It’s not being charged as a federal crime because it’s not an assassination. Or a hate crime. Nor did it happen on federal land.
NEW: Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin has been charged with state offenses because — for now — there's no apparent federal nexus.

Guys, I just want to say that on Friday I renewed my library card and took out a bunch of books that are not worthy, or serious, or educational. They're just stories, and they have already fundamentally made my mental health better.
