@bertkreischer at opening night for the @Yankees is the best decision ever made

Brody is right - career politicians haven’t moved this city forward. I’m an outsider who will work with anyone that genuinely wants to improve LA. But the current city council is entrenched in one another’s corruption and I cannot condone that. Let’s call them out!

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

It’s offensive to assume Latinos don’t want to be safe. We all live here. We all raise families here. Karen Bass wants to use ICE to distract from her failures. I want a safe, functional city with real accountability. LA deserves leadership, not excuses.

“You’ve got to be a little brainwashed to get to that point.” - ICE Shooting White House Briefing Moment

Our White House Correspondent @CaraCastronuova asked the @VP in regards to reporting on the Minnesota ICE shooting:

“I think all the journalists in this room can agree with me that we don’t want to be part of the problem. Do you have any words for us to unite Americans?”

@VP @JDVance responded:

“I appreciate that. You know, I know you don’t want to be a part of the problem. And I think that’s true of a lot of you. I’m not sure it’s true for everybody, because the reporting over this has been one of the biggest scandals I’ve ever seen in media. I’ve never seen a case so misrepresented and misreported.

When you have a guy who was defending himself and is now being treated as some sort of federal assassin by so many of the people in this room.

There’s a part of me that feels very, very sad for this woman, not just because she lost her life, but because I think she is a victim of left wing ideology.” ... "I know there’s an ICE officer right now who very much wishes he was not put in the position where he had to fire a gun to defend his own life.”

[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.

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

I prayed through the night for this God-fearing, beautiful woman & their children. As a wife and someone who is due to bring a life into this world any day now, I simply can't fathom being in her shoes.

Erika, we weep with you. We mourn with you. We pray with you. We love you.

[Elizabeth Conte @elizabethconte]

I just cannot. I have never been so heartbroken of the loss of someone I have never met. Every time I see photos from before the tragedy yesterday my heart breaks. #ripcharliekirk

[Elizabeth Conte @elizabethconte]

I am so disgusted, it has taken me 2 days to write this post bc I’m so upset. Howwwwww is it @stoolpresidente has come to my town this many times and every freaking time I miss him! Dave for the love of god next time you come to East Haven say something! I was there Saturday😩

[Elizabeth Conte @elizabethconte]

Dear @HobbyLobby please for the love of god either get more cashiers or put some self check outs in. 6 people waiting in line is outrageous!

[Elizabeth Conte @elizabethconte]

No joke I regret coming to hobby lobby every time. If you are going to have one register opened can you at least make sure the cashier knows what they are doing.

[Vice President JD Vance @VP]

It’s an incredible honor to take the oath of office as the 50th Vice President of the United States. I look forward to working alongside President Trump to serve the American people. Let's Make America Great Again!

It will give you chills

Remember when Joe Biden said he’d be toning down his hateful rhetoric?

Look what he’s paid to have outside the RNC convention.

It’s also worth noting that these trucks are idling and causing a lot of pollution.

Not very green of Joe.

Where’s @AOC?
