The initial chaos and drama surrounding the shooter apprehended at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is beginning to clear up and the facts are beginning to emerge.Political partisans will certainly try to make a story out of it, and members of the media who were in the ballroom appeared hysterical while describing the situation, but it appears that Trump nor the media in the ballroom may not have been in as much danger, as the shooter apparently never entered the event area.PoliticusUSA is news and analysis for the people, not the elites.

There was no vote or momentous moment. Nothing was done to mark the occasion. In fact, the death of the Save America Act has gone largely unnoticed. At the time, I wrote about The Daily with Sarah Jones”The Senate voted on a budget resolution, which is the first step in the GOP plan to pass a meager reconciliation bill to fund ICE and the Border Patrol. A procedural vote on a budget resolution in itself is not important, but what this budget resolution vote repelled was very important. When Senate Republicans voted, they closed the door to Trump’s SAVE America…
Democrats are not united in impeaching Trump a third time. Many House Democrats say a third impeachment would be a waste of time that would not result in a conviction or removal from office. Above all, Trump showed he didn’t care about being impeached because there were no consequences. The challenge Democrats face is that as Trump continues to decline, the 25th Amendment is not an option because Vice President Vance and the cabinet will not invoke it, so impeachment may be the only option left, if only to try to remove Donald Trump from office. PoliticusUSA doesn’t feature billionaires,…

The sky is the limit.

The midterm election map is starting to look brutal for Republicans. Virginia voters approved a map that could net Democrats four additional House seats.

Southeast Asian leaders are unlikely to resolve long-standing disputes in the South China Sea at next month’s ASEAN summit, but they could make “incremental progress” toward a code of conduct, or COC, aimed at managing tensions in that area, analysts told Radio Free Asia.The annual summit brings together leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, to discuss regional security and economic issues. China is participating this year as a dialogue partner, and the forum provides an opportunity to address the South China Sea, a persistent hotspot where China’s broad claims overlap with the exclusive economic zones of…
If the mainstream media weren’t so terrified of Trump, the story of how a president in decline is propped up and made functional would make headlines every day.PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent.

The Republicans’ cynical approach to election results is on full display in Virginia. After voters supported redrawing the state’s congressional map to counter Donald Trump’s efforts to rig the 2026 midterm elections, Republicans immediately went court shopping and found a conservative judge in the state who threw out the election and refused to certify the results. Virginia AG Jay Jones vowed to appeal the decision: “My office will immediately appeal to the Court of Appeals. As I said last night, the voters of Virginia have spoken and an activist judge should not have a veto over the people’s vote. We…
