New York Giants defensive lineman Abdul Carter is taking major heat after posting publicly to criticize teammate Jaxson Dart for introducing President Donald Trump onstage at a New York rally Friday night. “thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man,” Carter posted on X, after clips of Dart standing beside Trump exploded across social media. thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man https://t.co/ePR3b4MZEv — Abdul Carter (@1NCRDB1) May 23, 2026 The reaction immediately sparked backlash from conservatives and NFL fans, many of whom accused the rookie defender of disrespecting both Trump and his own teammate over what many viewed as a patriotic moment. “If your QB wants to support the President, he’s allowed to,” one user wrote under Carter’s post. “Your head coach is a huge Trump fan also, and so is more than half the league. The Left injected their woke bullsh*t into sports for decades, and you didn’t say sh*t. You know nothing of the world.” Another user blasted Carter even more directly: “lol you’re about to find out that he’s the franchise and you’re not bud,” the commenter wrote. “Also your new coach voted for Trump too. Grow up and get over it. If you voted for kamala who wants our tax dollars to pay for weirdos sex change surgeries, that’s your business bro but not everyone is dumb.” Others went even further, with some bringing up Carter’s past legal controversy involving an alleged altercation with a tow truck driver during his college years: “The reason I never wanted the Giants to draft you was because I read the police report where you beat the tow truck driver within inches of his life. You are a complete psychopath. It was hard enough to look past the Muslim thing. You can’t sack the QB to save your life and you sleep in meetings. Total bust. Good riddance. At least Jaxson is a Christian American who loves America.” The viral reaction came shortly after Dart joined Trump onstage at a rally supporting Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), where the rookie quarterback warmly introduced the president before Trump praised him as a future “hall of famer.” Carter, a former Penn State star selected third overall by the Giants in last year’s NFL Draft, has openly embraced his Muslim faith and made headlines during draft night after wearing traditional Islamic clothing on the red carpet. “Just paying homage to what got me here,” Carter said at the time. “Just praying to God, praying to Allah, you know, dressing like Muslims. That’s what got me here.” At Friday’s rally, Trump praised the rookie quarterback moments after Dart introduced him to the crowd. “I want to thank Jaxson Dart,” Trump said. “This is going to be a Hall of Famer in my book.” Dart’s appearance at the rally was brief. He led the crowd in a chant for the Giants and then introduced the president, making no political statement.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that a major agreement involving Iran has been “largely negotiated” following calls with leaders across the Middle East. Trump said final details are still being worked out between the United States, Iran, and several regional countries, but claimed the Strait of Hormuz “will be opened” as part of the deal. Trump also revealed he spoke separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the call “went very well” as the White House signals a possible breakthrough after weeks of escalating tensions. This is breaking news. Stay with The Daily Wire as more details unfold.

Move over, Ozempic. There’s a new weight loss shot everyone’s freaking out about. A new experimental weight loss drug called “retatrutide” is suddenly blowing up online after clinical trial results showed patients losing an average of more than 70 pounds, with some people dropping nearly a third of their body weight. Yes, you read that right. The once-weekly injectable drug, currently being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, is already being called the next giant leap in the booming GLP-1 weight loss craze that has completely transformed Hollywood, social media, and, honestly, half the conversations happening in America right now. And based on these numbers, people are definitely going to pay attention. According to new trial data, patients taking the highest dose of retatrutide lost an average of 70.3 pounds over roughly a year and a half. Some participants reportedly lost closer to 85 pounds during extended testing. To put that into perspective, researchers say the results are starting to approach what doctors typically see with actual bariatric surgery. That’s a huge deal. Unlike current blockbuster drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound, retatrutide targets three separate hormone receptors instead of one or two. Experts believe that the extra mechanism may help the body burn more energy while also reducing appetite and improving blood sugar levels at the same time. In normal-person language? People feel less hungry while their bodies potentially burn more calories. Which is why the internet and half the medical world are losing their minds over these numbers. One endocrinologist reportedly called it “the largest weight loss” she had ever seen in a medication trial. But before everybody starts sprinting to Google looking for prescriptions, there’s a catch. Actually, several catches. The drug is still experimental and has not yet been approved by the FDA. Analysts don’t expect approval until late 2027 or 2028, though Eli Lilly has said it could happen as early as this year. The trial data have also not yet gone through a full peer review. And then there are the side effects. A pretty significant number of patients experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, skin discomfort, and urinary tract infections.  Some people dropped out of the study altogether because of how rough the side effects became at higher doses. In other words, while it might sound like magic, it’s technically not. Still, the numbers are so dramatic that retatrutide is already being viewed as a possible next-generation successor to the current wave of wildly popular weight loss injections dominating the market. Which means America’s obsession with these drugs probably is not slowing down anytime soon.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt says in a newly resurfaced video that he doesn’t want federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Los Angeles — which, at first glance, might appear to be a surprising take from the former reality star. Pratt, however, is not okay with criminals in his city; he wants just the opposite. The candidate explained that simply enforcing the law and cracking down on crime would eliminate the necessity for ICE agents to come to LA in the first place, and accused Democrat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and other “activist” mayors of playing politics and hurting their constituents in the process. “I don’t want ICE in LA — nobody wants ICE in LA, except Karen ‘Basura,’ apparently,” Pratt says in the video. The candidate routinely refers to Mayor Bass as Karen “Basura” — the Spanish word for “garbage.” “The way you keep ICE out of LA is by enforcing the law, not defying it,” he continued. “I look at what Mayor [Daniel] Lurie did in San Francisco — clearly, no friend of the Trump administration — but he called the president and made a deal. He vowed to have SFPD crack down on crime, and the president agreed to keep ICE out of the city. … You don’t see [any] riots, no crazy videos of ICE agents having chaotic arrests. That’s how it’s done.” “Why is it that only certain cities are having all this chaos with ICE?” he said. “They are in a lot of cities, but there are only problems in places like LA and Minneapolis. It’s not a Democrat/Republican thing. Memphis doesn’t have chaos. Liberal San Francisco doesn’t have the chaos, unlike LA.” The “common denominator” in these chaotic cities, Pratt argued, is “activist mayors using their city, their residents, their businesses as fodder for their political grandstanding, and people suffer as a result.” “By failing to enforce the law, Karen ‘Basura’ is guaranteeing that ICE will flood the city,” he said. “Unlike reckless mayors like Karen ‘Basura,’ adults put their egos aside. They live in the real world and they make deals to protect their communities, and that’s exactly how I will end the ICE raids in LA.” “Our city is not a political playhouse, it’s our home,” Pratt concluded. The video was first posted to Pratt’s Facebook page in February, but has since resurfaced on social media as the race between Pratt and Bass heats up. Bass is still the favorite to win, with Polymarket-style predictions placing Pratt at a 24-28% chance of pulling off an upset. However, recent polling shows a huge number of LA residents as “undecided,” which could run in Pratt’s favor. WATCH: Spencer Pratt has said he wants ICE out of L.A. – and that the person who REALLY wants these agents in Los Angeles IS Karen Bass. He is 100% correct. The way you keep ICE out of your city is to enforce the law. If you choose to let illegal alien criminals roam the streets -… pic.twitter.com/caHrNZAxb2 — OutspokenSamantha (@Outspoken_Sam) May 22, 2026

Parents just got another reason to side-eye the toy aisle. One popular squeeze toy sold at Walmart and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is now being recalled over something that sounds straight out of a nightmare: asbestos. More than 120,000 Orb Funkee squeeze toys are being pulled from shelves after officials warned on Thursday that the sand packed inside certain models may contain tremolite asbestos, a dangerous mineral linked to serious lung diseases and cancer. Yes, we’re talking about a children’s squishy toy. The recall specifically impacts certain “Funkee Monkee” squeeze toys sold nationwide between February 2025 and April 2026, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. And while, thankfully, no kids have reportedly been hurt so far, the warning itself is enough to make a lot of parents do a double take. Officials say the danger comes if the toy breaks open and kids inhale particles from the sand filling inside. Asbestos exposure has long been associated with severe health problems, including lung scarring, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. In other words, not exactly the kind of thing parents expect to hear about a toy monkey sitting in a playroom. The recalled products include both a large gold Funkee Monkee toy and several smaller colorful versions. Parents are being urged to immediately take the toys away from children and stop using them altogether. The recalled Orb Funkee squeeze toys may contain fibrous tremolite (asbestos) in the sand, which can cause adverse health issues if inhaled. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) And the cleanup instructions honestly make the situation sound even worse. If the toy has ruptured and any sand leaked out, consumers are being told to wear gloves and a mask while cleaning it up, use damp cloths to avoid spreading particles into the air, then double-bag everything, including the toy, cloths, gloves, and even the mask itself. That is a real instruction tied to a children’s toy. The company behind the product, The Orb Factory, is offering refunds. Customers are being instructed to place the toy into a sealed heavy-duty plastic bag, tape it shut, and send a photo to the company to receive reimbursement. The affected toys reportedly sold for anywhere between $5 and $40. Parents can identify recalled models by checking for the date code “3102491A,” which appears on the hand of the large monkey toy or on the back of the smaller versions. And honestly, stories like this are becoming way too common lately. Between toy recalls, contaminated snacks, and household products suddenly getting pulled over health concerns, parents increasingly feel like they need a hazmat team just to survive a trip to the store. This time, though, officials are making one thing crystal clear: if your child has one of these squeeze toys, get it out of the house immediately.
