Major Virginia Redistricting Case update: The Virginia Supreme Court (#SCOVA) has DENIED the emergency request to stay the injunction of certification of last week's Gerrymandering referendum! In the 'tea leaves' category, this is as positive a 'tea leaf' as one might imagine! If #SCOVA thought they would let the referendum stand, then logically they would have lifted the injunction on counting & certifying the votes. Caveat: this is still just tea leaves, but it's a good sign. @Kalshi & @Polymarket are probably crashing on this at the moment :) @ETI_now

@brianstelter Reminder for those who didn't see what he said

CNN security correspondent Josh Campbell says we 100% percent know the WHCD shooter's motives thanks to his manifesto: KATE BOLDUAN: You're a former FBI agent. What do you make of the man's writings that he sent to family just before the attack? JOSH CAMBELL: Well, look, you know, you and I have covered so many acts of violence where there is often a lingering question about what was the motive. And sometimes that's laborious work for law enforcement to try to dig into that. You take, for example, the attempted assassination against President Trump last year in Pennsylvania. To this day, there are still major questions about the motive. Very mysterious. This is not that, Kate. I mean, everything that we're learning about this person from his own purported writings, he essentially lays out what the motive is. That's his deep animus for the president, for members of the Trump administration. He goes in this long, kind of delusional, ranting manifesto, which I won't get into to amplify, but he basically has a target list. And he goes so far as to, you know, think, okay, people are going to criticize me for doing certain things. Here's my rebuttal to each of those points. And this is what FBI profilers typically call the typical grievance collector, someone who appears that they're so motivated by grievances that they then decide to act on violence. That manifesto will certainly be critical evidence in his prosecution.

Their duty is to take the bullet for the president so that our constitutional system is safeguarded and legitimate government continues. We lose sight of that sometimes but their duty is righteous and brave

MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townsend recounts how poor security was at the WHCD. She says she was able to roll up to the front door on a scooter and security did not ask to see her ID nor see her ticket, they assumed she was a guest at the hotel: "I actually showed up to the Hilton shortly after 8 P.M. And I actually took a scooter right up to the front of the Hilton driveway. And this matters because, as you know, usually there's a lot of protesters outside that's outside of those barricades before you can actually enter into the driveway of the Hilton. But this year, there are no protesters outside. I come to find out the people were actually milling about into the lobby. When I got off of the scooter and into in front of the barricade, usually you have to show ID and a ticket. The folks, the security at the gate, these were not agents, the Secret Service agents. They were not identified as Secret Service agents that I could see at the gate, but they did not ask me to show ID, and they did not ask me to show a ticket. They said, 'Oh, you're good. I'm sure you're going to your room.' I am not staying at the Washington Hilton. As I entered into the driveway, I saw the president's vehicle. The Beast was driving around in the circle of the Hilton driveway, and people walking around near it, taking photos. Secret Service was not keeping a perimeter. And it went around about two or three times while I was outside. When I entered into the Hilton, I asked Secret Service agents, which I saw they were identified as Secret Service agents, which way the ballroom was, and they said they didn't know. When I finally got my way onto elevator, no one asked me to show ID. No one asked me to show a ticket. I got all the way down to the red carpet area without ever showing a ticket to anyone in the Hilton. I am saying it like this because this is unusual."

The shooter as posted from President Trump’s Truth Social.

BREAKING: First images allegedly shows the shooter in custody following the incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

MS NOW's Ken Dilanian says he saw a Code Pink activist disguised as a dinner attendee get escorted out of the hotel prior to the shots being fired.

Donald Trump has survived more attempts on his life than any other president.

The whca dinner is one of the most guarded and secured dinners of the entire year. Multiple security screenings at multiple levels of the hotel. Shocked a gun could even get close

BREAKING: At 843 pm Eastern, CNN's @KaitlanCollins says there was a shooter INSIDE the #WHCD in the Hilton lobby

The postwar world order is fragmenting. Confidence in institutions is declining. And across the United States and other democracies, a central question is emerging: What comes next? Learn more: hoover.org/economic-and-s… The Hoover Institution is launching its most ambitious initiative in decades, the Economic & Security Commons, to help answer that central question. Inspired by George Shultz, this effort convenes leading scholars and practitioners to renew American leadership, strengthen democracy, and expand opportunity in a rapidly changing world. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, this is a call to rethink, reaffirm its founding ideals, and lead at home and abroad.
