Trump's DC takeover is a move of staggering hypocrisy | Rebecca Solnit
Briefly

January 6, 2021, marked Washington DC's most violent day, instigated by Donald J Trump amidst allegations of lies regarding the 2020 election outcome. Recent claims about rising crime contradict reports from reliable sources indicating violent crime in the city is at a 30-year low. The event led to five deaths and numerous law enforcement injuries. Trump pardoned 1,500 involved in the attack on his first day of office in 2025. Additionally, the Lancet projected Doge's actions could result in over 14 million deaths by 2030, disproportionately affecting children.
