Chapter 1: What happened during the shooting outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The suspect in Saturday night's shooting outside a formal dinner President Trump and others were attending is being arraigned this afternoon.
Investigators say the defendant, Cole Allen, was carrying a shotgun and other weapons when he stormed past one of the security entry points to the Washington Hilton Ballroom, where the president, vice president and others were attending the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt is linking Saturday's attack to what she calls a left-wing cult.
Those who constantly falsely label and slander the president as a fascist, as a threat to democracy, and compare him to Hitler to score political points are fueling this kind of violence.
Chapter 2: How is the White House responding to the recent shooting incident?
The left-wing cult of hatred against the president and all of those who support him and work for him has gotten multiple people hurt and killed, and it almost did so again this weekend.
Critics have leveled similar accusations against President Trump, citing the spread of misinformation or incendiary rhetoric against Trump's political opponents. Today, King Charles III and Queen Camilla begin a four-day state visit to the United States. It's the first official state visit for anyone in President Trump's second term. But it comes at a tense time for British-American relations.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of King Charles III's state visit to the U.S.?
Here's NPR's Lauren Frayer.
A handful of protesters gathered at the gates of Buckingham Palace wearing masks of King Charles and President Trump. Polls show most Brits oppose the king's U.S. visit, including protester Tom Walker.
It's all part of essentially trying to cozy up, trying to suck up to Trump, or at least trying to avoid angering the man, right?
Prime Minister Keir Starmer tried not to cross Trump and got a favorable U.S. trade deal last year. But Starmer's opposition to the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran has angered the president, who has since insulted the prime minister personally. Trump has spoken of his love of the royals, though, and has said the king's visit might help mend relations.
Chapter 4: What recent Supreme Court ruling affects Texas's congressional map?
Lauren Freyer, NPR News, London.
The U.S. Supreme Court has thrown out a lower court ruling that found Texas's new congressional map likely discriminates against voters of color. NPR's Hunzi Lowong reports the court has already allowed the map to be used for this year's midterm elections.
President Trump pushed Republican state lawmakers in Texas to pass this map of congressional voting districts to help the GOP keep control of the House of Representatives. Last year, a three-judge panel found that the map likely violates the Constitution by discriminating against voters based on their race.
That's because top Republican lawmakers publicly suggested they pass the map to get rid of districts where Black and Latino voters together make up the majority. Now the Supreme Court has reversed that ruling. The court's three liberal justices dissented. The congressional gerrymandering fight that began in Texas continues in other states.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of the lawsuit involving Elon Musk and OpenAI?
Florida's governor is proposing a new Republican-friendly map And Virginia's highest court is hearing a case that will help determine whether a new Democratic-friendly map voters approve can be used. Anzi Luong, NPR News.
This is NPR News. The heads of the Catholic Church and the Church of England held a highly symbolic meeting today. At the Vatican, Pope Leo greeted the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. She's the first woman to serve as spiritual leader of the world's 85 million Anglicans.
A court case is getting underway in California, pitting Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX fame against Sam Altman and ChatGPT's parent company, OpenAI. Jury selection starts today. NPR's John Ruich says the case could have implications for the future of OpenAI.
Musk, Altman, and a handful of others co-founded OpenAI almost a decade ago as a nonprofit organization. They were worried about human-level artificial intelligence being in the hands of for-profit companies, so the idea was to develop advanced AI to benefit humanity. But soon they launched a for-profit arm of OpenAI in order to raise enough money to meet their goals.
Analysts say there was a power struggle over who would control that entity, with Musk on the losing end. In the lawsuit, Musk contends that the for-profit business has taken over and the non-profit mission has been sidelined. He wants the company to return to its founding mission, and he wants Altman out. The trial is expected to last about three weeks. John Rewich, NPR News.
Microsoft and OpenAI are taking another step at relying less on each other. Today, Microsoft said it would no longer pay a share of its revenue to the maker of ChatGPT, and OpenAI will no longer grant Microsoft exclusive rights to license its technology.
