President Trump experienced his third assassination attempt on Saturday when Cole Allen, 31, tried to storm the ballroom at the Washington Hilton, where the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner was being held. He was armed with multiple guns and had written a manifesto listing Trump and his officials as targets. Law enforcement officers stopped him before he could enter the room. The president, Vice President JD Vance, and other top congressional leaders were quickly evacuated from the venue.
The attack could have been devastating, but thankfully, it was not. The Secret Service remains unfunded, as the Department of Homeland Security funding bill has been stuck in legislative limbo for over 70 days, thanks to Democratic Party shenanigans. The Senate passed a reconciliation bill that included DHS funding, and Trump is now urging House Republicans to pass it.

“We need all Republicans to join together and support this Budget Blueprint, which will allow us to bypass Democrat obstruction in the Senate, and fund Immigration Enforcement with only Republican Votes.”
“The Senate passed this Blueprint last week on Thursday morning, and now, House Republicans must UNIFY, and pass the same Blueprint to get the Bill done.”
“I’ve asked for the final Bill on my desk by June 1st, and we can make that deadline if we keep to the plan, FAST and FOCUSED. Let’s take care of our Great Agents of Law Enforcement. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
