Chaos & Controversy: Trump’s National Guard Call, Census Showdown & WNBA’s Wildest Trend

Violent crime in Washington, DC is near 30-year lows — but stubbornly high homicide rates keep it among the most dangerous U.S. cities. Is President Trump right or wrong to call in the National Guard? The media says no, but we’re not so sure.   Trump also made waves by pushing for a new U.S. Census — unusual outside the 10-year cycle — and seeking to exclude illegal immigrants from the count. Supporters call it common sense, critics say it defies the Constitution.   In money news, new rules will soon let 401(k) investors access private equity and cryptocurrency. More investment freedom sounds great — if you don’t want them, you don’t have to buy them.   And finally, the WNBA’s strangest trend yet: dildo throwing. On Polymarket, the hot bet is whether one will hit the court on any given day.
