Shots rang out at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, turning a night meant to celebrate journalism into pure panic. Guests dove under tables, Secret Service rushed into action, and Donald Trump was evacuated as a heavily armed suspect attempted to breach security. We break down exactly what happened, what we know about the suspect, and how this incident fits into a growing pattern of political violence in America.
Then—almost immediately—Trump and his allies pivot. Instead of answers, they're pushing a $400 million White House ballroom, claiming it would solve security concerns, despite legal battles and public backlash. Is this about safety… or something else?
We also dig into the broader implications: what this moment says about press freedom, public safety, and the ongoing fight over civil liberties as Trump continues to signal sweeping changes that critics say could erode basic rights.
All the updates, all the context, and everything you need to know to start your day.
