Overview

  • Oklahoma superintendent Ryan Walters announced a partnership to create Turning Point USA chapters in every state high school and warned that districts refusing could face accreditation consequences.
  • TPUSA says chapter inquiries doubled from about 60,000 before Sunday’s memorial to more than 120,000 afterward, according to spokesman Andrew Kolvet.
  • Erika Kirk was unanimously appointed CEO and chair by the TPUSA board as the organization continues its fall campus tour in her late husband’s honor.
  • Tyler Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder in the Utah shooting of Charlie Kirk, and prosecutors indicate they will seek the death penalty.
  • Black clergy publicly rejected characterizations of Kirk as a Christian martyr, underscoring deep disagreement over his rhetoric as tens of thousands attended the Arizona memorial featuring President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
