‘Federalise Washington DC': Trump, Musk Land On Same Page After DOGE Staff Attacked
Last Updated: Donald Trump and Elon Musk said that a DOGE staffer was attacked in Washington DC. Both shared the same opinion to federalise the capital city. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirmed that a DOGE member was attacked by 'a bunch of thugs" in Washington DC, and warned to federalise the city and run it 'the way it's supposed to be run". Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who headed the DOGE for approximately five months in Trump 2.0, also said that a 'team member" was attacked and called to federalise DC. The victim of the attack that took place early Sunday morning around 3 am in the city's Logan Circle neighborhood was identified as Edward Coristine, who also goes by the nickname 'Big Balls", news agency AP reported. The incident occurred when a group of teenagers attempted to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other. 'Somebody from DOGE was very badly hurt last night… A young man who was beaten up by a bunch of thugs in D.C. Either they're going to straighten their act out, or we're going to have to federalise and run it the way it's supposed to be run," Trump told reporters. In a social media post, Trump pointed to the rising crime in the US Capital city and said that he will exert his powers if this goes on. 'Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local 'youths" and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now! If this continues, I am going to exert my powers and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump said on Truth Social. Elon Musk Reacts Musk earlier said that a gang of nearly a dozen young men attempted to assault a woman in her car at night in DC, however, the DOGE team member saw it happening and 'ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her". 'It is time to federalize DC," he wrote on X. Police Arrest 2 For Crime DC Police arrested a 15-year-old boy and girl from Maryland on charges of unarmed carjacking, The Washington Post reported, citing a release by the department. The duo was held at the city's youth detention center. This is the latest attack on a federal staffer in Washington. Earlier in June, 21-year-old congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was killed in crossfire near the District's convention center, the report said. view comments Location : Washington D.C., United States of America (USA) First Published: August 06, 2025, 09:07 IST News world 'Federalise Washington DC': Trump, Musk Land On Same Page After DOGE Staff Attacked Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Womens commission calls for mandatory POSH audits at workplaces in Maharashtra
Mumbai, Aug 6 (PTI) The Maharashtra State Women's Commission has expressed concern over the ineffective implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, commonly known as the POSH Act, and proposed mandatory POSH audits in all offices. In a video message on X, the commission's chairperson, Rupali Chakankar, said she observed during her recent state-wide visits that while Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) have been constituted in many workplaces as mandated by the law, they often exist only on paper. 'There is a serious lack of awareness among committee members about their rights, responsibilities and the legal framework, leaving women employees feeling unsafe despite the existence of these committees," she said. To address these concerns, the commission has submitted a proposal to the Minister for Women and Child Development, demanding the issuance of a government resolution (GR) mandating regular audits of POSH compliance, Chakankar said. 'A POSH audit should be treated with the same importance as a financial or fire safety audit," she said. 'Such audits would ensure that workplaces are not only legally compliant but also provide a genuinely safe environment for women employees," she added.
