Good morning. This is Hanna Lee. 

U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies have floated plans to shut down left-wing organizations they say encourage political violence, in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk. Some worry that means legitimate, non-violent political opposition will also be muzzled. We'll get into that below.

Trump vows to dismantle 'radical left' groups in wake of Charlie Kirk killing

What's happening: The Trump administration has warned of a crackdown on left-wing groups on a near-daily basis since the shooting of Charlie Kirk. On Monday, Vice-President JD Vance hosted a podcast tribute to Kirk and specifically called out two organizations, Open Society Foundations and Ford Foundation, accusing them of "setting fire to the house built by the American family over 250 years."

What's next: The administration has already begun reviewing the tax-exempt status of left-leaning non-profits, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. Meanwhile, the most tangible warnings have come from Stephen Miller, the White House's deputy chief of staff and one of Trump's key advisers. He's said the administration will use "every resource we have" across departments and agencies to destroy networks that he says are breaking the law.

Prosecutors to seek death penalty in Charlie Kirk murder case

(Jeffrey Phelps/The Associated Press)

Tyler Robinson, 22, was charged Tuesday with aggravated murder in the killing of Charlie Kirk. If he's convicted, he could face the death penalty, prosecutors confirmed. 

What's happening: Prosecutors outlined evidence including a text confession to his roommate, with whom he had a romantic relationship. Documents say Robinson discarded the rifle and clothing after the shooting and asked the roommate to conceal the evidence. Asked why he did it, Robinson texted his roommate: "I had enough of [Kirk's] hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out."

What's next: Authorities say Robinson hasn't been co-operating, but that his friends and family have been talking. FBI Director Kash Patel said agents are looking at anyone involved in a gaming chat on Discord with Robinson, which Patel said involved "a lot more" than 20 people. Robinson's roommate and partner is transgender, authorities have said, leading to speculation around the suspect's motive. However, no motive has yet been confirmed.
