If grace is Kirk’s legacy, reflected so beautifully by his wife, then a lack of grace is the central reality of Donald Trump’s presidency. Trump himself delivered on that following Erika’s touching forgiveness with his own vow of vengeance. www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...

In dragging the word of God more fully onto the political stage than David Mastio has seen before, Trump may unleash something he is not ready for. | Opinion

Some thoughts on my @cato.org colleague Alex Nowrasteh's excellent analysis of data on political violence in US, plus related problem of politically motivated death threats (which I suspect are much more common, and have some personal experience with): reason.com/volokh/2025/...

A question for critics of kirk’s professor watch list: how is it different than the splc hate map?

May have. yeesh.

It doesn’t matter if you call it “cancel culture” or “consequence culture.” What matters is that the heavy hand of the government is being used to intimidate media corporations that are looking for regulatory favors. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/s...

I would have preferred a “we shouldn’t cross those lines” statement but this is the kind of cautious comment Jerry is gonna give you. #ksleg

FIRE’s Bob Corn-Revere for @PostOpinions: FCC Chair Brendan Carr nakedly abused government power to pressure ABC into removing Jimmy Kimmel from the air for his speech. In America, the government doesn’t get to play network executive and determine who and what you watch.

BREAKING: A federal judge just sumamrily struck Trump's complaint against the New York Times, essentially calling it, essentially, garbage. Must be rewritten within 28 days. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

Well, that and this too: While Kimmel is on suspension, ABC might look into why their star was so disconnected from 1/2 his potential audience and whether that might have something to do with dismal ratings, a problem that has plagued similar shows. www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...

The whole administration is best understood as a reality show.

Now? I suppose it's better late than never. Barnard President: Now Is the Time for Colleges to Host Difficult Speakers www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/o...

The killer seemed to have a more clear-cut motivation than we were assuming. That said, these charging documents underscore how vile it is that the White House is trying to blame the roommate, who didn't know and was obviously freaked out by it.

Hate speech investigations by DOJ? Truly there is no liberal idea too dumb or too discredited to be adopted by the Trump administration.

If they invited him on to air his views, then of course they should let him say it. And people are free to disagree and/or be mad about it.

I hope you will consider supporting my daughter Solenne's Cub Scout pack by buying some yummy popcorn or chocolate pretzels. Thanks. trails-end.com/store/scout/...

ICYMI: Charlie Kirk knew words were not violence. Only violence is violence. www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...

No. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Before he was shot and killed, Kirk was scheduled to visit the University of Missouri at the end of the month.

Whatever the merits of his other views, Kirk fought to keep both sides talking. He was right, despite a troubling trend with how strong viewpoints are seen. | Opinion

The Trump administration Department of Homeland Security has adopted the same stupid and destructive idea that killed Charlie Kirk as official policy. www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...

Charlie Kirk died fighting against the idea that words can be violence. In a Democracy they are the only thing holding us together. We have to talk or its over. www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...

The day before Charlie Kirk was killed, Yvette Walker and Toriano Porter spoke at a public event on DEI. Is conversation doomed? | Opinion

If you're a person of faith, it's a serious test of that faith to pray for someone you detest. That's a good reason to try and do it.

"This is a deadly serious business, far beyond the capabilities of former talk-show hosts or a gaggle of oddball conspiracy theorists. Russia’s dictator is courting disaster, and the safety of Europe—and the world—is at stake. When will the US and its president finally stand up to Putin?"

OREM, Utah (AP) — Authorities are still searching for suspect in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk, mayor says.

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” One of my core beliefs. One I often fail to follow. Maybe the most counter-cultural command of all. Must keep trying for it.

Kirk's spokesman confirms to @draperrobert.bsky.social that he has died of his gunshot wound.

Whether by accident or malice - and likely intentionally - the Russians are risking a wider war in Europe. The only path to reducing such a threat is for the world to force Moscow to call off its campaign of butchery in Ukraine. Unfortunately, America is AWOL: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A Costa Mesa, Calif. woman "has been charged with multiple felonies after she allegedly registered her dog to vote and cast mail-in ballots in her pet's name," according to the Orange County D.A. Audits typically find fake-person voter fraud extremely rare (most people dislike felony raps).

The ultimate roundup, presented calmly, of one month in the new regime's consolidation.

Democrats could have made us a state. They’ve had decades upon decades to act; to erode at least a bit the minority rule now destroying the country. It takes urgency, a fighting spirit, and recognizing that without structural changes, we’re doomed. And not just in DC. Who will rise to the challenge?

An Oregon state representative switched political teams today, from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. It surprised me, but then I wondered, why isn't this happening more often? That's the real surprise. cyrusjavadior.substack.com/p/had-enough...

NEW: A weird thing you may have heard about the grand juries in D.C. that keep rejecting the Trump administration's attempted prosecutions: that these are acts of "nullification." Nope—that term is inappropriate here. These grand juries are just doing their jobs. www.thebulwark.com/p/grand-juri...

This is also a story of how direct the pipeline between conservative media and the admin is. This idea came from a Daily Wire reporter last week (to Leavitt) and admin said they'd get back on it.
