0:50Now PlayingThe Pentagon has confirmed a plan to keep the National Guard in Washington, D.C. through January 20, 2029. This decision covers the remainder of Trump's term, a move described as "not normal" and "not acceptable" given the precedent it sets for a militarized capital. The core of the story remains the unprecedented level of control the executive branch now exerts over the world's most powerful military. From domestic deployments in D.C. to active operations in Iran and Colombia, the guardrails appear to be thinning as the President uses military assets at his sole discretion.
