The federal government has temporarily taken charge of Washington DC. Specifically, the local police are under federal jurisdiction for a 30-day period.

Don’t forget the Narcan

Parents of incoming college students are sending them off to school equipped with Narcan for opioid overdose reversal, condoms, and the emergency contraceptive Plan-B.
