I'm Rachel Martin, host of Wildcard from NPR.
I've spent years interviewing all kinds of people,
and I've realized there are ideas that we all think about, but don't talk about very much.
So I made a shortcut, a deck of cards with questions that anyone can answer,
questions that go deep into the experiences that shape us.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright.
As residents of Washington, D.C. wait for the National Guard to deploy on their streets,
many say they're skeptical of President Trump's plan to deal with crime in the city.
NPR's Brian Mann reports.
During a White House press conference,
Trump laid out an aggressive plan for how National Guard and Metropolitan D.C. police under federal authority will attack crime.
Trump also says people without housing will be forced out of Washington.
J.U.
King, a student at Howard University,
says he doesn't think tough police tactics will solve complex social problems.
Every city has their crime, their gangs, their homelessness,
but I don't feel like the displacement of those things are going to cause the solution.
I think it's going to cause more damage.
Federal data shows crime was already dropping here before these federal measures.
