42 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK -- The Reagan-Bush re-election team debuted its iconic "America Is Back" positive TV ad series Produced by the Tuesday Team Inc. for $400,000, the Reagan campaign launched the spots with a $1.6M ad buy on network and local TV prior to Memorial Day

From USSS. “attributable to a USSS Spokesperson  Shortly after 6:00 p.m. Saturday, an individual approached a Secret Service checkpoint in the area of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. A preliminary investigation indicates that as the individual approached, he removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers. Secret Service police officers returned fire, striking the suspect, who was transported to an area hospital, where he later died. During the shooting, a bystander was also struck by gunfire. It remains unclear whether the bystander was struck by the suspect’s initial gunfire or during the subsequent exchange of gunfire. No injuries were sustained by Secret Service personnel. The President was at the White House during the incident but was not impacted. The incident remains under investigation.”

Its been a nonstop few days in Kentucky, thanks to @WyattDobrovich for all his hard work on his first FNC politics field producing trip. Plenty more contests ahead - here's a recap on what happened across the South from tonight's @SpecialReport

@Phyllis94584953 @FaulknerFocus We’ve love our time in Lexington. Absolutely beautiful city - great people and food. Can’t wait to bring my family one day

@markpmeredith @FaulknerFocus Mark, are you down close to Vine and Main? The white building behind you looks like old Merrill office but can’t tell if you are farther down Main. Enjoy your stay, it’s a very sweet city with a great mayor that used to be a nurse❤️❤️

Today, plenty of new reaction to last night's primaries including from President Trump who addressed the press shortly before heading to CT. The latest from today's @FaulknerFocus

FITZPATRICK says he'll try to kill the DOJ slush fund. With a tiny majority, Fitzpatrick holds huge sway.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barney Frank, longtime Democratic congressman who crafted financial reforms and brought visibility to gay rights, dies.

2026 Watch-TONIGHT on @FoxNews - Republican Rep. @MassieforKY, targeted by @realDonaldTrump as he ran for re-election, tells supporters at his primary night HQ: "I have called and conceded the race. we've been honorable the whole time and we're going to stay that way" foxnews.com/politics/trump…

Polls closed at 7pm, AP called the KY senate GOP primary by 7:02pm. Media found out in real time...most of Andy Barr's supporters were in another room for food. We expect him to take the stage within the hour.

NEW: Polls have officially closed in Kentucky for a high-stakes primary night testing Donald Trump’s political influence. Trump has thrown his full weight behind a former Navy SEAL to oust vocal critic Rep. Thomas Massie in a record-breaking primary with over $30M spent on ads. Meanwhile, the race to replace retiring Senator Mitch McConnell is underway. @markpmeredith reports.

Stating the obvious, the Senate GOP is going to be pretty ungovernable for the next couple months. Unenviable task for White House office of legislative affairs.

NEW: President Trump endorses Ken Paxton in the TX GOP senate primary

👀 President Trump just said he’ll be making an endorsement in the Texas U.S. Senate race later today. Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton have been competing in a bitter GOP runoff that will take place on May 26. The winner will face Democrat James Talarico in November.

BREAKING: The NTSB has released new CCTV footage of UPS Flight 2976, showing the moment the left engine and its pylon detached from the wing during takeoff from Louisville.

President Trump will campaign with Rep. Mike Lawler in Rockland County on Friday #NY17

@ShawnReynolds_ The city is beautiful - long hours may mean no dinner tonight, but i'll keep an eye out for it!

@markpmeredith if you have time, swing by Joe Bologna’s for a breadstick. One of my fav places in Lex!

Tonight from beautiful Lexington, KY

A big day tomorrow in #Kentucky amid some high profile primaries. President Trump is not on the ballot but he looms large over two major contests. Our report from tonight's @SpecialReport
