A mass stabbing attack has been reported in Washington, D.C., and at least seven people have been hospitalized as a result, according to a D.C. Fire and EMS spokesperson.

The location of the incident was reported to be near Meigs Place and Montello Avenue NE, according to a social media statement from D.C. police.

‘He chose the wrong block to come on. Even though he attacked those women and really hurt those women, we put him down.’

A suspect is in custody.

WTTG-TV reported that police said the suspect was in an altered mental state and had begun to stab himself as well as a female acquaintance. When two Good Samaritans tried to intervene, they were also stabbed. A knife was reportedly recovered from the scene.

One witness told WUSA-TV that the suspect was unknown to the neighborhood and was randomly stabbing people before the residents jumped in to take him down.

“We didn’t just call police and wait for them to show up to apprehend the individual; the neighbors actually physically did it themselves,” said Salvador Saucedo Guzman. “He chose the wrong block to come on. Even though he attacked those women and really hurt those women, we put him down.”

Video and photos from the scene showed police setting up crime tape and ambulances taking victims away.

Just last week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order establishing a task force of federal agency members in order to beautify the D.C. area and decrease crime.

“It is the policy of the United States to make the District of Columbia safe, beautiful, and prosperous by preventing crime,” read the order, “punishing criminals, preserving order, protecting our revered American monuments, and promoting beautification and the preservation of our history and heritage.”

A female fencer who refused to compete against a male athlete was disqualified from a competition under USA Fencing.

Stephanie Turner of the Fencing Academy of Philadelphia was set to take on a male athlete, Wagner College’s Redmond Sullivan at the Cherry Blossom, a fencing event held at the University of Maryland.

As the match began, however, Turner refused to participate against the male and took a knee in protest.

An official immediately approached Turner and eventually gave the fencer a black card, a penalty typically issued for egregious behavior that can result in the expulsion from a competition.

“I knew what I had to do because USA Fencing had not been listening to women’s objections,” Turner told Fox News about the ordeal. “I took a knee immediately,” she continued.

“Redmond was under the impression that I was going to start fencing. So when I took the knee, I looked at the ref, and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot do this. I am a woman, and this is a man, and this is a women’s tournament. And I will not fence this individual.'”

According to Turner, Sullivan approached her and asked if she was OK. When Turner explained she did not want to compete against a man, Sullivan said that he was supported by board members and is allowed to fence against women.

“Redmond says to me, ‘Well you know, there is a member on the board of directors here who supports me, and there is a policy that acknowledges me as a woman, so I am allowed to fence, and you will get black-carded,’ and I said, ‘I know,'” Turner recalled.

Video of the event showed Sullivan seemingly confused by Turner’s response before walking away.

Turner was expelled from the event over her refusal to fence, according to a USA Fencing spokesperson.

“In the case of Stephanie Turner, her disqualification was not related to any personal statement but was merely the direct result of her decision to decline to fence an eligible opponent, which the FIE [International Fencing Federation] rules clearly prohibit.”

Turner’s participation was erased from the event results and does not appear as one of Sullivan’s opponents.

‘I’m just going to give it to God.’

Sullivan began competing in the women’s category in the 2024-2025 season after competing in the men’s category from 2021-2023. Against men, Sullivan’s best finish was third place at a May 2023 event. Against women, however, Sullivan already has two gold medals in just six competitions.

Turner revealed that she typically does not register for events with “transgender fencers” and figured Sullivan had signed up after her for the latest event.

“I was like, ‘You know what, I’m just going to give it to God. If this person shows up to my event and is on my script, then I would take a knee, and that would be God’s will,'” Turner explained.

“It will probably, at least for a moment, destroy my life. I don’t think that it’s going to be easy for me from now on going to fencing tournaments. I don’t think it’s going to be easy for me at practice,” Turner added.

The fencer even said she has begun to vote “red down the ticket” after “waking up to the lies of the mainstream media.”

Turner explained that many of her friends have displayed a “glassy-eyed look” while trying to defend the idea of men in women’s sports and have yet to come to terms with the reality that their position on the issue may be wrong. She added that some of her colleagues may have realized they were misled on the idea that men in women’s sports is a “civil rights movement.”

A Pennsylvania woman accused a man of kidnapping and raping her. However, she is now the one behind bars after law enforcement revealed that her kidnapping and rape accusations were fake.

Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, told authorities in April 2024 that a man grabbed her in a parking lot of a Redner’s grocery store in Middletown Township, which is about an hour northeast of Philadelphia.

‘I’m incredibly grateful for the work that law enforcement did in this case to get down to what happened, but it can’t change the fact that a man spent 31 days sleeping in a cell for a crime he didn’t commit.’

WCAU-TV reported that Urumova initially claimed that the man grabbed her from behind after she parked her truck in the grocery store’s parking lot, that she struggled to escape, and that the man tried to pull down her pants, punched her in the face, and tried to move her to his vehicle.

Police said Urumova had a visible laceration on her lip.

Urumova described the alleged abductor’s vehicle as a dark blue Ford F-150 pickup truck with a “thin blue line” sticker on the back windshield with visible dents and rust on the exterior.

Police arrested 41-year-old Daniel Pierson at his home in front of his children, according to Chief Deputy District Attorney Kristin McElroy.

Pierson was charged with multiple felonies and was in jail for 31 days until law enforcement determined that Urumova fabricated the kidnapping and rape accusations.

The Middletown Township Police Department reviewed surveillance video and analyzed Urumova’s cellphone data, which reportedly “led to the discovery of multiple inconsistencies and contradictory information with Urumova’s account of the attack at the Redner’s parking lot.”

Urumova admitted to investigators that she made up the kidnapping and rape allegations.

Urumova allegedly said she “specifically targeted” Pierson because she thought he was “creepy.”

Also, Urumova’s grandmother reportedly caused the laceration on her lip, not Pierson.

“Her grandmother, who Urumova claimed suffered from dementia, did not recognize her as she entered the house and threw a plastic object at her, striking her in the lip,” the complaint reads. “This incident allegedly caused the laceration to her lip that she later blamed on Pierson.”

Urumova was arrested and charged on May 20, 2024.

Urumova — who was facing 17 years in prison — pleaded guilty in January to seven misdemeanor counts, including tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and false reports.

On Tuesday, Judge Stephen Corr sentenced Urumova to between 45 days and 23 months in the Bucks County Correctional Facility, according to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.

In addition to the jail sentence, Urumova also was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation, have no contact with the victim, and pay Pierson $3,600.

McElroy said Urumova “targeted an innocent man and accused him of one of the worst crimes a person can be accused of. I’m incredibly grateful for the work that law enforcement did in this case to get down to what happened, but it can’t change the fact that a man spent 31 days sleeping in a cell for a crime he didn’t commit.”

District Attorney Jennifer Schorn noted, “Not only did this targeted false report impact the victim and his family in unimaginable ways, but there is also a profound ripple effect. A crime like this can shatter the community’s confidence in the system. It can jeopardize prosecutions of legitimate crimes of sexual violence.”

Republicans and Democrats in Congress joined to introduce a bill meant to rein in President Donald Trump’s ability to declare new tariffs.

Trump followed through on his promise to punish foreign countries with increased tariffs in order to bring in more federal revenue as well as force production back to the U.S. The stock market has reacted negatively to the sweeping tariffs the president announced from the White House on Wednesday.

‘This bill reasserts Congress’s role over trade policy to ensure rules-based trade policies are transparent, consistent, and benefit the American public.’

The Trade Review Act of 2025 was co-sponsored by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Democrat Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state and imposed a time limit on tariffs before they needed approval from Congress to continue.

“Any duty on an article imported into the United States shall remain in effect for a period of not more than 60 days, unless there is enacted into law a joint resolution of approval with respect to the duty,” read the legislation.

“Trade wars can be as devastating, which is why the Founding Fathers gave Congress the clear Constitutional authority over war and trade,” Cantwell explained. “This bill reasserts Congress’s role over trade policy to ensure rules-based trade policies are transparent, consistent, and benefit the American public.”

Grassley’s office released a statement about trade powers made by the senator in 2019.

“Congress should take back some of this delegation of its Constitutional authority and rebalance trade powers between the two branches in a responsible way that doesn’t impede a president’s ability to protect America’s national security,” he said at the time.

On Wednesday, Trump introduced a 10% baseline tariff rate for all countries and released a list of even higher tariffs on select countries. He called the event “Liberation Day.”

The president had already lashed out at four Republicans who had announced their opposition to his tariffs on Canada and were going to join Democrats on an effort to end them. The president pointed out that the bill would be defeated in the House, and even in the unlikely event it passed, he would never sign it.

“To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals,” said Trump. “They have been extremely difficult to deal with and, unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself.”

The United States Department of Education issued what it described as its final warning to Maine’s Department of Education over the state allowing males to compete against females.

Citing President Trump’s executive order to prevent women’s sports from being infiltrated by men, the federal entity opened an investigation into Maine’s education department in February. Now, the federal department said it is asking the state to fall in line with the federal mandate or face possible enforcement from the Department of Justice when it turns in the results of its Title IX investigation.

In March, the Civil Rights Office said the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals’ Association, and Greely High School are each in violation of Title IX.

As Blaze News previously reported, Greely High School in Cumberland, Maine, allowed a male athlete to take first place in a girls’ pole vault competition.

About a week later, a male athlete took a podium spot from a female athlete in Maine’s state championship for girls’ high school Nordic skiing.

In both instances, the Maine Principals’ Association took responsibility for governing high school sports in the state and also declared it would not follow the president’s executive order.

Just days after the U.S. Department of Education announced that the state entities were violating Title IX, the University of Maine System announced it would comply with the new federal standard after it revealed it lost millions in federal grants that were put on pause by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

‘Under prior administrations, enforcement was an illusory proposition.’

The Department of Education said in its recent press release that it had proposed a resolution with Maine’s Department of Education but that the state has declined to take action on the matter.

Craig Trainor, the acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said the Maine Department of Education’s indifference to “its past, current, and future female athletes” is “astonishing.”

“By refusing to comply with Title IX, MDOE allows — indeed, encourages — male competitors to threaten the safety of female athletes, wrongfully obtain girls’ hard-earned accolades, and deny females equal opportunity in educational activities to which they are guaranteed under Title IX,” Trainor stated.

Trainor added, “Under prior administrations, enforcement was an illusory proposition. No more. The Trump-McMahon Education Department is moving quickly to ensure that federal funds no longer support patently illegal practices that harm women and girls.”

Maine and California are also in the crosshairs of the federal government for possible violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment.

We all know cheating is in the Democrats’ playbook, and sometimes they tell us so themselves. For example, several Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), are suing President Trump for his recent executive order that aims to secure elections by requiring voter ID — something the vast majority of Americans support.

There’s only one reason to oppose something so obviously good for the nation, says Sara Gonzales. You want to cheat.

Guest Amy Robbins, host of “The Amy Robbins Show,” says she recently had to show her ID just to buy some Benadryl.

“You won’t let me take home this Benadryl without my ID, but dang it, we can sure vote on the direction of this country without an ID,” she scoffs.

She then brings up another good point: In the last election, “Every single blue state that Kamala won didn’t require voter ID.”

Coincidence? Not a chance.

Democrats know that to secure elections means to lose votes, but they can’t admit that, so instead they whine that voter ID is “voter suppression.”

“It’s voter suppression to require people to follow the damn law because [requiring citizenship to vote] is already the freaking law,” says Sara. All this executive order is doing is saying, “Instead of taking your word for it, we’d like to see some proof.”

The only voter suppression that will be happening under Trump’s EO is the suppression of illegal immigrant votes, which is “kind of the whole point,” she adds.

“I do want some voter suppression … the illegal votes,” she continues. “If you want to call that voter suppression, go right ahead, but at the end of the day, it’s just called following the law.”

BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden, who immigrated to the U.S. from Britain, says that legal immigrants should be 100% on board with this legislation.

When a legal immigrant votes, “There’s a sense of belonging, and it’s a barrier that you’ve overcome. You feel like you’ve actually done something to warrant you being in the country, and to just say [voter ID] doesn’t matter diminishes what it means to become an American,” he tells the panel.

Undercover footage obtained by Anthony Rubin’s watchdog outfit, Muckraker, and published by the Oversight Project shows the Chinese-American Planning Council, a taxpayer-funded group based in New York City, provide training on how to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from enforcing federal law and removing illegal aliens from the homeland.

Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project —
now a 501(c)(4) organization independent of the Heritage Foundation — told Blaze News, “This type of conduct supported by taxpayers and far left politicians transcends just policy disagreements. This is a conspiracy of individuals and organizations to thwart law enforcement.”

Howell indicated that the Oversight Project has referred this matter to the Trump administration as well as to Mayor Eric Adams (D).

“We will find out if Mayor Adams is serious about being tough on illegal immigration or just talks a big game for politics,” said Howell.

The leftist group

The
stated purpose of the CPC, supposedly “the nation’s largest Asian American social service organization,” is to address “the evolving needs of Chinese American, immigrant, and low-income communities and promot[e] an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.”

The organization has enjoyed the support of various Democratic lawmakers from New York, including U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Reps. Dan Goldman, Grace Meng, Jerry Nadler, and Nydia Velazquez, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

According to its latest financial statement, it received over $46.8 million in government grants and contracts between July 2023 and June 2024.

‘We have a few ways that you can get ready.’

The
leftist organization has made no secret of its opposition to the proper enforcement of American immigration laws.

The group has, for instance,
condemned government policies that “target communities through raids, arrests, and separations,” as well as American policies that “passively but intentionally erode existing pathways to immigration and naturalization.”

In addition to providing illegal aliens with advanced warnings of ICE raids, the group has held
multiple “Know Your Rights” seminars “explaining how New Yorkers can protect themselves and their communities from the overreach of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”

The CPC
scrubbed its page of evidence of a March 13 “Know Your Rights” webinar but not before Blaze News was able to capture a screenshot, below.

Rubin indicated that Rep. Goldman, who apparently requested $1 million federal taxpayer dollars for the CPC, was featured on promotional material for one of these anti-ICE events.

The footage

In the footage published by the Oversight Project,
Carlyn Cowen, the chief policy and public affairs officer of the CPC, provided would-be subversives with an example of an ICE-evasion tactic used in a restaurant where she works weekends.

“What we train everybody to do is if we see ICE come to the door, we actually enter a button in our [point-of-sale] system that says ‘la migra’ and you click it, and then it prints a ticket to everywhere else in the restaurant so that everybody knows, right?” said Cowen. “So different kinds of protocols based on the type of organization or space.”

“No matter what kind of organization or business that you’re in, we have a few ways that you can get ready,” said Cowen. “Number one is hardening your physical space.”

‘Such gross misuse of taxpayer funds by partisan activist organizations must be swiftly addressed.’

“Number two is doing a data audit and updating your data protection polices,” continued the radical. “Number three, identifying a list of individuals that are authorized to respond if ICE comes to the door and then having a clear protocol. And then number four, training everybody who’s going to be involved in the proper procedure and making sure they feel ready and confident to respond.”

In another clip taken at the same ICE evasion seminar, a leftist social worker named Janice Northia played footage of Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, discussing the efforts by NGOs to help illegal aliens avoid deportation.

“[Homan] is very upset that the community is getting to know their rights,” said Northia. “So when we see that’s the message that they’re giving us, it’s showing, right, what it’s — the fact that we’re being informed is making it difficult for them to do their job.”

Northia subsequently ran the audience through ways to identify and avoid ICE agents.

Blaze News reached out to the CPC for comment but did not receive a response by deadline.

— (@)

“Where are the Chinese-Americans and the Planning in this Council?” Howell
quipped on X.

The Oversight Project president told Blaze News, “Opposing basic immigration enforcement policy is one thing, actually being aware of and supporting efforts taken to impede it is a whole different ballgame and one that can get into criminal territory fast.”

“Why are our taxpayer dollars going to radical political organizations, which actively seek to undermine the rule of law in our country?” said Anthony Rubin of Muckraker. “Organizations such as the CPC should have no place receiving taxpayer dollars while they engage in anti-law, pro-illegal immigration activism. Such gross misuse of taxpayer funds by partisan activist organizations must be swiftly addressed.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 25 meant to protect the integrity of American elections.

Trump’s order is aimed at shoring up voter citizenship verification; prioritizing the prosecution of noncitizen voting and related crimes; conditioning federal election-related funds on states’ compliance with integrity measures set forth by federal law; and ensuring that agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security provide states with access to federal databases so that they can verify the eligibility of individuals registering to vote.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and other Democrats were apparently unable to stomach the prospect of more secure and trustworthy elections.

The Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Governors Association, and the leftist party’s congressional leaders filed a lawsuit against Trump and his administration in a D.C.-based U.S. District court on Monday.

Democrats suggested in their complaint that by requiring voters to prove they are American citizens and by preventing states from counting mail-in ballots submitted after Election Day, Trump was threatening to “disenfranchise lawful voters.” The lawsuit downplayed the threat of foreign nationals voting in American elections, suggesting that “non-citizen voting is exceedingly rare.”

‘You are literally suing to allow illegals to be left on the voter [rolls].’

“Because the Order does not ‘stem either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself,’ it is an unlawful exercise of authority that must be declared invalid,” said the complaint, adding that provisions of the order violate the Constitution, the Administrative Procedure Act, the National Voter Registration Act, and other laws.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said in response to the lawsuit, “Why are top Democrats suing to allow non-citizens to vote in American elections. You know why.”

Elon Musk replied, “Fraud.”

Musk’s comment clearly got under the skin of Schumer, one of the plaintiffs named in the suit, who tweeted, “Republicans are denying elections. That’s the fraud. That’s what our lawsuit is about. Trump’s election-denying executive order.”

‘Democrats oppose any attempt to enforce citizen-only voting.’

Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt (R) seized upon Schumer’s quote, tweeting, “Democrats want illegal immigrants to vote. That’s the fraud. That’s what your lawsuit is about.”

“After the 2030 census, Democrats will never win the presidency again. … Unless they continue to flood swing states with illegals. That’s what this is about,” noted the Republican Party of New York.

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) told Schumer, “You are literally suing to allow illegals to be left on the voter [rolls].”

Lee also hit Schumer over his bizarre message, writing, “So you’re suing to make sure noncitizens can vote — because ‘Republicans are denying elections’?”

In a subsequent message, the Utah Republican wrote, “Last year, 143 House Democrats voted to allow non-citizen voting in our nation’s capital. Democrat leaders have explicitly argued for non-citizen voting rights in the past. Democrats oppose any attempt to enforce citizen-only voting. Americans know what they’re up to.”

The Democrats’ lawsuit requests that the court block the Trump administration from taking any action to implement Trump’s order and to declare that elements of it violate both the constitutional separation of powers and various federal laws.

The women of “The View” spoke out against the death penalty recommendation for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing a health care CEO, but Joy Behar went farther in her prediction.

Behar said that Republicans might face a political backlash from supporters of Mangione because he’s so popular.

‘I do not see him as a candidate for the death penalty. He’s a first-time offender. He is young.’

“Do you think there would be a big backlash? Because he’s very popular, this guy, I mean there could be a backlash,” she said. “All I’m saying is, politically, it could be a backlash against Republicans to give him the death penalty.”

The other co-hosts argued that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should not have called for the death penalty for Mangione. Sunny Hostin, who was formerly a federal prosecutor, explained that Bondi had ignored the typical prosecutorial process.

“It just seems like the attorney general is acting, really, against our institutional standards, which is what this administration is doing,” she said after describing it as an “assault on the process.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin said she supported the death penalty generally but not for Mangione.

“I personally believe in the death penalty in the most extreme cases, terrorism, mass murder, with the most extensive appeals process in place so that mistakes are not made,” said Griffin. “I personally, I think Luigi Mangione, if convicted, should spend his life in jail. I do not see him as a candidate for the death penalty. He’s a first-time offender. He is young, and he is somebody prison systems are meant to rehabilitate and to punish.”

Sara Haines added that Mangione had become something of a cult hero to many on the left and to some on the right who saw the killing as a justifiable blow against corporate greed.

Mangione was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s about a week after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed on the streets of Manhattan outside a hotel in December. Police said they found a ghost gun and fake identification in his possession, as well as $8,000 of U.S. currency and $2,000 worth of foreign currency.

The 26-year-old has pleaded not guilty to state charges that include first-degree murder and terrorism.

Video of the illuminating conversation can be viewed on the YouTube channel of “The View.”
