I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's

The whole point of political debate is resolve disputes WITHOUT violence. What happened to Charlie Kirk is simply horrific and sickening. And on a college campus, no less, a place where we should be celebrating speech, not trying to silence it. Everyone in the political arena

Let us learn from the words of Robert Kennedy who calmed a nation: "Let us replace the violence and the stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love."

Charlie Kirk lost his life today because someone thought violence was the answer to political disagreement. It's never the answer, and political violence has no place in our country. I'm praying for his wife and children.

If you're the kind of online ghoul who celebrates a man's murder, you're part of the problem.

That's my experience as well. Every one of my Democratic friends is in a state of shock and dismay. The dominant response across the political spectrum is the same. We can't let the worst voices define how we respond to this moment. They are the fringe. Treat them like it.

Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk: “You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most

This is actually a good statement from Bernie Sanders Worth the watch

Professors don't have the mind-control indoctrination superpowers some folks seem to think we do. We can't even get students to read the syllabus.

I miss moderate centrists, who don’t claim to have all the answers, who don’t ascribe to either extreme ideologies or supposedly god-given rules to try and control other people, and who try to work together to settle problems aware of their own limitations. Where have they gone?

"If we’re convinced that political violence comes from only one side of the divide, then the temptation toward punitive authoritarianism is overwhelming. “They” are evil and violent, and “they” must be crushed. If, however, we accurately understand that America has an immense

"There are conflict entrepreneurs out there who benefit from radicalizing us.” -- Utah Gov. Spencer Cox This is the most important sentence from a politician in a very long time.

No one party is immune from political violence. My family and I can attest to that. Using the rhetoric of rage and calling some of our fellow Americans “scum” — no matter how profound our differences — only creates more division and makes it harder to heal. We are at an

Unreal. There is no "hate speech" exception to the First Amendment. There is no constitutional basis for pursuing anyone for hateful words about Charlie Kirk (or anyone else). Hateful words are immoral. They are not illegal.

Someone needs to explain to Ms. Bondi that so-called "hate speech," repulsive though it may be, is protected by the First Amendment. She should know this.

WOW! This was a heated exchange between Kash Patel and Sen. Booker. Patel: It's my time not yours. You're an embarrassment to this country. You had your time. You're time is over. Booker: You don't tell me my time is over. The people of New Jersey tell me what my time is. You

Got to spend Constitution Day with some of the best around! #NCCed
