It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.
Fox Host Jesse Watters: They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?
A spokesperson for Charlie Kirk confirms to the NYT that he has died
Trump writes that Charlie Kirk has died

It’s not actually about the right to opt out, but making it harder for the rest of us to get vaccinated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Regardless of shooter ideology (though shooters often share a stated ideology that gets overlooked by initial reporting), mass shootings have an ideological form, which is that agency belongs to those willing to do violence, that the dead deserve their fates, that this is the point of gun power.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I have heard about a whole lot of hate being directed to our trans community. Anyone using this to villainize our trans community has lost their sense of humanity."
Police confirm the identity of the Annunciation Catholic School shooter as Robin Westman.
You can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but you can't get a grand jury to indict for throwing one: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
We've reached the "was the shooter playing video games" portion of Fox News coverage.
Fox Host Rachel Campos-Duffy uses mass shooting coverage to claim that "Christians are the most persecuted religion in the universe right now," and to ask RFK Jr. to restrict the use of SSRIs.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says at this point police believe that most of the shooting took place outside of the church, and that shots were fired through the church window.
Shooter had a "rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol," police believe he fired all three
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says 2 children were killed, and 17 people -- including 14 children -- were injured. Two other children are in critical condition. Shooter took their own life in the church.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: Don't just say this is about "thoughts and prayers," right now. These kids were literally praying.

Hero jury saves hoagie hurler from legal grinder www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Fox News grouping mass shootings by events that are serious and events that "we can just move on past" is such a marker of how much of a failed state we are.
DC grand jurys are not fucking with this administration and it rocks

Trump: "We are going to end mail-in voting [...] It's time that the Republicans get tough and stop it, because the Democrats won it. It's the only way they can get elected."
Trump: "You can never have a real Democracy with mail-in ballots" That's is pretty much, almost word for word, what Trump claims Putin told him during their meeting Friday.
Zelenskyy to Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend: And you're still in the same suit. You see I changed, and you have not.
"Republic of the Condo -- Congo"
Mike Lindell this morning: ““It’s a great day for America, isn’t it? I’ve been talking this for four-and-a half years, 12 hours a day, so this is a big deal. I’ve been talking about melting down the voting machines and turning them into prison bars — it’s been the total focus of my life…
I joined @jaredlholt.bsky.social and @michaelehayden.bsky.social to talk about a question that has followed me since 2018. Did the alt-right win and upend right-wing politics? I think the answer is: "Yes, but..." (With apologies to Depeche Mode.) www.patreon.com/posts/030-di...

Trump says he's going to award himself Kennedy Center Honors because he "always wanted" them
Well the thing is they are not going to do that because they do not care about the well being of this city but rather yearn to use it as a punching back while encouraging the aesthetics of militarizing liberal/Black urban enclaves and any analysis of this project should start there. Hope this helps.
NEW: L.A. and D.C. are only the beginning, as Trump's team has been drawing up plans to unleash federal forces in other Democratic strongholds. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
