Senate Declares Charlie Kirk A National Day Because Why Not?
On September 18, 2025, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a 'simple resolution' (read: totally not law) to designate October 14 as National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, the conservative firebrand whose assassination sparked political chaos. Sponsored by Rep. Jimmy Patronis and Sen. Rick Scott, both Republicans from Florida, the resolution praises Kirk for championing 'individual liberty' and 'open debate'âignoring a laundry list of his racist, anti-LGBTQ, and pro-gun rants that got dozens of teachers fired nationwide. Democrats are torn: Leader Hakeem Jeffries says vote your conscience, but Rep. Jasmine Crockett warns she faces GOP 'heinous threats' daily. Meanwhile, the White House watches this circus unfold, probably scribbling notes on crisis managementâor free speech curtailing.

When the Senate turns a controversial figureâs assassination into a birthday party national holiday, you know democracy just took a weird detour down absurd lane.
Nothing screams honoring debate like a unanimous GOP vote for a resolution thatâs too simple to be law but complex enough to terrify teachers nationwide.
The best way to soothe political violence? Declare a day in the victimâs birthday and then argue about who said what awful thing about them.
