Actress Jamie Lee Curtis wept over the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk despite her disagreeing with him “on almost every point” she ever heard him say.
The Halloween actress broke into tears when discussing the topic during an appearance on Marc Maron’s podcast released on Monday after being pre-recorded last Friday.
“I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected with his faith,” she said.
Beni Harmony was the Lifestyle Anchor/Reporter for WICS ABC20 in Springfield, Illinois. However, according to Harmony's X and Facebook page, she was suspended for a Friday, on-air tribute to assassinated TPUSA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk.
Instead of accepting the suspension, Harmony chose to resign. From the tribute, Harmony appeared to have a personal connection to Kirk and said that Kirk was "the first person who made me believe in myself."

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Monday, Sept. 15, 2025, denied the Trump administration’s emergency bid to pause a lower-court order that kept Federal Reserve Governor Lisa D. Cook in office.
In a brief order with separate statements, Judges Garcia and Childs denied the stay, and Judge Katsas dissented, leaving intact the district court’s injunction while the appeal proceeds. You can read the court’s order and both statements in the official filing from the D.C. Circuit here.
The three-judge panel's decision is rooted in the phrasing of the statute at play. Section 10 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 242)
Lance Twiggs has become one of the most talked-about names in Utah after being revealed as a key figure in the investigation into the killing of Charlie Kirk. Within days of the tragic shooting at Utah Valley University, investigators confirmed that Twiggs played an important role by cooperating with authorities and handing over crucial digital evidence. His involvement has shifted public focus from the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, to the people in Robinson’s inner circle and how they may have contributed to the unfolding of events.
The FBI has reportedly widened its investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to include radical leftist groups in Utah to determine whether they helped the suspect or had foreknowledge of his plan.
Several transgender social media accounts made self-incriminating comments before and after suspect Tyler Robinson murdered Kirk at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10. The ammunition inside the rifle used to shoot Kirk was engraved with cryptic messages of transgender and antifascist ideology.
Robinson was arrested on Friday in connection with the murder after his father persuaded him to turn himself in. The 22-year-old is reportedly not cooperating with investigators.
The FBI’s no. 2 man said Monday that he suspects Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer Tyler Robinson could have been “aided and abetted’’ by an “extended network’’ — alluding to “multiple warning signs” he gave leading up to the assassination.
As The Post reported Sunday, law enforcement was already probing whether pro-trans online groups, sexualized animal-obsessed “furries” and others connected with Robinson had advance knowledge of his alleged murderous plans. The groups include communities on the online gaming platform Steam,
President Trump’s nominee to join the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, Stephen Miran, was confirmed by the full Senate on Monday — while an appeals court denied the commander in chief’s effort to remove embattled central banker Lisa Cook ahead of a key meeting on interest rates.
The Senate voted 48-47 to confirm Miran’s nomination — with Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) joining all Democrats in voting against Trump’s pick for the central bank. The president tapped Miran, head of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), to replace Adriana Kugler, a Biden appointee who abruptly stepped down last month.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) filed a resolution Monday to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and strip the “Squad” lawmaker of all her committee assignments over “vile comments mocking the assassination” of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“Ilhan Omar has shown us exactly who she is: someone who defends political violence and refuses to condemn the loss of innocent lives when it doesn’t suit her agenda, even the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk,” Mace said in a statement.
“If you mock a political assassination and celebrate murder, you don’t get to keep your committee seat, you get consequences,” the congresswoman added.

Growing Dangerously Comfortable With Political Violence replies
While the vast majority of Americans continue to reject political violence without quantification, a staggeringly large percentage of those identifying as liberals feel it can be justified and even celebrated.
A new poll conducted in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk shows the American left is growing dangerously comfortable with the idea of political violence as a tool to achieve its goals.
While left-leaning media demand the right tone down their rhetoric, a survey conducted by YouGov shows it's the resistance party that needs to engage in some serious introspection.
It's nice that there are things in life you can always count on. The sun always comes up in the east, for every drop of rain that falls, a spot always gets wet, and every time Senator Elizabeth "Spreading Bull" Warren (D-MA) gets a dumb idea, she always tries to make it a dumb law.
There's a lot wrong with all of that; for one thing, the U.S. labor market is a lot healthier than it was only a few months ago, when "Autopen Joe" Biden was still converting oxygen into carbon dioxide in the White House.But the big thing is that Senator Warren's idea, as is usually the case,
Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025. In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands...no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else.
Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure you that nobody who was there believes it. It was far larger, at least one million, but probably nearer three. And it did not appear out of nowhere.
Utah isn’t exactly the place most people picture when they think of trans chaos and furry extremism. It’s one of the reddest, most religious states in the country, a place where family, faith, and tradition are supposed to be the backbone of everyday life. But beneath that squeaky-clean surface, something very disturbing has been festering… and the house of cards came crashing down after the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk.

A report from the Washington Post indicates alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson used the Discord platform Thursday to tell his friends, “It was me.”
According to the Post, Robinson messaged his friends “about two hours before officials said [he] was taken into custody.”
The message said: “Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this.”
A member of the group of individuals who allegedly received the message from Robinson took a screen shot of it and shared it with the Washington Post.
Liberal host Bill Maher mourned the killing of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, contrasting conservatives who embrace dialogue with far-left activists who, he argued, seek to silence it. "Look, I might drink a little more than usual today," Maher told guest Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. "Because I don’t know when this is airing, but this is a s--- day. A guy who sat there – Charlie Kirk – got shot today, and I can't stop thinking about it."
Kirk’s assassination during a campus event stunned the nation and reignited a national conversation about the value of political dialogue – even across deeply divided ideological lines.
A House Republican is demanding that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., be stripped of her committee assignments, accusing her of making disparaging comments toward Charlie Kirk after his assassination last week. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is introducing a resolution on Monday to remove Omar from her two current committees: the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
She is the top Democrat on the latter panel's Subcommittee on Workforce Protections.
It's part of the continued fallout from Kirk's killing in Utah during a college speaking event.
The U.S. State Department has revoked visas for foreign nationals who celebrated the assassination of beloved conservative icon Charlie Kirk. Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau made the announcements on X that hateful people who abused their privilege to come here would be sent home. “In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Landau wrote on X Thursday. “I have (snip) directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention.”
Doubtlessly, a new age has just begun.
Most of Gen Z was nothing more than a twinkle in their parents’ eyes when 9/11 occurred. They never lived in a version of America without the Transportation Security Administration or looming terrorist threats. They were born into the aftermath, a world filled with warnings. Don’t play outside unsupervised, don’t take candy from strangers, don’t sit on a bus with your headphones on. Zoomers are well accustomed to a world where safety is the primary concern because threats are always dangling nearby. They were raised in the era of “cancel culture” and closed dialogue.
President Trump announced on Truth Social on Monday afternoon that the United States military has blown up a second drug cartel boat out of Venezuela. The action led to the deaths of three narcoterrorists while no U.S. servicemembers were harmed during the operation.
Trump also issued a warning to others attempting to transport drugs to the United States. Here are his full remarks: The Department of War also announced the operation and posted what appears to be a video of the strike: This is the second such strike in less than two weeks. As I reported earlier this month,
It's going to be a while before the full impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination is known. I will venture one prediction, and that is that the impact won't favor the left. But for now, memorial services and eulogies for Charlie are still ongoing, and it's amazing how the attendees have behaved. No looting, no arson, no riots. It's almost as if people on the right are better-behaved than people on the left. Speaking of peaceful events: Speaking at the Kennedy Center, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. related a conversation he had with Charlie, and that conversation is worth noting.
In a bombshell revelation, it is being reported that the FBI is investigating at least seven different online accounts for expressing direct foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The conservative activist was shot in the neck by a far-left ideologue with ties to the transgender movement on Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah. Before this latest news broke, it was largely assumed, at least by the mainstream press, that the shooter acted alone. That is now an assumption very much in doubt.
All last year, we were treated to a steady stream of stories about the “huge” and “baffling” gap between the public’s negative views about the economy and its “actual performance.”
Our favorite “economist” Paul Krugman was apoplectic. “Why are so many Americans still telling pollsters that the economy is in bad shape” when “it’s hard to overstate just how good recent economic numbers have been.”
Last week, the government issued two reports that explain why. And the reason is simple. The experts were wrong. The public was right.
On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after a string of glaring mistakes in its jobs report, announced the mother of all screw-ups.
FBI deputy director Dan Bongino told Fox News on Monday that “there appear to have been multiple warning signs” that pointed to the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination prior to the shooting.
Speaking to Bill Hemmer, Bongino said, “There appear to have been multiple warning signs. There were people in [the suspect’s] network — friends and family — who had stated that he had become more political…I believe some of his co-workers stated that he had kind of detached himself when the topic of politics came up and walked away from them.”
He added that it seems “ideology had infected him and had taken over.”
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino appears on Fox News shortly after Director Kash Patel to outline his perspectives on the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Deputy Bongino also wants viewers to know the investigation has been emotionally challenging for him due to his friendship with Charlie Kirk. Thankfully, Bongino notes he expects to be okay as the investigation continues. WATCH: Video_
President Donald Trump announced a military strike on a second Venezuelan drug boat Monday morning and reported a number of terrorists were targeted in the attack. "This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.," Trump posted on Truth Social.

Generally speaking, when people jump to the conclusion that there was a conspiracy to commit some heinous act, it is a mistake to jump down that rabbit hole without first seeing a lot of evidence that it hides something dangerous. So when people started whispering about a conspiracy to kill Kirk, I thought that it was likely just paranoid musings that led in that direction. After all, lone crazy people do things often enough.
But in this case it is beginning to look like this was a Trantifa conspiracy, and the FBI is seriously investigating links between trans activists who explicitly said online things that
ST. GEORGE, Utah - The trans roommate of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin "hates conservatives and Christians," one of his relatives told Fox News Digital in an interview.
The 22-year-old, who has not been charged and whose name has not yet been released by authorities, was in a romantic relationship with suspect Tyler Robinson, also 22, according to the relative. She said he is in the process of transitioning from male to female.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital her relative began to act differently when he turned 18 and said that he developed a hatred of Christians and conservatives.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate ...
WASHINGTON—Thousands of people came together to remember Charlie Kirk and offer tearful tributes at the John F. Kennedy Center on Sunday.
“I’m a better person for knowing him, and we’re a better country because of him,” Malia Shirley, a longtime friend of Kirk and Turning Points USA official, said during opening remarks.
Approximately 85 members of Congress were in attendance, along with enough members of the public that some were left without seats.The packed auditorium thundered with applause after the Pledge of Allegiance was read, and the group sang “Amazing Grace” in unison to open the prayer vigil.
Dignitaries and members of President Donald Trump’s administration shared remarks and offered prayers for
It’s funny that they all suddenly care about censorship, free speech, and cancel culture, isn’t it? And the chilling effects that had on open expression? Have they looked at Hollywood lately? Ever hear of a culture of silence and a climate of fear that has all but gutted a once-thriving industry? Do they remember why Elon Musk had to buy Twitter?
How many people did we watch unpersoned, disappeared, and banished from utopia? How many lives have been ruined just for daring to speak the truth about the differences between biological men and women? Remember All Lives Matter? Remember Blue Lives Matter?

The Washington Post has fired now-former global opinions editor Karen Attiah after she appeared to celebrate the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. That comes amid a range of firings across multiple sectors of people who apparently have no self-control whatsoever, nor the common decency to practice it.
Kirk was murdered by a far-left radical who had a "trans-furry" boyfriend while holding an open debate on a Utah college campus. The shooter, Tyler Robinson, fled after firing the fatal shot before his father and a youth pastor detained and turned him in a day later.
For her part, Attiah reacted
When most people think of mayoral campaign promises, they picture fixing potholes, improving schools, or reducing crime. But Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist nominee for New York City mayor, is vowing to have the NYPD arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he dare show his face in the Big Apple.
This isn't your typical political grandstanding. Mamdani wants to honor an International Criminal Court arrest warrant targeting Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza, stemming from the ongoing war that erupted after Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. The socialist firebrand claims that Netanyahu is committing genocide

Law enforcement has turned up striking new evidence in their investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including a confirmed DNA match linking the alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, to the crime scene, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Monday.
Robinson’s DNA was present on a screwdriver found on a rooftop at the Utah Valley University campus as well as on a towel that was wrapped around the rifle that investigators found in the woods near the assassination site, Patel said during an interview on Fox & Friends.

Earlier this month a British academic named Michael Rainsborough wrote an insightful essay on the United Kingdom’s descent towards civil war. Once the head of the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, Rainsborough was dismissed from his post for committing a series of “thought crimes.” His final offense came in the form of a co-authored essay entitled, “The British Road to Dirty War,” in which he and former colleague David Betz diagramed “the hollowing out of British democratic institutions” and the dangerous rule of a permanent governing class filled with authoritarian elites.
Now working in Australia, Rainsborough returns to the subject with additional wisdom

Ben Shapiro and Bill Maher sparred over morality and the Bible on "Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime" Friday, and the conservative Orthodox Jewish commentator received an unexpected reaction from the liberal comedian’s Los Angeles audience.

Charlie Kirk shaped modern conservatism and reached youth in ways no one else could, Victor Davis Hanson said.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Tragically, Charlie Kirk, a friend of all of ours, was shot and killed in Utah. This is one of the great losses to the American political and media scene, not just conservatism. I don't think that he will be replaced, because I can't think of a figure left or right under the age of 35 who combined such talent.
A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked a lower court order mandating taxpayer funding for abortion giant Planned Parenthood. A three-judge panel for U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, all appointed by former President Joe Biden (D), ultimately allowed a congressionally approved measure stripping Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars through Medicaid to go forward as litigation continues. The order stays two July preliminary injunctions issued by Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, which blocked the defunding measure from going into effect.
The Trump administration is deploying cutting-edge artificial intelligence to conduct an unprecedented review of more than 55 million visa holders in what could become the largest immigration dragnet in U.S. history. But in practical terms, the unprecedented vetting process will likely target a far smaller pool than the number being floated publicly. It's a sort of psychological warfare designed to trigger mass self-deportations, a former State Department employee tells. "They don't need to scrub 55 million. They just need to say they are casting the net as extensively as possible, to encourage those who know they are ineligible, probably overstaying their visas, to self-deport before they are caught"

In the aftermath of Turning Point USA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday by a young man who appears to have wildly leftist tendencies, authorities want to know if he was a lone wolf or whether his twisted internet “friends” had advance knowledge.[snip] The clues are there on the vast interwebs, and investigators are digging down to find out who knew what, and when:
This past week brought us a lot of troubling news. Not just the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, but the disturbing reaction to it by some on the left, cheering his death. How could anyone be so evil? However, some liberals did get how troubling this kind of thought pattern is. Bill Maher, for example, condemned that kind of thinking, specifically calling out the demonizing rhetoric on the left of calling President Donald Trump "Hitler," and saying that can make it easier to justify things like assassination.
We're still figuring out all the implications of Charlie Kirk's assassination. One of the key people who will be left to pick up the pieces - aside from Mrs. Kirk, who has the toughest row to hoe of all - is Charlie's friend and partner, Jack Posobiec.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was sentenced on Thursday to 27 years and three months in prison, hours after being convicted by what can only be called a kangaroo court of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election. This was the second phase of a no-holds-barred attack on the mildly conservative Bolsonaro that began shortly after he took office in 2019.[snip] You'd think that would horrify most Americans, but then you wouldn't be an academic at a top-tier school or a Democrat senator.
The far-left New Republic, in the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declared that Democrats’ responses condemning the killing were “too tasteful for the moment,” warned that “empathy helps prop up Republicans and Trumpists as legitimate and normal political actors,” and urged Democrats to adopt a “callous, perhaps, but short of cruel” tone — even suggesting they say, “I’m sorry his family is suffering. I wish his message would die with him.”
