For more than a full decade, President Donald Trump has faced biased, misleading, and accusatory questions from the mainstream media at every turn. Most of the time, he’s either brushed it off or hit back with one of his trademark retorts. But when he sat down with NBC News’ Kristen Welker for an interview that aired this weekend, the hostility reached a boiling point, as Deadline reported: As she pressed Trump on evidence for California’s election being rigged, he said, “All I have to do is look.” Welker said, “But sir, that’s not evidence, and that’s how they count the votes in California.” After some more back and forth, Trump said, “They’re crooked just like you’re crooked, your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked.” “To be fair, I’m not crooked. But let’s continue,” Welker responded. Yet Trump’s irritation only grew. “Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked.” As he went on, Welker tried to get a word in. The president said, “You’re a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.” He then took off his microphone. While a breathless mainstream media feigned outrage over his abrupt ending to the interview, many of those who watched what led up to it agreed that his decision was appropriate: She repeated the same "there's no evidence" lie over and over. There is in fact evidence. Overwhelming evidence. — Ignatius J Reilly (@Ign_J_Reilly) June 7, 2026 Blows my mind he keeps giving her any attention..she's one of the worst dishonest hacks.. — AJ (@AjApplegoose) June 7, 2026 fact checks? she hasn’t spent 10 minutes investigating election fraud — Reagan1984 (@reaganbush_1984) June 7, 2026 The New York Post also covered the exchange: Welker pleaded with Trump to continue, recalling how she trekked over to Wisconsin for the interview, but the president was done. “I sat in the rain with you for an hour,” he grumbled. “On and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press,” he added. “A country can never be great with a dishonest press.” After airing that testy exchange, Welker revealed that she spoke with Trump afterward and he agreed to do a follow-up interview with her.

President Trump’s Department of Transportation was already probing Atlanta’s transit system. One day later, gunfire erupted on MARTA during the Friday evening rush. The latest attack happened around 7 p.m. on June 5 at the Midtown MARTA station. A 19-year-old man was shot in the arm and leg and was expected to survive, according to local reporting. This is Margaret Swan, a great-grandmother stabbed to death 20 TIMES in a random attack in the middle of the day on Atlanta’s public transit. Her murder was the second horrific attack on MARTA in a week. I want ANSWERS from Atlanta. The number of assaults, robberies, and rapes… pic.twitter.com/63to64ehYQ — Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) June 4, 2026 The timing is the story. The Federal Transit Administration announced its MARTA investigation on June 4, before the Friday night shooting. The agency said the review would examine MARTA’s security spending, safety protocols, and risks to riders and workers. The Federal Transit Administration laid out the federal probe in its official announcement: WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy today directed the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to launch an investigation of Atlanta’s Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). The investigation—which will review the transit agency’s security spending, safety protocols, and risks to riders and workers—comes on the heels of two attacks in broad daylight on MARTA property in a week’s time: On May 30, a 66-year-old woman was fatally stabbed 20 times by a man while riding a MARTA train. On May 24, a 40-year-old man was stabbed multiple times following an altercation in a MARTA station. MARTA’s rate of personal security events (assaults, robberies, rapes, etc.) for MARTA employees and riders is nearly twice the national average. This trend is particularly concerning on MARTA’s rail lines, where the rate is three-and-a-half times higher than the national average. The FTA investigation will determine if systemic conditions exist that endanger the public or transit workforce on the Atlanta system. That was the federal backdrop when the new shooting hit Midtown. The Post Millennial flagged footage from the aftermath showing women and children ducking for cover after the shots rang out. Atlanta News First reported that shots were fired on a stopped train at the Midtown station. Witnesses described hearing the gunfire and dropping to the floor inside the railcar. FOX 5 Atlanta reported that MARTA investigators described the shooting as a targeted attack. Police said both the victim and suspect had paid fares before heading toward separate railcars. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that authorities were still working to identify the gunman over the weekend. That distinction matters: officials are not calling Friday’s shooting random, even though passengers trapped in the railcar had no way to know that in the moment. But to riders, the political argument is probably secondary. A 66-year-old great-grandmother was stabbed to death on a MARTA train. A week later, shots were fired at Midtown during rush hour. Atlanta is also preparing to host World Cup matches, with MARTA expected to move enormous crowds through the city. That makes Duffy’s question hard to dodge: if MARTA is spending money on safety, why do riders keep ending up on the floor? The federal probe was already underway before Friday night’s shooting. Now Atlanta has an even bigger problem to explain. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

A 50-year-old Florida woman is dead, two dogs are headed for euthanasia, and their owner is sitting in a Brevard County jail cell. And according to investigators, none of it should have been a surprise. Fox News Digital reported on June 7, 2026 that Jodi Cowan was mauled to death by two dogs named Max and Mako in Cocoa, Florida. The dogs belonged to Linda Cutler, who has been arrested and is now in jail. Cowan had lived on Blue Bonnet Drive for about two weeks. She was walking her small dog after midnight when the two animals attacked. A neighbor’s security camera captured the attack. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey described the video as extremely troubling and graphic. Cowan’s partner, Donnell Smith, tried to drive the dogs away with a knife while he called 911. Cowan was taken to a trauma center and died about four hours later. Here is the part that turns a tragedy into a criminal case. Fox reported that investigators found Cutler knew her dogs repeatedly got out of her yard and had attacked people. One of the dogs had previously bitten a neighbor badly enough to require medical treatment. This was not a freak first incident. Neighbors had called the sheriff’s office at least 14 times about Cutler’s animals since October 2024. Sheriff Ivey said animal services officers had issued Cutler at least five citations carrying hundreds of dollars in fines. The system flagged this household over and over. Investigators were careful about one point. Fox reported they found food and water at Cutler’s home and documented no signs of neglect. This was not about starving, mistreated animals lashing out. It was about an owner who, by the sheriff’s account, knew exactly what her dogs were becoming and kept them anyway. Fox reported Cutler indicated after the mauling that both dogs were growing more aggressive, even toward her. She apparently saw the danger up close and still did nothing to stop the threat she had created. Her behavior after Cowan died does not help her case. Fox reported Cutler checked into a nearby beach hotel after the attack and allegedly pretended to have a heart attack when officers came to arrest her. ClickOrlando reported that Judge David Koenig would have granted a $250,000 bond. But Cutler’s prior bond was revoked, which is what is keeping her behind bars. The judge also barred Cutler from ever possessing or owning animals again. Local coverage reported she faces a manslaughter charge and is being held without bond. Florida law gives prosecutors room to pursue cases where an owner allegedly knew a dog was dangerous and someone was seriously hurt or killed. The official Florida Senate text lays out how the law treats dangerous-dog attacks that lead to severe injury or death: An owner of a dog that has not been declared dangerous which attacks and causes severe injury to, or death of, a human is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. An owner of a dangerous dog that attacks and causes severe injury to a human, or an owner of a dangerous dog that has not demonstrated a prior threat to the public safety that attacks and causes severe injury to a human, is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. An owner of a dangerous dog that attacks and causes the death of a human, or an owner of a dangerous dog that has not demonstrated a prior threat to the public safety that attacks and causes the death of a human, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. In addition, the dangerous dog shall be immediately confiscated by an animal control authority, placed in quarantine, if necessary, for the proper length of time, and thereafter destroyed in an expeditious and humane manner. If the owner files a written appeal under s. 767.12 or this section, the dog may not be destroyed while the appeal is pending. That is the legal framework. The human story is simpler and worse. A woman who had just moved to a quiet street took her small dog out for a walk and never came home. The animals that killed her had been a documented neighborhood problem for more than a year. The dogs are now being held by county animal services and will be euthanized. Fourteen calls. Five citations. A prior bite. The warnings were not missing. They piled up for over a year while the person responsible for those dogs allegedly failed to contain them, until Jodi Cowan paid for it with her life.

Stephen A. Smith does not want to see President Trump at Game 3 of the NBA Finals Monday night at Madison Square Garden. The New York Knicks have the chance to take a 3-0 lead in the series against the San Antonio Spurs, as the franchise seeks its first title in over 50 years. Monday is expected to be pandemonium in Midtown Manhattan. “He’s coming to Game three of the Finals, and I don’t want him there,” Smith said. “It has nothing to do with politics, policy, or anything like that. It has everything to do with him disrupting and contributing at the same time to the chaos that’s going to be existing at Madison Square Garden,” Smith continued. “If it were Barack Obama coming to the Garden, I would say, ‘Stay home.’ Stay at the White House,” he added. “You don’t understand. I have been covering sports for over 30 years. And I’m telling you right now, come Monday, for Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, I expect to see an environment I have never seen in my entire career covering sports. You don’t understand. You don’t understand,” he continued. Check it out: Stephen A. Smith begs Donald Trump to stay away from Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals: “He’s coming to Game three of the Finals, and I don’t want him there. It has nothing to do with politics, policy, or anything like that. It has everything to do with him… pic.twitter.com/O3dk7DnQo2 — NBA Base (@TheNBABase) June 5, 2026 More from the New York Post: Trump, like Smith, is a native New Yorker and has a long history of attending high-profile Knicks games long before his political aspirations. He has become a regular at UFC events at MSG and Prudential Center and attended the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans and U.S. Open men’s tennis final that same year. Trump planned on attending Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, but the Knicks swept away the Cavaliers. “I was invited to. I was going to go on Wednesday [Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals], but they closed it out very quickly. They’re great, and Jim Dolan’s a great guy — he’s, as you know, owns and in charge of Madison Square Garden. He’s having a good year,” Trump told The Post’s Emily Goodin on May 27. “Boy, what a team! They win all their games. They really have some great players. I think I’ll be going to one of the games, yeah. I was invited by numerous people, and Jim, and I think it’s great. Great to see it. The Knicks have really, they’ve really suffered for years and they’re doing right now very well.” The Knicks hold a 2-0 lead over the Spurs in the series after a nail-biting 105-104 win in Game 2 on Friday night. The team has won 13 straight playoff games and needs just two more wins to claim its first championship in 53 years. Trump said on Thursday that he accepted an invitation to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals, leaving the door open for Game 4 as well. “The answer is yes,” Trump said, according to ESPN. “[Dolan] has invited me, and I’m going. I’ll be there. It could be Monday. Maybe I’ll do both [Game 3 and Game 4],” he added. Watch below: President Trump confirms he'll be attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals at MSG and was invited by Knicks owner James Dolan. pic.twitter.com/mAiD9Wa74P — New York Post Sports (@nypostsports) June 4, 2026 ESPN shared further: NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that Trump would be “welcome” to attend Monday’s Game 3, which has fueled record ticket prices and extraordinary interest in New York City as the Knicks seek their first championship since 1973. “President Trump is very much a New Yorker,” Silver said. “I’m thrilled another New Yorker wants to participate in the enthusiasm and the joy around this Knicks team.” Silver noted that Trump’s appearance will be the first by a sitting president at an NBA Finals game. While speaking at a community relationship event in San Antonio, Silver described Trump as a longtime Knicks fan who attended multiple NBA drafts when they were held at Madison Square Garden and once appeared in an “I love this game” commercial produced by NBA Entertainment. “Sports, in particular, is something where we can emphasize what we have in common, not what pulls us apart,” Silver said. “It creates a sense of belonging.” The NBA will use additional layers of security to accommodate Trump’s attendance. “There should be extra security for the president of the United States to be at a game, but I think the fans are very understanding of that,” Silver said. “I think they recognize that it adds to the bigness of the event.” What are your thoughts?

Rep. Lauren Boebert had been answering questions about President Trump’s push to unseat Republican incumbents when the interview suddenly turned personal. A Fox News Digital reporter began asking about allegations involving Rep. Thomas Massie, and Boebert shut it down fast. Fox published the report and video on June 7, 2026, showing Boebert accusing the reporter of looking for “clickbait” before walking away. The allegations came from Cynthia West, described by Fox as a former congressional staffer and a woman identifying herself as Massie’s ex-girlfriend. West claimed Massie bragged about an alleged sexual encounter with Boebert within weeks of his wife’s death. That is an allegation, not a proven fact, and Boebert refused to engage it. The timing matters because the Massie fight has been spilling across conservative media all week. .@FoxNews host Mark Levin deleted his defamatory post about me after Thomas Massie ratioed him in comments and Nick Shirley also commented that what he posted about me was not true. And community notes is still setting him strait.I can’t believe Fox platforms this liar. https://t.co/DZ9VwJbLkB pic.twitter.com/iGqcFRBzl3 — Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (@FmrRepMTG) June 6, 2026 That Greene post does not prove anything about West’s allegation. It does show the broader Fox-versus-Massie tension was already hot when the Boebert clip landed. Before the interview turned explosive, Fox reported that Boebert had been discussing President Trump’s primary pressure campaign and Massie’s future. Boebert said Massie was the only one of the recent GOP primary losers she was “a little sad about,” according to Fox. Fox also reported that Massie recently filed with the Federal Election Commission, while saying he had not made a final decision about which office to seek if he runs. The FEC candidate page lists Thomas H. Massie as a Republican candidate for House Kentucky District 4 and shows statement of candidacy FEC-1979374 filed on May 25, 2026. Boebert and Massie are not random names in the same headline. Boebert’s own House office recently highlighted the fact that she and Massie were working together on legislation: Washington, D.C.– Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-04) and Rep. Thomas Massie (KY-04) introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act, landmark legislation that would require federal and local government agencies to obtain a warrant supported by probable cause before conducting surveillance on American citizens, in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The legislation comes in response to the widespread use of warrantless surveillance technologies by government agencies, including facial recognition systems, automated license plate readers, and commercially purchased location data. According to the bill’s sponsors, these tools are currently being deployed without judicial oversight, building detailed databases of the movements and activities of law-abiding Americans. The Surveillance Accountability Act would: Require all government-initiated searches and surveillance activities to be supported by a judicially issued warrant based on probable cause. Prohibit warrantless facial recognition scanning by federal and local law enforcement agencies in public spaces, including at schools and places of worship. Restrict the use of automated license plate readers (such as Flock cameras) to create persistent location databases of citizens without a court order. Ban federal agencies from purchasing commercially available location or movement data to circumvent warrant requirements. Prohibit federal pressure on local law enforcement agencies to share warrantlessly collected surveillance data. That working relationship is why the question was combustible. The allegation was only one layer. Massie’s place in the GOP was the bigger political fight after President Trump helped turn him into a primary target. Boebert clearly decided she was not going to help turn a personal allegation into another headline. She got the headline anyway. The difference is that her response shifted the story from the allegation itself to the bigger fight around Massie, Fox, and the next round of Republican primary politics.
