An important detail of today's shooting is that Utah is one of only two states in the country that allow campus carry. I hope that this decision is revisited.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, that is very unfortunate and I absolutely abhor political violence but until we want to actually do something about gun violence in this country I’m afraid it’s just a part of life and he’d agree.
Now let’s get back to the Epstein files and not be distracted.

Question:
WSJ called Trump Tuesday about the upcoming story on the Epstein bday book.
Maurene Comey, who was an Epstein prosecutor, was fired on Wednesday.
Does anyone think she was the one that showed the book to the WSJ?

Everyone should say it:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.

Love Harvard or hate it, this attack on it for defying the orange toddler-in-chief is pure political vengeance. It’s un-American. Once again, Massachusetts must stand up and show the mad king we do not kneel.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I know folks are disappointed about Josh Weil losing this special House election in Florida, but let the big picture give you optimism: Republicans won this seat by +33 points just five months ago. We're likely looking at a +20 point swing in support toward Democrats. This is enormous. This is GOOD.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
It was founded in 2009 by Rachel Crandall Crocker in Michigan and is now celebrated in countries around the world.
Visibility saves lives, gives voice to the voiceless, and offers joy and hope where scarce.
I thank God I’m trans. It’s a gift and a soul’s commission.
