In the first four weeks of former President Trump's hush money trial, his one-time personal attorney, Michael Cohen, has been called a "jerk," an "asshole" and challenging to work with – to the point that some sought to actively avoid him. But when Cohen takes the stand on Monday – billed as a star witness for the Manhattan district attorney's office – he'll be tasked with convincing the jury hearing the former president's first criminal case that he's also something else: a credible witness. |

Transgender issues have emerged as an unexpected focal point in West Virginia's gubernatorial race, as Republicans in the crowded primary seek to stand out as more conservative than their competitors in the solidly red state.
In the weeks ahead of Tuesday's primary, former state Rep. Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), businessman Chris Miller and a PAC supporting West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey have released ads capitalizing on misinformation and Republican concerns surrounding gender-affirming health care and transgender athletes. |

Facing its most significant threat yet to operate in the U.S, TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are looking to repeat their success in court at blocking other attempts to ban the app by arguing it violates the First Amendment. The tech company filed a lawsuit this week challenging a recently signed bipartisan law that would force the company to divest TikTok or face a ban in the U.S. Lawmakers who support the measure said TikTok threatens U.S. national security because of Beijing's strict control of Chinese tech companies. |

Speculation is swirling over the role Nikki Haley will play in the run-up to November as she racks up primary votes against former President Trump months after dropping out of the presidential race. Haley, who exited the race in March, garnered 21.7 percent of the vote in Tuesday's Indiana primary, the latest example of her winning a significant share of votes against Trump despite no longer being a candidate. |

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign says he has qualified for just more than a fifth of the 50 states he's targeting before November. Less than six months until Election Day, Kennedy has successfully petitioned to get on the battleground states of Michigan, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada and North Carolina and has also amassed enough support for larger targets, like California. |

| Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted online clarifying his stance on government abortion limits on Saturday. Earlier this week, Kennedy told Sage Steele on her podcast that he's against government limits on abortion, even if they're full-term, sparking some backlash. His Saturday post appeared to backtrack on his previous comments. |

| OPINION | As protests against Israel's war in Gaza and debates about antisemitism continue, a question arises: What is the difference between "feeling unsafe" and "being unsafe"? Conflating the two, as is often happening, creates a dramatically false equivalence that has infected the discourse about Israel and Palestine. |
OPINION | As the ongoing attempts to revive a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas are showing minimal signs of success, Israel is moving forward with its plan for an operation in Rafah, the most southern city in Gaza that borders Egypt. On May 6, the Israeli military issued an evacuation order for more than 200,000 Gazans in the southern-west part of the Gaza Strip. |
