Trump just announced a federal takeover of DC’s police, deploying 800 National Guard troops and putting the city’s law enforcement under federal control citing crime concerns despite data showing violent crime is at a 30-year low.

And, he's ALREADY naming other cities where he plans to do the same.

The AI chatbot told users that Trump was the most notorious criminal in the city "based on convictions and notoriety."

Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States.

D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

BANNON on Trump’s D.C. takeover: “I hope this is a template for Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.” 🤔

(Reminder: This is an authoritarian power grab to distract from his Epstein cover-up)

The real materials: Epstein files

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics…

#ICYMI: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

“I’ve lived here almost 50 years— The most violent moment was January 6th 2021 when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone involved.”

Those Epstein files must be wild

But…the savings?

Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.

Nice work, @msnbc.com — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

the federal troops/LEOs are going to end up almost entirely deployed in *low* crime areas I suspect, because it's largely going to be about performing for the autocrat and his cronies in places they see. if you're a city reporter I would go to literal Dupont Circle as a test for what this looks ...

The call has always been coming from inside the house…

US multinationals like McDonald's, Coca Cola, Amazon, and Apple are facing boycotts in India as business leaders and PM Narendra Modi's supporters fuel anti-American sentiment over US tariffs, Reuters reports.

First, the troops came to LA to attack and disappear the peaceful protesters.

Then, the troops came to DC to attack and disappear the peaceful homeless.

If America falls, it will be because of the people who weren’t paying attention — and didn’t take that damn poem seriously.

As scary a press conference as I have ever seen

Completely divorced from reality or anything that has to do with criminal justice or reality or American democracy
