The #Transportation Secy claimed #UnionStation, located within walking distance of the US Capitol, had “fallen into disrepair” when it should be a “point of pride” for the city.
#Trump said last week he wants $2 billion from #Congress to *beautify* #Washington as part of his *crackdown* on the city. Trump has sent thousands of #NationalGuard #troops & federal LEOs into Washington in a bid to fight *violent crime* he claimed had strangled the city.
#Transportation Secy Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that his department is taking management of #UnionStation, the main transportation hub in #Washington, away from #Amtrak, in another example of how the #FederalGovernment is exerting its #power over the nation’s capital.

"A demonstrator who identified himself as a disabled combat veteran was arrested Monday after burning an American flag in protest of President Donald Trump’s latest executive order.
"Speaking through a megaphone to the onlookers outside of the White House, the protester explained that Trump’s latest decree penalizing flag burning was an affront to the First Amendment.
" 'I fought for every single one of your rights to express yourself in however you feel that you may want to express yourself,' the protester said, in a video shared to social media.
" 'No president can make a law—period—no Congress can make a law infringing on #FirstAmendment rights,' he added. 'I’m burning this flag as a protest of that illegal #fascist president that sits in that house!'
"The protester then lit the flag on fire.
"Despite Trump’s claim that burning the American flag 'incites riots at a level we’ve never seen,' no such riot materialized. The protester was promptly arrested by the Secret Service.
"The Secret Service released a statement that it detained the man 'for igniting an object' and that he was turned over to Park Police, who said they’d arrested him for violating a statute that prohibits lighting a fire in a public park, according to NBC News.
"Trump’s blatant attack on free speech built on fictitious grounds is an affront to the U.S. Constitution, and the Supreme Court, which ruled 5-4 in 1989 that flag burning was protected speech under the First Amendment."
