CNN anchor Abby Phillip called BS on President Donald Trump’s latest claims about the Iran War, correcting him on how long it has lasted and snarking that even if he isn’t “keeping track,” Americans are noticing the escalating surge in gas prices. Trump riffed about oil prices and the Iran War at a White House event on Monday, as gas prices ended last week at a national average of $4.45 per gallon. On Monday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip called Trump out for claiming the war has only been going on for “what, six weeks?” and declaring polls on the war “fake”: ABBY PHILLIP: Here’s a sign that we are in America’s Iran war. The president who started it can’t remember how long it’s been going on. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DONALD TRUMP, U.S. PRESIDENT: We have a war right now, and we’re into, like, what, six weeks? They said, what’s taking so long. (END VIDEO CLIP) PHILLIP: Not quite. We are in the tenth week of the war and the third month, with no end in sight, frankly. Donald Trump may not be keeping track, but Americans certainly are via their gas prices. It’s hit another high today. And one expert says that you can expect to see $5 at a pump if the Strait of Hormuz doesn’t open soon. Now, the president is also dismissing how unpopular the war is. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) TRUMP: They give me fake polls. They tell me about polls and this. And, you know, it’s interesting, they did a poll on the war with Iran and they said only 32 percent of the people like it. Well, I don’t like it and I don’t like war at all. They said 32 percent of the people are against President Trump. Well, when you explain it, like is it okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon? It wouldn’t be 32 percent. But even if you said that, there’d be a 32 percent because the polls are fake. I mean, they’re totally fake. (END VIDEO CLIP) PHILLIP: For the reality, at the start of the war, Americans were pretty evenly divided in their support for the conflict, but now, 61 percent say that the campaign in Iran was a mistake, and there is a clear generational gap too. While older Americans are split, 61 percent under the age of 35 opposed the war and 80 percent of those under… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - House Republican’s Ethics Investigation Sparked by His Conduct Toward Female S...
(Makiya Seminera/AP photo) The House Ethics Committee investigation into House Republican Chuck Edwards (NC) was sparked by his behavior toward young female staffers, Axios reported on Monday night. Sources told Axios’s Kate Santaliz that Edwards’ behavior toward at least two staffers in their 20s “crossed professional boundaries and created an uncomfortable work environment.” One staffer in particular allegedly told others in Edwards’ office on several occasions that the congressman made her uncomfortable, according to Axios. The outlet also uncovered that the woman accompanied Edwards on a trip to Las Vegas after she had left his office. Axios also got a hold of a handwritten letter that Edwards allegedly wrote to the staffer, in which he called her an “amazing woman” and said in part, “Your kindness, encouragement, and light-heartedness have written a complex chapter in my heart that I will never stop reading.” The woman, who was not named in the report, declined to be interviewed by Axios. Edwards has been married to his wife Teresa since 1980. Axios reported last week that Edwards was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, but the exact allegations were initially unknown. SCOOP: Sources told @axios they witnessed inappropriate conduct by Rep. Chuck Edwards toward two female staffers in their 20s The interactions included gifts, 1-1 dinners, a Vegas trip and a handwritten letter from Edwards telling a staffer: "I only wish I could explain the joy… — Kate Santaliz (@kate_santaliz) May 4, 2026 Edwards’ office did not respond to requests for comment by Axios, but told the outlet in a statement last week: “I welcome any investigation, given the professionalism my staff has demonstrated and my commitment to serving the people of Western NC. Given the current political environment we are facing in our nation, it comes as no surprise that others with their own political agendas will attempt to raise false accusations in order to create news stories.” Edwards, who represents North Carolina’s 11th District, was elected in November 2022 after defeating Madison Cawthorn in the Republican primary. He filed for reelection last year. Other current and former lawmakers probed by the House Ethics Committee recently include Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), Cory Mills (R-FL), and Nancy Mace (R-SC).The post House Republican’s Ethics Investigation Sparked by His Conduct Toward Female Staffers: Axios first appeared on Mediaite.

Since Trump returned to office, the senator has repeatedly criticized fellow Democratic lawmakers comments toward the administration and broken with the party on some votes. Fetterman himself shrugged off the idea of crossing the aisle. On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, Scarborough admitted that the senator occasionally “aggravated” his party colleagues but dismissed the idea that he would switch as he scolded Democrats for being unable to “figure out” how to deal with a lawmaker who didn’t “march lockstep” on issues like Israel. The host began by recalling his time as a Republican lawmaker and breaking with the party line: “I used to always joke that when I got to Washington, I realized, because I voted against my party occasionally, maybe I voted with them 90%-91% of the time, and man, you would have thought I was a Marxist!” “And I always joked in Washington it’s kind of like The Godfather, you don’t get any credit for being loyal to the family 95% of the time,” he added. Rounding on Democrats, he continued: “But the stupidity, just think about this. I understand Fetterman says things that aggravate Democrats – I totally get it. I look at some of the things he says, and I roll my eyes as well. But he votes with the party 93% of the time! When he becomes a Republican, he would vote against the party probably 93% of the time!” “Democrats need to figure out how to deal with somebody that doesn’t march lockstep with them on Israel and some of these other issues, because we’re actually old enough to remember when there were a lot of Democrats that talked and voted this way, and there were a lot of Republicans that talked and voted like moderate Democrats,” Scarborough argued. “Better to have him inside the tent than outside the tent,” he concluded.

- Washington Post’s Pulitzer Win Spotlights Work of Reporter Raided by FBI
(Alex Brandon/AP photo) Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson, whose home was raided by federal agents earlier this year, was recognized in the newsroom on Monday for reporting that helped win the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize. The Washington Post was awarded the honor for public service for its work on President Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts to the federal government at the outset of his second term, including a focus on the Elon Musk-led DOGE and the impact on federal workers. The coverage prominently featured Natanson’s byline. Pulitzer jurors praised the newsroom for “piercing the veil of secrecy around the Trump administration’s chaotic overhaul of federal agencies and chronicling in rich detail the human impacts of the cuts and the consequences for the country.” John Hudson, covering national security for The Post, shared a video of Natanson’s colleagues applauding her. Bravo to @hannah_natanson, whose Pulitzer Prize reporting overcame an outrageous and chilling FBI raid on her home, a threat to journalism in this country pic.twitter.com/7J2bGBnEDU — John Hudson (@John_Hudson) May 4, 2026 In December, Natanson had described her role covering federal workers as all-consuming, writing in December that it was “brutal” to serve as the paper’s “federal government whisperer,” managing contacts with more than 1,000 sources. Weeks later, in January, FBI agents executed a search warrant at her Virginia home, seizing personal and work devices. Authorities said Natanson was not the target but linked the action to an investigation into a federal contractor accused of mishandling classified materials. The newspaper challenged the move in court, arguing it represents an overreach that risks undermining journalists’ ability to protect sources. Speaking to colleagues after the announcement, Natanson highlighted the collective nature of the work. “For every single tip, there was a colleague able and willing to help,” she said, before thanking sources directly: “You believe that truth matters in a democracy. You trusted that The Washington Post was the right place to report it. With everything I have, I still believe that, too.”The post Washington Post’s Pulitzer Win Spotlights Work of Reporter Raided by FBI first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
