[JD Vance @JDVance]

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

@elonmusk @elonmusk as someone whose medically fragile son is dependent on Medicaid to live, I appreciate you finding the abuse which will save the program as a whole. Without such help, Medicaid would become unsustainable. Thank you!

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

This is just ridiculous.

Elon Musk says his heart goes out to the patriots in Capital One Arena, so he pounds his chest and waves at the crowd.

CNN: Musk just gave a Nazi salute!!

These people are so thirsty for controversy and racism—that doesn’t exist—it’s astounding.

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA

The media is misleading you. Elon Musk never did a Nazi salute. Watch the full video: He simply gestured and said, “Thank you, my heart goes out to you.”

The Supreme Court upholds the TikTok Ban

Many members of Congress bought META stock as they were voting to ban TikTok, they’re getting rich while eliminating their donors competition

Congressman Michael McCaul who wrote The TikTok Ban Bill invested $1.15 Million into META after writing the bill

- On March 3rd, he authored the TikTok Ban Bill
- On March 22nd, he invested $150,000 in META
- On the 26th, he invested another $150,000
- On the 28th, he invested another $150,000

So about three weeks after writing the TikTok Ban Bill, this man invested $450,000 in TikTok's competitor.

Oh, and then what did he do once he saw his TikTok ban was gonna be included with all the Ukraine funding:

- Well, on April 1st, he invested $350,000 more in META, followed by the fifth where he invested that again.

Then about a week later, of course, he voted yes on the bill he wrote.

So within the span of 40 days, this dude wrote the TikTok ban bill, proceeded to invest $450,000 in the competitor, and then invested another $700,000, taking his total investment and META at a $1.15 million.

And then he voted yes. Now, obviously the word most people are using here is suspicious, but the word we should be using is criminal.

This man wrote the f***** bill to ban TikTok, proceeded to invest more than a million dollars in its competitor, whose stock will skyrocket if TikTok actually gets banned, and then voted on the bill to ban it.

Are you paying attention yet?” #tiktokban
It’s all about censorship.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This video got over 300,000 Likes in less than 24 hours

Again, it’s about US Congress

I think it’s fair to say the American People are wide awake to the absolute scam that Congress really is and have had enough

The TikTok ban is not about China, in fact it has nothing to do with China. #tiktokban

NEW

The Trump campaign has released an ad featuring a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor who criticizes Kamala Harris for calling Trump a fascist and quoting his former White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, who said he was quoting from conversations he had with Trump.

“I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes. For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States… she owes my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler an apology for repeating this lie.”

@GovKemp As a parent of a special needs child I can’t tell you what this would mean to us. From all the therapy and extra educational equipment to the inability to work while our more vulnerable kids need 24/7 supervision. this would really make this often forgotten population feel seen
