- Police Tackle Anti-Bezos Protestor Who Stormed Red Carpet Railing at Met Gala
Screenshot via New York magazine New York police tackled an anti-Bezos protestor at the Met Gala Monday night after he stormed the red carpet railing. Monday’s extravagant event sparked backlash after Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos were named honorary chairs, with a staunch anti-Bezos campaign spreading across New York City. The guerrilla activist group Everyone Hates Elon called for a boycott of this year’s Met Gala, and claimed to have hidden bottles of fake urine around the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the event takes place. It is apparently a nod to allegations that Amazon employees were forced to urinate into bottles due to the grueling job demands. In video footage from the event, an individual, reportedly among the anti-Bezos protestors, sprinted through oncoming Fifth Avenue traffic toward the red carpet railing, where he seems to have leapt over one of two steel barriers before he was jumped on by scores of police officers.

Some initial reports suggest the individual could be Chris Smalls, activist and founder of the Amazon Labor Union, though that has not been confirmed. Smalls was previously detained by Israeli forces in July 2025 when his ship, purportedly carrying aid to Gaza, was intercepted.The post Police Tackle Anti-Bezos Protestor Who Stormed Red Carpet Railing at Met Gala first appeared on Mediaite.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged President Donald Trump to arm the Iranian people so they can attempt to overthrow their government. The U.S. and Israeli war on Iran flared up again on Monday amid a tenuous ceasefire, as the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the vital Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has restricted travel since the war began on Feb. 28. In response, the U.S. has imposed a blockade on Iran. The conflict has sent oil prices soaring, with Brent crude futures hovering around $114 a barrel. The Trump administration’s main goal currently is to get the strait reopened. But Graham, a longtime warhawk, wants the president to revisit the idea of toppling the Islamic Republic. Last week, Trump claimed he sent weapons to Kurdish fighters in the region, but that he does not know what happened to the arms. “I’m not happy with the delivery of the weapons,” Trump said on Friday. “I’m not thrilled with it. But a small amount of weapons were sent, and we’ll see who has them. But I’m not happy with what happened with the Kurds. The Kurds did not deliver the weapons.” The Kurds said they did not receive any such weapons. Appearing on Monday’s Hannity on Fox News, Graham proposed “a Second Amendment solution for the Iranian people.” “If I were President Trump and I were Israel, I would load the Iranian people up with weapons so they can go to the streets armed and turn the tide of battle inside Iran,” the senator said. “We don’t need American boots on the ground. We’ve got millions of boots on the ground in Iran. They just don’t have any weapons. Give them the weapons so they can rise up like we did to destroy this regime. A Second Amendment solution, I think, would go a long way to ending this war.” Host Sean Hannity responded by echoing Trump’s claim. “My understanding is there have been attempts to do so, and they tried to funnel it through groups–” Hannity said. “Do it again,” Graham interjected. “My understanding is, for example, working with the Kurds, they were stealing 90% of the weapons,” the host continued. “Don’t work with the Kurds,” Graham replied. “Work with somebody else. And if you can prove to me the Kurds were stealing the weapons, the Kurds will regret that. I love the idea of empowering the Iranian… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - Ben Stiller Was At The Met Gala — But His Mind Was Somewhere Else

At the time, the DOJ argued that removing the “ultra-low-cost” airline would deprive travelers of options and increase ticket prices. Fox News contributor Tyrus said “mission accomplished” for the Biden administration as there is now one less airline, and therefore less competition. “I’m going to miss Spirit Airlines,” he waxed nostalgic. “I’m going to miss the hours of sitting in the airport watching people behave the way they behave, the fights, the dragging out. You always kind of feel better when you go to get on your Delta—love you guys, millionaire miles—the sad part is she [Elizabeth Warren] was right. Fewer flights, higher fares, mission accomplished. You just don’t get it. They get involved in things they don’t know. I think it’s funny that people who fly private are so concerned about JetBlue and Spirit meether. And they stopped it, and they’re great, and now how many people were stranded? Why do they hate the airports? What happened? Did the airports not give them complimentary water in first class? They don’t want to pay TSA agents. Why does the democratic partner continually go after airports? I don’t think any person who was flying Spirit this weekend, whose flight was c,anceled and you can’t transfer the ticket because it’s gone, was saying, ‘Wow, thanks, Warren.'” Watters agreed with Tyrus on Spirit Airlines’ fate. “I never really liked the idea of a budget airline,” he said. “You’re all the way up in the sky on a budget? They’re basically admitting, yep, we cut some corners, the landing is going to be a little rocky. I don’t know, when I buy a bulletproof vest, I don’t buy a budget bulletproof vest. I might want to pay a little bit more when it’s life and death, but that’s just me. I’m with Tyrus. We are going to miss not only this airline but the segments. … Countless hours of drunks throwing haymakers, twerking in the aisles, people bringing their emotional support squirrels. We can’t even quantify the loss, but I do agree in theory with the Democrats. You want… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
- Poll Shows Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Naming Government Buildings After Tru...
AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin A poll by the Pew Research Center shows that the efforts to rename government buildings after President Donald Trump is overwhelmingly unpopular, even with Republicans. The polling numbers for Trump and the GOP have been brutal as his second term has progressed, with his immigration crackdown cratering his support, the handling of the Epstein files getting abysmal marks, and even Americans’ views on his handling of the economy taking body blows. The president’s recent social media posts and public comments about the Iran war sparked new chatter, with reporters openly asking him about his “mental health” and critics accusing him of advocating for war crimes. Meanwhile, Trump’s name has been added to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts and the Palm Beach International Airport, a proposed commemorative coin, and more. Critics have denounced these moves not just over opposition to Trump’s political position, but have also voiced a distaste for naming anything after someone who is still alive, much less still in office. This latest Pew poll surveyed 5,103 U.S. adults from April 20 through 26, 2026 as part of Pew’s American Trends Panel, including 4,900 who were polled online and 203 who were polled via live telephone calls. The margin of error was +/- 1.6 percentage points. When asked about “naming government buildings after Donald Trump,” only 9% of poll respondents thought that would be acceptable while he was president, 21% said only after he was no longer president, 50% said it was not acceptable, and 19% said not sure. Image via Pew Research Center. Republicans were, as expected, more favorable toward renaming buildings after Trump, but a strong majority still did not think that it was appropriate to do so while he was in office. Only 17% of Republicans said it would be acceptable to name government buildings after Trump while he was still in office and only 33% said it would be acceptable after his presidency ended. Twenty-one percent of Republicans said it would not be acceptable at all, and 31% said not sure. For Democrats, a mere 3% said it was acceptable to name government buildings after Trump while he’s still in office, 11% thought it would be acceptable after he was out, and 77% said it would never be acceptable. Democrats were “far less likely than Republicans to express uncertainty on this question,” Pew noted, with only 9% saying… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
