Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto via AP Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Iran has prepared “new cards on the battlefield” as Wednesday’s ceasefire deadline looms. On Monday, President Donald Trump criticized the “Fake News” claims that he is under “pressure” to make a “Deal” with Iran, writing on Truth Social that “THIS IS NOT TRUE” although a ceasefire will happen “relatively quickly!” In a second post shortly after, he declared that the U.S. is winning the war with Iran “BY A LOT,” contrary to “Fake News” reports. “The enemy is confused, because they get these same Media ‘reports,’ and yet they realize their Navy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their former leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a ‘DEAL,’ is absolutely destroying Iran,” he wrote. “They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run. The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge!” A few hours later, Ghalibaf took to X to slam Trump’s blockade and warn that Iran will not “accept negotiations under the shadow of threat.” “Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, seeks, in his view, to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering,” he wrote in his post, translated by NBC News. “We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threat, and over the past 2 weeks we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield.”The post Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Warns Iran Has ‘New Cards’ To Play Against U.S. first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via social media Chuck Todd, the former Meet the Press moderator and longtime political reporter, turned independent journalist and pundit, warned critics of President Donald Trump not to celebrate his perceived failures over the war in Iran, arguing that the country will “be paying a price for this for a long time.” “You know, I don’t care what you know, some people who are not Trump fans are like happy about this — we shouldn’t be happy about this. This is a disaster. He has screwed up this country and our foreign policy for decades, and we’re going to be paying a price for this for a long time,” Todd said in a Monday conversation with former CNN political writer Chris Cillizza. “Some of it might be at the gas pump, some of it’s going to be in bad trade relations, some of it is going to be the Gulf States deciding they can’t trust us anymore,” Todd continued, adding: This is going to have such a long tail of bad. What I don’t want to see out there is people ecstatic that Trump’s — that everybody’s finally noticing he’s a bad president or something. I agree. This is nothing to be excited about. This is a disaster and he’s our current commander in chief, and he screwed this up ten ways from Sunday. Cillizza agreed, “Well said, and look, I sometimes lose sight of this right, because I’m so focused on the politics, but we still have people in harm’s way, too. I mean, it’s not just a conflict being fought by drones, so there’s that too.” The conversation came a day after NBC News dropped a devastating new poll showing that 70% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling the war in Iran and inflation. The poll also registered Trump at only a 37% approval rating.

Dan Abrams argued on his radio show Monday that FBI Director Kash Patel won’t get a single penny from the $250 million defamation lawsuit he filed against The Atlantic, days after the outlet reported he had “alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.” Abrams, the founder of Mediaite and chief legal analyst for ABC News, discussed the case on his SiriusXM show and called his shot — saying there’s no chance Patel ultimately prevails. “I’m going to make a bold prediction here: this lawsuit will never make it to trial, and The Atlantic will never have to pay a penny,” Abrams said. “That’s my opinion. That’s my prediction. To be very clear — legally, I’m allowed to have my opinion. I’m not stating that as a fact, I’m saying that’s my guess.” He then made his case. Abrams started off by pointing to two quick reasons he believes Atlantic staff writer Sarah Fitzpatrick is in the clear: “a) she’s got a long reputation and b) she obviously has a lot of sources here.” “Here’s why it won’t make it to trial,” he continued, “is because the discovery associated with it would require Patel to turn over all sorts of documents and material that he’s not going to want to turn over.” Abrams shared his take hours after Patel’s lawyers accused The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick of publishing “a sweeping, malicious, and defamatory hit piece” and claimed that the allegations in the article were “false,” “obviously fabricated,” and “designed to destroy Director Patel’s reputation and drive him from office.” The April 17 article was titled, “The FBI Director Is MIA.” Fitzpatrick wrote “more than two dozen” unnamed “witnesses” claimed Patel had been engaged in “bouts of excessive drinking” and “unexplained absences,” which “often alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice.” “Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication,” the report continued.“Early in his tenure, meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights, six current and former officials and others familiar with Patel’s schedule told me.” Abrams read from the report on Monday, including sections where colleagues said they believed Patel is a threat to public safety and is often unreachable.… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Apple C.E.O.s Through the Years: From Michael Scott (Not That One) to John Ternu...Apple’s corner office has been a seat from which executives like Steve Jobs changed how we interact with technology.

- Fetterman Gets Stunning Rejection from His Fellow Pennsylvania-Based Congression...
Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images To say Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has few friends among Pennsylvania House Democrats would be inaccurate. The truth is, he has none, according to a report by Max Cohen at Punchbowl News. The 6’8″ hoodie-clad former Pennsylvania lieutenant governor was elected to the Senate in 2022, surviving both a stroke and a rough general election battle against Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump. Fetterman’s tenure in the Senate has been notable for a series of public breaks with the Democrats over issues like Israel, immigration, and tariffs. He has expressed more openness to supporting several of Trump’s nominees than most Democrats, breaking with his party to vote with the Republicans. Over the past few years, Fetterman has also racked up several friendly appearances with Fox News hosts and other conservative media personalities — while the innovation of his name draws boos in liberal circles. Chatter has been circulating for months that Pennsylvania Democrats would seek to oust Fetterman in the 2028 primary, when he’s up for re-election; polling shows he is very vulnerable to a primary challenger as his support among Democrats has essentially collapsed. Meanwhile, the state GOP party chair told local media earlier this month that they were keeping an eye out for Fetterman switching parties, despite the senator’s repeated insistence he would not do so. In fact, he has burned so many bridges within his own party, “[n]ot a single Pennsylvania House Democrat in the delegation will say Fetterman should run for reelection as a Democrat,” wrote Cohen on Monday. Punchbowl News reached out to the Democrats among Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation to see if any “would offer support” for Fetterman’s name being on the 2028 ballot again with a D by his name. “No one would,” wrote Cohen. Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) said he’d “be very surprised” if Fetterman ran in the 2028 Democratic primary and Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) highlighted the “serious disagreements” he had with Fetterman over the Iran war; there’s speculation that both congressmen are considering running for the senate seat themselves, Cohen noted. Most avoided directly saying Fetterman shouldn’t run but did express their views that Democratic primary voters would not be forgiving for his apostasy from the party line. “It’s no secret that I’ve been disappointed with some of his votes and that I’m confused by it,” said Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D- added.… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
