⁴ Despite the implication in your letter, the marked decline in crime is not because the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has replenished its ranks. On the contrary, in its 2025 annual report, MPD identified the "continued downward slide in sworn staffing" as a "persistent obstacle to [its] ability to serve the District of Columbia at full strength," and sounded the alarm that "fiscal year 2025 marked the seventh year in a row with separations outpacing new hires."

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - MORNING GLORY: SCOTUS should urgently allow construction at the White House to proceed:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - HUGH Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt Chief Justice Roberts has before him the request from President Trump to stay the order halting construction at the White House, including its below ground national security facilities, the ballroom above ground and whatever is intend for the roof (drone defenses perhaps?)
I hope the stay of the D.C. Circuit issues today. There are some standing issues but the heart of the debate is presidential authority over the Executive Mansion and related-grounds. This is not a close case and the stay should be ordered. A terse opinion may follow on the urgent need to allow this president and all future presidents authority over their home/office/highly secure national security facilities within that area and associated areas such as Camp David. To ignore the rapidly evolving threats to any facility used frequently any president against the backdrop of repeated attempts on the lives of this and other presidents not to mention rapidly evolving surveillance technology that has to be countered would be the height of irresponsibility.
Imagine the consequences of a state sponsor of successfully terror targeting the White House if necessary defenses that would have deflected the attack are not in place. TDS has spread far and wide, but while the hard left in this country and the terror-based regimes which align with the objectives of the radicals would love to see a Commander- in-Chief denied authority over his command structures, the Supreme Court should move quickly to end this circus.
