There is NO way I would DC right now--and certainly would NOT take the grandkids!!

Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.

National Guard troops are now carrying guns on patrol in DC as part of President Trump’s efforts to tackle crime. The change started Sunday night at the direction of Defense Sec. Hegseth.

This morning I spotted these troops carrying weapons while walking on the National Mall.
