Trump: We're getting drug prices down by 400 or 500%, or depending on the way you want to phrase the question, you could say 4, 5, 600%, and you could also say 80%, 70%, et cetera. It all depends on the way you phrase the question. I like the 500 better
Florida passed a partisan gerrymandered map, in violation of their Constitution, and the Florida Supreme Court seems to be cool with that. But VA Supreme Court decided that a ballot measure to redistrict, approved by the people, was unconstitutional. This crop of Republicans suck
And yet again, the Press Secretary spews delusional false allegations against the Democrats. The Trump and MAGA party are the ones that spew violent rhetoric, as we saw that instigated the insurrection proving they want to dismantle our democracy so they have full power. #Trump
For the first time ever, they moved the perimeter zone.
They only had metal detectors outside the ballroom.
Unlike other years where the Secret Service also had an outside perimeter as they’ve done for nearly the entire history of this event…
Fox's Aishah Hasnie: Karoline Leavitt's husband leaned over and told me right as the WH Correspondents Dinner was starting, "You need to be very safe."
"He was very serious when that said that to me, and he kinda looked around the room and said, 'There are some–'"
*Call drops*
Something I noticed even before coming into the #WHCADinner was that the security was only outside the ballroom inside, not outside the building. So the entrance of the building did not have a security machine only guards, you only went through the screening before the ballroom. @Newsweek
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING MAJOR UPDATE:
Full picture emerging from the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting...
-Suspect assembled a "long" weapon in a lightly monitored area near the terrace-level entrance, according to a volunteer witness
-The room had bar carts being stored and "no security" at the time
-Witness Helen Mabus said the gun "didn't look like a typical gun" and was assembled from a bag
-Gunman then rushed toward the stairs leading down to the ballroom
-Opened fire in multiple directions, witness estimates "at least 10 shots"
-A law enforcement officer was struck, hit in the vest, condition unclear
-One person in custody, Trump and Melania safe
Secret Service and Metro Police actively investigating
The fact that someone could assemble a long gun from a bag inside the venue, in a room with no security, before charging the ballroom is a massive security failure that's going to define every conversation tomorrow.

No.
But he did ask for the show to go back on, after allegedly being shot at, on a night when he knew every bit of news coverage would be there…
And the FBI director was randomly in the audience…
And his Press Secretary said everyone “needed to watch tonight” because “shots will be fired”
And the gunman supposedly “rushed the metal detectors” and “shot at secret service in the lobby”
But they didn’t even evac the President from the building they just moved him to another room…
And then the President tweeted about the fact he was just in the other room and wanted the show to go on….
….its a lot of coincidences and oddities to reconcile here..
🚨 JUST NOW: Karoline Leavitt calls on everyone to watch tonight because Donald Trump will bring the heat and there will be “shots fired”
LET’S FREAKING GO 🔥
The Islamic Republic of Iran has announced new rules for the Strait of Hormuz: vessels that pay faster for security services and comply with protocols will get priority crossing. Others will be forced to face delays.
