Some of this bashing is never enough for you, you see. It doesn't matter how critical journalists are about Israel, it will never be enough for you. Because you want the rightyou want the right to suggest that Charlie Kirk was the subject of a hit job by Israel. You want the world to think that. That's why you said what you said.

Look, obviously, I didn't know Charlie Kirk. I was generally aware of some of his ideas. I think those ideas were wrong; but that doesn't negate the fact that what happened was a tragedy and that I mourn for him and his family. He's a young man with two small children and a wife who and a huge number of friends and supporters who cared about him and so we have to extend grace to people during their period of mourning and shock.

In the days since Charlie Kirk's shooting, a level of performative concern about limiting speech critical of the slain conservative has spread far and wide. It's led to normally critical liberal pundits, like Ezra Klein, celebrating Kirk's life and work, while others have been fired for merely bringing attention to things Kirk has said via direct quote. This hypervigilant policing of speech critical of Kirk reveals hypocrisy on all sides.

Politicizing the murder of Charlie King to go after free speech is not a legacy, I believe, Charlie King would have wanted, Nadler told FBI Director Kash Patel. His comment came a moment after he asked Patel if he was aware the Trump administration was using Kirk's death as an excuse to crackdown on liberty and freedom of speech. Patel said he could only speak for the FBI and was not aware of such efforts.

The last message he had texted me was the day before he passed away, Noem answered. And it said, 'We have to hold these mayors and local officials accountable for what they're doing.' I was traveling and in meetings in a different time zone and I didn't see it and missed it. I will always feel bad that I didn't respond because I would have said, 'Absolutely, I'm on it,' which I am, but I think he knew that, said Noem.

MIT police are investigating numerous instances of hateful speech and images around campus, President Sally Kornbluth said in a letter to the MIT community Friday. Kornbluth said the incidents - two hand-drawn swastikas, a sign wishing violence on a conservative non-profit, and cases of graffiti and an email list of "messages celebrating violence" - do not seem to be connected.

House Republicans are proposing increasing security funding by $30 million in the wake of growing concerns about political violence in the country. The funding is included in a stopgap bill to fund the government that Republican leaders hope to approve this week ahead of a Sept. 29 deadline. It is unclear if the legislation has enough votes to pass. House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., briefed House Republicans about existing safety resources for members during a closed-door weekly conference meeting Tuesday morning.

The charge means Robinson could face the death penalty if convicted of killing Mr Kirk last week. Announcing the charges, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said: "The murder of Charlie Kirk is an American tragedy." Mr Kirk was shot on September 10 as he spoke with students at a university in Utah and died soon after. Prosecutors allege Robinson shot Mr Kirk in the neck with a bolt-action rifle from the roof of a nearby campus building.

Kash Patel's awful month is about to get worse. The embattled FBI director, whose sophomoric handling of the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination has been widely criticized, has the unfortunate luck of facing a prescheduled pair of Congressional hearings this week, one week after a whole lot of people were calling for him to be fired. The first one is happening right now before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we're doing it live. Below are the latest developments.

During the emotional segment, which aired Thursday at the beginning of the network's Marketplace show, Harmony called Kirk her first boss and mentor, recounting how he encouraged young staff to speak with passion, with conviction, stand up for your friends, stand up for your beliefs, and speak loudly, even if your voice shakes. Fighting tears, she ended: Thank you, CK, you changed my life.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is widening the political divide in America-and some people who have made critical remarks about the conservative icon are finding their personal information being posted online, opening them up to harassment and threats. One site, called " Expose Charlie's Murderers," has been taken offline after posting the names of 41 people that it claimed were "supporting political violence online." The site reportedly said it was working on a backlog of over 20,000 submissions before it was taken down.

Charlie Kirk, a right-wing influencer known for his gun rights advocacy and anti-LGBTQ+ views, was killed at Utah Valley University, in Orem, on Wednesday (10 September) while holding one of his 'Prove Me Wrong' debating events. He was discussing the conservative conspiracy theory about trans shooters when a single shot hit him in the neck. He died later in hospital.
