We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Trump an β€˜Arsonist With a Hose’ The L.A.-based host said the city’s problem was the president, not the protests: β€œWe have more so-called β€˜unrest’ here when one of our teams wins a championship.”

Here’s a look at some of the highlights worth watching from late-night TV.

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach.

Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state.

Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy.

And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.

I must have missed the chapter in β€œThe Art of the Deal” when the pullback erases prior gains.

Don’t be fooled.

Yesterday’s over-reaction exuberance is giving way to (1) loss-limiting sell offs, & (2) realization that remaining #TrumpTariffs are still devastating to the economy.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

It's fascism.

Call it what it is.

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

Over the past several weeks, ProPublica has identified dozens of people who worked for DOGE.

#ICYMI: We just added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66.

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.

If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

How Trump’s Federal Funding and Hiring Freezes Are Leaving America Vulnerable to Catastrophic Wildfire Uncertainty over funding and hiring stemming from the president’s executive orders has limited wildfire training and postponed work to reduce flammable vegetation. It has also led some firefighters to leave the force, their colleagues said.

NEW: Trump and Musk’s efforts to shrink the government have left the country’s wildland firefighting force unprepared for the approaching wildfire season.

One federal employee likened the funding freeze to a β€œmassive sledgehammer” hitting the force.
