I’ve been briefed on the horrific stabbing at Penn Station. Based on the information available right now, six people were stabbed and the alleged perpetrator is in custody following a swift response from the Amtrak Police Department.

My heart is with everyone who was injured, their loved ones, and all those shaken by this unacceptable violence. I’m wishing each of the victims a full and speedy recovery.

I’m grateful to the Amtrak Police Department and the first responders who acted quickly to apprehend the suspect and provide emergency care.

There are currently no impacts to Amtrak service. My administration is in contact with Amtrak officials as they investigate this incident.

Hey Chicago Bears Fans,

Your blood is about to boil reading this:

I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.

At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.

Let that sink in.

For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.

Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.

This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.

@jonwu_ haha no i just went to nyc first time in over a year and a half and seeing how much rent has gone up relative to LA was startling, at least nyc is building more than LA

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Remember everyone…we are still in the lead, and we’ve got allllllll the way til July 6th to keep counting. They’re not the only ones who know where to find votes 😉

voter harvesting does exist in LA, i’ve seen it outside my office at the wiltern and also outside of Vons around silverlake

It is impossible to explain how insecure the California election system is

No ID required

A broken signature verification process

Enormous #s of mail in ballots

A giant homeless population, where it is proven they have been paid to register to vote

We need change

[Shabbos Kestenbaum @ShabbosK]

Im sorry but President Trump is absolutely correct.

The way California conducts their elections is a legitimate, credible threat to democracy:

1. Ballot harvesting is LEGAL, meaning 3rd parties are allowed to deliver thousands of completed ballots themselves with ZERO supervision or timeline.

2. There is ZERO requirement to show ANY type of ID when one comes to vote.

3. There are thousands of UNATTENDED drop boxes for ballots. There are DOZENS of examples of them being lit on fire, stolen, or bombarded with fake ballots.

4. The homeless are regularly paid to vote. The are given illegitimate addresses and coached through the process.

5. About 13 million of the approximately 16 million votes cast in 2024 were cast using vote-by-mail ballots. However, mail-in ballots are sent to every registered voter, whether you request them or not. California almost never updates their voting rolls, so ballots are REGULARLY sent to people who no longer live in the state, wrong address, or different person. My building alone had half a dozen such cases.

6. India had 660 million voters last election and counted the vote in one day. California has about 16 million and counting takes at least 30 days. This is a national embarrassment.

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

@gregbettinelli Any system where there is early disclosure and then continued bespoke counting is clearly subject to fraud. You know not only who’s winning but the exact count needed to catch up. Read the Caro books on LBJ!

[thomas chen @datboitom]

The the sake of trust, we should just hold the elections one day, it doesn't make sense (whether or not there is fraud) to keep this process going. For the sake of trust, just make it one day.

[America @america]

President Trump: “Look at what’s happening in California. Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking a winner!? They're crooked. Just like you're crooked.”
