Trump's unprecedented takeover of D.C. police comes as crime is down, figures show The move has already caused confusion among federal agents tasked with tackling local crime. "No one knows who is in charge or what they're supposed to do," one official said.
Washington, D.C. is not just the government. There are over 700,000 people just like you who call it home. All people have the right to live in safe, peaceful neighborhoods. 
But Donald Trump doesnβt care about other people, and he doesn't care about keeping other people safe.

EDITOR'S NOTE: We have updated our story on Anne Frank to say that she actually died of typhus, and not from the Nazis putting her in a concentration camp. We regret the error and will find the filthy rat who dared to suggest the Nazis had anything to do with her death.

Victories are to be savored- to be sure- but not taken for granted. The law is not necessarily a one-way ratchet. It takes work to secure wins and just as much to keep them.
