Michael Popok, who has argued before this very same appeals court, breaks it all down for you and makes sense of it all. Everyday Dose:

Trump’s takeover of DC’s police force is actually resulting in LESS daily arrests than the DC police accomplished before the phony illegal “take over!”. As Michael Popok reports, the “takeover” also shows that Trump cares more about a 19 year old staffer name “Big Balls” who got jumped by some 14 year olds, than he does about ensuring that violent criminals who attacked our Capitol are brought to justice.
