What we’re talking about Monday morning:
Trump, conservative leader praises Charlie Kirk
Tens of thousands of mourners, including President Donald Trump and members of his administration, honored the life of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Sunday’s additional service ceremony in Glendale, Arizona.
Politics has encountered faith: He remembers the 31-year-old who attended a service before dawn, listened to conservative leaders, listened to Kirk’s loved ones, and was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Supporters praised Kirk, a close ally of the Trump administration, for his religious leadership and vowed to continue his legacy.
- “The answer to hatred is not hatred”: Kirk’s widow, 36, Erika Kirk, said she forgives the man accused of killing her husband.
- The President’s remarks: Trump praised Kirk and celebrated his political achievements, shaking while taking shots with former President Joe Biden and his rivals, including “The Extreme Left.”
- Participants from White House Allies: White House Vice President Stephen Miller, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were among the prominent guests who addressed the crowd at State Farm Stadium. This is what they said.

H-1B visa workers are decorated in chaos
Panic, confusion and anger ruled as some workers on the H-1B visa abandoned their travel plans and were forced to return to the United States after President Trump levied new visa fees in line with his widespread immigration crackdown. Tech companies and banks sent emergency notes to employees, advised them to return before 12:01am on Sunday and ordered them not to leave the country. White House officials said on Saturday that the order will only apply to new applicants, not existing or visa holders seeking renewals, and address some of the confusion about who will be affected.. But Trump’s declaration already sparked an alarm bell in Silicon Valley a day before.

Are you afraid of semicolons?
It’s divisive. It cuts. It drives some people crazy. More than two-thirds of young Americans claim to know how to use it. The test proved with roughly the same numbers, but in reality they didn’t. Semicolons are wi punctuation marks. It separates items in the complex parts of a detailed list or sentence, as they are stronger, more thoughtful and less understood than humble commas. Here’s how the partition of semicolons collapses and why it is fading:
