President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday night after a shooter was reportedly killed by Secret Service at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, praising law enforcement and suggesting the event continue.

"Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely," Trump wrote, saying the shooter had been "apprehended." Multiple reports had indicated the shooter was shot dead by Secret Service agents in the hotel lobby. The FBI later confirmed a subject was taken into custody.

Columnist Maureen Dowd has a message for Donald Trump: You went hunting for a quick win in Iran and ended up the prey.

In a blistering Saturday column for the New York Times, the veteran columnist compared Trump's Iran adventure to the classic O. Henry short story "The Ransom of Red Chief," in which two bumbling kidnappers are so tormented by their captive that they end up paying to give him back.

Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner marks a notable departure from recent years, as President Donald Trump was expected to attend, and perhaps the world's most famous mentalist will be hosting.

The dinner kicks off at 8 p.m. ET, with C-SPAN's red carpet coverage beginning at 6 p.m.

President Donald Trump posted what appears to be an AI-generated image to Truth Social on Saturday morning, comparing the Reflecting Pool under Barack Obama to its appearance under his administration — but the internet immediately spotted a problem: both photos have the same clouds.

The side-by-side image, labeled "Hussein Obama" vs "Trump," racked up 22,400 likes and 5,240 ReTruths within hours. But the responses were swift and brutal, with users across the political spectrum pointing out the telltale sign of AI manipulation.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Saturday to blast the New York Times over its coverage of Lafayette Park's renovation after the paper reviewed documents that tell a very different story than the one he has sold.

Trump claimed the park had been "left in disarray after decades of neglect" and that he made "a multimillion contribution" to the fountain repairs, praising the project as coming in "under budget."

President Donald Trump triggered outrage when he fired what House Science Committee Democratic staff described as the entirety of the independent board overseeing the nation's premier basic science funding agency on Friday, sending boilerplate termination emails that offered no explanation and no warning.

Members of the National Science Board, which helps govern the $9 billion National Science Foundation, received messages from the Presidential Personnel Office simply stating their positions were "terminated, effective immediately," The Washington Post reported Saturday. The foundation funds Antarctic research stations, telescopes, research vessels, and the basic science behind MRIs, cellphones, and LASIK eye surgery.
