Trump's Washington, DC, takeover begins as National Guard troops arrive

Washington's mayor and police chief have gone to the Justice Department to meet with the attorney general as President Donald Trump's federal takeover of the city's law enforcement begins.

Some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by President Donald Trump began arriving in the nation’s capital on Tuesday, ramping up after the White House ordered federal forces to take over the city’s police department and reduce crime in what the president called — without substantiation — a lawless city.

This isn’t a fucking distraction, this is the fascist takeover of our nation’s capital for fuck sake.

This is a test case for the future of every blue city in this country.

We need to keep the Epstein shit in the news, but not everything is a meaningless distraction from it.

This is very very very bad.
