Overview

• TPUSA says inquiries to start chapters surpassed 120,000 after Sunday’s Arizona memorial, up from roughly 60,000 beforehand.
• Oklahoma superintendent Ryan Walters announced a partnership to establish TPUSA chapters statewide and warned districts that reject a club could face accreditation consequences.
• Some local officials pushed back, noting students can already form clubs while questioning state authority to force a political organization onto campuses; the state is also probing districts that skipped a mandated moment of silence for Kirk.
• Under newly appointed CEO Erika Kirk, TPUSA listed 11 fall campus events and named guest speakers including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. Mike Lee and Gov. Greg Gianforte.
• Prosecutors have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University and say they will seek the death penalty.
