The inciting incident for this particular round of repression was the attempted carjacking last week of Edward Coristine, better known as Big Balls, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s DOGE inner circle. This sent Trump into a frenzy. “Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City.”

Like all bullies, Trump chooses victims he believes are weak. On Monday, he incorrectly concluded that the people of D.C. will quietly accept streets filled with National Guard members and FBI agents. Trump is wrong. Instead, he will see streets filled with thousands of patriotic Americans rising to defend the rule of law and the Constitution—joined by hundreds of thousands of Americans marching in solidarity.
