City Cast DC

City Leadership Stays Silent, MPD-ICE Collaboration, and Meme-ifying the Takeover


Listen Later

The Washington Post’s Olivia George joins the show to chat about the federal takeover of DC law enforcement: on the streets, in politics — where city officials from the mayor on down are sticking with a muted response — and online, where locals have been reacting in a wild variety of ways. And in a member’s only segment, we’ll get into the Trump administration’s latest edict on the Smithsonian, and check in on how the Trumpification of DC culture is proceeding.
