The four Republicans who voted with Democrats against reprimanding Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over comments about Charlie Kirk are getting excoriated by the online right — with Rep.

The House adopted a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence in a largely bipartisan vote Friday that appeared to prove difficult for Democrats. |

|
OPINION | The assassination of Charlie Kirk forces us to confront a painful contradiction. Kirk built his career on the belief that ideas, not violence, are what shape a free society. His life's mission was to persuade, to debate, to argue in the public square. And yet, in the end, he was silenced not by a sharper argument, but by a gun. |
OPINION | On Sept. 2. President Trump, following an earlier secret directive, ordered the killing of 11 men on an alleged drug running boat in the southern Caribbean. On Monday, Trump announced that the military conducted another strike on another Venezuelan boat it said was running drugs. That attack killed three more people. |

Elon Musk has a history of making promises to rapidly deliver technological breakthroughs, only for them to end up taking longer than predicted or to fail to materialize.
Among these are his promises for fully autonomous self-driving cars or tunnels under Los Angeles to solve traffic congestion. Now some federal government officials worry that his pledges for landing astronauts on the moon will suffer similar delays. |

President Trump's speech Tuesday to the United Nations General Assembly in New York will tout his assertion of unilateral U.S. power abroad to a global body where his administration has surrendered much of its once-leading role.
The U.S. has slashed its contribution to the U.N. budget, positioned itself against decadeslong allies on the Security Council, and been without an ambassador for eight months until Friday when the Senate confirmed Mike Waltz, Trump's former national security adviser, for the job. |

It took two decades for Utah Valley University to evolve from a small community college into the state's largest school, boasting of having one of the safest campuses in the nation.
It took only seconds for that image to be shattered by the assassination of right wing activist Charlie Kirk.
The sprawling campus of nearly 50,000 students beneath the Wasatch Mountains will be forever tethered to the events of Sept. 10, when a bullet took down the founder of Turning Point USA as he spoke to a large crowd at an outdoor amphitheater in the middle of campus. |
A growing number of prominent Democrats are calling for cutting off sales of offensive weapons to Israel over its assault on Gaza — part of a notable shift on an issue that deeply divided the party during the 2024 election.
The stark departure from decades of nearly unconditional Democratic support of Israel has accelerated in recent weeks as a months-long blockade on aid has led to famine in Gaza, according to an assessment from the global authority on hunger. |
