Texas state leaders have voiced support for expanding Turning Point USA’s high school program across the state.

Turning Point USA, a organization founded by Charlie Kirk, operates a high school affiliate known as Club America. Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick recently highlighted efforts to grow those student chapters on Texas high school campuses.

During the announcement, Abbott warned that school districts should not block student-led political groups if other clubs are allowed. He said districts that interfere should be “reported to the Texas Education Agency,” adding that the state would “take action” if schools violate student free speech protections.

State officials emphasized that the effort does not mandate schools to host the clubs, but that federal law protects students’ rights to form political organizations on campus. Turning Point USA says hundreds of Texas high schools already have Club America chapters, and state leaders have said they want that number to increase.

For more info and credibility, we have shared a press release from the Office of the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott:

Details provided to AUME in an email from the Arlington Police Department confirm an arrest has been made in the November 12 shooting along I-20 that killed 29-year-old Bre’Asia Johnson and her unborn child.

The shooting happened around 7:41 p.m. as Johnson and her boyfriend were traveling westbound on I-20 near Bowman Springs Road. After both were shot, the boyfriend called 911 and pulled into a parking lot on Little Road, where first responders met them. Johnson was taken to a hospital and later pronounced deceased. APD confirmed she was pregnant.

The 28-year-old boyfriend survived after being hospitalized with serious injuries. Two children in the back seat were evaluated by medical staff and were not seriously hurt. A second vehicle was also struck by gunfire, but no one inside was injured.

Investigators determined the attack was targeted — not road rage. According to APD, Miner had previously been in a relationship with Johnson and had an ongoing conflict with her boyfriend. Police say cell phone location records from Miner’s phone and Johnson’s phone not only placed Miner at the scene, but showed his movements closely matched Johnson’s in the minutes leading up to the shooting. The records suggest Miner followed the victims the night of the shooting

APD says homicide detectives obtained warrants for 29-year-old Malik Miner on a Capital Murder charge, three counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and one count of Deadly Conduct. On December 10, the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force located him in Midlothian and took him into custody without incident. Miner declined to speak to investigators after being arrested.

Last night, the Arlington City Council voted 5–4 not to reinstate LGBTQ+ protections in its local nondiscrimination ordinance.

The protections, first adopted in 2021, covered areas like housing, employment, and public accommodations based on sexual orientation and gender identity. During the public hearing, residents spoke both for and against restoring the ordinance.

Supporters said the protections helped people report discrimination and reflected community values. Others, raised concerns about potential legal and financial risks.

CHECK ON YA BROKE FRIENDS 😭🥹

Overall prices have increased enough that $100,000 today (as of Sept 2025) has the same purchasing power as about $50,000 in 1995, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.

CPI tracks the everyday prices households face (such as food, rent, transportation, and medical care) and shows how those costs have risen over time.

Simply put, the data indicates that overall consumer prices have roughly doubled over the last 30 years.

Arlington honors the life and legacy of Elzie Delano Odom — a trailblazer, community servant, and the city’s first Black mayor.

Born in 1929 in Shankleville, Texas, Odom’s roots ran deep in a historic freedom colony founded by his ancestors. After serving as one of the first Black postal inspectors in the nation, he moved to Arlington in 1979 and continued his lifelong commitment to service.

He made history again in 1990 as Arlington’s first Black City Councilmember, and in 1997 as the city’s first Black mayor. During his leadership, he championed youth and senior programs, strengthened local infrastructure, and helped secure major projects like The Ballpark in Arlington.

A devoted member of Mount Olive Baptist Church, Odom was known for his humility, faith, and dedication to uplifting the community. His legacy lives on through the Elzie Odom Athletic Center and the countless lives he influenced.

We send our condolences to the Odom Family.

UPDATE: Arlington Police are investigating a deadly shooting that occurred last night on westbound I-20 near Bowman Springs Rd that claimed the life of a young woman.
Around 7:40 PM, a man called for help from the QuikTrip located at I-20 and Little Rd in southwest Arlington, reporting he’d been shot. Officers found an adult male with a gunshot wound, an unresponsive adult female, and two children inside the vehicle.
The female victim—who investigators believe may have been pregnant—was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced deceased. The two children were transported to Medical City Arlington as a precaution, and the male victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Out of respect for the victims and their families, names will not be released until next of kin are notified.
A second vehicle was also struck by gunfire, but no injuries were reported.
No arrests have been made, and APD is urging anyone with information to contact investigators.

Arlington Police Department make an arrest in the 2021 murder of Alphonso Lewis Jr. nearly four years after he was found in the kitchen of his southwest Arlington apartment with a gun shot wound to his head.
According to a press release from APD, following an extensive investigation and from a tip after the police released a still image of the masked suspect, detectives identified 39-year-old Jason Reyes as the suspect. A warrant for his arrest on one count of Capital Murder was issued, and on October 30, 2025, members of the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force located Reyes in Fort Worth and took him into custody without incident.

Investigators say Lewis and Reyes knew each other and were reportedly involved in high-risk drug activity at the time of the shooting. Cell phone records and surveillance footage helped detectives connect Reyes to the scene.

Reyes is currently being held in Tarrant County Jail on one count of Capital Murder.

Tragic news — Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland died early Thursday morning, November 6, 2025, in Plano, TX, following a police chase.

Cowboys fans and sports fans around the world are mourning the loss of Kneeland, who had just scored his first NFL touchdown this past Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals. Kneeland was a second-round pick for the Cowboys in 2024.

The Dallas Morning News reports that Kneeland died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police chase. On Wednesday around 10:33 p.m., Texas Department of Public Safety officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Kneeland as he traveled on the Dallas North Tollway. He refused to stop, and troopers soon lost sight of the vehicle. The car was later found abandoned on Dallas Parkway after being involved in a crash. Kneeland fled on foot, and officers used drones and K-9 units in their search.

Around 1:31 a.m., Kneeland was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Plano PD later stated that they had received information indicating he had expressed suicidal thoughts.

We send our condolences to Marshawn Kneeland’s family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time.
