🧵THREAD: I want you to see this clearly.
Two hours after a man with a shotgun fired shots at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, sixteen of the most prominent MAGA influencers on X all posted the same message.
The message was not "thank God the President is safe."
The message was "this is why we need the White House ballroom."

O'DONNELL: In his manifesto, he wrote that 'I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.' What's your reaction?
TRUMP: I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're horrible people. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. I'm not a pedophile. Excuse me. You read that crap from a sick person. I was totally exonerated. You should be ashamed of yourself, reading that. You're a disgrace.

NEW: Prospects for meaningful US-Iran negotiations remain low due to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ (IRGC) domination of decision-making and opposition to compromise. Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi travelled to Muscat, Oman, on April 26 to discuss security in the Strait of Hormuz with Omani Sultan Haitham al Tariq. (1/2)
Other Key Takeaway:
Israel deployed an Iron Dome battery and Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) personnel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which demonstrates the deepening of Israeli and Emirati security ties as a result of the war. Two Israeli officials and one US official told Western media on April 26 that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the IDF to send an Iron Dome battery and “several dozen” IDF personnel to operate it after a phone call with Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed.

The United States has continued to enforce its blockade on Iranian ports. US forces intercepted the US-sanctioned, Panamanian-flagged Sevan (IMO: 9177806) gas tanker on April 25 in the Arabian Sea. The US Treasury Department sanctioned the Sevan on April 24 for transporting Iranian oil and gas products to foreign markets. The Sevan entered the Strait of Hormuz on April 21 via the Iranian-approved route and crossed the US blockade line on April 24, according to commercially available shipping data. Maritime intelligence company Tanker Trackers said on April 25 that the Sevan recently loaded gas in Iran, and travels frequently to Bangladesh and Yemen. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated on April 25 that it has redirected 37 Iranian or Iranian-linked vessels since the start of the blockade.

- 15K fewer farms in 2025

Hear me out:
Maybe forget about the ballroom and focus on investigating how a wannabe assassin armed with multiple weapons, was able to check into a Hotel and get into an event on site, where at least 12/18 members of the presidential line of succession were in attendance.
Acting AG Todd Blanche@DAGToddBlanche
It’s time to build the ballroom.

BREAKING: Iran is no longer willing to negotiate over its nuclear program at all, per Tasnim. Discussions will only cover ending the war, sanctions relief, compensation, and lifting the blockade. Nuclear issues "could be addressed later in a separate agreement," only after the war has ended.
Nuclear was the central issue in the first round of Islamabad talks, with Trump saying it was "the only point that really mattered." Iran has now removed it from the table entirely.
Trump says the war won't end without a nuclear deal. Iran says nuclear won't be discussed until the war ends.
