Today’s Headlines: Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where one attendee was killed, and two others were injured. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service. Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter, died protecting his family. The FBI is investigating the incident as domestic terrorism. Crooks was a registered Republican who had donated to a progressive project in 2021 and was described as a bullied loner. President Biden condemned the violence and ordered a security review. Despite the attack, Trump's security plans for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee remain unchanged. Meta will soon lift restrictions on Trump's social media accounts. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has made a sizable donation to America PAC, supporting Trump's reelection efforts.
