“North Carolina, Kentucky, Michigan, and Minnesota all have troops in D.C. now.”
They join more than a dozen Republican-led states that have had troops in the city for months. NPR reached out to each Democratic governor's office, and spokespeople made it clear that their guard members were sent to help with the influx of crowds expected for America to 50 celebrations, and not as part of a larger law enforcement efforts in Trump's federal task force.

Wildfires are burning in several states in the southwest, including Arizona, a fire in the northern part of the state is prompting residents to get out to evacuate from member station KNAU Chris Clemett's reports. The pocketfire nearly doubled in size this weekend, driven by high winds, low humidity,

He says this wildfire seems worse than past fires in the area. It feels a little scary, just because the wind we've had the last few days and just how dry
