- Last Tuesday, President Donald Trump proposed a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., and floated extending it to New York City if Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race.

- Recent Metropolitan Police data show D.C. crime is down 8% overall, with violent crime decreasing 25%, and homicides and robberies not specifically detailed.
