Summary

The LIRR strike has ended, though some traffic delays remain. Most trains are expected to resume service today. On MSNOW’s Morning Joe, Dell’s stock was reported as likely to increase in value; some hosts speculated about possible connections to President Trump, but there is no direct evidence supporting these claims. President Trump announced the creation of an Anti-Weaponization Fund to support January 6th defendants who experienced financial losses following prosecution. The fund may also assist lawyers and political figures involved in the cases. Recently, Trump withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS concerning the handling of his tax returns. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer commented on the fund during recent remarks.
