President Donald Trump announced he will travel to Arizona early Sunday for the memorial of Charlie Kirk, according to a Fox News report at 11:17 PM UTC. This comes as House Republican leaders are aiming to unveil continuing resolution text on Monday to fund the government through November 20, averting a September 30 shutdown deadline. A key holdup in finalizing the CR is the allocation of funds for lawmaker security, according to sources cited by Meredith Lee. Amidst these developments, Katie Miller stated on X that individuals from the "Tolerant Left" attempted to intimidate her family at their home, vowing that they "will not back down" and "will double down. Always, For Charlie." Miller also referred to the actions as the "rallying cry of the losers of the Left." These statements follow earlier reporting from the past 14 minutes where President Trump condemned individuals celebrating Charlie Kirk's death as "sick people" and "really deranged people." Negotiations for the continuing resolution reportedly exclude the Affordable Care Act and Russia sanctions, with Democrats indicating they would oppose it without healthcare provisions. The National Guard has reported clearing 979 bags of trash, spreading 1,045 cubic yards of mulch, and packaging 6,030 pounds of food in Washington D.C., according to Idrees Ali. Previously, President Trump indicated he would "probably have to" intervene in Ukraine peace talks due to communication difficulties between the parties. He also stated he would not impose sanctions on Russia unless NATO countries ceased their purchases of Russian goods. Regarding Venezuela, President Trump commented on the country's election as "almost corrupt as our election of 2020" and expressed disapproval of what Venezuela sends to the United States. In other news, Walmart was reported to be selling a shirt labeled "Charlie Kirk Shooter," a development described as "absolutely vile." President Trump also expressed a desire to bring foreign individuals to the United States to train American workers in manufacturing skills. Separately, Governor Jeff Flake and former Representative Gabby Giffords issued a joint statement on September 13th urging bipartisanship.
