Overview

• Event organizers set a Washington prayer vigil for Sunday evening with pre‑registration required and a roster that includes House Speaker Mike Johnson, RFK Jr., Kari Lake and several members of Congress.
• Turning Point USA announced a Sept. 21 celebration of life at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, inviting registrations for a service planned in the NFL venue.
• Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson after the campus shooting in Utah; investigators say casings recovered with the rifle were engraved with anti‑fascist phrases, though motive remains under review.
• Federal actions included Trump ordering flags to half‑staff and Vice President J.D. Vance accompanying Kirk’s remains on Air Force Two, as agencies moved to review workers’ posts and a FEMA employee was placed on leave.
• Supporters mounted online efforts to identify people who praised the killing, which contributed to firings and investigations highlighted by cases at a Tennessee university and in Oklahoma, while Turning Point USA launched a fundraising drive to carry on Kirk’s work.
