FAFO IN DC

President Trump is going full force on cleaning up Washington, D.C. He’s sending in more FBI agents, considering National Guard support, and ordering homeless encampments cleared ahead of a White House crime briefing, while Mayor Bowser pushes back on the “crisis” label.

Trump also confirmed he’ll meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15, with the White House debating whether to invite Volodymyr Zelenskyy as NATO insists Ukraine must be at the table. And no… Alligator Alcatraz isn’t shutting down; operations continue despite a two-week construction pause as lawsuits over environmental and civil-rights issues unfold.
