Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.
The federal investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and left-wing groups on which President Donald Trump and his administration have pledged to crack down after the killing, three sources familiar with the probe told NBC News.
“Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” this person continued.
Since 2002, right-wing ideologies have fueled more than 70% of all extremist attacks and domestic terrorism plots in the United States, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Trump adds $100,000 fee for high-skilled foreign workers in major visa overhaul
President Trump signed two executive orders Friday aimed at raising billions of dollars through high visa fees for companies seeking to hire high-skilled foreign workers and for wealthy foreigners.
One of the orders creates a new visa category for people willing to pay $1 million to enter the U.S., or whose employers are willing to pay the U.S. $2 million to sponsor them. While signing the order in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump dubbed the new visa the “Trump Gold Card.”
“This program will raise more than $100 billion, which we’ll use for cutting taxes and paying down debt,” Trump said. “They’re going to spend a lot of money to come in.”
Lutnick on Trump's "gold card" program: "We're only gonna take extraordinary people at the very top. Instead of people trying to take the jobs from Americans, they're gonna create businesses and create jobs for Americans … this program will raise more than $100b."

I find it deeply disconcerting the way they keep “teasing” the big info they have on autism. If there was a real scientific breakthrough, they wouldn’t wait. This isn’t about science, it’s about discriminating against neurodivergent people. It’s eugenics.
