Hillsdale College will honor Charlie Kirk with an honorary degree. A scholarship fund is opened for his children to attend any school. His memorial service opens with Pastor Rob McCoy; bagpipes play Amazing Grace, then Chris Tomlin leads worship.

Authorities say the gun used to kill Kirk is a decades-old Mauser Model 98 .30-06, likely untraceable under pre-1968 laws. The rifle belonged to the suspect’s grandfather; DNA on the weapon matches Tyler Robinson.

In politics, Tominey pressed Mel Stride on Reform UK's “none of the above” label; they lack a plan and rely on populism ahead of the next election. Polls put Reform at 34%. Reform won Cardiff’s Trowbridge ward with 39.6% (1,142 votes).

France weighs a wealth tax; Zucman proposes 2% on fortunes, about €20B from ~1,800 households. Arnault calls Zucman a 'far-left activist' and says the plan would hurt the economy; left parties push it. Some observers call the idea 'progressive' and others call it 'far right'.
