Erika Kirk backs VP Vance's potential 2028 presidential bid

Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the organization’s new leader, endorsed a potential presidential bid by Vice President JD Vance on the opening night of the conservative youth group’s annual conference. After telling the cheering crowd that Turning Point would help keep Congress in Republican hands next year, she said, “We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.” Vance would be the 48th president if he takes office after Trump. Kirk’s statement on Thursday is the most explicit backing of Vance’s possible candidacy by a woman who has been positioned as a steward to her late husband’s legacy. Charlie Kirk had become a powerbroker and bridge builder within the conservative movement before he was assassinated in September. Vance is set to speak to Turning Point on Sunday, the conference’s last day. The convention has featured the usual spectacle and energy that have characterized the organization’s events, but the proceedings have also been marred by intense infighting among conservative commentators and estranged allies who have turned on each other in the wake of Kirk’s death.

Trump suspends green card lottery after Brown University shootings

President Donald Trump has suspended the federal green card lottery program after authorities confirmed that the suspect in the Brown University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology shootings entered the United States through the system. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that, at Trump’s direction, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is pausing the diversity visa lottery. In a post on social media, Noem described the suspect as a “heinous individual” who should never have been allowed into the country. The suspect, Claudio Neves Valente, a Portuguese national and former Brown University student, is accused of killing two Brown students, wounding nine others, and fatally shooting an MIT professor. He was later found dead in New Hampshire from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to officials. Neves Valente initially came to the U.S. on a student visa and later obtained legal permanent residency in 2017 through the diversity visa lottery program. The program, created by Congress, makes up to 50,000 green cards available each year to applicants from countries with historically low immigration rates to the United States. Trump has long criticized the lottery system, and the suspension is expected to face legal challenges since the program is established in federal law.

More Details Released In Brown University, MIT Professor Shootings

Federal authorities have confirmed that Claudio Neves Valente, the suspect in last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University, is also linked to the fatal shooting of Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro. Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, was found dead Thursday in a New Hampshire storage facility from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators believe he acted alone in both incidents. At Brown, Neves Valente allegedly killed two students and wounded nine others in a lecture hall. Two days later, Loureiro was shot and killed at his home in the Boston suburbs, nearly 50 miles from Providence, Rhode Island. Authorities traced the suspect after a tip from a person who recognized him from security footage shared online. Surveillance cameras and a rental car led investigators to the New Hampshire location where Neves Valente was found dead with a satchel and firearms. Brown University officials confirmed that the suspect was enrolled as a graduate student in physics from 2000 to 2001. Loureiro and Neves Valente had previously attended the same academic program in Portugal from 1995 to 2000. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to examine potential motives for the shootings.

Trump administration moves to limit transgender care for minors

The Trump administration is proposing new restrictions aimed at limiting access to gender-affirming care for children, marking the latest step in its broader crackdown on care for transgender Americans. The proposals, announced by the Department of Health and Human Services, would cut off federal Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to minors. Federal officials say the measures are intended to reshape how such care is delivered nationwide. The changes are not final and are not yet legally binding. They must go through a lengthy federal rulemaking process, which includes public comment, and are expected to face legal challenges. The proposals also conflict with guidance from major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association, which support access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
