President Donald Trump's latest attempt to revamp America's election system was brutally mocked by political analysts and observers on Monday.

In a short Truth Social tirade, Trump demanded that the Republican Party shift its focus to passing the SAVE Act, which would implement several large-scale changes to how the U.S. conducts elections. For instance, it would place significant limits on mail-in voting and change the documentary requirements for voter registration.

In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the president and some of his closest Senate allies are seizing on the moment to try to do something the polls have foreclosed until now: approve taxpayer funding for the president's White House ballroom project, under the guise it will improve event security.

But even as Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Katie Britt (R-AL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO) introduce legislation for this, it is clear the idea still does not have a viable path in Congress, Semafor reported on Monday.

A legal expert was stunned on Monday by the Supreme Court's latest "truly unusual" order in relation to the Texas legislature's effort to redraw the state's election map.

Steve Vladek, a law professor at Georgetown University, wrote in a new essay for his Substack, "One First," about the Supreme Court's order on Monday to "resolve the merits" of Texas's appeal to a lower court's ruling that prevents the state from using its new election map.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed Monday that Israel may have been involved in the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to influence American foreign policy regarding Iran.

Jones questioned the official narrative, speculating the incident could be "staged" while avoiding definitive claims without evidence.

President Donald Trump revealed a new "sign of weakness" following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, according to a former administration insider.

Trump claimed during an interview on the CBS News show "60 Minutes" on Sunday that he did not fall while Secret Service agents were trying to escort him out of the Washington Hilton, where the shooting occurred.

U.S. District Judge Alan Albright abruptly announced his resignation this month, leaving his colleagues with a huge stack of unresolved casework — and it may be because he was simply miserable in his role as a judge, Ryan Autullo of Bloomberg Law reported on Monday.

Albright, who was appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2018, will be leaving in August.

A former prosecutor and civil rights attorney shredded President Donald Trump's Department of Justice's crusade against a prominent nonprofit during a new podcast episode on Monday.

Melba Pearson, host of "The Breakdown" on Legal AF, said during a new episode that the indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center for wire and bank fraud was "thin on facts." She also noted several areas where the 11-count indictment failed to adequately describe the SPLC's criminal conduct.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Monday the United States is being "humiliated" by Iran and risks becoming trapped in a prolonged conflict similar to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Merz criticized the lack of a convincing American negotiating strategy, noting Iran is negotiating skillfully while the U.S. has no clear exit plan. Adding, Iran's Revolutionary Guards are humiliating an entire nation, according to reporting by DW.

A state judge in Colorado rejected far-right former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters' motion to have him recuse himself from the sentencing process.

President Donald Trump showed the world that his mental and physical decline has become "impossible to ignore" following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, according to one analyst.

In an interview following the shooting, during which no one was killed, Trump said that he "didn't make it easy" on Secret Service agents who tried to rush him away from the Washington Hilton, where the event was being held. Instead, Trump said that he was fighting to stay and figure out what was going on.

CNN's Jake Tapper scorched Kari Lake, who serves as President Donald Trump's senior advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, during his show on Monday for her actions following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

An alleged gunman fired multiple rounds at the Washington Hilton while the press dinner was underway, and was swiftly detained by authorities at the scene. Trump and members of his cabinet, who were in attendance, were on another floor, away from where the shots were fired. A Secret Service agent was struck in their bulletproof vest and survived. No one was killed during the event.

Journalist Ken Klippenstein reported new details about Cole Allen, the California resident accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
