Virginia will probably declare next. DC shares resources with MD and VA and this is probably them trying to make Bowser look good. 25k troops on her doorstep, after she claims she isn't asking for more troops look like DJT is up to something. If MD and VA declare emergencies DC can have their NatGuard and it looks like the troops are meant to be there. They just need to shut down 1 road from NoVa and one from MD into DC and move troops back and forth
My take is that this is all fluff.
