Every story quoting Trump saying this is to "rescue our nation’s capital from crime" needs to note that violent crime in D.C. is down 26%, murders are down 12%, juvenile arrests are down 20%, and ask who will get hurt from a domestic military deployment and what this "crackdown" is really about

Trump is invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, which authorizes him to seize control of the entire DC police department for a maximum of 30 days. This is insane stuff. D.C. is not in the grip of a crime wave. Crime has been falling for three years now. Violent crime is at a 30-year low.

Control not just of DC but also of the media narrative. Trump is driving the news cycle instead of getting asked questions about having sex with minors. He doesn’t care if we’re mad, so long as we’re talking about what he wants us to talk about. We’re participants in his power grab.
