Trump took over the D.C. police force.
What happened: President Donald Trump announced he is taking the unprecedented step of federalizing the police department in Washington, D.C.Can he do that? Acting alone, the president can federalize the police for 48 hours. If he notifies certain members of Congress, Trump can federalize the police for up to 30 days.

- Ironic: Trump signed an executive order last month attacking “woke AI,” and ordering federal contracts go to companies whose AI bots were found to be bias free.
