Seven weeks into the conflict with Iran, new polling suggests President Donald Trump is struggling to win over the American public - a challenge one Republican strategist described as his “biggest problem.”

A new survey from Politico found that just 38% of Americans back the military strikes, while a majority say the war is not in the national interest. A plurality of respondents also said they are not confident Trump has clear objectives, “including a notable chunk of his 2024 supporters,” according to Politico.

A Democratic congressman on Friday seized on an unlikely source to hammer Donald Trump over his escalating feud with the Pope — Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who urged the president to show some restraint.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, speaking with progressive commentator Brian Tyler Cohen, noted that even one of Trump's most reliable defenders on cable news had seen enough.

President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary tried to walk back his disparaging remarks against children with autism and people with disabilities at his congressional hearing on Friday — but CNN's Jake Tapper had a clip ready to hold him to account.

"Another round of intense questioning for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.," said Tapper. "On Capitol Hill today, lawmakers pressed the Department of Health and Human Services secretary on his promotion of medical misinformation. In one of the most hostile moments from today's hearing, Democratic Congresswoman Lucy McBath of Georgia scolded RFK Jr. about his past remarks on autism, specifically his claim that autism, quote, 'destroys families' and that children with autism 'have no future.'"

A Minnesota prosecutor's decision to criminally charge a federal immigration agent over a road rage incident could mark the first crack in the Trump administration's wall of ICE accountability — and potentially open the floodgates for states across the country to follow suit, Slate's Shirin Ali wrote Friday.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced what she believes are the first felony charges of their kind in the nation against a sitting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. faces two counts of second-degree assault after pointing his weapon at two Minneapolis residents sitting in their car during a traffic dispute in February. He was operating an unmarked vehicle, wearing street clothes and showed no identification.

Caitlyn Jenner spent years championing Donald Trump and his movement, but now she can't leave the country. And the man she backed hasn't responded.

Jenner revealed this week that her passport was returned with a male gender marker after she sent it in for renewal, a direct result of Trump's executive order requiring all federal documents to reflect the biological sex assigned at birth, Entertainment Weekly reported. The change has left the longtime Trump supporter unable to travel internationally, even as her Global Entry, driver's license and pilot's license still reflect her correct gender marker.

A Republican strategist’s reaction during a live CNN broadcast drew laughter after he was pressed on a sharp conservative critique of President Donald Trump

During a segment on CNN Friday, host Kasie Hunt called attention to GOP strategist Brad Todd’s visible discomfort as the discussion turned to Trump’s growing tensions with Pope Leo XIV.

Far-right conspiracy theorist webcaster Alex Jones took to X on Friday to accuse President Donald Trump of deliberately throwing the midterms on behalf of a foreign power.

"This is my response to the new attack President Trump launched on myself and other sane American patriots today. The evidence is overwhelming President Trump is committing political suicide on purpose, and has made a deal to sabotage the midterms," he wrote, accompanied by a 5-minute video manifesto. "America is now under the control of a foreign government."

President Donald Trump said in a phone interview Friday that Iran has “agreed to everything” in ongoing talks with the United States, including allowing the removal of its enriched uranium, according to CBS News.

Trump insisted the effort would not involve U.S. ground troops, but offered few specifics about how the materials would be secured.

President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention practices are so outside of what the law allows that even judges he appointed are freeing immigrants found to have committed serious crimes, and who sometimes have deportation orders against them, because they weren't detained lawfully.

This is on top of the much more public, and outrage-inspiring, cases in which the Trump administration is targeting U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, immigrants who otherwise were following the law, and even military veterans.

Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, drew ridicule Friday when he promised America's growth rate would reach 6 percent under President Donald Trump's leadership.

Lutnick spoke at the Semafor World Economy Summit during a live session in which he acknowledged Trump's war in Iran created "fear and uncertainty." Despite stark warnings of economic catastrophe from chaos surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and Trump's tariffs, Lutnick maintained America's Golden Age is right around the corner.

The new boss of CBS who claimed he was too swamped to face Congress was caught red-handed making time for something far more to his liking — a private dinner with the president whose goodwill he has chased.

Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison, who seized control of CBS last summer, ducked a Senate appearance Wednesday by citing a death in the family. Twenty-four hours later, he took the stage in front of a roomful of movie industry insiders at CinemaCon, the Daily Beast noted Friday.
