Jim Carrey waded into the debate over an encounter between students from Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School and Native American elder Nathan Phillips in Washington, D.C., unveiling an artwork addressing the contentious encounter via his Twitter account on Tuesday. In Carrey’s depiction of the moment, Phillips stood face-to-face with a number of students, most of them wearing red caps and one of them wearing an apparent smirk on his face. One key difference between video of the encounter that circulated over the weekend and Carrey’s rendition of the situation: Rather than the hats reading “Make America Great Again,” one cap appeared to alter the Trump slogan, at least partially, to “Hate Again.” “Baby snakes,” Carrey wrote of the image.

Many viewers believed the teens were attempting to taunt the elder, Nathan Phillips. On Sunday, additional video showed that Phillips had walked up to the teenagers. He said he was trying to defuse a confrontation between them and another group. One of the teens, Nick Sandmann, issued a statement saying he had not sought the confrontation and bore no ill will to Phillips. Naturally, the conversation regarding the moment carried over into the comments section of Carrey’s post.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and minority leader Chuck Schumer have agreed to a deal that could end the partial government shutdown, which entered its 32nd day Tuesday. Under the deal, the Senate will vote Thursday on two bills intended to end the shutdown. One bill includes President Trump’s request for $5.7 billion to construct a wall at the southern border, and one would fund the government entities affected by the shutdown through February 8, kicking the fight down the road until then.

Police arrested a Colorado man over the weekend who allegedly threatened to kill "as many girls as I see" in a mass shooting.
