Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR) (the ‘Company‘ or ‘Silver Hammer‘) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated June 17, 2025 and August 5, 2025, it has closed the second and final tranche (the ‘Second Tranche‘) of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the ‘Offering‘), issuing 26,864,491 units (the ‘Units‘) at a price of CDN$0.055 per Unit for gross proceeds of CDN$1,477,547.01. Together with the first tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued an aggregate of 32,890,909 Units and raised total gross proceeds of CDN$1,809,000 under the Offering.

‘The Company is pleased to be fully subscribed and close over CDN$1.8 million, and I am excited to continue to be a large shareholder in the Company by subscribing once again alongside our existing and new shareholders. We have had significant interest in the private placement, well above the funds raised, and truly appreciate the support in the market,’ commented Peter A. Ball, President & CEO. ‘It will be an exciting period going forward for the Company in this robust silver market, which is approaching $43 per ounce, and showing potential for additional upside in the sector for 2026 and beyond. The Company is positioned extremely well with the ability to explore its seven historical high-grade drill-ready silver mines in Idaho and Nevada within our three 100% owned silver projects, with no royalties, or cumbersome earn-in exploration agreements, or future payments required. It was a tough past twelve months, but the market is back and so is Silver Hammer!’

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘Share‘) and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant‘). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The Second Tranche was completed in reliance on prospectus exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (‘NI 45-106‘), and, for greater certainty, did not include any portion completed under the listed issuer financing exemption set out in Part 5A of NI 45-106. All securities issued in connection with the Second Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period of four months, expiring on January 19, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company paid finder’s fees consisting of CDN$44,679.40 in cash and issued 1,012,353 finder’s warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘) to eligible finders. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance.

Certain directors and officers of the Company have purchased an aggregate of 2,952,310 Units under the Second Tranche. Their participation constituted a ‘related party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the consideration paid exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for exploration of its Silver Strand project in Idaho and its Eliza and Silverton projects in Nevada (see below), as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Projects Overview:

Silverton Project, Nevada

Silver Hammer has identified several targets at its 100% owned Silverton Project in Nevada and currently has 13 drill targets identified. The Company’s technical team is currently ranking and prioritizing targets at Silverton with a view towards completing a Phase I drill program in the fall of 2025. Previous exploration work, including rock and soil sampling, geologic mapping and satellite imagery, provided evidence of two separate mineralized systems: silver rich and gold rich. The volcanic-hosted gold system highlighted grades ranging from 0.06 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) to 6.1 g/t gold (‘Au’). The silver dominated mineral system is hosted by silicified limestone with grades ranging from 0.32 g/t silver (‘Ag’) to 692 g/t Ag.

Silver Strand Project, Idaho

The Company plans to follow up on previous exploration results at its 100% owned Silver Strand Project in Idaho by executing an eight (8) hole exploration drill program via its Plan of Operations Permit, which was previously approved. The majority of surface samples collected across the property have returned gold and silver mineralization, and historical and recent drilling completed by Silver Hammer in 2021 and 2022, and by previous operators in 2002, highlight high-grade silver and gold mineralization below the lowest level (90 metres) of the mine. In addition, the Company has recently been approached by a local operator to review the project and to potentially mine the Silver Strand Mine for feed for their milling operation through a small miner exemption previously granted.

Highlighted historical drill results and drill results completed by Silver Hammer (2021/2022) (refer to the Company’s website for detailed disclosure):

Drill Hole # Au Grade (g/t) Ag Grade (g/t) Length (m)
DDH02-001: 9.76 24.50 2.20
DDH02-003: 10.20 199.06 3.30

*All reported intervals are downhole core lengths. Estimated true thickness’ range from 50% to 90% depending on the angle of the drillholes. Drill holes DDH02-001, DDH02-003 and DDH02-004 were drilled by previous owner, New Jersey Mining Company in 2002.

Eliza Project, Nevada

The Company plans to follow up on the significant previous exploration results at its 100% owned Eliza Project in Nevada. Results from rock chip and grab samples (from 2021 and 2022) confirmed the existence of a well-developed silver-rich mineral system, which also showed elevated enrichments in copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn):

Sample ID No. Ag (g/t) Cu (%) Zn (%) Pb (%)
EZR007 1540 6.88 7.38 Not Sig.
EZR008 1410 5.40 2.60 9.05
PN662703 1290 Not Sig. Not Sig. Not Sig.
PN662717 1180 7.70 13.4 11.00
PN614025 450 4.89 15.00 9.04

The Company is currently fast tracking a property-wide Plan of Operations to submit to the USFS to ensure the project can be fully explored and advanced to a drill ready state on USFS ground, while also prioritizing exploration efforts for a 2026 drill program on patented ground within the Eliza Project area that encompasses the high-grade past-producing California Mine. The Company has completed a property-wide geophysical study, and ground truthing, including geologic mapping and structural analysis, to assist in finalizing the drill targets focused on the silver-rich mineral system mentioned above.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (September 17) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$115,680, a one percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$114,940, and its highest was US$116,225.

Bitcoin price performance, September 17, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

The crypto markets showed immediate volatility following today’s US Federal Reserve interest rate decision, which was a widely anticipated 25 basis points, lowering the target range to 4 to 4.25 percent.

Bitcoin initially rose slightly above US$116,000, but then dropped below US$115,000 as traders digested Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks. He noted that inflation risks are currently tilted to the upside, while employment risks are to the downside, posing a challenging situation for policy balance.

Ether (ETH) hovered near US$4,500, showing some cautious optimism against the macro backdrop. It was priced at US$4,519.07 at the closing bell, its highest valuation of the day and an increase of 0.6 percent over the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$4440.

Crypto derivatives analytics and market indicators

Total BTC Futures Open Interest was at 727.55K BTC, equivalent to US$84.19 billion, up by 1.15 percent over four hours and 0.04 percent over 24 hours. The perpetual funding rate for BTC was at 0.0057 percent, while the ETH funding rate stood at 0.0041 percent, indicating bullish market sentiment.

Liquidations reached US$143.67 million over the past four hours, with long positions representing the majority, signaling strong selling pressure that could push prices down.

BTC dominance stands at 55.8 percent.

ETF data

Institutional Bitcoin demand is now outpacing new issuance. Bitwise data shows that US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows far exceed new Bitcoin supply. Monday’s (September 15) Bitcoin ETF inflows were about US$260 million versus ETH’s US$360 million, followed by an uptick to US$292 million on Tuesday (September 16).

This seven day inflow streak (US$2.9 billion) is the largest since July, pushing total Bitcoin ETF assets to US$151.7 billion, or around 6.6 percent of Bitcoin’s market cap. Data shows that 97 percent of this surge came from US spot funds, pushing their combined holdings to a record 1.32 million BTC.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

Sentiment gauges have cooled from recent highs.

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently stands around 51 (neutral), down from “greed” levels last week.

The neutral reading, which is up only slightly from 49 last week, shows that while neither bullish nor bearish sentiments are dominant, investors are still cautiously optimistic buoyed by ETF inflows and Fed hopes of favorable interest rates.

Altcoin price update

Altcoins continued to show strength midweek, with many outperforming Bitcoin.
  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$238.66, an increase of 0.4 percent over the last 24 hours and its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$232.78.
  • XRP was trading for US$3.04, down by 0.4 percent in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.99, and its highest value was US$3.06.
  • SUI (Sui) was valued at US$3.68, trading at its highest valuation of the day and up by 1.3 percent over the past 24 hours. Its lowest price point today was US$3.54.
  • Cardano (ADA) was priced at US$0.8832, up by 1.3 percent over 24 hours to its highest value of the day. Its lowest valuation was US$0.8634.

Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin ETF inflows surge to highest level since July

Bitcoin exchange-traded products drew their largest weekly inflows since late July, according to K33 Research, as institutional investors piled back into the market.

Net inflows totaled 20,685 BTC, pushing US spot ETFs’ combined holdings to a record 1.32 million BTC.

Analysts say the fresh demand is outpacing new supply nearly nine times over, creating strong upward pressure on prices. Bitwise notes that this reallocation is coming at the expense of Ethereum, with capital flowing back into Bitcoin after months of mixed positioning. ETF inflows have become a critical driver of performance, with Bitwise data showing an unprecedented correlation between flows and price action.

With more than 22,000 BTC accumulated via funds in the last month, compared with just 14,000 newly mined, analysts see this as a bullish signal for the final quarter of the year.

Forward Industries files for US$4 billion ATM equity offering

Forward Industries (NASDAQ:FORD), a prominent Solana treasury company, has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program.

This initiative, announced on Wednesday, will be facilitated by Cantor Fitzgerald and will enable the company to incrementally sell up to US$4 billion of its common stock on the open market.

The company said it plans to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital, its Solana token strategy and acquiring income-generating assets.

Chairman of the Board, Kyle Samani, stated this offering provides a flexible mechanism to deploy capital for its Solana treasury strategy, scale its position, which already has over 6.8 million SOL purchased, strengthen its balance sheet and pursue growth initiatives.

Google, Coinbase partner for stablecoin payments in AI protocol

Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) have joined forces to integrate stablecoin payments into AP2, a new open-source artificial intelligence (AI) payments protocol.

Developed in close collaboration with Coinbase, Google’s AP2 enables AI applications and agents to autonomously send and receive payments using both traditional methods and stablecoins. The AP2 system aims to establish a universal, secure, compliant, and flexible payment language for both legacy financial rails and emerging digital assets.

Ultimately, this will enable AI agents to conduct financial transactions in applications like personal shopping or financial advising, without human intervention, a significant step toward an AI economy powered by digital payments.

The initiative extends beyond Google and Coinbase, including the Ethereum Foundation and over 60 other companies from both the crypto and traditional finance sectors, such as Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Etsy.

This partnership ensures the payment infrastructure supports stablecoins and integrates with Coinbase’s existing AI-driven crypto payment system, positioning Coinbase centrally in Google’s efforts to merge AI with digital money, capitalizing on the growing adoption and interest in stablecoins.

Bullish secures New York BitLicense

Bullish has secured a BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services, a key regulatory approval allowing the company’s US entity to legally provide cryptocurrency spot trading and custody services to institutional clients and advanced traders in New York State. This regulatory milestone in New York, a major financial hub, is critical for Bullish’s full-scale launch and expansion in the US market. The company is one of a handful of crypto firms licensed under this rigorous state framework, joining firms like Gemini and Paxos.

The BitLicense will enable Bullish to offer regulated, institutional-grade digital asset services in New York, increasing access for hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and other institutional players.

CEO Tom Farley emphasized the company’s commitment to regulatory compliance and building trusted infrastructure. President Chris Tyrer highlighted that clear regulation drives responsible market evolution and institutional engagement.

Metaplanet expands to US with new Bitcoin income unit

Metaplanet (TSE:3350,OTCQX:MTPLF) has established a Miami-based subsidiary to oversee its Bitcoin income generation business, following the close of a US$1.44 billion global equity sale earlier this month.

The new arm, Metaplanet Income, received an initial US$15 million capital injection and will focus on derivatives trading and related yield strategies separate from the company’s core treasury holdings.

Upsized from an original plan of 180 million shares to 385 million due to strong demand, the offering raised ¥212.9 billion in gross proceeds. Funds are earmarked for further Bitcoin purchases through October as well as expansion of income products that have generated steady revenue since late 2024. Management says the new US subsidiary will not materially affect 2025 earnings but strengthens its long-term operational footprint.

Saudi Arabia doubles down on digital payments with Google and Ant

Saudi Arabia is accelerating its financial technology ambitions through new partnerships with Google Pay and Ant International, its central bank confirmed at the Money20/20 conference in Riyadh. Google Pay will now integrate with the country’s mada network, allowing cardholders to manage payments through Google Wallet.

Meanwhile, a collaboration with Ant International aims to enable cross-border QR code payments linking mada with Alipay+ by 2026. The push is expected to benefit small and mid-sized merchants.

Dogecoin and XRP, two of the most widely followed cryptocurrencies, have crossed into the US exchange-traded fund market.

REX-Osprey, a joint venture between REX Shares and Osprey Funds, launched the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF (CBOE:DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (CBOE:XRPR) this week, marking the first US-listed ETFs to provide spot exposure to the tokens.

Greg King, CEO and founder of REX Financial and Osprey Funds, framed the move as an extension of the firm’s first-to-market strategy. “Investors look to ETFs as trading and access vehicles,” said Greg King, CEO and founder of REX Financial and Osprey Funds.

“The digital asset revolution is already underway, and to be able to offer exposure to some of the most popular digital assets is something REX-Osprey is proud of and has worked diligently to achieve,” King added.

DOJE is the first ETF to hold spot Dogecoin, a token that began as an online parody in 2013 and rose to prominence through social media enthusiasm, celebrity endorsements, and its instantly recognizable Shiba Inu mascot. The ETF gives traditional brokerage account holders the ability to trade DOGE without direct crypto exchange access.

For XRP, XRPR provides investors with exposure to the cryptocurrency best known for enabling fast, low-cost cross-border payments. The fund intends to hold most of its assets directly in XRP, with the remainder in exchange-traded products backed by the token.

The fund quickly gathered momentum, surpassing US$275 million in assets under management before converting into a Regulated Investment Company structure in September to improve tax efficiency.

With DOJE and XRPR, REX-Osprey is broadening its reach and reinforcing its brand as a crypto ETF innovator. Both funds are structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which imposes stringent oversight on fund operations and investor protections.

The launches were met with an immediate surge in token activity.

Dogecoin jumped 5.77 percent to US$0.28 on Thursday (September 18), with daily trading volume climbing more than 44 percent to US$5.66 billion. XRP rose 3.05 percent to US$3.12, with its 24-hour volume up 75 percent to nearly US$7.8 billion.

Recent regulatory clarity has led to competition heating up in the US crypto ETF market. After years of regulatory hurdles, spot bitcoin ETFs opened the floodgates in early 2025, drawing billions in inflows.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a campaign event Tuesday evening that he stayed close with Charlie Kirk after he appeared as his debut guest on his podcast, ‘This is Gavin Newsom,’ in January.

‘He was gracious enough, to not only say, yes, he flew out, to do it in person,’ Newsom said to progressive political commentator Bryan Tyler Cohen. 

‘And I spent not just the hour plus, in a very civil conversation with Charlie, I spent time with him after, and we stayed in touch, including my team, stayed in touch pretty consistently,’ the liberal governor said.

Kirk and Newsom clashed over transgender athletes in women’s sports on the podcast, but Newsom — breaking with his progressive base — sided with Kirk, calling it ‘an issue of fairness’ and ‘deeply unfair.’ He also noted that his own children watch Kirk’s videos.

‘Obviously, we have deep differences of opinion,’ Newsom said Tuesday. ‘Obviously, he was very offended by positions I hold dear, and I, in turn, very offended by things that he said in positions he held. But the fact is, we had that opportunity to engage.’

‘It’s all at stake,’ the governor continued. ‘This is a profound and consequential moment in American history. We can lose this republic if we do not assert ourselves. And stand tall at this moment and stand guard, to this republic and our democracy.’

The comments came during a three-hour livestream rebranded as a Voter Registration Day Rally after Kirk’s death. Newsom framed his ‘FAFO 50’ (F— Around and Find Out) redistricting measure as part of a broader battle against what he called a ‘code red’ threat to American democracy. Joined by Democrat politicians, celebrities and influencers, Newsom claimed President Donald Trump and his allies are undermining institutions from universities to the Justice Department, and pushing to redefine dissent as ‘hate speech.’ 

Newsom urged Democrats to wield their ‘moral authority’ with ‘muscularity’ to counter Republican redistricting efforts.

‘We need to win this,’ he said, ‘or we lose this republic, we lose this democracy.’

Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA — the nation’s largest grassroots conservative youth movement — was assassinated last week at Utah Valley University during his ‘American Comeback Tour,’ where he invited liberal students to challenge him in open debate and ask questions.

Suspect Tyler Robinson was formally charged by the state of Utah on Tuesday. Robinson espoused far-left ideology and had a ‘hatred’ for Kirk’s views, according to an indictment.

Ahead of Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, his organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), added new commemorative merchandise to its online store this week. 

The 11 new items are available ahead of Kirk’s celebration of life ceremony, which is scheduled for Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. President Donald Trump will speak at Kirk’s memorial service along with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

One T-shirt features a line-art illustration of the Kirk family walking hand in hand, with a halo above Charlie Kirk’s head. Under the image, in bold block letters, the shirt reads ‘NEVER SURRENDER,’ and beneath, in script, it says ‘Love, An American Mother.’ A black shirt dubbed as the memorial tee, features a bold distressed graphic with the words ‘This Is Our Turning Point.’ The new merchandise also includes baseball hats and stickers.

In addition to the new merchandise, Kirk’s books are charting in Amazon’s top 20, and his podcast has soared to the No. 1 position in multiple categories. Meanwhile, millions have gravitated to Kirk’s social media presence in the wake of his assassination. The spike has been especially pronounced on YouTube, where subscriber growth has translated into higher view counts and a jump in estimated earnings.

Kirk was assassinated on Sept. 10 during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University. The gathering was the first stop on TPUSA’s planned ‘American Comeback Tour,’ and, at first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The charismatic founder of TPUSA gained recognition for his signature political debates on college campuses. Before the shot that killed him was fired, Kirk sat under a white tent marked with the slogan ‘Prove Me Wrong,’ fielding open-mic questions from thousands. 

After his death, TPUSA has seen a massive surge in inquiries for new college chapters as the organization works to advance Kirk’s vision. Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of ‘The Charlie Kirk Show,’ said the organization has received more than 54,000 requests to establish new campus chapters, adding to its current network of 900 official chapters. 

He also told Fox News Digital that he has ‘personally received hundreds of offers to work’ for TPUSA.

The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines on Wednesday to table a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over comments about Charlie Kirk.

Four House Republicans voted with Democrats to table the legislation, effectively blocking it from receiving its own House-wide vote. A vote to table is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself.

The measure was blocked in a narrow 214 to 213 vote. The four Republicans who voted to table the measure are Reps. Mike Flood, R-Neb., Tom McClintock, R-Calif., Jeff Hurd, R-Colo., and Cory Mills, R-Fla.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., moved to force a vote on the resolution Tuesday by introducing it as ‘privileged,’ a mechanism that requires House leaders to deal with a measure within two legislative days. 

It’s part of the continued fallout from Omar’s remarks made days after Kirk’s assassination, which conservatives have accused of disparaging the conservative activist’s legacy.

She specifically faced backlash over an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo, where she criticized Kirk’s past commentary and Republicans’ reaction to the shooting. She later accused Republicans of taking her words out of context, and she called Kirk’s death ‘mortifying.’

She previously told Zeteo days after Kirk’s assassination that he had ‘downplayed slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn’t exist.’

‘There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate,’ the ‘Squad’ member said. ‘There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.’

She later posted on X amid the backlash, ‘While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis.’

Kirk was shot and killed during a college campus speaking event in Utah. 

Mace introduced her resolution on the House floor Tuesday by reading it on the House floor.

‘Charlie Kirk was a lifelong advocate for freedom of speech, civil political discourse and the political engagement of youth,’ Mace read aloud. ‘One day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Representative Ilhan Omar gave an interview on Zeteo’s town hall with Mehdi Hassan, in which she smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to blame for his own murder.’

Mace also accused Omar of reposting a video that said, ‘Don’t be fooled, these people don’t give a single s— about Charlie Kirk. They’re just using his death to further their Christo-fascist agenda.’

Other progressives leaped to Omar’s defense, including Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., who posted on X, ‘Babe, those are not direct quotes from Ilhan Omar. According to the APA, if you use a direct quotation, it must sustain your claim. The quotes you used are not Ilhan’s words, they are not in context and do not prove your point. Read before you tweet.’

It’s one of several measures targeting Omar over her comments.

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who is running for Senate, introduced his own measure to strip Omar of her committee assignments on Monday.

The House voted Wednesday to advance a resolution honoring slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, clearing the way for floor debate later this week.

Lawmakers voted in favor of advancing the measure and a bill to avert a government shutdown in a joint mechanism known as a ‘rule vote.’

The rule was adopted in a 216 to 210 vote along party lines. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who is known to be opposing the federal funding bill, was the lone lawmaker from either side to vote ‘present.’

Massie explained to Fox News Digital that he vehemently supports the Kirk resolution, but opposed an unrelated provision in the rule that blocks Congress’ ability from weighing in on tariff policy.

‘I’m a cosponsor of the Kirk resolution, and obviously I will vote for it, but shamefully they turned off Congress’s ability to vote on tariffs with this rule,’ Massie said.

Rule votes are procedural hurdles that commonly tie together unrelated pieces of legislation that, if adopted, allow House lawmakers to debate each measure individually before respective votes. 

The current rule’s adoption means House lawmakers could vote on the resolution to honor Kirk on either Thursday or Friday.

A vote on the measure to avert a government shutdown – a short-term extension of current federal funding levels called a continuing resolution, or CR – is expected Friday morning.

It is not surprising that no Democrats supported the rule’s adoption on Wednesday; rule votes traditionally fall along party lines and have rarely seen bipartisan crossover, even if the legislation they include has wide support from both Republicans and Democrats.

And while Democrats are largely expected to buck the GOP-led government funding patch, the resolution to honor Kirk’s legacy is expected to get healthy bipartisan support.

The Turning Point USA founder was assassinated last week during a college campus speaking event in Utah.

The resolution to honor him, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., lauded Kirk as ‘one of the most prominent voices in America, engaging in respectful, civil discourse across college campuses, media platforms and national forums, always seeking to elevate truth, foster understanding and strengthen the Republic.’

It also said Kirk’s ‘commitment to civil discussion and debate stood as a model for young Americans across the political spectrum, and he worked tirelessly to promote unity without compromising on conviction,’ and it called his killing ‘a sobering reminder of the growing threat posed by political extremism and hatred in our society.’

Both Democrats and Republicans have released statements condemning political violence in the wake of Kirk’s killing.

The latter measure that advanced on Wednesday evening, the CR, will keep government agencies funded at current levels through Nov. 21 of this year – if it’s passed by the House and Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump.

That bill includes a combined $88 million in added security funds for Congress, the judicial branch and the executive branch.

Conversations about boosting lawmaker security, in particular, had been ongoing but took on new urgency after Kirk’s death.
