Former President Barack Obama claimed Sunday “details about the motives” of accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Allen were still unknown despite the gunman confessing he was targeting top Trump officials in a raving manifesto.
“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy,” Obama wrote on X Sunday afternoon.
“It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them –
As an American citizen, whenever legislators deploy the ever-flimsy progressive banner of “public safety,” I feel decidedly unsafe.
Newly proposed and enacted legislation targeting 3D printers and CNC machines would impose restrictions more severe than those the Supreme Court rejects for actual guns. In conjunction with restrictions on tools, states would create a category of computer source code illegal to possess.

Washington bill 2321 would require machines to “handshake” a government website to confirm code as innocent before initiating a print. New York lawmakers are going farther, considering background checks to purchase a 3D printer.

Baton Rouge officials shared a big update on Friday in the investigation of the deadly mass shooting at the Mall of Louisiana. A teenager has been arrested, and another unknown person is wanted.
Gunshots rang out from the food court at 1:22 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
“The BRPD officer assigned to the mall and an East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputy were in the area,” Baton Rouge Police Chief Thomas Morse Junior said in a press conference Friday.

A top Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan is being accused of hiding half a million in campaign spending in a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint filed by the Democrat-aligned PAC Defend the Vote (DTV).
Michigan Democratic state Senator Mallory McMorrow — considered a leading contender for the party’s US Senate nomination in the state — did not disclose over $500,000 “of campaign expenditures on paid fundraising ads that ran on Meta platforms in her FEC report filed for the first quarter of 2026,” according to DTV’s press release on the complaint.
“State Sen. Mallory McMorrow’s campaign has placed up to $773,904 of advertising on the platform Meta without disclosing
The president previously called Jeffries a "low IQ person" on Tuesday and said he was always ranting about the war in Iran. MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell asked the House Minority Leader to respond to the president's comments.
"Well, it’s an extraordinary insult, but he continues to repeat it. And what’s so ironic is that Donald Trump is clearly the dumbest person ever to sit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Jeffries said.
Jeffries said Trump and Republicans have failed America. "But most importantly, Lawrence, this guy and Republicans have completely and totally failed America. They failed on the economy, failed on healthcare, failed on immigration enforcement," he said.
Michigan Democrats had to choose between a Hezbollah-sympathizing radical and a perfectly respectable former Barack Obama attorney.
Given the drift of their party, it wasn’t a difficult choice — it was the virulently anti-Israel extremist all the way. At their convention over the weekend, Democrats selected Amir Makled as their nominee for a seat on the University of Michigan Board of Regents.
A Dearborn, Mich., lawyer, Makled represented pro-Hamas student demonstrators, called for the university to divest from Israel and expressed great respect for anti-Israel terrorists in social media posts.
He reposted X items referring to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a “martyr” after he was killed in an Israeli strike.

A violent “group of juveniles” allegedly chased a Philadelphia college student across campus and into a residence hall before beating him in a vicious, caught-on-video attack.
The assault happened around 2:50 a.m. Sunday at Temple University, when the teens chased the student into the Morgan Hall South dorm, according to the Temple University Police Department.
“Once inside, the group struck the student and damaged university property,” police said.
The unidentified student sustained minor injuries in the attack and declined medical treatment at the scene.
The damage caused inside the residence hall by the thugs included a smashed monitor at the security desk, ABC6 reported.
Hungarian legislation shielding minors from exposure to LGBTQI+ dogma violates European Union (E.U.) law and hurts respect for human rights and equality, the bloc’s court ruled Tuesday.
The European Court of Justice said Hungary’s legislation, first proposed in 2021 by the government of outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, “stigmatizes and marginalizes” LGBTQI+ persons and their feelings, and fails to uphold the E.U.’s prohibition of discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation, AP reports.
Hungary’s law specifically prohibited the display of content to minors that depicts homosexuality or gender change, while also providing harsher penalties for crimes of pedophilia, and had been challenged for some time by the E.U. and its courts.

Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday repeatedly refused to tell The Post why she won’t release her tax returns like other top Democrats in the state did earlier in the week.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have made income tax returns available for review by reporters, but James is refusing to do so — even as she fights back allegations she falsified information on mortgage applications.
The Empire State’s AG bizarrely claimed that the decision to release her own tax return was up to her staff.
“They will make that determination,” a perturbed James repeatedly told The Post

President Trump on Sunday evening blasted ’60 Minutes’ anchor Norah O’Donnell for reading portions of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter’s manifesto.
A heavily armed man stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton Saturday night, sprinted past a Secret Service checkpoint and shot at a Secret Service agent.
The shooter, identified as Cole Allen, 31, of Torrence, California, was taken into custody and charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
On Sunday it was revealed that Cole Allen wrote a manifesto and expressed his hatred for “pedophile, rapist” Trump.
Former President Barack Obama claimed Sunday “details about the motives” of accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Allen were still unknown despite the gunman confessing he was targeting top Trump officials in a raving manifesto.

The growing numbers of Muslims in the United Kingdom, along with their organized and issue-driven politics, has made them an increasingly consequential – if not outsizes – part of the country's electorate – representing new challenges for Prime Minister Keir Starmer's center-left government and efforts to maintain a unified stance on key issues.
Recent elections have shown the country's estimated 4 million people, or roughly 6.5% of the country's overall population, have been enough to determine electoral outcomes in specific districts and nudge national parties to re-calibrate their platforms.
WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump savagely criticized ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel as a “coward” Monday after he referred to her as “an expectant widow” two days before Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” Trump, 56, wrote in a post on X. The comic is facing severe backlash after the attack on the gala dinner, in which a Secret Service agent suffered minor injuries after a gunman charged a checkpoint
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) attacked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt for criticizing Democrats for their violent rhetoric after a shooting took place in the vicinity of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
During a press conference on Monday, Jeffries labeled Leavitt a “stone-cold liar,” and accused her of reading “talking points” and being critical of words Democrats had said.
“I know you said you stand by your comment, but at the same time you have been a subject of threats as well, so, with respect to this comment about maximum warfare, even if it’s about redistricting, why not tone down the language

WASHINGTON — The suspected White House Correspondents Dinner shooter Cole Allen was charged with trying to assassinate President Trump on Saturday night — as he made a defiant first appearance in court.
The 31-year-old accused madman spoke loudly and confidently answering a judge’s questions in federal court in Washington, DC, as he was hit with the charges of attempted assassination of the president, transportation of a firearm across state lines to commit a felony and discharging a gun.
He faces life in prison if convicted of the top charge.
Allen — who walked into the courtroom unshackled with a somber look and wearing a blue jail jumpsuit — answered
There were a lot of reactions to the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.
Some rose to the occasion, as President Donald Trump himself did, trying to reassure everyone and making sure people were okay.
Some, like unhinged Trump haters, did not, calling it "staged" or "false flag." Some had ridiculous takes, like Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-8), who asked, "What rhetoric?" when asked about the rhetoric Democrats have leveled against Trump for the past ten years. Then there was Barack Obama. What he posted late Sunday afternoon about the shooting was rather incredible. (X) Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind
During a press conference held shortly after an armed gunman ran through a security barrier at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with the obvious intention of shooting President Trump and other members of his administration, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked this question: “Respectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?” Trump answered, “The people who do the most, the people who have the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after.” And by “they,” Trump meant Democrats. He has, for obvious reasons, studied presidential assassinations and knows that all but one of the victims were Republicans.
It happened again: a deranged leftist, Cole Allen, fueled by hate, came too close to assassinating President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night.
Allen, who lives in Torrance, California, is a 31-year-old teacher and video game developer. He charged at the security checkpoint, right outside the ballroom. Before being tackled, Allen fired shots, hitting one Secret Service agent, who will make a full recovery because he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Ironically, the dinner was held at the Washington Hilton, where President Ronald Reagan was seriously wounded by John Hinckley, Jr. on March 30, 1981.
Allen is believed to have traveled to Washington, D.C. by train
The latest controversy hovering over liberal comedian Jimmy Kimmel is leaving a sour taste among those in ABC's orbit. Kimmel is under fire yet again, this time for a poorly-timed joke he made targeting President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump just two days before Saturday's shocking assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) Dinner, where the Trumps and nearly the entire Cabinet were located.
On his own program, the late-night host depicted his own version of the WHCA Dinner where he emceed the annual gala, and leveled several jabs at both the president and first lady.

Americans have always dreamt of a national come-together moment when all felt unified in purpose and intent. But, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, unity among America’s many factions and demographics has been elusive since the start of this decade.
Each month, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asks Americans across the nation whether they would say the U.S. is “very united,” “somewhat united,” “somewhat divided,” “very divided,” or simply “not sure.”
From this, I&I/TIPP creates a national Unity Index, which allows for comparisons over time.

The law enforcement reaction to the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting is getting a lot of scrutiny.
One of the questions many seemed to have was: why was Vice President JD Vance rushed out of the room before President Donald Trump was? You can see that here, in a post from Fox's Jacqui Heinrich. [Tweet, video]
Here's what White House correspondent for Diario ABC, David Alandete, said about the events. [Tweet, video]
I was right there. I saw everything.
The reason JD Vance left earlier through a different door from Trump's is that he was alone.
