Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...
Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C.
The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

We just walked into an animal shelter because we drove by and saw they were having an adoption drive. Then the volunteers there told us that this sweetheart has been in the shelter for over a year. But they’re waiving the adoption fee for folks who come in to adopt Radar or another cat today.
