Zohran Mamdani, a candidate in the New York City mayoral race, chose not to add his name to a New York State Assembly resolution last week that marked Israel’s 77th Independence Day. This move follows his earlier refusal to support a resolution denouncing the Holocaust — decisions likely to ignite controversy in a primary where he trails only Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic field.

“My dear friend Joe, with love from Israel, we pray for your full and fast recovery,” President Isaac Herzog tweets amid news that former US president Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer yesterday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to comment.

VP Vance on Biden’s cancer diagnosis: “Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or some time in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.”

WH Press Secretary stated that a member of one of the foreign delegations in the Middle East told her that President Trump’s historic victory “was like the lights turned on in a dark room.”

Stocks are falling today after Moody’s downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating Friday, citing repeated failures to rein in rising debt. The rating was cut from Aaa to Aa1, though Moody’s noted the U.S. still has “exceptional credit strengths” like a strong economy and the dollar’s global role. It’s the last of the three major agencies to issue a downgrade — following S&P in 2011 and Fitch in 2023.

In Khan Yunis, residents are protesting against Hamas, expressing frustration and calling for a ceasefire as IDF military operations escalate.

As you all know,  President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer – but it carries a five-year survival rate of just 30% to 40%.
The cancer has reached an advanced stage, classified with a Gleason score of 9 and Grade Group 5, and has already spread to the bones, according to Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News’ senior medical analyst, during an appearance on Fox Report.
“It’s the most aggressive type,” Siegel said. “That means it has the highest risk of spread — which obviously he has had.”

President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to overhaul how U.S. elections are run includes a somewhat obscure reference to the way votes are counted. Voting equipment, it says, should not use ballots that include “a barcode or quick-response code.” Those few technical words could have a big impact. Voting machines that give all voters a ballot with one of those codes are used in hundreds of counties across 19 states. Three of them — Georgia, South Carolina and Delaware — use the machines statewide. Some computer scientists, Democrats and left-leaning election activists have raised concerns about their use, but those pushing conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election have been the loudest, claiming without evidence that manipulation has already occurred.

Whether it’s a weekend by the lake or a quick city escape, Americans are heading out in record numbers this Memorial Day weekend. AAA expects over 45 million travelers to hit the road or take to the skies — the highest since 2005. Despite flight concerns and economic worries, it’s full speed ahead for the unofficial start of summer.

House Republicans narrowly advanced President Donald Trump’s big tax cuts package out of a key committee during a rare Sunday night vote, but just barely, as conservative holdouts are demanding quicker cuts to Medicaid and green energy programs before giving their full support. Speaker Mike Johnson met with Republican lawmakers shortly before the meeting and acknowledged to reporters that there are still details to “iron out.” He said some changes were being made, but declined to provide details. It’s all setting up a difficult week ahead for the GOP leadership racing toward a Memorial Day deadline, a week away, to pass the package from the House.

The U.S. is offering up to $10 million for information on Hezbollah’s financial networks in South America, where the Iran-backed terror group, responsible for multiple attacks, generates significant revenue from drug trafficking, forgery, counterfeiting, smuggling, and other illicit and legitimate activities.

AND SO IT BEGINS CNN sets the stage for David Axelrod to suggest that discussions about Biden’s cognitive concerns “should be more muted and set aside for now,” given that he’s struggling from prostate cancer.

Rep. Mike Lawler says he wouldn’t approve of an Iran Nuclear deal that didn’t include full denuclearization: “I don’t want to see a JCPOA 2.0, Iran cannot have a nuclear program or civilian capabilities … they can agree diplomatically or face the consequences”
