This is because protestors booed JD Vance and Pete Hegseth at Union Station last week when they went there for a photo op with National Gaurdsmen eating lunch at the Shake Shack.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Pretty sure it's more that a group of veterans have started a sit-in there and they're not planning on moving.
That's badass! There are real patriots still! Color me shocked.
In the future, if you are spotted booing an administration official, expect a National Guard rifle butt to the back of your head.
Is maga bitching about this being socialism yet?
They don't mind. They see this as him owning the libs/blue cities, and are perfectly fine with it.
Not that any of them will go into cities unless they are forced to, since it has scary Blah people in them.
maga has no idea what socialism is.
When he says he wants transit to be safe again, I wonder what racist rhetoric he is enforcing
This honestly is just wierd. I don't see how it fits into any of his bullshit other than just being bullshit. Epsteing files maybe?
He can lock it down as a military checkpoint
Gearing up for the full authoritarian take over
He's gonna remake it in his white-and-chintz ghetto style. And post national guardsmen.
Ah yes, the good old Republican policy of having the government run things instead of private enterprise.
I was just in Union station for the very first time this last spring, and I thought it was perfectly wonderful as a piece of architecture. I'm no critic of the art of building or anything of the sort, but as a rando first time train traveler, I was actually pretty impressed with it. One thing I particularly enjoyed was a little used bookstore and record shop they had on one of the levels.
All aboard the Trump train! No woke, LGBTQ, Palestinians, Ukrainians, immigrants, or Epstein files allowed! Choo choo!
