Voting Rights Act - Section 2 gutted
On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Louisiana v. Callais, effectively gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) by severely weakening protections against racial gerrymandering and discriminatory voting maps. The decision mandates a higher burden of proof for voting discrimination, making it harder to challenge maps.

White House Press Correspondents Dinner
Background: Allen is a resident of Torrance, California, described as a tutor and computer programmer who worked for C2 Education. He holds a master's degree in computer science from California State University-Dominguez Hills.
Actions: He is accused of attempting to breach a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton hotel on April 25, 2026, while armed.
Weapons: Authorities recovered a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, a Rock Island Armory 1911 .38-caliber pistol, and three knives.
Premeditation: Investigators found that Allen traveled by train from Los Angeles to Washington D.C., checking into the hotel on April 24. Minutes before the attack, he sent a note to his family outlining his intent to target administration officials.

Was this staged? Inconsistencies in CCTV footage appear tampered.
