Breaking format just a bit to bring you straight facts on an unprecedented move: President Trump’s takeover of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. I love bringing you bright and cheery, but you need the information to understand what’s happening, why it matters, and how it affects us here in Maryland’s First District.

In This Episode:

• What is happening?: The 30-day federal takeover of D.C.’s police force under Section 740 of the Home Rule Act.

• Why it’s happening?: The administration’s “crime emergency” narrative versus the actual crime data.

• Who is involved?: From the DOJ to the National Guard, FBI, and DEA.

• The “Baltimore, NYC, and Oakland next” rhetoric: Why this pattern is rooted in racism and political targeting.

• How it affects MD-01: What this means for our commuters, our civil liberties, and our Congressman’s stance.

• What we can do: From blocking extensions to pushing or D.C. autonomy and statehood.

  Call to Action: Why this fight is bigger than party politics and why it starts at home.

  
  

  YOUR VOICE MATTERS:

  Contact Congressman Andy Harris while he still has the job, and tell him this federal overreach is not okay. He needs to hear from the people of MD-01 that we will not stand for it.
