Trump’s historic DC takeover

The federal government has temporarily taken charge of Washington DC. Specifically, the local police are under federal jurisdiction for a 30-day period. The President has invoked a 1973 law to place the DC metro police under the Department of Justice’s command, with the assurance that his cleanup initiative for DC will be implemented, as he stated, “very swiftly.”

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.

These parents are getting dragged online, but one adolescent psychologist told The Post the criticisms are offbase saying, in short, this isn’t a green light to behave badly, it’s a worst-case scenario prep kit. Expect the best, prepare for the worst.
