According the poll of 1,500 registered voters, Trump’s job approval sits at 41%, with 57% disapproving, down from 45% approval in January. Notably, the survey also showed that the share of Republicans who say they “strongly approve” of Trump’s job performance had dived from 75% in January to 57% in May.The poll also found Democrats lead Republicans 48% to 40% in a congressional ballot measuring which party is favored to lead the next Congress.The poll was conducted from May 7 to May 18.Trump's Justice Department Scrubs Its Website Of News Releases About Jan. 6 DefendantsWASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, calling the information about the prosecutions “partisan propaganda.”The purge of news releases documenting criminal charges, convictions and sentencings is the latest step by the Trump administration to dramatically rewrite the history of the assault on the Capitol, when hundreds of supporters of Republican President Donald Trump stormed the building in an effort to halt the congressional certification of his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.Trump, on his first day back in office in January 2025, pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes during the Capitol assault, including those convicted of attacking officers with makeshift weapons such as flagpoles, a hockey stick and crutch.Read more: Iran's Top Negotiator Says Tehran Will Not Compromise In Talks With U.S.DUBAI, May 23 (Reuters) - Iran’s top negotiator, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, told Pakistani army chief Asim Munir during talks in Tehran on Saturday that the U.S. was not an honest party in negotiations to end their war and Iran would not compromise on its national rights, state television reported.A regional mediation push led by Pakistan aims to narrow differences between Iran and the U.S. after weeks of war that have left the vital waterway of the Strait of Hormuz closed to most shipping despite a nervous ceasefire, upending global energy markets.Iranian state media reported that Munir had also met President Masoud Pezeshkian in the presence of Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, with whom he had two meetings, before flying out.The talks reportedly centered on a 14-point document proposed by Iran, which it considers the main framework for the discussions, and messages exchanged between the two sides.Read more:Trump Is Still Fuming About Colbert On Social MediaPresident Donald Trump still had Stephen Colbert on his mind Friday evening, even after going on a Truth Social victory lap over the ending of “The Late Show." In an AI-generated video posted to his website, Trump can be seen putting Colbert in a trash can before breaking into a dance while "YMCA" plays. The post came roughly 17 hours after the president made a middle-of-the-night victory lap for bumping the popular Colbert from late night television. “Colbert is finally finished at CBS,” Trump wrote after the conclusion of Colbert's final show. “Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person.”Trump still had more to say on Friday morning, when he wrote: "Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the “Beginning of the End” for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts. Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!"Read more about Trump's embarrassing victory lap.Trump Considering More Strikes On Iran After Peace Talks Stall: ReportsPresident Donald Trump is reportedly considering launching new strikes against Iran as he has become increasingly frustrated about peace negotiations, sources told Axios and CBS News.

Trump on Friday also announced he would miss the wedding of his son, Donald Trump Jr., due to "circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America.""I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time," he wrote.Ilhan Omar Endorses Saikat Chakrabarti In California House Race To Replace Nancy PelosiRep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) endorsed Saikat Chakrabarti in the race to win retiring Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi's California seat on Friday.“I’ve known Saikat for years and know he has the integrity, courage, and principles this moment demands," Omar said. "He will fight for Medicare for All, getting big money out of politics, and fundamentally changing the system. He’s the only candidate in this race not beholden to corporations, the Israel lobby, or careerism. I look forward to working with him in Congress.”Omar is the second member of "The Squad" to endorse Chakrabarti, the former campaign manager and chief of staff for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). The tech millionaire nabbed an endorsement from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) earlier this week.“Honored to earn Rep. Ilhan Omar’s endorsement,” Chakrabarti said in a statement. “I first met her at a time when Trump was attacking her personally on a daily basis, and even then, I never saw her flinch once — Rep. Omar is fearless. She has the determination and resolve to fight for what is right against the greatest of odds, and she has taken huge personal risks in doing so."Ocasio-Cortez hasn't weighed in on the race. Pelosi, meanwhile, endorsed San Francisco lawmaker Connie Chan last week.Chakrabarti and Chan are considered progressives. Polls show them roughly tied and competing for second place in the primary against California state Sen. Scott Wiener. The top two finishers will go on to compete in a November primary.Top Maryland Dem Says State Will Now Redraw Districts To Eliminate Lone Republican Seat: NYTMaryland Democrats now seem poised to redraw the state's political maps in time for the next presidential election after months of disagreements, The New York Times reported Friday.Bill Ferguson, president of the Maryland Senate, previously said he was opposed to redrawing the state's map. He said he changed his mind, however, after the Supreme Court took a hatchet to the Voting Rights Act. “Now, the rules have changed,” Ferguson said in a statement to The New York Times. “The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, and Southern legislatures are already using that ruling to wipe out minority districts. Maryland must respond as the ground shifts under us.”Ferguson said he hopes to convene the Maryland General Assembly after the June 23 primary and draft a ballot initiative to go before voters in November that would alter the state's constitution. Trump Claims ‘A Lot Of People’ Don’t Know There Is A 'B' In 'Dumb'President Donald Trump overexplained his new nickname for Democrats — “Dumocrats” — during his Friday remarks at a New York community college meant to whip up support for Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.).The idea apparently came to him as he watched House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) speak.“And I said, ‘He’s a dumb guy. Wait a minute — he’s a Dumocrat. That’s how I got the name!” the president said.He didn’t stop there.“You take the ‘E’ out, you don’t use the ‘B’ — a lot of people don’t know ‘dumb’ has a ‘B’ in it, actually — but you don’t need it. You discard the ‘B.’ But you take the ‘E’ out, and you replace it with a ‘U,’” he said.He added: “They are Dumacrats. You know why? Because they’re dumb." Protesters Repeatedly Interrupt Trump Rally For Rep. Mike LawlerPresident Donald Trump’s rally for Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) in Suffern, New York, has been interrupted by protesters in three separate incidents.One demonstrator appears to have gotten inside the press pen and was escorted out after loudly and repeatedly booing the president.Another briefly held up a yellow sign before they were immediately swarmed by police, though the sign itself was unintelligible.A third interrupted Trump as he was on an extended and wildly improbable rant about transgender people, claiming that a trans swimmer gave another swimmer “wind burn” because they swam so fast.Trump, as he’s long been accustomed to doing, encouraged the protesters all be dealt with violently, doing so in a wink-and-a-nod fashion.“To [protest] in this crowd is not a good thing. You don’t want to do it in Trump crowds,” he said.“I used to have a lot of that. The first couple of months I’d have people screaming, and they learned it’s just not a good thing to do. It’s sorta dangerous,” he added, chuckling to himself.See All Updates
