1. The 22-year-old accused of assassinating political activist Charlie Kirk is expected to be formally charged today. Prosecutors are preparing to file three charges against the Utah man, including a capital murder charge. In fact, we're less than an hour away from the Utah County Attorney’s Office holding a press conference about the charges. Tyler Robinson is being held under what's called “special watch”, which is essentially isolation, to ensure that others don't harm him or that he doesn't harm himself. And ahead of the murder charges being brought against him later today, the FBI has been laying out a tremendous amount of evidence against him, including what they are calling a confession. Robinson appeared to take responsibility for the shooting in a message to friends on a chat platform. Once charges are filed, Robinson is scheduled to appear for a virtual court hearing. That's set for 4PM our time. He's been held without bail since his arrest.
2. Luigi Mangione appearing in a New York state court today, where a judge dismisses terrorism charges in the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione is still facing second-degree murder charges that could get him life in prison.
3. A new poll reveals just how many parents are now choosing not to vaccinate their children. The Washington Post finds one in six parents have either delayed or skipped some of the standard vaccines for their kids. The data shows while most parents view childhood vaccines as safe and important, they're less confident in the flu and COVID shots. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy continues to question the safety of some vaccines. Just yesterday, he appointed 5 new members to the CDC's advisory committee, a panel responsible for making vaccine recommendations. Some of the new members have previously been skeptical of vaccines.
