And with the takedown of Cassidy complete, the president quickly turned to another political enemy, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who faces primary voters on Tuesday. Tom Massie of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country, is an even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who suffered an unprecedented loss tonight by not even being allowed to run in the Republican Primary, Trump wrote in a subsequent Truth post.

“I'm walking to an airplane to rejoin the most expensive congressional race in U.S. history,” Massie said as Manriquez approached him for a Q&A. “Yeah, well, it's a referendum, really, unfortunately. It's turned into whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress. And what they found out is that my seat is really expensive. They probably, when this is over, will have spent $20 million and come up short.”

“Last night, I had too much to drink and said some things that don't represent who I really am. I'm sorry and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem,” William Paul posted on social media under the handle TastyBrew1776.

In the May 2025 text exchange between Edwards and the staffer that Axios reviewed, the staffer told the congressman that she did not think dinner was a good idea, given rumors surrounding their interactions. Edwards responded: "It's disappointing to feel something that used to be easy has gotten complicated...I didn't expect outside chatter to change that." The staffer involved, whom Axios will not name due to the sensitive nature of the allegations, declined to discuss her interactions with Edwards when contacted by Axios.

It was a powerful and moving vigil. And tonight thousands of law enforcement families will gather on the National Mall for a candlelight vigil. It's a tradition of Police Week that dates back to 1962 when President Kennedy designated May 15th as Law Enforcement Officers Day. And I'll just add this, guys, when I was standing at that vigil last night and you saw several dozen members of Congress, it struck me, I couldn't count a single Democrat that was there, and it's a shame that you didn't have bipartisan support for something so important like supporting our law enforcement officers.

The viral footage showed McConnell attempting to conclude a Senate hearing, thanking those who'd attended, before a staffer approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder and quietly informing him: Baldwin, Shaheen, and Kennedy still have questions. McConnell then shifted course, telling the room: Yeah, obviously there's not a whole lot of time for a second round, so we'll get through everybody and Senator Murkowski, I'd appreciate your taking over.

Somebody told me there was something floating around on the internet about me accusing President Obama of stealing $120 million or something. I didn't say that. I don't know the basis of it, added the Louisiana Republican, who is a close ally of Trump.

In a recent address to the nation about his decision to strike Iran, Donald Trump declared, “I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God. I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel. And God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.”

Axelrod first brought up the idea of her either running for president or replacing Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in 2028. Ocasio-Cortez responded: You know, it's funny because in this op-ed that Jeff Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was this line that you even mentioned earlier, about, Well, as a potential 2028 contender, X, Y, Z.

Over the course of seven months, we just kinda found these moments where I might be able to do some work, I could take the kids with me, do a road trip, and our motto is, to love America is to see America, said Duffy after the show's trailer played on-air.

Trump falsely claimed that the stock market had hit a new high on Thursday, while the Dow plunged over three hundred points. Trump spoke to press while visiting the Lincoln Memorial to inspect his renovation of the Reflecting Pool. A reporter asked the president about his pause on his operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, asking if he would resume the project due to high gas prices.
