Great story from @lizkimtweets with great analysis — and this key detail:
My latest on Mayor Mamdani's balancing act between governing with a moderate approach to public safety and appeasing his left-wing base. One nugget here is that the current NYPD headcount is 34,000, leaving room for new hires under the 35,000 cap. gothamist.com/news/why-mamda…

Initial radio reports from Police/EMS from the multiple stabbing at Penn Station, 2 had cuts to their faces and one to the neck, unknown on the other 2 victims' conditions and nobody is expected to die from this incident... the perp was arrested at the scene by Amtrak Police.

A 78-year-old male was shot and killed behind 205 Alexander Ave which is across the street from the old 40 pct. Unknown if he was the intended target or not but possible victim of stray bullets as the shell casings were found down the street.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani urged New Yorkers to treat cops with “respect” — but stopped short of condemning a snowball attack on NYPD officers in Washington Square Park and even appeared to joke about it.

🚨A Bombardier Challenger 650 was involved in an incident at Bangor International Airport in Maine.
Our ADS-B data shows the aircraft had arrived from Houston and was attempting to depart at the time of the crash.
Eight people were on board. The aircraft is registered as N10KJ and is owned by a Texas-based law firm.

Two national guardsman have been shot in Washington DC. One suspect is in custody, crime scene is secured. Great job by the troops. The National Guard is here to protect us, not our enemies like some in the mainstream media portrays. Pray for their safety. 🫡🙏🏻

It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues.
Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The soldiers may still be alive.
The Governor himself later said the condition of the soldiers is uncertain.

Well said, @bern_hogan…and I’m paraphrasing here, but pretty amazing that state and city leaders will approve @lenoxhill expansion on the over-bedded UES of Manhattan, but refuse to bail out @official_tbhc in downtown Brooklyn.

Somebody should put together an initiative to require all high school students to get first aid and CPR certified. There’s so many things that are required that are not nearly as useful. In a few decades, almost all Americans could have some background that might help in worst case scenarios.

“The Democratic Party is not meeting the moment,” Cuomo said in an interview with the Times. “I think the Democratic Party has created the moment.” thehill.com/homenews/campaig…
