- Anderson Cooper Goes Hard at Trump After President Attacks Kaitlin Collins: ‘T...
CNN host Anderson Cooper went hard at President Donald Trump on Wednesday after his latest verbal assault on Kaitlin Collins in the Oval Office. Trump was answering press questions when he changed direction mid-answer to go after Collins while she stood feet away. The president was asked why he “decided to drop the Anti-Weaponization fund” that the Department of Justice set up after the president settled a $10 billion lawsuit he had brought against the IRS. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche claimed at a hearing on Tuesday that the department was “not moving forward” with the fund. “So, I love it. I think it’s so important,” said Trump of the fund, before describing weaponization he believed was perpetrated against his supporters and himself, calling it “fake and corrupt.” He then suddenly called out Collins, calling her a “young, beautiful woman” who has “hatred in her eyes.” “Some of you will believe it, like CNN will believe is because they knew what was going on. They’re crooked as hell. CNN’s a very corrupt organization, but– with a corrupt reporter standing right there. Never smiles. You never-, she’s a young, beautiful woman. Never smiles. I never see a smile on her face; I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes,” he said. “She has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted.” Cooper, after playing a clip of the moment, called out the president for his comments, going on to play a compilation of Trump’s comments to female reporters. COOPER: I’m not asking Kaitlan about this because she’s got actual work to do, and she doesn’t need to be answering questions about this kind of behavior. That’s the president of the United States, a nearly eighty year old man who has no problem commenting on her physical appearance and telling her she needs to smile. That doesn’t happen to men. No one’s ever said that to me in an office setting. She was there, like every other journalist doing her job, standing around with a bunch of non-smiling men, by the way, all behind her. I don’t know if you saw that. She gets singled out. Now, this, of course, is not the first time the president has focused on professional female reporters, Kaitlan included.

Screenshot via TMZ. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had some harsh words Wednesday for her fellow House Republican, Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), lambasting him for his mysterious months-long absence as the GOP clings to a razor-thin majority. Kean’s father Tom Kean was governor of New Jersey from 1982 to 1990, and now the 57-year-old son represents the state’s 7th congressional district after years in the state legislature. The younger Kean found himself in headlines after he stopped showing up for work, last showing up to vote in early March. Kean issued a vague statement saying he was dealing with an unnamed “medical issue.” The New Jersey Globe reported a phone interview with Kean on May 21 in which he insisted he was running for re-election, would return to work and campaigning “in the next couple of weeks,” and that “my doctors are confident that I’m on the road to a full recovery.” On Monday, President Donald Trump included Kean in a spate of endorsements he posted on his Truth Social account. But as Kean’s absence has dragged on without any announced end date, it’s sparked growing stress among his GOP colleagues, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) can scarcely spare a single vote to get bills passed as it is. NJ-7 is also viewed as a swing seat, and Republicans worry Kean’s MIA status is creating easy campaign fodder for Democrats. Boebert pulled no punches on Wednesday when a TMZ reporter asked her about Kean’s ongoing absenteeism and if she wanted him back in Congress. Rep. Lauren Boebert is outraged that fellow Republican representative, Tom Kean Jr., hasn't voted in the Capitol and hasn't been seen since March due to "health issues." "We're supposed to be the party campaigning against working in the basement." pic.twitter.com/1bEDfmW6Xp — TMZ (@TMZ) June 3, 2026 “Where is he?” an incensed Boebert demanded to know. “No, seriously. It’s embarrassing. We’re supposed to be the party that is against campaigning from the basement.” “I don’t know where this guy is,” she continued. “I haven’t heard from him. I’ve heard people cover for him.” The Colorado congresswoman was dismissive of his utility in maintaining the GOP House majority. “I mean, sure, we need a majority, but under these circumstances?” Boebert pointed out that she had “worked my ass off to get re-elected and serve the people of my district,” but “this guy hasn’t been… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Chaos Ensues on House Floor as Republican Accuses Rashida Tlaib of Supporting Te...
Screenshot via X/@AndrewSolender Chaos ensued on the House floor on Wednesday after Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) accused Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) of supporting terrorism, claiming she liked to “hang out with” members of Hezbollah. House members were in the midst of a floor debate on Tlaib’s resolution to limit U.S. support for Israel’s war in Lebanon, when proceedings were abruptly halted due to Miller’s remark. The congressman was in the midst of arguing that Democratic opposition to the war in Lebanon was not based on concern for the welfare of the Lebanese people. “While I can appreciate the passion from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, I do not appreciate their lack of education and understanding of what is really going on there,” he said. “Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, the gentle lady from Michigan, and its members are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent.” Tlaib protested instantly, asking Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA), who was presiding over the House, to strike the words from the record. “Oh, I’m sorry, are we getting a little emotional?” shot back Miller. Obernolte suspended Miller’s time to hear Tlaib’s objection. “I’m hanging out with terrorists now?” shouted Tlaib across the chamber. Miller replied as Obernolte called for order: “I certainly believe you advocate for them, yes. You advocate for terrorists on a daily basis.” The congressman continued to claim that Tlaib supports terrorists, while Tlaib continued to call for the words to be struck, and Obernolte continued to call for order – all doing so simultaneously. “That is a direct attack on my character,” said Tlaib, when given the floor. “Please, request a motion to strike the words down.” The moment triggered around 45 minutes of paused proceedings, according to Axios reporter Andrew Solender, and back-and-forth over Miller’s refusal to agree to have his words stricken from the record. A chaotic exchange grinds House floor debate on Lebanon war powers to a halt.

Hunter Biden took issue with Jake Tapper on Wednesday and accused the CNN host of “attacking my Mom,” former First Lady Jill Biden. On Tuesday, CNN.com published an analysis/book review by Tapper about Jill Biden’s new memoir, View from the East Wing, which Tapper panned as a blinkered, if not “downright false” assessment of the cognitive state of her husband, Joe Biden, heading into the 2024 presidential election. Tapper opened his piece by quoting from the former First Lady’s memoir: “If you knew Joe Biden well, you’d know that if he actually got to the point where he wasn’t capable of doing the job, he would step down,” former first lady Jill Biden writes in her new memoir “View from the East Wing.” “Certainly, if he exhibited cognitive impairment, I would not hesitate to say so. His staff would not hesitate to say so. But he was nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024.” All of that is very difficult to believe, if not just downright false. First of all, this nation’s history is full of examples of politicians who considered themselves selfless and self-aware who refused to give up power, former President Joe Biden just being the most glaring example. The CNN host took particular issue with Jill Biden’s claim that her husband “nowhere near” had “cognitive impairment” in the summer of 2024. “Why the specific assertion that he was “nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024”? Tapper wrote. “How about the fall of 2024? How about 2025? How about today?” He went on to rebut the former First Lady’s emphasis on her husband’s commitment to “his values, the same ones I grew up with.” “The issue was never about whether he was good, wise, or had the same values,” Tapper responded. “It was about his ability to run for president, to win the campaign, and to serve as president.” In response, Hunter Biden wrote a post on X, accusing Tapper of being “focused on attacking my Mom”: So let me get this straight.

Screenshot via TMZ. Liberal anti-war organization Code Pink provided a video clip to TMZ showing an incident in which Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) claims one of their members “smacked” her on the arm. During an interview Wednesday with TMZ’s Jacob Wasserman and in several tweets she posted, Luna said she was followed out of the Rayburn House Office Building by the Code Pink “head person here in DC” and that the woman “smacked” her. “I will be filing charges,” Luna added. The head honcho of Code Pink here on Capitol Hill decided to try to harass me as I was leaving my hearing with Rubio and smacked my arm. I have no issues answering questions but the moment you touch me you cross a line. — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) June 3, 2026 After I questioned Secretary Rubio on Code Pink and their ties to the CCP, their organization followed me out, berated me, and then their head person here in DC smacked me. I will be filing charges. — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) June 3, 2026 She also called for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to “ban” the group from the Capitol. I have asked the Speaker to ban Code Pink. I was just physically hit by their head organizer. This is right after I questioned Secretary Rubio about them. It is time Speaker Johnson ban them. — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) June 3, 2026 In the interview with Wasserman, the TMZ reporter asked her if she could “re-enact how you were hit.” “I was literally walking, trying to walk away from this person, and they smacked me,” said Luna. “In what part of the body?” Wasserman asked. “They smacked my arm,” said Luna. “Smacked your arm,” said Wasserman. “Are you injured right now?” “I mean, look, either way, if you don’t touch anyone — especially if you don’t like what they’re saying — you cannot physically harm someone,” Luna replied. “You can’t hit them. You can’t block people from being able to vote. And so what I will say is I have filed charges. There’s footage of this. They have multiple angles of this, and multiple witnesses. We have people that filed statements as well, and I think she’s going to be getting in a lot of trouble. You cannot do that to people.” Later Wednesday,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
