President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

Then, and I'm being deadly serious here, you should do a complete review of where you get your news from. This was all in the open long before the election, as part of the project 2025 leaks. "News" media refusing to cover it isn't media worth listening to.
