The Washington Post reports that the shooter at the Buffalo, New York grocery store modified his weapon to ensure it held more ammunition.

The man, Payton S. Gendron, used a used Bushmaster XM-15 semiautomatic rifle that he bought legally and he added a high-capacity magazine. The report revealed that Gendron openly wrote in his manifesto about the gun, noting that he got it in a small gun shop about 15 miles from his hometown, Conklin. He paid $960 he said.

Speaking to a panel about the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin asked about the tapes that recorded witnesses who answered questions. While many in President Donald Trump's family were willing to speak, there were others who have fought back.

"Michael, Rudy Giuliani claimed he bailed on the committee staffers wouldn't let him make his own recording. Do you actually believe that?" asked Mohyeldin of Steele.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has launched his own attack against Disney by targeting U.S. copyright laws that would cause serious problems across the American and international legal systems, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote in an editorial column.

The new legislation proposed by Hawley would pull all copyright and patents out from under companies just 56 years after they were created. It would also work retroactively, Hawley's law says. The way it works now, the creator gets the patent and copyright for their lifetime and then 70 years after. So, the Hawley law would considerably reduce that, which would violate the U.S.'s international agreements and treaties.

Lara Trump claimed on Sunday that the mass shooting at the Geneva Presbyterian Church on Sunday was motivated by pro-choice rhetoric.

Speaking on her Fox program, the daughter-in-law of the former president claimed, with no sense of irony, that it’s "very dangerous" when you have a president "who just kind of says crazy-sounding things."

CNN host Jim Acosta pointed to the Fox network for their ongoing promotion of the theory the Buffalo, New York shooter adopted as his philosophy. Police discovered a manifesto that addressed the so-called "white replacement" theory, or "replacement theory," which holds that Democrats are somehow orchestrating an increase in people of color to intentionally dominate white people.

Fox hosts Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson have both hosted shows about the theory.

At least two people are dead after a mass shooting at a Houston, Texas flea market, KHOU reported Sunday.

Two men were pronounced dead immediately and three are still in critical condition at area hospitals after a disturbance that resulted in guns being drawn.

A suspect is in custody after a mass shooting at a chuch in Laguna Woods, California which is south of Los Angeles in Orange County. Orange County reporter at KCal9 said that his sources are telling him that one person is dead and four are injured.

NBC Los Angeles police said that they were responding to the 24000 block of El Toro Road. Photos and videos of the police and fire department were centered around Geneva Presbyterian Church.

The Buffalo, New York shooter has been exposed as a racist man who believes in the conspiracy theory that Democratic leaders are attempting to replace white people with people of color. Known as "great replacement" theory, the Fox network has been responsible for elevating the idea to its millions of viewers many times.

Washington Post columnist Max Boot, a conservative, explained that this kind of ideology has become mainstream not just on the Fox network but also in the Republican Party. Writing Sunday, Boot recalled the conservative writer who coined the phrase “ideas have consequences.”

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) revealed that he had a mild stroke on Friday. In a video posted to Twitter, he said that he wasn't feeling well and his wife made him go to the hospital.

The stroke was caused by atrial fibrillation (afib) that had gone on for a while. Doctors believe this is what caused a clot that then caused the stroke. CNN reported after speaking with the campaign that the doctors see the prognosis will be good.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, has warned many of the state's Native American tribes that if they allow abortion on sovereign land he will intervene.

“Oklahomans will not think very well of that if tribes try to set up abortion clinics," Stitt said on Fox News Sunday.

Soon-to-be former MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Thursday reported on the subpoenas of Republican elected officials thought to have been involved in events surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. According to Todd, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol is "surrendering."

"This feels like a bit of surrendering in this respect here there is no other way they think they're going to get cooperation, so they figure, 'let's try to subpoena route,' because I feel like everybody explained to me that they thought the subpoena route was actually delayed their ability to do the investigation and perhaps run out the clock if control of the House of Representatives changes," said Todd.

A Florida class president says that he's feeling silenced after the so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill was passed by the Republican legislature and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

As NBC News reports, principal Stephen Covert of Pine View School in Osprey, Florida, told senior Zander Moricz that any mention of anything involving LGBTQ+ would get his microphone cut off during his graduation speech.

Federal prosecutors are asking courts to give Josh Duggar the maximum sentence in his case. Duggar was found guilty of receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography in December 2021. Two of the charges were dismissed, so Duggar can only get 20 years as a maximum.

Nonetheless, this is what prosecutors are asking for and they claim that he's the "worst of the worst" when it comes to sex offenders.
