House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is calling for President Donald Trump to be recognized on the world stage after his decisive leadership brought unprecedented safety to the nationโ€™s capital.

On Monday, Johnson said Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize following 11 straight days without a single reported murder in Washington, D.C. โ€” a stunning turnaround after Trump took charge of the cityโ€™s police force.

โ€œThere are MANY reasons why President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize โ€“ but 11 straight days with ZERO murders in Washington, D.C. might top the list,โ€ Johnson posted on social media. โ€œSAFER streets. STRONGER communities. AMERICA IS BACK!โ€

Trump Delivers Where Democrats Failed

The numbers come from the Metropolitan Police Departmentโ€™s own preliminary data: from August 14 through August 24, not one homicide was reported in the city.

This sharp decline follows Trumpโ€™s August 11 takeover of D.C.โ€™s police department, a bold move to re-establish law and order in a city long plagued by violent crime under Democrat leadership. Since Trump stepped in, only two killings have been reported โ€” one on August 11, and another on August 13.

Critics may try to downplay the results, noting there was a 16-day stretch earlier this year without a murder, but itโ€™s clear that Trumpโ€™s hands-on leadership and โ€œlaw and orderโ€ agenda have already had a direct impact on restoring peace and safety to Americaโ€™s capital.

A President Who Gets Results

President Trump has never hidden his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize โ€” and many argue he has already earned it for his historic Middle East peace agreements, his refusal to drag America into new foreign wars, and now, for bringing real results to Americaโ€™s streets.

Even world leaders agree. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing Trumpโ€™s unmatched record of delivering peace and stability.

The Bottom Line

While Democrats and the mainstream media remain silent, the facts are clear: Trumpโ€™s leadership is saving lives. Speaker Johnsonโ€™s call for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize isnโ€™t just political theater โ€” it reflects the reality that Trumpโ€™s America First agenda delivers real safety, real security, and real peace.

Suspect Arrested In Attempted Murder Plot Targeting OMB Director Russell Vought

A Maryland man has been accused of attempting to murder Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, according to NewsNation.

Court records from Arlington General District Court show that Colin Demarco was arrested on Jan. 22 and arraigned the following day. Records indicate he faces multiple charges, including first-degree attempted murder, first-degree solicitation to commit murder, wearing a mask in certain places, and carrying a concealed firearm, a misdemeanor.

Demarco is accused of plotting to kill Vought, a law enforcement source briefed on the case told NewsNation.

Police say they were called to a Virginia residence on Aug. 10 after a witness reported that a man wearing a surgical mask and rubber gloves appeared to be standing on Voughtโ€™s porch while possibly concealing a firearm under his shirt.

According to authorities, the suspect approached the witness and asked about Vought before leaving the scene.

Investigators later identified Demarco as the man described and executed search warrants that reportedly uncovered evidence tying him to the alleged plot. NewsNation reported that authorities found Demarco had obtained directions to the budget directorโ€™s home, had posted online about the victim, and had engaged in online discussions that appeared to solicit others to murder Vought.

Demarco is currently being held without bond. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Feb. 23 for a preliminary hearing. Court records list him as being represented by a public defender.

The case comes amid heightened concern nationwide over threats directed at public officials. In recent years, federal authorities have warned of an increase in violent rhetoric and plots targeting government figures across the political spectrum, including presidents, members of Congress, and senior administration officials.

Earlier this week, Ryan Routh was sentenced to life in prison plus seven years over his attempt to assassinate Donald Trump on a Florida golf course.

Prosecutors argued that Routh, 60, should get a life sentence after a jury last year convicted him on five counts for allegedly plotting โ€œpainstakingly to kill President Trump, and [taking] significant steps toward making that happen.โ€ 

โ€œRouthโ€™s crimes undeniably warrant a life sentence โ€” he took steps over the course of months to assassinate a major presidential candidate, demonstrated the will to kill anybody in the way, and has since expressed neither regret nor remorse to his victims,โ€ prosecutors argued in a court filing. 

During the September trial, a jury quickly found Routh guilty on five felony counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate and assaulting a federal officer. 

Routh allegedly hid in the bushes of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and pointed a military-grade SKS rifle towards Trump and a Secret Service agent. 

Florida Reporter Suspended After Texting MAGA Congressman After Kirk Shooting

No room for this behavior…

A reporter with a popular Florida political website was immediately suspended after attempting to capitalize on the shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk.

The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when theย shootingย occurred. Video taken by students attending his speech shows Kirk appearing to have been shot in the neck after the sound of a single gunshot was heard. Kirk was later pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Kirk was a popular figure in conservative media circles and a prominent supporter of Presidentย Donald Trump, encouraging the young voters in his organization to vote for Trump during his presidential campaigns and speaking at theย Republican National Conventionย in Milwaukee last year.

News of the shootingย stunnedย politicians and commentators on both sides of the aisle, who offered prayers for his family and condemnations of political violence.

Wednesday afternoon, after news of the shooting had spread but before it was known that Kirk had died,ย A.G. Gancarski, a reporter with theย Florida Politicsย website, texted Rep.ย Randy Fineย (R-FL), a Republicanย electedย to Congress earlier this year in a special election.

According to a screenshot posted by Fine, Gancarski asked him โ€œif Charlie Kirk getting shot affects your position on campus carry?โ€

โ€œIf gun control had been in play could the tragedy have been avoided?โ€ Gancarski added.

โ€œI learned that Charlie Kirk was shot 23 minutes ago. I am repulsed that you would even think to ask a political question when all anyone should be doing is praying for his survival,โ€ Fine wrote back. โ€œNever contact me again.โ€

Fine shared a screenshot of the texts on social media along with a caption that read, โ€œYou donโ€™t hate the media enough.โ€

Less than an hour later,ย Peter Schorsch, the founder and publisher of Florida Politics, posted that he had โ€œimmediately suspended [Gancarski] from his position with [Florida Politics].โ€

Schorsch then noted that he had โ€œurged [Gancarski] to go dark on social media for the time being while we address this situation,โ€ and invited anyone with comments or questions to email him. Gancarskiโ€™s account on X has been set to private and is no longer publicly viewable.

Another X userย postedย a screenshot of a tweet Gancarski had purportedly sent to Fine before deleting it and locking down his account. In the screenshot, Gancarski replied to Fine that it was a โ€œvalid questionโ€ because Fine โ€œran a bill that would have allowed โ€˜campus carry’โ€ as a state senator, but had left the legislature by the time of theย April 17 shootingย at Florida State University.

โ€œI stand by the question,โ€ Gancarski wrote. โ€œTragedy is ultimately what tests policy positions.โ€

Mediaite and other outlats have not yet confirmed the authenticity of this screenshot, but it does accurately display Gancarskiโ€™s username on X and most recent profile photo. Mediaite reached out to Schorsch for comment but did not receive a reply.

Report: Trump Says He Will โ€˜Look Atโ€™ Pardon For Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Conspiracy

Gretchen Whitmer delivers remarks during a press briefing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., on April 29, 2025.โ€‹ The visit marked President Trumpโ€™s 100th day in office, during which he announced the basing of F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets at Selfridgeโ€”underscoring the installationโ€™s growing strategic role. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by 2nd Lt. Paige Bodine)

Speaking to reporters Wednesday from the Oval Office, President Donald J. Trump said he is open to reviewing the cases of those convicted in connection with the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, calling the prosecutions potentially unjust and saying โ€œa lot of people think they got railroaded.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m going to look at it. I will take a look at it. Itโ€™s been brought to my attention,โ€ Trump said in response to questions about possible pardons for the men convicted in the case.

โ€œI did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job, Iโ€™ll be honest with you. It looked to me like some people said some stupid thingsโ€”you know, they were drinkingโ€”and I think they said stupid things.โ€

The comments come as President Trump continues to highlight what he calls the Biden administrationโ€™s weaponization of federal law enforcement and the justice systemโ€”a message that resonates with many conservatives concerned about double standards in legal prosecutions.

โ€œA lot of people think they got railroaded,โ€ Trump repeated. โ€œAnd probably some people donโ€™t. But Iโ€™ll take a look at it.โ€

The case involved Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., who were convicted in 2022 for what federal prosecutors described as a plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer from her Michigan vacation home during the COVID lockdowns. The prosecutionโ€™s narrative focused on the pairโ€™s frustration over pandemic mandates, which they said amounted to government overreach.

Fox was sentenced to 16 years in prison, and Croft to 19 years, on multiple conspiracy charges, including a scheme to use a weapon of mass destruction. Prosecutors claimed they were part of a larger militia movement called the โ€œWolverine Watchmen.โ€

However, even mainstream legal analysts and civil liberties watchdogs raised concerns at the time about the FBIโ€™s heavy involvement in the case, including the use of over a dozen informants and undercover agents who appeared to guide, encourage, and escalate the planning efforts.

Some defense attorneys went so far as to claim that the plot was manufactured by federal operatives, with one legal team calling it a โ€œfederal setup from day one.โ€ In fact, three other men tried later in connection with the plot were acquitted on all charges in 2023, further fueling criticism that the entire case may have been an exercise in political theater during a heated election cycle.

President Trumpโ€™s interest in revisiting the case follows his recent high-profile pardon of former Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins, a well-known Virginia conservative convicted in a controversial cash-for-badges case. Trump described Jenkins as a victim of a โ€œcorrupt and weaponized Biden DOJ,โ€ echoing his belief that the justice system has been used selectively to punish his political allies.

Former NFL Kicker Dragged Out Of City Council Meeting After Calling MAGA ‘A Nazi Movement’

Former NFL punterย Chris Kluweย was removed from a California city council meeting by police after a self-described act of โ€œcivil disobedienceโ€ while attacking Donald Trump.

The reason for Kluweโ€™s protest revolved around a sign proposed for Huntington Beachโ€™s public library, which would have the words “Magical,” “Alluring,” “Galvanizing” and “Adventurous” next to each other. The words spell out MAGA.

“Through hope and change our nation has built back better to the golden era of Making America Great Again!” the signage reads.

Video captured Kluwe speaking at the City Council meeting, where he criticized the MAGA movement, which is typically associated withย President Donald Trumpโ€™s campaign message, “Make America Great Again.” He opined that it was “a Nazi movement.”

โ€œIโ€™m gonna take my time to say what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks,โ€ said Kluwe. โ€œMAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal.โ€

โ€œMAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide,โ€ the former punter added. โ€œMAGA stands for cutting funds for education, including for disabled children. MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakenly anti-democracy, and most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement.โ€

Kluwe then slightly elevated his voice to say, โ€œYou may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.

“I will now engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience,” Kluwe said at the end of his speech to the City Council before walking up to the front where the council members were sitting. 

Video posted by HB Protect on X showed police officers quickly arresting Kluwe, who was face down on the floor with a crowd cheering behind him for his actions. The City Council’s feed cut out before Kluwe was seen rushing the council members.

He was then carried out by three police officers, two of whom holding one arm each and the other carrying the former punterโ€™s legs. 

Kluwe was charged with disrupting an assembly. He told the Orange County Register he was released around four hours after his arrest. He said his belief was that the plaque was more “propaganda” than celebrating the library, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Watch:

Kluwe, 43, played eight years in the NFL, all for the Minnesota Vikings, from 2005-12. 

Cuban Regime Finally Loses a Longtime Fugitive: Joanne โ€œAssataโ€ Shakur Dies in Havana

3

Havana, Cuba โ€” On September 25, 2025, Cubaโ€™s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Joanne Deborah Byron โ€” better known by her aliases Joanne Chesimard and Assata Shakur โ€” died in Havana at the age of 78 due to health complications and the rigors of old age.

This news brings to a close a decades-long saga in which a convicted murderer escaped justice, was shielded by a hostile foreign regime, and became a symbol for radical causes.


A Fugitiveโ€™s Origin: From Violent Crime to Escape to Cuba

In 1977, Chesimard was convicted on multiple serious charges including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and other felonies after a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that left State Trooper Werner Foerster dead.

She escaped prison in 1979, spent years underground, and resurfaced in 1984 under asylum in Cuba โ€” a regime that refused U.S. extradition requests.

For decades, the United States and New Jersey authorities pushed Cuba to hand her over. She carried the dubious distinction of being the first woman ever placed on the FBIโ€™s Most Wanted Terrorists list, with a $1 million reward for her capture.


A Death Without Accountability

Her passing in Havana presents a bitter irony: after decades of immunity facilitated by a foreign government, she dies free โ€” far from the prison cell where she was supposed to serve life in the U.S.

New Jersey officials immediately expressed outrage. They reiterated that justice was never fully served for Trooper Foersterโ€™s family.

Cubaโ€™s complicity in harboring Chesimard has long been roundly condemned by American leaders. Senator Marco Rubio recently denounced Havana for providing โ€œa safe haven for terrorists and criminals, including fugitives from the United States.โ€

What She Represented โ€” and What the U.S. Must Learn

For defenders of law and order, her story is a cautionary tale of diplomatic failure and ideological double standards.

  • Rule of Law Must Be Absolute: A convicted cop killer escaping and living with impunity is a stain on the integrity of the justice system.
  • Foreign Regimes Should Not Shield Criminals: Cubaโ€™s refusal to extradite Chesimard fashioned her into a political symbol, rather than merely a criminal. That sets a dangerous precedent.
  • Consistency in Foreign Policy Matters: If the U.S. does not forcefully demand accountability from regimes that shelter fugitives, it weakens its moral and strategic footing.

Now that she has died abroad, the question of bringing her remains home may arise. But more importantly, the memory of Trooper Foerster โ€” his sacrifice and service โ€” must remain central. And the mission remains: to hold foreign governments accountable when they interfere with American justice.

NYC Mayor โ€˜Welcomesโ€™ Possible Trump Support After Corruption Indictment

2

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is looking for support anywhere he can get it.

Adams said he would โ€œwelcome support from every Americanโ€ in response to aย questionย from theย Washington Examinerย about whether he would accept former Presidentย Donald Trumpโ€™sย favor.

Trump recently said he had predicted Adams would be โ€œindicted within a yearโ€ as the mayor called for federal government funds to deal with the cityโ€™s migrant crisis.

โ€œListen, I welcome support from every American,โ€ Adams said Tuesday at a press conference. โ€œNo matter where they are and who they are, I welcome support from every American. Those who know me and know how I am, and those who are just reading up on this. So every American in this great country, I welcome support from.โ€

Trumpโ€™s comments last week suggested that he sympathized with the mayor.

โ€œI watched about a year ago when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city, and the federal government should pay us, and we shouldnโ€™t have to take them,โ€ the former president said. โ€œAnd I said, โ€˜You know what? Heโ€™ll be indicted within a year,โ€™ and I was exactly right.โ€

Watch:

An Adams spokesman believes press coverage of Adamsโ€™s remarks has been misguided.

โ€œThis is a distortion of what the mayor said today,โ€ Fabien Levy, Adamsโ€™s deputy mayor for communications, said in a social media post. โ€œHe never said he was looking for Trumpโ€™s support. Mayor Adams has said multiple times that he supports Kamala Harris for president. In fact, the mayor traveled to Chicago to support her historic nomination in August.โ€

Adams was recently indicted on five corruption charges, including bribery and wire fraud, for his actions allegedly soliciting benefits from foreign nationals, namely Turkish government officials, in exchange for favors.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams could be facing a bevy of new charges after being indicted last week in a federal corruption case. On Wednesday, prosecutors said that further counts are โ€œquite likelyโ€ and that more defendants may be implicated.

Woman Gets Instant Dose Of Karma After Making Assassination Threat

What goes around comes around…

A woman may be facing a visit from the Feds after threatening to kill Trump senior adviser and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.

TikTok user @sarahcroberts shared a now-deleted video calling for the Tesla and X owner to be assassinated.

“We need to X him [Musk], and by X I mean, formally known as assassination. And it’s a warning from the FBI is going to f*cking show up. Arrest me. You don’t have enough people to even investigate me at this point. I haven’t filed my taxes in, like, eight years and yet, nobody has come for me. So, I’m going to f*cking say it. Let’s assassinate some motherf*ckers,” the woman said in the video.

Her video captured the attention of the federal government, setting @sarahcroberts up for a very uncomfortable road ahead.

Ed Martin, the US Attorney for Washington, D.C., responded on X saying they’ll “talk soon” and she’s going to be put “in the system.”

The Daily Callerย reportedย that she deleted her entire account following the video going viral.

Musk has faced a growing number of threats since associating with President Trump.

The incident comes months after a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

U.S. Army soldier drove the Cybertruck, which he rented from Turo, outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Monday morning. Upon arriving, the vehicle was detonated by explosives in the car.

Investigators found fireworks, gasoline canisters and camping fuel in the remains of the vehicle. The soldier was believed to have fatally shot himself shortly before the explosion.

On the day of the attack, Musk commented on X that the individual โ€œpicked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attackโ€ because the โ€œCybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.โ€

House Democrats Release Emails Linking Epstein and Trump in Ongoing Oversight Probe

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released a new batch of emails connected to Jeffrey Epstein that reference President Donald Trump.

The correspondence, which includes messages between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff, was reportedly obtained from Epsteinโ€™s estate as part of an ongoing congressional review of more than 23,000 documents.

By Ralph Alswang, White House photographer – https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/clinton-epstein-maxwell/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=143417695

In a 2011 email to Maxwell, Epstein wrote that Mr. Trump โ€œspent hours at my houseโ€ with one of Epsteinโ€™s alleged victims, whose name was redacted. โ€œI want you to realize that that dog that hasnโ€™t barked is Trump. [Victim 1] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned,โ€ Epstein wrote. Maxwell responded, โ€œI have been thinking about thatโ€ฆโ€

Another message, dated January 31, 2019, appears to show Epstein corresponding with Wolff about Mr. Trump and Mar-a-Lago. โ€œTrump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop,โ€ Epstein wrote.

A third exchange between Epstein and Wolff, dated December 15, 2015, discusses how then-candidate Trump might respond to media questions about his connection to Epstein. Wolff wrote, โ€œI hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with youโ€”either on air or in scrum afterwards.โ€ Epstein replied, โ€œif we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?โ€ Wolff responded, โ€œI think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasnโ€™t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency… Of course, it is possible that, when asked, heโ€™ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.โ€

Mr. Trump announced his first presidential campaign in June 2015. Wolff later wrote Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, published in 2018.

Epstein and Mr. Trump were social acquaintances in New York and Florida from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. The President has said he cut ties with Epstein in 2004, long before Epsteinโ€™s 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. Mr. Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing.

Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan federal jail in 2019 while awaiting trial. Maxwell was later convicted of conspiring in Epsteinโ€™s sex trafficking operation and is serving a 20-year sentence.

Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said in a statement that the Justice Department should release its full Epstein files โ€œimmediately.โ€

He added, โ€œThe more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover. These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.โ€

The email release coincides with a broader congressional push for transparency in the Epstein case. Lawmakers are reviewing materials from Epsteinโ€™s estate and have sought information from former officials, including past attorneys general and FBI directors. The committee has also questioned Alex Acosta, the former U.S. attorney who oversaw Epsteinโ€™s controversial plea deal in Florida and later served as Labor Secretary under Mr. Trump. Acosta resigned in 2019 amid scrutiny over his handling of the Epstein case.

The House returned to session Wednesday for the first time since mid-September, with Democrats expected to advance a discharge petition to compel the Justice Department to make public its Epstein investigation files. A vote on the measure is not expected until next month.

Police Arrest Man For Disturbing Act At Charlie Kirk Memorial

A sick individual…

Law enforcement authorities arrested a man for desecrating a memorial honoring the late political activist Charlie Kirk over the weekend.

Fox News cameras were rolling as the man walked through the memorial, kicking over items including flowers, vases and flags. A mourner gathered at the memorial stepped in to stop the man’s sick actions. A man in a blue polo shirt is seen yanking the man out of the memorial and throwing him to the ground. 

Phoenix police identified the alleged vandal as 19-year-old Ryder Corral. In video of Corral’s arrest, he appears to be wearing a shirt similar to the one worn by the man suspected of assassinating Kirk. 

Watch:

Corral was wearing a black shirt featuring an American flag and an eagle. The shirt resembles the shirt worn by Tyler Robinson when he allegedly shot and killed Kirk while he was speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. 

Police also reported that neither Corral nor any of the witnesses who held him on the scene had sustained any injuries โ€” and that the 19-year-old would face multiple charges, including โ€œcriminal damage and disorderly conduct.โ€

Local law enforcement then escorted Corral away from the area. He is now in custody at the Maricopa County Jail on one count of criminal damage and one count of disorderly conduct, according to Phoenix Police Department Public Information Sergeant Philip Krynsky.

On Friday, law enforcement officials arrested the man accused of shooting and killing Kirk, in Utah after a frantic 33-hour manhunt. 

Kirk, a husband and father, was fatally struck by a single bullet Wednesday while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem. Kirk was rushed to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 31 years old.

President Donald Trump said the young man who shot and killed Kirk had been โ€œtotally radicalizedโ€ and made โ€œcrazyโ€ by liberal ideology, and also expressed sympathy for the suspect assassinโ€™s parents, saying they seemed like โ€œvery nice people.โ€

The presidentโ€™s comments were made while addressing a small crowd at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey on Saturday evening.

โ€œSo many things have been learned about [the shooter] so quickly,โ€ Trump. said. โ€œHeโ€™s become totally radicalized and crazy and it must have been traumatic. Because the parents are conservative people, supposed to be very nice people living in Utah.โ€

Trump continued: โ€œThe father turns in the son. Boy, thatโ€™s a tough deal.โ€

Additional information about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspected killer, has been reported over the weekend.

Fox News and other outlets on Saturday reported Robinson was living with his trans partner at the time of the slaying, and that partner is now โ€œfully cooperatingโ€ with the FBI on its investigation. The New York Times reported Robinson had scrawled the phrases โ€œhey fascist! CATCH!โ€ and โ€œBella Ciao,โ€ which it said was โ€œpopularized as an antifascist anthem,โ€ on bullet casings. And in a video clip that has went viral on X and elsewhere, a young man who said he was a former classmate of Robinsonโ€™s said he was a โ€œReddit kidโ€ who had his brain warped by the social platform.

President Trump has said that he will attend Kirkโ€™s funeral in Arizona this week, saying he has an โ€œobligationโ€ to do so.
