Today’s notice: D.C. getting more scrutiny. Redistricting lawsuits are starting to roll. A researcher tells us he doesn’t agree with how the USDA is using his numbers. Massie vs. everyone. And: Life at the CDC after the shooting.
THE LATEST
District of escalation: The latest on the takeover of D.C. law enforcement by Donald Trump’s White House can be summed up in one word: more.
More troops: Tennessee this week joined the list of red states sending National Guard troops to the District. Before those troops were added, the number of incoming National Guard members was already more than 1,000.
More time: At Tuesday’s press briefing, Karoline Leavitt declined to put a timeline on the National Guard deployment or the surged federal law enforcement presence. The law says Trump can only federalize D.C.’s police department for 30 days, but the president has signaled he wants more time than that.
