Overview

• Prosecutors formally charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and related counts and said they will seek the death penalty.
• Authorities cited text messages in which Robinson allegedly told a roommate he targeted Kirk because he had “enough of his hatred,” with investigators identifying the roommate as transgender.
• FBI Director Kash Patel told senators the bureau is investigating whether anyone aided Robinson, and House Oversight plans to question CEOs of Discord, Reddit, Twitch and others about online radicalization.
• The Texas Education Agency confirmed it is reviewing more than 280 complaints about educators’ social-media posts, as districts reported firings, resignations and administrative leave, and a Texas Tech student was arrested at a memorial.
• Vice President JD Vance blamed left-wing radicalization for the killing, while figures such as Karl Rove urged against politicizing the case; a public memorial is scheduled Sunday at State Farm Stadium with President Trump and Vance slated to speak.
