Correspondents' Dinner Shooting, Iran Strikes a US Warship, and SCOTUS Guts the Voting Rights Act

Nick is back from Spain and joined by Rick to catch up on two weeks of political chaos. They open on the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting: Pirro's confirmation that Cole Allen's bullet hit a Secret Service agent, and Trump's bizarre pivot to pushing his $400 million ballroom within hours of the attack. Then to Iran: the 60-day War Powers deadline arrives, Hegseth invents a "ceasefire pauses the clock" rule from the witness chair, Trump launches "Project Freedom" in the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian missile strikes a US Navy vessel, and gas hits $4.45 a gallon. Plus the bombshell SCOTUS ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that effectively guts Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and the gerrymandering arms race it's already touched off across the South. Also covered: Janet Mills drops out of the Maine Senate race, clearing the path for Graham Platner vs. Susan Collins; Trump's approval crashes to 37%; the record 75-day DHS shutdown ends with Speaker Johnson folding; the 5th Circuit blocks mifepristone by mail nationwide; and the Senate bans itself from trading prediction markets. We close with Trump's plan to bulldoze a public minigolf course for a marble statue garden of himself, and the Daily Beast investigation into his all-night Truth Social habit (including a midnight AI-generated bikini image at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool).
