Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has sparked controversy by posting support for Randi Weingarten’s new book Why Fascists Fear Teachers. In her message, Clinton applauded the book for raising alarms about “authoritarians” who, she says, attack public education as part of a broader threat to democracy. The post drew sharp criticism from conservatives on social media, many saying the rhetoric is inflammatory—especially given recent political violence. Some accused Clinton of using extreme labels irresponsibly, arguing that such language deepens division. Supporters, however, defended the move, saying Clinton’s intent was to call out behaviors threatening civil liberties and institutions—not individual…

Jimmy Kimmel was photographed outside a studio lot shortly after his show was pulled from ABC’s lineup, following a backlash over remarks he made about the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk.

President Donald Trump is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow him to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, following lower-court rulings that blocked his efforts. Here are the confirmed facts: The administration alleges Cook committed mortgage fraud prior to her appointment in 2022—specifically, that she misrepresented her primary residence on loan documents. Cook denies wrongdoing and claims the removal is politically driven, citing her Fed voting record and policies she supported. A federal court temporarily blocked her dismissal, ruling that the alleged conduct took place before she assumed office and does not meet the legal standard of “for cause”…
Tyler Robinson, arrested for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, is reported to have had an active online persona known as “craftin247.” Close to his arrest, digital records allegedly show that he played a game titled Furry Shades of Gay, which markets itself as a dating simulator involving queer relationships, humor, and adult-oriented content. Online activity traced to “craftin247” also includes activity on FurAffinity.net, a platform popular in the furry subculture. Among the content Robinson interacted with are works by artists who create explicit anthropomorphic character art. One such creator, RedRusker, reportedly admitted to producing drawings involving underage‐like characters. Investigators also…

ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman has issued a public apology after describing text messages from Tyler Robinson—alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk—to his partner as “very touching” during a press conference.

He admitted, however, that his wording did not clearly convey that distinction. In his apology, Gutman condemned the killing of Charlie Kirk and expressed regret for any confusion or hurt caused by his earlier comments. He emphasized his respect for Kirk’s family and underscored…
Rep. Mike Flood is preparing to submit a formal complaint to the House Ethics Committee charging Rep. Ilhan Omar with 18 separate statements and behaviors he says are deeply troubling in light of her response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The complaint, expected filing soon, alleges that Omar’s comments and public posts following the killing reflect poorly on the dignity and decorum expected of a member of Congress. It follows a related effort by GOP lawmakers to officially censure her and remove her from key committee assignments. Flood has joined three other Republicans who earlier voted to table the…
The Pentagon has strongly denied a recent NBC News report that alleged the Defense Department is planning a military recruitment campaign inspired by the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson called the story “100% wrong,” criticizing NBC for relying on unnamed sources and spreading false claims. Below are the confirmed facts: Wilson stated that no such recruitment campaign is being developed. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell also accused the media of fabricating the story, saying it misrepresented internal discussions. The NBC report claimed a new campaign would use slogans like “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors,” and…
In a large-scale maritime crackdown known as Operation Pacific Viper, U.S. Coast Guard and Navy forces have intercepted more than 75,000 pounds of cocaine in the Eastern Pacific Ocean since the operation began in early August. The seizures were made during more than 20 separate interdictions. Nearly 60 suspected drug smugglers and narco-terrorism suspects have also been apprehended during the mission, which aims to disrupt trafficking routes off the coast of South America. One significant seizure came when the Coast Guard cutter Seneca intercepted 5,500 pounds of cocaine from a low-profile vessel northeast of the Galápagos Islands. Officials said the…
President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to grant an emergency order allowing the removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The request follows a lower court ruling that blocked her firing, citing legal protections under the Federal Reserve Act. Cook was appointed by President Biden and confirmed in 2022. The Trump administration alleges she committed mortgage-fraud before her Fed service, with claims involving conflicting claims about her primary residence. A federal judge temporarily blocked Cook’s dismissal, saying alleged misconduct that predates her appointment does not qualify under the “for cause” provision required for removal. Cook has sued,…
Former President Barack Obama delivered his first major public remarks following the killing of Charlie Kirk, calling the violent act a “tragedy” and warning that the United States is now at an “inflection point.” He spoke at the Jefferson Educational Society summit in Erie, Pennsylvania, urging citizens and leaders alike to condemn political violence—no matter the ideology—and to uphold democratic norms through respect and unity. During the speech, Obama said political violence poses a threat to democracy itself. He criticized what he described as sharp rhetoric from President Donald Trump and his associates, accusing them of calling political opponents “vermin”…
Lance Twiggs, who lived with Tyler Robinson and received a confession from him after the Charlie Kirk shooting, has not been formally charged and is said to be cooperating with authorities. The message exchange included Robinson admitting to the killing, revealing where he hid the weapon, and instructing Twiggs to stay silent and delete the texts. Legal experts believe that simply knowing about a crime—even a serious one—does not automatically make someone criminally liable. To bring charges against Twiggs, prosecutors would need proof that he did more than receive the confession: hiding evidence, helping plan or cover up the shooting,…
