In Washington, D.C., a brutal attack on 19-year-old Edward Coristine, a former Doge cryptocurrency team member, has sparked outrage and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten a federal takeover of the city. The assault, carried out by a mob of teenagers after Coristine attempted to aid a harassed young woman, has drawn national attention due to its graphic nature and the victim’s high-profile background. President Trump, citing the incident as evidence of D.C.’s failing governance, warned that the city must “straighten their act out” or face federalization to restore order. Elon Musk, Coristine’s former boss, echoed this sentiment on X, calling for federal intervention. Despite FBI data showing a nationwide decline in violent crime, D.C. has seen several high-profile incidents this summer, including a House staffer robbed at gunpoint and a congressional intern killed in a drive-by shooting. These events have intensified scrutiny on Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. City Council, with critics demanding more police funding and cooperation with federal authorities. The FBI also reports a troubling rise in violence against law enforcement, with 258 officers killed in recent years. As D.C. grapples with its public safety crisis, the threat of federal control raises questions about local autonomy and the city’s ability to address crime effectively. Mayor Bowser is set to address the public in September, with the nation watching closely.
