“President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
For the record, we had armed troops in LA in June, car windows were smashed and people pulled from their vehicles, and Americans were thrown on the ground and arrested for complaining, and now Trump is trying to get SCOTUS to say it’s ok to grab all Spanish-speaking manual laborers in So California.

GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL * * Brian Schwalb Attorney General August 14, 2025 OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Re: Legal Effect of U.S. Attorney General Order 6370-2025, "Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia" Pamela A. Smith Chief of Police Metropolitan Police Department Executive Office of the Chief of Police 441 4th Street, NW | Washington, DC 20001 Dear Chief Smith: I have reviewed Order No. 6370-2025 (Bondi Order), "Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia," issued late this evening by United States Attorney General Pamela Bondi. The Bondi Order purports to vest all powers and duties of the Chief of Police in Drug Enforcement Administrator Terrence C. Cole as "Emergency Police Commissioner" of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). It also purports to rescind MPD Executive Order EO-25-005, as well as suspend provisions of General Orders GO-PER-201.26 and GO-PCA-702.01. It further directs MPD to enforce District laws and regulations pertaining to unlawful occupancy of public spaces and to rescind any MPD directives that conflict with any provision of the Bondi Order. It is my opinion that the Bondi Order is unlawful, and that you are not legally obligated to follow it. Section 740 of the Home Rule Act provides the President with the authority to direct the Mayor to provide services of the Metropolitan Police Department in order to address special circumstances of an emergency nature and for federal purposes. It does not authorize the President, or his delegee, to remove or replace the Chief of Police; to alter the chain of command within MPD; to demand services directly from you, MPD, or anyone other than the Mayor; to rescind or suspend MPD orders or directives; or to set the general enforcement priorities of MPD or otherwise determine how the District pursues purely local law enforcement. The Bondi Order is, therefore, ultra vires. In addition, the Home Rule Act vests the executi…

D.C. Code § 5-127.03. Having been duly appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Council, you are the lawfully appointed Chief of Police of the District of Columbia. Therefore, members of MPD must continue to follow your orders and not the orders of any official not appointed by the Mayor. Regardless of the Bondi Order, no official other than you may exercise all the powers and duties of the Chief of Police or issue any executive orders, general orders, or other written directives that apply to members of MPD. Sincerely, Balle Brian L. Schwalb Attorney General for the District of Columbia 2

The Arizona Republic reported that tourism to the Grand Canyon has nose-dived, and it’s not just because of the Dragon Bravo fire—which is miles from the South Rim. European reservations plummeted after Trump and Vance’s shouting match
with Zelensky in the Oval Office in February.
Since Trump sounds like he has plans for DC, it’s worth noting that today marks a month since the Interior Department, under Mr Beautification’s watch, lost control of its ‘containment’ plan for the Grand Canyon fire. It’s still burning, and at 140k+ acres, is the largest wildfire in the country.
