Trump visits police, military carrying out Washington crime crackdown
WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump declared his crime crackdown in the nation's capital a success on Thursday as he visited federal officers deployed under his plan, which has drawn resident complaints that its tactics are too heavyhanded. Trump visited the U.S. Park Police headquarters in Southeast Washington, D.C., bringing pizza and hamburgers for officers as a gesture of support. Without citing evidence, the president told several hundred uniformed personnel that their efforts were leading to a drop in crime. "It's like a different place," he said. "Everybody is safe now." Earlier on Thursday, Trump had said he would go on patrol with law enforcement during his visit, but the ride-along did not happen. Saying the city was gripped by a violent crime wave, Trump last week declared a public safety emergency. He deployed National Guard soldiers and federal agents on the streets, and said he was temporarily taking over the city's police department in an extraordinary assertion of presidential power. The crackdown has included ramped-up stop-and-frisk operations, federal patrols in residential neighborhoods and reports of people being stopped with little explanation. Projecting confidence in the federal response, Trump told the assembled officers that Washington was on the rebound. "We're going to have the best capital ever," he said. City officials have rejected the claim that violent crime is rampant, pointing to federal and city statistics that show violent crime has declined significantly since a spike in 2023. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, asked by reporters earlier on Thursday if the city was safer now, said the capital has seen a decrease in crime for the last two years. "We expect that having 500 additional officers will yield more arrests, and we want guns off the streets. Our police officers continue to do the work, and we expect some incremental difference with more officers," she said, referring to the extra personnel ordered by Trump. The partnership between local and federal law enforcement has been tense at times, with federal agents not only targeting violent crime but also prioritizing immigration arrests and clearing homeless encampments. Five years after Trump deployed National Guard troops to disperse racial justice protesters outside the White House, his 30-day takeover of local law enforcement has sparked some demonstrations. These have included in the past week organized protests near the White House as well as city residents and demonstrators spontaneously confronting federal agents. In one incident, a resident was charged with a felony for throwing a sandwich at an officer. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Wednesday visited troops at Union Station, Washington's central train hub, where protesters heckled them with jeers and shouts. Trump on Thursday was joined by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, his White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, architect of Trump's migrant crackdown. Trump's administration this week ordered federal prosecutors in Washington to be more aggressive in pursuing criminal cases against people arrested as part of the crackdown in the nation's capital, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Satire at its finest: South Park takes on Trump's martial takeover, AI and tech bros
Early on in its 27th season, South Park has garnered more controversy than it has in years (possibly ever), along with some of its highest ratings. Last week's episode took aim at the Trump administration's brutal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (Ice) raids, poked fun at homeland security secretary Kristi Noem's penchant for puppy murder and cosmetic surgery (Noem has since climbed atop her moral high horse and accused the show of sexism) and, of course, Donald Trump himself. Along with Trump's martial takeover of Washington DC, this week's instalment, titled Sickofancy, takes aim at artificial intelligence (specifically ChatGPT) and the larger tech-bro industry. Picking up where we last left off, the show's resident doofus, Randy Marsh, sees his beloved Tegridy Weed marijuana farm raided by border patrol agents. They kidnap all of his workers ('Hey! Those are my Mexicans!'), leaving him with only one employee, the ever-stoned Towelie (a talking bath towel, naturally). Despondent, Randy turns to ChatGPT for advice. The sycophantic, soft-voiced app draws up a new business plan for him and Towelie to implement. With the help of a single Mexican whom they spring from an Ice detention centre and plenty of recreational ketamine, they rebrand to Techridy, 'an AI-powered marijuana platform for global solutions'. Meanwhile, in Washington, President Trump takes a break from receiving lavish gifts (as well as assurances that 'you do not have a small penis') from politicians, business titans and foreign leaders to remake the capital into a dystopian police state festooned with his own image (which includes his less-than-impressive member). The two storylines converge when Randy attempts to bribe Trump into legalising marijuana nationwide by bequeathing Towelie to him. It's all for naught, though, as ChatGPT's advice proves useless and he ends up having to sell Tegridy Farms and move his family back to the suburbs (the end of an era for the show, which has heavily featured this subplot for seven years, much to the annoyance of some fans). Parker and Stone's take on AI – that it is dumbing us down, robbing us of person-to-person connection and giving us really, really bad advice – is refreshingly clear-eyed, if not particularly incendiary. The larger skewering of tech bros is solid, although it's slightly disappointing that Elon Musk never gets brought in for any of it, even though the running gag about ketamine addiction is clearly aimed at him. That said, the digs at Apple CEO Tim Cook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg help fill that gap. The Trump material remains roundly funny and it's clear the show is building to a big conclusion, most likely involving his unwilling partner and lover Satan (who is finally taking steps to free himself from the abusive relationship). This episode is unlikely to cause as big a stir as the previous two. But watching South Park satirise the horrifying militarisation of Washington DC in real time – Union Station, which features in the show's central montage, was the scene of a fascist photo op featuring vice-president JD Vance, defence secretary Pete Hegseth and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller – is another reminder that no show has ever worked harder to have its finger on the nation's pulse.

Trump officials urge Fed to remove governor after she refuses to quit
The Trump administration is ratcheting up pressure on the Federal Reserve to remove governor Lisa Cook, after the economist declared she had 'no intention of being bullied' into stepping down. Cook, who was appointed to the US central bank's powerful board of governors by Joe Biden, has been accused by Donald Trump's officials of committing mortgage fraud. The allegations are unconfirmed. The US president has waged an extraordinary war on the Fed's independence, breaking with precedent to demand interest rate cuts and urge its chair, Jerome Powell, to resign. Trump promptly called on Cook to quit on Wednesday. The Department of Justice is reported to have indicated it is investigating the allegations, with a top Trump official telling Powell the case 'requires further examination' – and calling on him to remove Cook from the Fed's board. 'At this time, I encourage you to remove Ms Cook from your Board,' Ed Martin, the official, wrote in a letter, according to Bloomberg News. 'Do it today before it is too late! After all, no American thinks it is appropriate that she serve during this time with a cloud hanging over her.' The Fed declined to comment. The justice department declined to comment. Despite Martin's demand, the Fed chair has no authority under the Federal Reserve Act to remove another member of the board of governors. On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had discussed how to fire Cook for cause, citing an unnamed administration official. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the report. On Wednesday morning, Bill Pulte, head of the US Federal Housing Finance Agency, who has become – beyond the president himself – one of the Trump administration's most vocal critics of Powell and the Fed, published allegations against Cook. Pulte says the finance agency is investigating a third property owned by Cook. In June 2021, Cook entered into a 15-year mortgage agreement on a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and declared her intention to use it as her principal residence, according to Pulte. In July 2021, Cook bought a property in Atlanta, Georgia, and also committed to use that property as her primary residence when taking out a 30-year mortgage, according to Pulte. In a statement, Cook said: 'I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts.' She is the latest figure to be targeted by Trump officials over claims of mortgage fraud. Pulte has made similar allegations about the New York attorney general, Letitia James, and the California senator Adam Schiff, both Democrats. The justice department is reportedly investigating. James has dismissed the claims as 'baseless', while Schiff has vehemently denied the allegations, and accused the administration of weaponizing the US justice system.
