As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.

Don't worry RFK Jr didn't meet with any CDC staff during his visit today. We were left out of his drop-in. Only a few high level leadership were with him today. He didn't even stop to talk to the staff who were outside at the memorial for Officer Rose.

VOTEVETS RESPONDS TO TRUMP'S โHORRIFYING MISUSEโ OF THE NATIONAL GUARD IN DC
"The National Guard, when federalized, is no different from the active force. As a retired Soldier, I am calling this out for what it is - and what others who have served surely recognize - a horrifying misuse of our military.
"Using the National Guard has become a pattern for Trump. This isn't the first time or city we've seen this tactic used, we but it needs to be the last.. Using the military to create political theater as a means of distraction is nothing more than intimidation. Make no mistake - the deployment of active duty Marines and federalized California National duty Marines and rede Guard in Los Angeles was blatant political intimidation, as well.
"Right now, Republicans are lying about abysmal job numbers and trying to gerrymander Texas because they can't run on their record. The National Guard should not be called upon to pose for photographs and intimidate residents to make Trump look tough on crime.
"Trump himself refused to activate the Guard when our Capitol was under attack; he should be embarrassed he is activating them now - specifically in blue state cities - to be the shiny object during an already failed presidency."

The murder rate is on track to be the lowest in U.S. history due to President Bidenโs executive actions & Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (signed into law on 2022 after Uvalde & Buffalo) that included community violence intervention programs. The Trump administration had nothing to do with it!

3/Trumpโs complaints about crime in D.C. are false. And itโs more than just the lie about crime: He declined to deploy the Guard on Jan 6โwhen doing so would have been appropriate, claiming he lacked that power. Yet now, he has suddenly, and without a valid reason, ordered the troops to mobilize.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024.
It reveals that vaccinations didnโt JUST protect against illness.
They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

๐จ Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday.
โข For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there.
โข Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles.
This is what cities under siege look like.

Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Techโs energy-hungry data centers.
