## Resource

Is political power derived from the ballot box, or is it decided in a smoke-filled room in Washington DC? A question from the 1960s that rears its ugly head in 2026. We're in Memphis, as black voters see their vote diluted ahead of pivotal midterms. Plus, the suspect in the White House correspondents' dinner shooting pleads not guilty. We're also at the courthouse where he appeared in Washington DC. And James Matthews checks in from Beijing. He's there ahead of a massive Xi-Trump state visit this week.
