Overview

  • Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced plans for a Turning Point chapter in every high school and warned districts that refuse could face accreditation consequences, a move some local officials say he lacks authority to enforce.
  • Turning Point USA detailed an 11-campus fall tour featuring Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. Mike Lee, Gov. Greg Gianforte and Ohio GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, with four new stops added.
  • TPUSA says chapter inquiries doubled to more than 120,000 since Sunday’s stadium memorial for Charlie Kirk, following the board’s appointment of Erika Kirk as CEO and chair.
  • Tyler Robinson, 22, remains charged in Kirk’s killing with prosecutors pursuing aggravated-murder counts and intent to seek the death penalty as investigations continue.
  • Campaigns in both parties are citing the killing in ads and fundraising, while Black clergy reject comparisons of Kirk to civil-rights martyrs and employers have reportedly fired workers over celebratory posts online.
