Overview

• Vice President J.D. Vance hosted a White House–recorded tribute episode of the Charlie Kirk Show in which he and aide Stephen Miller pledged to use federal resources to dismantle alleged left-wing networks.
• Vance singled out the Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation over a critical Nation article, accusations both philanthropies rejected as misleading or false.
• Tyler Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder and is being held in the Utah County Jail under observation, and investigators say he has not cooperated.
• FBI Director Kash Patel said a family tip helped identify the suspect and that DNA on a towel and a screwdriver recovered near the rooftop firing position matched Robinson.
• The case has intensified national polarization, with online campaigns leading to firings and visa warnings for foreigners who justify the killing, while civil-liberties critics warn of government overreach.
