D.C. Occupation and National Scandals | Washington DC News

A year after federal officers flooded D.C., residents are reeling from deaths, 16,000 arrests, and shattered families—while 200+ groups demand an end to the occupation and respect for local self-governance. Meanwhile, lawmakers from Wisconsin and Montana want to scrap D.C.’s helmet law as a test case, sparking outrage over outsiders dictating safety rules. Dubaian real estate firm tied to Trump paid him $12.5M in his first year—possibly linked to secret Abu Dhabi projects—amid rising concerns about economic inequality. Democrats push back against eroding protections for public art and historic sites, especially as a beloved D.C. building faces demolition. And they’re investigating whether military families were targeted by immigration enforcement—a potential betrayal of those who serve.
