#KashPatel, #Trump #FBI director, says the suspected #CharlieKirk shooter is in custody on social media.

Utah law enforcement are currently holding a press conference, they say the suspect is still at large.

Pretty sure Patel is wrong.

Speaker #MikeJohnson paused the #House in the middle of a series of votes to call for a moment of silence and prayer for #CharlieKirk.

Several Democrats objected, pointing out that the House had not given a #SchoolShooting in #Colorado earlier in the day the same treatment.

Also #Trump ordered all American flags to be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening at 6PM in honor of Kirk, he didn’t mention the 3 students shot at Colorado #Evergreen HS.

Video posted on social media shows the moment #CharlieKirk was shot & the seconds leading to the incident. Kirk was being asked questions about #MassShootings in the #US.

“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.

Law enforcement officials are still looking for the #shooter, said a university spox, Ellen Treanor: “There is no suspect in custody; it is an active investigation.” The campus was closed, & classes have been canceled.

Treanor said that #CharlieKirk, 31, was struck about 20 mins after he began speaking on the university’s campus in Orem, #Utah. She said an attacker had fired at Kirk from the Losee Center, a building more than 100 yards away.

A federal court ruled Tues that #FederalReserve Governor #LisaCook can remain in her position while she fights Trump’s efforts to fire her.

The ruling, which will be appealed, is a blow to the #Trump admin’s efforts to assert more #control over the traditionally #independent #Fed, which sets interest rates to achieve its congressionally mandated goals of stable #prices & maximum #employment. #Congress has also sought to insulate the Fed from #politics.

Over the past quarter century, American #tech companies to a large degree designed & built #China’s #surveillance state, playing a far greater role in enabling #HumanRights abuses than previously known, an AP investigation found. They sold billions of dollars of technology to the Chinese #police, #government & surveillance companies, despite repeated warnings from the #US #Congress & in the media that such tools were being used to quash #dissent, persecute #religious sects & target #minorities.

Across #China, tens of thousands of people tagged as troublemakers…are trapped in a #digital cage, barred from leaving their province & sometimes even their homes by the world’s largest digital #surveillance apparatus. Most of this #technology came from companies in a country that has long claimed to support freedoms worldwide: the #UnitedStates.
