Prosecutors want Tyler Robinson tried in early 2028, while his lawyers are aiming for late 2029
A Utah judge is expected to rule Monday on when Tyler Robinson will face trial for the killing of Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors want the trial in 2028, but the defense is aiming for late 2029. “Justice delayed this long stops being justice for the Kirk family,” the family’s attorney told the court.
Why It Matters to You: Charlie Kirk’s family and supporters have waited more than a year for answers. Monday’s ruling decides how much longer they will have to wait. READ MORE
2: Rubio Defends Trump’s Iran War as “Not Necessarily Popular, but Necessary” After Midterm Losses
The secretary of state says Trump confronted a “very real threat” as Vance blames the war for the GOP’s defeat
Marco Rubio is standing by President Trump’s war with Iran, even as it is blamed for the GOP’s midterm losses. The war was “not necessarily popular, but necessary,” Rubio said. Talks with Iran have made little progress.

3: Trump Says He’ll Make “A Few” Cabinet Changes After Midterm Losses: “I Don’t Wanna Mention Who”
Asked if he expects to fire anyone, the president told 60 Minutes, “I do”
President Trump says more shake-ups are coming after the midterms. “I love my Cabinet. I think they’re good. But I’ll … be doing maybe a few changes. I don’t wanna mention who,” he told 60 Minutes. Trump still says he has confidence in Pete Hegseth.
Why It Matters to You: Any replacement nominee will need Senate approval, and Democrats take control in January. The next few weeks could decide who runs the government for the rest of Trump’s term. READ MORE
4: Greg Abbott Urged to Strip Emergency Powers Before Democrat Gina Hinojosa Takes Over Texas
A Texas Republican says Hinojosa could inherit “nearly all the powers of a dictator” if lawmakers don’t act in the next ten weeks
Republican state Rep. Brian Harrison wants Gov. Greg Abbott to call a special session and limit the emergency powers Democrat Gina Hinojosa will inherit. “We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it,” Harrison wrote. Hinojosa has pledged to declare a high-cost emergency.
Why It Matters to You: Emergency powers could let a governor change taxes and energy policy without a vote of the Legislature. Whether Republicans act now will decide how much power Hinojosa inherits. READ MORE

The president calls Miller one of his “most trusted advisors” as Wiles moves to his political operation
President Trump is shaking up his White House after the midterm losses, naming Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. Susie Wiles confirmed the move, saying, “Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.” Some Republicans are already calling the pick a mistake.
Why It Matters to You: Miller is the architect of Trump’s immigration agenda. Putting him in charge of the White House signals the border fight is far from over, even with Democrats taking control of Congress. READ MORE
