Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

As anyone who lives in DC knows, it's the residents in Wards 7 & 8, south and east of the Anacostia River, who suffer most from crime.
That's exactly where Trump's show-of-force is NOT deployed: ♦️They're parading (and harassing people) where they'll be seen. NOT fighting crime.
