I wish I were exaggerating with you today, but I am not. Did Donald Trump and the Supreme Court just hand Republicans a roadmap to steal elections? The answer may be yes. A major voting rights ruling dropped from the Supreme Court, and within an hour, Republicans were already trying to redraw maps to lock in more seats. They know they can't win by winning the will of the voters, so they're gonna try to win with techniques and tactics that are on the edges of the law, and would've been illegal, by the way, until the Supreme Court decision. We're also going to talk about a very blunt warning from the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, who Trump wants gone, who says gas prices are a problem, tariffs are a problem, growth is gonna be affected, and by the way, inflation is creeping up. Meanwhile, there's a key detail in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting that is increasingly in doubt. Officials still cannot say who fired their guns, and it increasingly seems like it may not have been the shooter. And finally, you've gotta see this. A senior Pentagon official was asked a very simple question. "Do you have Signal on your phone? Do you, do you use the encrypted messaging app for official business?" And he froze, and you can see the look on his face as he realizes this is not going to go well. All of that and more today.
