A Crack in the Polling Floor Puts Trump in New Territory
Over the last decade, it’s often been said that President Trump’s support has a low ceiling but a high floor.
In this morning’s latest New York Times/Siena poll, whether Mr. Trump really has a high floor is starting to be put to the test.
Just 37 percent of Americans approve of his performance as president, a drop of four percentage points from the last Times/Siena poll in January and his lowest approval rating in any Times/Siena survey in either term.
A four-point decline isn’t necessarily huge, but it puts Mr. Trump’s ratings in new political territory. While recent presidencies have often been unpopular and polarizing, no president’s approval rating has been under 38 percent for more than a few days in the last 17 years, according to our average. If there has been a floor during this partisan era of politics, Mr. Trump’s ratings today have fallen to it.

'Shame Hitler didn't kill you:' Hackney man charged for threats to kill Jews on London bus
After making threats to kill Jews on a North London bus, a Hackney man was charged on Friday, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, Metropolitan Police, and North and East London Shomrim.
Fifty year old James Agius was charged with religiously aggravated harassment and using threatening words for the alleged abuse of Orthodox Jews on a bus traveling through Stamford Hill on Thursday.
The Met told The Jerusalem Post on Friday that Agius was suspected of making threats to kill. Shomrim said on X on Thursday that a male suspect had boarded a bus in Hackney and threatened to kill Jewish children while also claiming to possess a knife. The Met said that a search of the suspect yielded no weapon.
“Shame Hitler didn’t kill you," the suspect said, according to the Shomrim. “You should all go in the gas chambers.”

UC Berkeley student charged after antisemitic graffiti reports
A UC Berkeley student has been charged in connection with reports of antisemitic graffiti at a Cal housing complex and in Albany nearby.
Sean Ceballos, 35, was charged Tuesday with one count of felony vandalism, authorities said today.
The investigation began on or after Oct. 14, the University of California Police Department said, after graffiti — via permanent marker, spray paint and stickers — began popping up at University Village in Albany and elsewhere in the close-knit community.
The messages, which "targeted … the Jewish community at UC Village and in Albany" and continued to appear at least through Dec. 1, had themes including opposition and death to Zionist Israel, the IDF and ICE, authorities said.

Metropolitan Police officers were sent to Whitechapel Road in Tower Hamlets after an online video showed the suspect making threats and slurs on Friday.

Plot Was 'Targeting Heart' of New York's Jewish Community, Tisch Says
The commander of an Iranian-backed militia who was charged with planning an attack on a New York synagogue was “targeting the heart of our Jewish community,” Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch said on Friday, hours after federal prosecutors said that they had thwarted the plot.
The commander, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, who had organized at least 20 attacks in Europe and Canada, had also planned to kill Americans and Jews in Los Angeles and had set his sights on a synagogue in Manhattan, Ms. Tisch said.
She did not name the synagogue but said Mr. al-Saadi had chosen a place that supported Israel and Zionism. Mr. al-Saadi, who was detained in Turkey and handed over to U.S. authorities, appeared in federal court in Manhattan on Friday. He did not enter a plea and a hearing was set for May 29.
According to the indictment, the commander wanted to send a message to a congregation that stood for “the right for Israel to exist.”

October 7 Massacre conference to be held in Toronto by branch of banned terror group
A pro-October 7 massacre conference is set to be held in Toronto in November, according to the Masar Badil Movement Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement Instagram account, hosted by a branch of an organization banned by Canada for being a terrorist group’s front.
The Three Years of Al-Aqsa Flood Conference, subtitled “Resistance & Return From the Belly of the Beast,” is being organized by Masar Badil, an organization closely linked to Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which was listed by Canada as a terrorist entity for its close links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist organization.
“2026 marks three years since one of the most courageous acts of resistance in our lifetimes: Al-Aqsa Flood Battle. This is the time for us in the Global North – particularly in occupied Turtle Island, the home of American and Canadian imperialism – to have a serious reckoning with this glorious feat, which took the theoretical notion of liberation and made it concrete,” Masar Badil wrote on the conference website.
“The brave efforts of the resistance continue to open up the possibility of return for the scattered Palestinian diaspora, who must now form a response to this newfound reality,” continued Masar Badil.

A 'mysterious' PAC has waded into a Democratic primary in the Philly suburbs. Officials are calling its most recent ad a
Mailers decried by a bipartisan coalition of Pennsylvania officials as antisemitic have been circulating to voters just days ahead of a competitive Democratic primary for a state Senate district in suburban Philadelphia.
The Protecting Our Democracy PAC, which received $25,000 from a pro-skill games PAC and is chaired by the owner of Capital Vending, a supplier of coin-operated games in Pennsylvania, sent out at least three different mailers in recent weeks targeting Bradley Merkl-Gump, a teacher and Pennridge School Board member who is facing Lehigh County Controller Mark Pinsley in Tuesday’s 16th District Democratic primary.
The winner will face Republican incumbent State Sen. Jarrett Coleman in November as Democrats contend to flip the state Senate blue.
In an earlier mailer, the PAC, which was formed last month, described Merkl-Gump as a “Party Boss Puppet,” referring to a straw poll Bucks County Democrats held earlier this year, which Merkl-Gump won.
But a new ad getting more attention calls the Pennridge School Board member the “hand-picked candidate of the corporate, Israel-first Democratic party boss and insiders.”

TX-SEN, TX-35: Talarico says he won't campaign with Galindo if she wins runoff, condemns remarks as antisemitic
Texas state Representative and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico says he will not campaign with Democratic congressional candidate Maureen Galindo if she wins the May 26 runoff election in Texas’ 35th Congressional District, which covers San Antonio and surrounding counties.
In a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Talarico condemned remarks Galindo has made publicly during the campaign as antisemitic.
“This antisemitic rhetoric has no place in our politics,” Talarico said. “We need leadership in both parties willing to stand up and call out hate wherever it rears its ugly head.”
Talarico’s campaign later told JTA that if Galindo becomes the Democratic nominee in TX-35, he will not campaign with her.

Prince Harry warns of 'deeply troubling rise' in antisemitism in UK after spate of attacks
Prince Harry has warned of Britain’s “deeply troubling rise in anti-Semitism” following a string of antisemitic attacks directed against the country’s Jewish community.
In an op-ed published Thursday by British left-wing magazine The New Statesman, Harry outlined his fears for what he called “a divided kingdom” and urged people to separate their protests against the Israeli government from prejudice towards Jewish people.
He did not explicitly name Israel in the piece. Instead, he referred to states whose actions “raise serious questions under international humanitarian law” and acknowledged “images from Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region– of devastated communities and entire neighbourhoods levelled and reduced to rubble – have shaken people to their core.”
Israel’s war in Gaza, launched after Hamas’ deadly terrorist attack in October 2023, has prompted worldwide protests and an independent United Nations inquiry concluded last September that the country had committed genocide against Palestinians in the enclave.
