HOT TOPICS | BREAKING: Trump’s DC Takeover – August 11th, 2025

Trump is reportedly considering deploying the National Guard in D.C. to combat crime and remove homeless people. Yes, you read that right, using military force to disappear the most vulnerable. What is this fascist nonsense? He’s holding a press conference on it this morning, and we’re here with all the breaking news and context he won’t give you.
Then we’ll pivot to the latest redistricting updates. What exactly is the GOP trying to pull, how far could they get, and what would it mean for the future of our elections? Spoiler: none of it is good for democracy.
Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild one.
