(Rod Lamkey/AP photo) President Donald Trump has refused to let go of the notion that the 2020 election was stolen from him, repeating his claim over 100 times in the last six months alone. As Trump contends with a plummeting approval rating, affordability issues, spiking gas prices, and the war in Iran, the president has increasingly expressed defiance in public over his election loss to Joe Biden. A Reuters review published on Tuesday found that in the last six months, Trump has repeated the claim that the 2020 election was stolen at least 107 times, either online, while meeting world leaders, or addressing supporters. “Trump devotes near-daily attention to the issue, a Reuters review of his public events, interviews and online posts found, and his comments often come in waves,” Reuters scribe Bo Erickson writes. “One Saturday in April, amid a fragile ceasefire with Iran, Trump posted allegations about the 2020 election – when he lost to his predecessor Joe Biden – seven times on his Truth Social account.” WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump has repeated his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him at least 107 times in the last six months, keeping the grievance front and center even as he faces new political risks from the war with Iran and looming… — Bo Erickson Reuters (@BoKnowsNews) May 26, 2026 After the 2020 election, Trump’s legal eagles filed over 60 court challenges. All but one were shot down. However, former DOJ special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in the House Judiciary Committee back in December that he had “credible evidence” that Trump “criminally” conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election.The post Trump Has Claimed the 2020 Election Was ‘Stolen’ More Than 100 Times in the Last 6 Months: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

(@RobertFKennedyJr on X) Add another bizarre chapter to the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vs. The Animal Kingdom book. The Health and Human Services secretary showed he is also a full-blown snake handler on Tuesday when he posted a video of himself wrangling two black racers from the patio at Dr. Memhet Oz’s house — as his wife Cheryl Hines anxiously watched. “You are nuts!” Hines told RFK Jr. He just smiled and proudly showed off his catches for the camera; it took him 8 seconds to grab both snakes, which were cornered on a patio. The snakes then got restless and started jumping around as he dangled them, and one of the snakes bit him on the finger. “Honey, honey, let it go,” the “Curb Your Enthusiasm”star pleaded, right as the snake took a bite. “Oh my God!… Bobby, Bobby, please!” RFK Jr. looked at his finger but didn’t appear to be fazed by it.

Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) May 26, 2026 “Are they biting?” Dr. Oz asked. “Yeah,” Kennedy told him. He then started chuckling as the snakes started wigging out again in his hands. The good news for RFK Jr. is those snakes are not poisonous or venomous. The video looked like it was recorded at Dr. Oz’s beachfront mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. looked like he was ready to give a speech at the drop of a hat, donning a light blue dress shirt, blue tie, and blue dress pants. The only sign he was “off duty” was that he grabbed both snakes without shoes on; he was rocking black dress socks. Of course, this isn’t the first story involving RFK Jr. and animals, as anyone who has semi-followed the Trump administration knows. He admitted in 2024 that he put a dead bear cub in Central Park a decade earlier, saying that he plopped the carcass next to a bike to make it look like it was an accident. His daughter also once talked about how RFK Jr. chainsawed a dead whale’s head off when he found it on a Massachusetts beach; he then bungee-corded it to the top of his car and drove it five hours south to New York. ““It was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kick Kennedy said in 2012.… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Fox Anchor Confronts Trump Econ Chief On Low Consumer Sentiment — So He Sugges...
Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo confronted Trump White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett over low consumer sentiment — so Hassett attacked the survey, suggesting it’s rigged. The Iran War has contributed to months of bad inflation numbers, including a Producer Price Index report that sent stocks tumbling earlier this month. President Donald Trump has seen his approval rating on the economy crater in the process, and the Consumer Sentiment index has plummeted as well. On Tuesday morning’s edition of Fox Business Network’s Mornings With Maria, Bartiromo asked Hassett what he would say to consumers to improve their sentiment, and Hassett attacked the survey that measures it: FOX ANCHOR MARIA BARTIROMO: Meanwhile, consumer sentiment fell for the third straight month. In the month of May. It was at a record low of 44.8. The Iran conflict, unnerving people, fueling some worries about inflation as higher costs and elevated oil prices show up in people’s pocketbook. What is the most important messaging that you can put out there for consumers to help sentiment here? NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL DIRECTOR KEVIN HASSETT: Well, they call it consumer sentiment, but I don’t think those words mean what they think they mean anymore. We looked at the political affiliation of the people who are responding, and we found that at the peak of Biden’s stagflation with inflation running out of control, that Democrats in the survey had a sentiment index that was way above 100. Right now they’re at 30-something. And then Republicans have stayed relatively steady throughout. But we find that basically the consumer sentiment indicator at the University of Michigan. It’s just a political survey. And in fact, the correlation between what independents say and Democrats say is 0.8 or 0.9. It is almost exactly, perfectly correlated. So what they have done is they have somehow devised a political survey that tells us how Democrats are feeling about things. If you want to look at how people are thinking, you should go to the conference board consumer confidence. The consumer confidence measure is actually the most reliable thing and right now it’s the highest it’s been in a year.

On Monday, the Pope delivered his first encyclical titled “Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence.” In the document, the Pope acknowledged that AI can be a “valuable tool,” but urged the need for a “measured and viligant” approach to its continued use and development. The pontiff also spoke of the importance of remaining human and not allowing technological advances to replace humanity. The next morning, Fox host Maria Bartiromo brought up the address during an interview with Burgum. “I mean, Secretary, even Pope Leo this weekend issuing a major document Monday focused largely on the implications of the rise of artificial intelligence,” Bartiromo said. “The Pope saying that this technology could make civilization less human. Why is the Pope commenting about AI right now?” In response, Burgum said: Well, I didn’t know that tech editorializing was part of the role of being Pope. But certainly, some of these states that have got very high electricity prices today, and they’ve got high electricity prices today because of the policies they’ve pursued with trying to go with intermittent, unreliable, weather-dependent sources of electricity. We’ve got to get back to base load power to make this whole thing work, but the future is very bright if we can make sure we can get this stuff built. Last week, Burgum criticized the use of solar power at a congressional hearing, claiming the energy source was effectively useless when the sun wasn’t out. Burgum was then mocked when someone mentioned the invention of the battery.

- The Busy Life of a DOE
DOEs must wear many hats. Credit: CreativaImages/Getty Images What are the biggest challenges that directors of engineering are dealing with these days? I had the opportunity to sit down with several DOEs in separate conversations at the spring NAB Show. What I heard sheds light on the real-world impact of the trends we cover in RW throughout the year. For one thing, they’re overworked. You might be tempted to pull out the world’s smallest violin when I say that, but look, cutbacks in engineering staff over many years, combined with the streamlining of engineering roles at the very top, means that these folks bear a great deal of stress that may have little to do with the reasons they got into radio engineering in the first place. Some indeed have been tasked with filling the shoes of highly experienced and nationally visible technology leaders who had mentored them but then left those roles, willingly or otherwise. These engineers now are the ones interacting with the CEOs in a very challenged industry. Those CEOs may in turn have just come out of very stressful interactions of their own with investors, boards of directors or bankers. And you know what they say about stuff flowing downhill. Among major issues weighing on these DOEs is real estate management. (Whose Elmer ever taught them that?) On the RF side, fewer companies own their own steel now, and costs of leasing antenna and tower space keep escalating. With bosses pressing them to find cost savings, lease negotiations with tower owners get more intense, and the pressure builds to find facility moves and opportunities for creative combined transmission facilities. Meanwhile on the studio side, as you know, radio groups continue to downsize their physical footprints in local markets. More and more I hear the phrase, “Our local studio is now just a sales office.” And maybe not even that. One DOE told me, “Our company is reviewing every market lease. And we’re discontinuing some of them.” As a result our industry is turning more and more to distributed workflows. That is an interesting technical story in itself, but it challenges the traditional way of doing radio. “Major-market stations now may be run from a NOC hundreds of miles away,” one leader told me. Meanwhile, big radio enterprises also are now more likely to contract out key administrative functions to offshore resources. These might include traffic, accounting… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - CNN Doctor Flat-Out Says Trump Has ‘Severe Daytime Somnolence’ in Stunning O...CNN’s medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner delivered a startling health assessment of President Donald Trump ahead of another physical exam for the commander in chief at Walter Reed Medical Center. Reiner, speaking to CNN anchor Kate Bolduan on Tuesday, began by saying that the American people deserve a “clear understanding” that Trump, who turns 80 next month, is “fit for duty.” He said he would like to see a better explanation for some of Trump’s “visible health concerns,” including the bruising on his hands, which the White House has tried to explain away as a result of frequent handshakes, and swollen ankles. Reiner then brought up Trump’s apparent inability to stay awake during some events, and offered a diagnosis, one that he called “severe.” “The president has severe daytime somnolence,” he said. “He falls asleep very often. He’s fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him in the cabinet room, and there was concern yesterday that he might have fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day observances.” Daytime somnolence, or hypersomnia, is the uncontrollable urge to fall asleep during the day, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Reiner added that with daytime somnolence comes an increased risk of dementia and heart attacks, lowered cognitive function, and a decline in mental faculties. “It’s a real problem,” he said. “And the president appears to struggle to stay awake during the day. And I’d like to hear what the White House has done to evaluate- why the president has this increased daytime somnolence and what they’re doing to improve that.” “President Trump is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises, and he remains in excellent health,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement to the Associated Press on Tuesday.
