Overview

• State Farm Stadium in Glendale will open doors at 8 a.m. local time for an 11 a.m. program, with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Erika Kirk among scheduled speakers before tens of thousands of attendees.
• The Department of Homeland Security assigned a SEAR Level 1 rating, with local agencies deploying bomb squads and tactical units as major TV networks and streaming platforms plan live coverage.
• Erika Kirk has been elected CEO of Turning Point USA and will address mourners, while Trump says he will posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
• Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder and other counts as prosecutors move to seek the death penalty; he surrendered after his mother identified him from a released image, is held without bail and made a first court appearance by video without entering a plea.
• Cultural fallout continues as employers discipline workers for celebratory posts, ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s show over remarks, and Paramount keeps a recent South Park parody available on demand after pulling it from linear reruns.
