Today marks one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

At just 18, Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA in Illinois and went on to build it into a major conservative youth organization with a nationwide presence. His campus debates, media appearances and digital platforms made him one of the most recognizable voices in the modern conservative movement.

Kirk was a strong advocate for conservative values, faith, family and limited government, and he worked to mobilize young Americans around those ideas.

A year after his death, his influence remains visible through the organization he founded, which continues expanding its presence on college and high-school campuses. His widow, Erika Kirk, has also spoken publicly about grief, faith and raising their children following his death.

One year later, Charlie Kirk remains a deeply significant figure to the movement he helped build—and his legacy continues to shape the political conversation among young conservatives across the country.

Abdul El-Sayed was born in the United States, while Melania Trump was born in Slovenia and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006 after obtaining lawful permanent residency.

El-Sayed has called for abolishing ICE while also saying the southern border should remain safe and secure and that immigration laws should be enforced.

Melania Trump, meanwhile, immigrated to the United States through the legal immigration system, receiving permanent residency in 2001 before becoming a citizen.

The contrast has become part of a broader political debate over immigration enforcement, legal immigration and the role of ICE.

For Americans watching that debate, the central question remains: Should immigration policy prioritize stronger enforcement, expanded legal pathways, or some combination of both?

Those disagreements are political—not questions that can be settled simply by where an individual was born.

The New York Times has rejected President Donald Trump’s demand for a retraction over reporting by Maggie Haberman concerning his plans for the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and his disputed accounts of his actions following the attacks.

Trump attacked Haberman on Truth Social, calling her reporting false and making personal remarks about the journalist. The Times responded bluntly: “We won’t be issuing a retraction.”

The newspaper said the episode was another example of Trump “lashing out” at coverage he disagrees with and directed readers to its reporting on his 9/11 plans and his “evolving—and often disputed” account of his actions surrounding the attacks.

The dispute centers in part on a Times report that Trump planned to mark the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon rather than Ground Zero, where politicians have traditionally participated without giving speeches. The original report cited four people familiar with the situation.

Trump has disputed the reporting and defended his account of being near Ground Zero after the attacks. The controversy has now become another public clash between the president and one of the country’s largest news organizations over coverage of his record and statements about 9/11.

It’s hard to look back at the assassination attempt in Butler—and the other serious threats against President Trump—without thinking about how close history came to changing in an instant.

The Butler shooting was especially shocking. Trump turned his head at what may have been the exact moment that changed the outcome. A tiny difference in timing could have produced a completely different tragedy, witnessed by millions around the world.

For those who believe in God, moments like that can feel like more than coincidence. Many supporters see Trump’s survival as a sign of divine protection and believe he still has a purpose to fulfill.

Whatever one’s political views, the images from that day remain a powerful reminder of how quickly history can turn—and how fragile life can be.

Gill launched a blistering attack on Lindsay Clancy, saying he has “zero sympathy” for her and believes she should face punishment for the deaths of her three children.

Clancy has admitted killing her children, while her defense has argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and therefore lacked criminal responsibility at the time.

Gill strongly rejected that argument, saying mental illness should not be used to excuse the killing of children and accusing society of “medicalizing evil.”

After seven days of deliberations, however, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The judge ultimately declared a mistrial, leaving the case unresolved and raising the possibility of a retrial.

The outcome has reignited debate over mental illness, criminal responsibility and how the justice system should handle cases involving severe psychiatric disorders.

On May 14, the U.S. Senate approved Sen. John Kennedy’s resolution to withhold senators’ pay during future government shutdowns. The measure passed by voice vote after a 99–0 procedural vote the previous day.

Under the resolution, the Secretary of the Senate would hold senators’ compensation during a shutdown and release the money after the government reopens. Kennedy described the approach as essentially putting senators’ checks “in a vault.”

The measure applies only to the Senate, not the House of Representatives, and it takes effect after the November 2026 election, in accordance with the 27th Amendment.

The proposal was not always unanimous. In March, Kennedy attempted to advance it by unanimous consent during the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, but Sen. Brian Schatz objected.

According to the Senate resolution’s sponsor, the federal government experienced full or partial shutdowns totaling more than 119 days between October 1, 2025, and May 1, 2026, while members of Congress continued receiving their compensation.

The new rule is intended to change that for senators in future shutdowns—but it does not currently impose the same restriction on House members.

FACT CHECK: WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS ABOUT TRUMP AND 9/11

Donald Trump was near Ground Zero in the days following the September 11 attacks and gave interviews on September 13, 2001, in which he said more than 100 of his workers were helping at the site, with additional workers on the way. However, available evidence has not independently confirmed that hundreds of Trump employees participated in the recovery operation.

Trump later said he had personally helped clear rubble “a little bit.” PolitiFact reported that it could not verify that claim, and former FDNY chief Richard Alles said he had no knowledge of Trump or a large Trump-organized crew working at Ground Zero.

The evidence does establish that Trump was in the vicinity of Ground Zero. What remains unverified is the extent of his personal involvement in the rescue and recovery effort.

That distinction matters when remembering the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, construction workers and volunteers who carried out the dangerous work at Ground Zero—and the many who lost their lives responding to the attacks.

On August 31, Rep. Thomas Massie took the Epstein files fight to the House floor — and named 14 people he described as Epstein “co-conspirators.”

Among them were Prince Andrew, Les Wexner, Leon Black, Jes Staley, David Copperfield, and Tom Pritzker. Two of the 14 are deceased.

Massie made the allegations during a floor speech, where the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause provides broad protections for lawmakers’ legislative speech. The names and allegations are Massie’s — not court findings. Several people he named have never been charged with Epstein-related crimes, and some have denied wrongdoing.

President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law in November 2025. Massie, who co-authored the original bill with Democrat Ro Khanna, now says the government continues to withhold millions of records.

Massie has also launched a discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which would give victims, state attorneys general, and members of Congress additional avenues to challenge alleged withholding or redaction of records. It requires 218 House signatures to force consideration.

The central question now is whether Congress will force the remaining records into the open.

BREAKING: NAACP CALLS FOR TRUMP’S REMOVAL UNDER 25TH AMENDMENT

In a historic first, the NAACP has called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, marking the first time in the organization’s history it has made such a demand.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson urged Vice President JD Vance and Cabinet officials to consider invoking the constitutional provision, citing what the organization described as concerns over Trump’s health, behavior and ability to carry out the duties of the presidency.

“This president is unfit, unwell, and unhinged,” Johnson said.

Section 4 allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare that a president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, triggering a constitutional process that can ultimately involve Congress.

The NAACP’s unprecedented call has intensified an already heated national debate over presidential fitness, executive authority and the constitutional limits of political opposition.

Democrats are pushing a proposal to establish 18-year terms for Supreme Court justices, replacing the current system of lifetime tenure.

Modern Supreme Court justices have served an average of roughly 26 years, compared with about 15 years historically. State supreme court justices, meanwhile, average roughly 13 years, and lifetime tenure is rare among state high courts.

Under the proposal backed by Democratic senators, a new justice would take the bench every two years, giving each president two appointments during a four-year term. After 18 years of active Supreme Court service, justices would move into a senior role with modified duties rather than simply leaving the federal judiciary.

Supporters say the system would create predictable turnover and reduce the influence of chance and retirement timing on the Court’s composition.

The proposal represents a significant change from the current lifetime-tenure system and is part of a broader debate over how the Supreme Court should operate.
