for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson for a conflict of interest.

The governor, who is up for reelection, says we're taking thoughtful steps to ensure girls' sports are fair and athletes are safe. His potential Democrat opponent, Alexis Hill, calls the petition hateful and an effort to drive Republican turnout. Jack Callahan. Fox News.
