Trump Seizes D.C. Police, Texas Target Tragedy, Pittsburgh Steel Explosions, and Palmetto State Shake-ups (Ep 505)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

President Trump announces a temporary federal takeover of D.C. public safety as U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro targets “absurd” teen crime laws. We’ve got the legal ground rules—what the feds can and can’t do in the nation’s capital. Plus: Target shooting north of Austin—three dead and multiple injured, including a child—what we know so far. Updates on the U.S. Steel plant explosions near Pittsburgh (one dead, two missing, at least nine hospitalized). And a string of South Carolina resignations triggers multiple special elections—who’s out, who’s in, and key dates.
