Trump threatens D.C.‘s autonomy after a DOGE worker was injured.

Despite police stats showing violent crime in Washington D.C. is down 26 percent from last year, after dropping by 35 percent compared to the year before, the president has continued to insist that crime in the city is “totally out of control,” in posts and comments to reporters.

The latest comments from Trump and Elon Musk pushing to federalize the city follow a report that DOGE affiliate Edward Coristine and another person were attacked in a carjacking attempt that occurred between 3 and 4AM on August 3rd.
