A law enforcement agent was reportedly hospitalized after being shot by a gunman who stormed the entrance to the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night.

CNN's John Berman reported that the shooter injured a law enforcement agent. Fox News host Sean Hannity also reported that a Secret Service agent was shot while the shooter stormed the entrance.

Rep. Gene Wu (D), chair of the Texas State House Democratic Caucus, joined CNN's John Berman from Chicago Monday where he fled to prevent a redistricting vote that could add as many as five Republican congressional seats to his state's political map.

Most of the defiant members have travelled to Democratic-led states, including New York and Massachusetts. The Hill reported that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) "is supporting their effort."

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) threatened to fire Democratic members if they don't return to the Texas House to reconvene by 3 p.m. Monday. ...

Democratic pundit Paul Begala claimed Monday that President Donald Trump has doomed the GOP for the upcoming midterm elections because he failed to get the American people on board with his attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

On CNN Monday, Begala conceded, "Nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Nobody. I mean, nobody."

Begala then argued that Trump "needs to make the case that it was the last option, the only option, and that it worked, and that he has now postured us to defend ourselves. And I know he has not done that. He is running around deporting people at Home Depot instead of engaging in counterterrorism on the homeland."...

CNN's John Berman got into a testy exchange with Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) after the lawmaker skirted his question on regime change in Iran.

"It’s not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???" Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Sunday....

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) confounded CNN host John Berman over his justification for passing President Donald Trump's spending bill after claiming he was against adding to the national debt.

"You just talked about your opposition to deficit spending," Berman said. "The CBO — Congressional Budget Office — just put out figures that this will add $2.4 trillion to the national debt."

Sessions said that the struggle over the "one big beautiful bill" isn't "a perfect battle" for Republicans, but it has to be passed. ...

Pete Seat, a spokesperson for the George W. Bush administration, gave a stunning assessment of President Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar that he wants to convert into a new Air Force One.

Trump made the announcement on Truth Social a day before he was set to head to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates Monday for his first international trip of his second administration.

Seat appeared on CNN News Central Monday morning where anchor John Berman asked for his opinion on the hugely expensive gift from a nation with ties to Iran. ...
