'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

4:30 p.m. on a Friday, and there are *5* emergency applications from the Trump administration pending at #SCOTUS:

1) Slaughter (FTC removal);
2) Global Health Council (pocket rescissions);
3) Cook (Fed Board removal for "cause");
4) Orr (gender identity on passports); and
5) Noem (Venezuela TPS).

🚨 Just hours after 3 armed Russian Mig-31s flew the entire length of Estonian airspace in 12 minutes with no response from NATO, two more Russian jets performed a low pass over Polish Baltic drilling platform, violating the Polish safety zone.

We’re back to “If you stop calling Nazis Nazis, they’ll stop being Nazis.”

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

The guy who nearly got people killed spreading Pizzagate. Who called for an end to American democracy *last year*. Who told his followers to “take the path of the hunter … we are going to make them the prey."

We’re watching this country collectively descend into madness.

In other news, Lisa Murkowski could have voted to release the Epstein Files, bringing the vote to 50-50 and forcing JD Vance to cast a tie-breaking vote.

Instead, she caved to Trump and the GOP leadership.

Again.

"Young ordered the restoration of $783 million in federal funding for fiscal year 2025 — a portion of which, totaling millions, was allocated to Harvard — before the Supreme Court stayed the order nearly two months later. (The total multi-year funding pool affected by Young’s ruling included $3.8 billion in grants, many of which were partially paid out before the freeze. According to a Crimson analysis of court filings, Harvard was awarded more than 140 grants within that pool, with a combined multi-year value exceeding $60 million.) Harvard expected the grants listed in Young’s ruling to flow back to researchers, according to a person familiar with the matter, even though the White House had imposed a block on all Harvard grants as part of its initial funding cut in April. But the funds never arrived, and Harvard wrote in an August press release from the School of Public Health that the NIH was continuing to “block disbursement of any funds to Harvard University.” According to one person, Harvard has been unable to access any funds from the NIH since April because of the restrictions imposed by DOGE through its oversight of the NIH’s payment system, including in the two-month period in which Young’s ruling mandated that grant awards listed in the ruling be resumed."

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The only way to listen to Trump's incoherent babbling and lies.

TAPPER: Is President Trump planning to go to war in Chicago?

HOMAN: It's being taken out of context

(Trump's post literally said "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR")

Look, my form isn’t better. But then again I’m not an alcoholic douche insisting I’m an alpha male who also happens to be in charge of the most powerful military in the planet.

The tennis establishment has instructed broadcasters not to highlight any negative reactions to Trump’s planned appearance at the U.S. Open men’s final on Sunday.
Crushing dissent requires a lot of collaborators.

"It’s this arrangement that Trump covets. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to rule for decades with no worry he could ever be defeated again like he was in 2020? Why can’t he dictate how elections are run to ensure landslide after landslide like Putin has managed?"

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
