Memphis, Tennessee, is the latest city in President Donald Trump’s Crime Takeover-A-Go-Go. On Monday, Trump signed a presidential memorandum establishing a “Memphis Safe Task Force” and announced that he would send the National Guard to the city. During a press conference detailing the decision, Trump said that he wanted to accomplish in Memphis – and everywhere else – what federal authorities did in Washington, D.C.

And in headlines, the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing reportedly confessed to the murder in a Discord group chat, according to the Washington Post, Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to Qatar, and a longtime federal prosecutor — who happens to be James Comey’s daughter — sues the Trump administration over her firing.
