Shots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, from which the president was evacuated; a suspect was charged and pleaded not guilty, and officials later said the president was the likely target. A separate armed man was killed entering the Mar-a-Lago perimeter, gunfire was exchanged near the White House and near the vice-president's motorcade, and the FBI reported foiling a drone-and-sniper plot against an event. A member of Congress was attacked at a town hall in Minneapolis, and a Supreme Court justice described heightened security and threats to the judiciary.

A redistricting contest runs across Texas, Florida, California, Virginia, Utah and South Carolina, with both parties redrawing maps and litigating the results. A Supreme Court ruling narrowing the Voting Rights Act reopened map fights in several states.

It blocked the removal of a Federal Reserve governor while upholding removal power over other agencies, and expanded immigration discretion in TPS and southern-border decisions. Lower courts blocked a mail-ballot order and the defunding of public broadcasters.
