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.
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.”
“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.
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani (D.) celebrated the Jewish holiday of Shavuot at Gracie Mansion on Monday evening with a bevy of his progressive allies, including anti-Israel Jews such as congressional hopeful Brad Lander and the transgender rabbi who once held an interfaith dialogue meeting with the president of Iran:
Word went out over the weekend in Jewish New York City circles not to attend the event. Influential Jewish groups, such as the UJA-Federation and the Jewish Community Relations Council, urged Jews to boycott it.
That didn't stop Lander, who arrived an hour late from the event's 5:30 p.m. start time and zipped into the ceremony without taking questions. He later exited the event on a Citi Bike—again dodging questions:
Transgender rabbi Abby Stein, who played a major role in rallying left-wing Jewish support for Mamdani during the Democratic primary, was also seen swanning into the event.
Rafael Shimunov, a far-left anti-Israel podcaster, was one of the first people to arrive. He appeared to be with a woman.
A stridently anti-Israel Harvard graduate student, Bilal Irfan, is listed as an author on 57 medical journal articles in the year 2025, a rate of more than one per week.
“If that sounds more prolific than humanly possible, that appears to be for a reason,” @IraStoll writes.
“The Free Beacon put the texts of those articles through five different programs designed to detect the use of artificial intelligence. Several of the papers were flagged by multiple scanning programs as having a 100 percent likelihood of being AI-generated.”
Those papers include “Will There Be A Future For Newborns In Gaza?” published in the British medical journal Lancet in November 2024.
In the paper, Irfan sounds off on the “ongoing Israeli military assault on Gaza,” stating, “The world cannot remain silent any longer. The time for action is now—to restore access to health care, to protect women and children, and to uphold the sanctity of life.”
@IraStoll Irfan’s co-author, Abdallah Abu Shammala, listed his affiliation as Gaza’s European Hospital, under which Hamas maintained terrorist tunnels and a command center where the IDF killed former Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar.
The University of California, Los Angeles was slapped with a lawsuit Tuesday for stonewalling a public records request related to “activist-in-residence” Lisa Gray-Garcia, who demanded during a mandatory lecture at UCLA’s medical school that students pray to “Mama Earth” and chant “Free, Free Palestine,” @aaronsibarium reports.
The Goldwater Institute, a conservative nonprofit, filed the request on Oct. 31, 2025, seeking Gray-Garcia’s contract with UCLA, any course syllabi she’s prepared, and emails she’s sent mentioning terms like “Israel,” “Palestine,” “genocide,” or “Zionist.”
“Nearly five months later,” Sibarium writes, “UCLA has not produced any of the records sought by the institute.”
