Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the Florida State University shooting?
A mass shooting at Florida State University has several people injured and some feared dead. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is there on FSU campus now and has the latest.
Chapter 2: Who is the suspect in the Florida State University shooting and what is known about the incident?
Yeah, scary scene here in Tallahassee. I happen to have an event scheduled at FSU today. I was just arriving to campus when we started hearing sirens and helicopters and police began frantically shutting down streets. We later learned that moments earlier, a gunman had opened fire outside of the student union. This is a breaking story, so details are still emerging.
But at the moment, police say at least two people are dead, while six more have been hospitalized. The shooter, who is 20 years old and the son of a sheriff's deputy, is in custody after being shot. It's not clear if he was struck by police or if the wound was self-inflicted. Police say they recovered a shotgun and handgun. Another firearm was also found in the suspect's vehicle.
Chapter 3: What is President Trump's opinion on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's performance?
President Trump is fed up with Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Daily Wire Managing Editor Tim Rice has more.
Though the president appointed Powell to the position during his first term, he's making clear that his patience has run out, demanding interest rate cuts now. After Powell criticized Trump's calls for cuts Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social today to accuse Powell of being always too late and wrong in his handling of the interest rate.
Chapter 4: What did Donald Trump say about Jerome Powell during the meeting with the Italian Prime Minister?
Trump has said that Powell is playing politics with the cuts and now says his termination cannot come fast enough. Trump was asked about Powell during a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney. Here's what he said.
I don't think he's doing the job. He's too late, always too late, a little slow, and I'm not happy with him. I let him know it, and if I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast, believe me.
Two Marines that were deployed as part of President Trump's border mission tragically died in a vehicle accident Tuesday. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has details.
Chapter 5: What happened in the vehicle accident that killed two Marines along the border?
As reported by the New York Post, the Marine civilian jeep dropped into a 10-foot ditch and rolled over on a narrow highway in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. The two soldiers tried to pass another vehicle on the two-lane highway, but tumbled into a deep ditch known as Snake Canyon, described as a hangout spot for both smugglers and snakes.
Chapter 6: Where did the Marine vehicle accident occur and what were the circumstances?
