Crime Crackdown in Washington, DC: Trump's National Guard Deployment Yields Results Amid Controversy. Key Points: Research suggests violent crime in Washington, DC, has declined significantly in 2025, with homicides down by around 16% year-to-date, though some areas remain hotspots. President Donald Trump's federal takeover and National Guard deployment have likely contributed to short-term reductions in crime stats, but experts debate long-term sustainability. The evidence leans toward a complex urban crisis involving policy, politics, and socioeconomic factors, with controversy over the role of migrants and home rule in the District of Columbia.

  BREAKING NEWS — A horrifying tragedy has shaken the small town of Madbury, New Hampshire. Police say 34-year-old Emily Long, her 48-year-old husband Ryan Long, and their two young children — just 8 and 6 years old — were all found dead in their own home.

But what kind of life awaits a child who just lost almost their entire family in a single, violent night? The quiet street is now a crime scene — cordoned off with yellow tape, police cruisers, and state investigators combing through the home for answers. Neighbors say the family seemed “normal.” But behind closed doors, something far darker was unfolding. Sadly, this story is not as rare as we’d like to believe.
