Overview

• Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton broadened his inquiry by issuing an expanded Civil Investigative Demand targeting extremist content, sexual exploitation of minors, extremist shootings, and the platform’s addictiveness for minors.
• Paxton said he is standing shoulder to shoulder with the Trump administration to counter left‑wing extremism as part of the enforcement push.
• The expansion builds on a prior probe under Texas’s Securing Children Online Through Parental Empowerment Act focused on children’s privacy and safety practices.
• Utah officials say Tyler Robinson, charged in Charlie Kirk’s killing, appeared to confess in a private Discord group and discussed the rifle and engraved bullet casings bearing anti‑fascist messages.
• Discord says its internal review found no evidence the platform was used to plan or promote the attack, while the FBI is investigating the private chat, which Director Kash Patel said involved “a lot more than” 20 people.
