President Donald Trump claimed on September 15th, 2025, that no one has died in Washington D.C. in the past week, a statement that the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating in light of a fatal stabbing on 14th Street early Saturday morning, September 13th, 2025. Separately, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo expressed a shift in his stance on the war in Gaza, calling the situation "horrific," advocating for an immediate ceasefire, and distancing himself from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in an interview with The New York Times. In legislative matters, Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) sent a letter to House GOP leadership last week requesting a select subcommittee to investigate left-wing NGOs, according to a source familiar with the matter. The pressure from the base is reportedly increasing, influenced by recent comments from Vice President JD Vance and Stephen Miller. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and Homeland Security, through Stephen Miller, vowed to dismantle domestic terror networks responsible for political violence, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, as previously reported. Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has been charged with making threats of political violence in New Mexico, including statements referencing "civil war" and harming those who "have something bad to say about Charlie." These new charges stem from online posts made after Kirk's death. The federal response to political violence continues, with Stephen Miller of the Department of Justice and Homeland Security vowing to dismantle domestic terror networks. President Trump announced on September 15th, 2025, that he was deploying the National Guard to Memphis to address crime, indicating that Chicago might be next. This effort will also involve the FBI. The previous reporting also noted Trump commenting on his own hand, stating he was "covering his right hand again," amidst heightened political rhetoric following Kirk's assassination.
