Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the reaction from DC residents to President Trump’s decision to federalize the DC police department. They also discuss how the media interprets new data on inflation from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and whether Trump’s tariffs are showing up in the numbers. Then, they talk about allegations from a congressional whistleblower that Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) leaked classified information aimed at discrediting President Trump while serving in the House. Plus, they chat about a new poll in the New York mayor’s race which shows Zohran Mamdani with an impressive lead. Next, Carl talks to RCP contributor Eric Spitz about the Democratic Party’s evolving positions on Israel and inner city crime. And finally, RCP contributor Maggie Miller talks to RealClear Investigations writer Ben Weingarten about whether class action suits will replace universal injunctions as the primary way plaintiffs and federal judges challenge Trump’s executive orders.
