"The city that lurks: President Trump fashioned another threat against a US city on his Truth Social website over the weekend, posting a meme of himself as Robert Duvall's character in "Apocalypse Now" and writing "I love the smell of deportations in the morning... Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR 🚁 🚁 🚁." It's not clear whether Trump actually plans to send troops to Chicago, as he did in Los Angeles and DC."
"Trump yelled at a reporter who asked him whether he planned to go to war against Chicago (which seems like a reasonable question under the circumstances?). He replied, "We're not going to war, we're going to clean up our cities." ( NYT) Meanwhile, here in DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser said she believed her strategy toward Trump, which included ordering the DC police to cooperate with federal law enforcement indefinitely, paid off"
Cool morning warming to a high near 76 with a low near 54 overnight. The Nationals will face the Marlins in Miami today; the Nationals and Commanders won yesterday. Social contact handles include Bluesky @abeaujon and Signal @abeaujon.87, with an email link and a morning newsletter signup available. Music recommendation: The Brian Jonestown Massacre's "Anemone," with a note about the band playing the 9:30 Club and curated playlists on Spotify and Apple Music. President Trump posted a meme invoking "Apocalypse Now" and warned Chicago about deportations and possible force deployment. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called him a "wannabe dictator." Mayor Muriel Bowser said her approach toward Trump paid off when the House declined to extend a 30-day federal takeover of the DC police.
