all time, but he couldnβt figure it out when a violent mob was destroying the Capitol (caused >$30M damages) & trying to hang his VPβ¦

Federal Harms Tracker -Cost to Your Government
A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working towards effective government for the American people.
"This campaign to weaken the federal civil service has targeted the very people who keep our government running and provide essential services that we all rely on ... . Of the roughly 2.3 million employees who make up the civilian workforce, more than 80% work outside the Washington, D.C., area."

Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children.
The Congressional GOP is unified behind him.

And in doing so, I ended up tracking (perhaps closer than anyone) the careers of Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, and Vinay Prasad.

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch
On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest β the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.
The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state
