The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Free Beacon.
The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing.
Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.
Another account posted on August 6—more than a month before the shooting—that "september 10th will be a very interesting day." After Kirk’s assassination, the account followed up: "I plead the fifth."
The morbid quip was reposted by an account named "churbum75m (SAW TYLER JUNE 30)," who appears to follow Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok, where Twiggs’s username is "lanclotl."
Minutes after Kirk was pronounced dead, churbum75m posted on X: "WE FUCKING DID IT."
Several of the accounts under investigation appear to be associated with LGBT subcultures. One individual, "Osamu bin Tezuka," used the X handle "@fujoshincel," a reference to a genre of anime that depicts romantic relationships between men.
@fujoshincel Another user, "@NajraGalvz," who had wished death to Kirk and predicted that "something big will happen" when he set foot on campus, had identified as nonbinary on X.
@fujoshincel @NajraGalvz And in a video posted on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who appears to be transgender wrote that "charles james kirk…does not know what’s coming tomorrow."
@fujoshincel @NajraGalvz The investigation of the posts comes as the FBI is already examining whether pro-transgender groups knew about Robinson’s plan in advance. That probe, first reported by the New York Post, includes Armed Queers SLC, whose logo features high-caliber rifle bullets.
Lesley Stahl, who at 84 is older than Joe Biden, has seen a lot of horrible things over the course of her 60 Minutes career, from the Carter administration to 9/11 to the demise of her former colleague Dan Rather.
Apparently none of it can compare to the horror she experienced watching her fellow journalists lose their jobs for being obnoxious.
“Oh God, this was awful,” Stahl told Puck when asked about the half dozen producers and personalities who were fired alongside combat veteran Scott Pelley.
“This was by far the worst experience I’ve been involved in, or even witnessed.”
Really? The worst? By far? What else might Stahl have experienced that was not quite as traumatizing as corporate restructuring in a dying industry? Here are a few examples:
Maine’s embattled Democratic Senate candidate, Graham Platner, praised a “cool pic” of Nazi-aligned troops aiming a rifle during World War II, zeroing in on their “German helmets,” @LevineJonathan reports.
Platner infamously sported a chest tattoo of a distinctive SS skull and crossbones symbol—a “Totenkopf”—for nearly 20 years but claims he was unaware of its meaning.
The since-deleted Reddit post in which Platner immediately identifies “German helmets” casts doubt on that explanation.
@LevineJonathan Platner’s comment came in response to a Reddit user who shared an image of a “Swedish Volunteer Battalion in a trench during The Continuation War, 1941.”
Left-wing Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of his Maine town—one he has repeatedly said on the campaign trail he actively “serves” in—as proof of his “working class” bona fides.
“He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign—and it was largely a ‘clerical’ one, according to local records and people familiar with the position,” @peterjhasson and @alanagoodman report.
Platner’s town of Sullivan got by without a harbormaster from February 2022, when Platner’s predecessor resigned, until September 2023, when town officials tapped Platner to serve as “an interim Harbor Master until one could be hired,” records show.
Platner had volunteered for the role in case Maine law required Sullivan to have one, though the town’s Harbor Committee noted at the time that it was “not clear” he was needed because “operations in the Harbors are handled by those who use the Harbors without dispute” and because the role’s “largest challenges are clerical” and “can be handled by the Harbor Committee.”
The wife of New York Times columnist Nick Kristof—who along with Kristof worked as a Times correspondent in China and who was recently appointed vice chair of the executive committee of Harvard’s Board of Overseers—is a member of a Chinese government-linked group known for “doing Beijing’s bidding in the US,” @CAndersonMO reports.
The group, the New York-based Committee of 100, works to strengthen ties between the United States and China—or “bridge America and China,” as its website states.
Its membership roster includes Sheryl WuDunn and touts her as a “co-author with her husband, columnist Nicholas D. Kristof, of five best-selling nonfiction books.”
As U.S. policymakers highlight the American adversaries that are powering the opposition to data centers, records show that foreign billionaires and nonprofits have funneled tens of millions of dollars to the activist groups fueling data center opposition across the United States, @CAndersonMO reports.
Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has contributed nearly $14 million to four left-wing groups that signed a December 2025 letter calling for a moratorium on U.S. data centers: Indivisible Project, Americans for Financial Reform, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace USA.
Other signatories, including the environmental groups and Oil Change International, have taken millions from the U.K.-based Oak Foundation and the Danish nonprofit KR Foundation.
The British hedge fund manager and climate activist Chris Hohn funds the U.S. group Extinction Rebellion, which also signed the letter.350.org
“TrackAIPAC,” the social media account that demonizes lawmakers for supporting Israel and accuses them of acting as “foreign agents,” got its start on X as “California for Warren,” an account dedicated to promoting Elizabeth Warren’s failed presidential campaign, a Free Beacon review found.
At one point, the account described itself as part of the “Warren for President team.”
Years before the “AIPAC Tracker” began spewing bile at Israel and maligning Americans who back the Jewish state (according to TrackAIPAC, “a terrorist state, massacring innocents by the hundreds of thousands”), it was California for Warren, according to archives of the account.
Created in April 2019, it described itself as “Californians supporting Elizabeth Warren for president” and as part of “#TeamWarren.”
The account amassed thousands of followers by live-tweeting Warren’s speeches and coordinating with her campaign on volunteer efforts.
