President Donald Trump escalated his public campaign against late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on April 30, urging network executives at ABC and parent company Disney to take swift action following a disputed on-air joke about first lady Melania Trump.

In a post shared to Truth Social, Trump questioned how long the broadcaster would continue airing what he described as an "unfunny" program, adding that public anger was growing and warning that consequences should come soon.

The remarks came days after Kimmel referenced Melania Trump during a comedic monologue that aired ahead of the White House Correspondents Dinner. The comedian joked about the couple's dynamic and made a line implying she appeared like an "expectant widow," a comment that resurfaced after a security scare at the event involving an armed suspect.

David Allan Coe, the outlaw country singer known for penning "Take This Job and Shove It," has died at 86, his representative confirmed, marking the end of a decades-long and often controversial career rooted in the 1970s Nashville outlaw movement.

Born in Akron, Ohio in 1939, Coe spent much of his youth in reform school and correctional facilities before turning to music while incarcerated, eventually heading to Nashville after his 1967 release.

He emerged in the 1970s with a gritty, genre-blending style, writing hits for other artists including Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It" and Tanya Tucker's "Would You Lay With Me," while building his own outlaw persona onstage.

He became a defining figure of outlaw country alongside peers like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, though his career was frequently overshadowed by criticism over recordings containing racist and offensive material that he later defended as satire or character-driven work.

In the 1980s, Coe reached mainstream country success with songs like "The Ride" and "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile," the latter becoming one of his highest-charting singles and reinforcing his reputation as a storyteller with a darker, reflective edge.

Erika Kirk released a video responding to criticism and viral impersonations circulating across social media platforms.

She said, in the video, that modern culture turns disagreement into personal betrayal, and escalates opposing views into moral judgment. She referenced comedian Druski, whose viral video impersonation of conservative women, sparked widespread attention and even misled an AI chatbot online. Erika also said, every morning she wakes to new headlines, including accusations about her leadership, her character, and her family life.

She warned that dehumanization in media, and online discourse, can escalate tensions, and distort public understanding of real events, addding that Turning Point USA was created to encourage civil debate, open dialogue, and respectful disagreement across political lines. She also referenced the White House Correspondents Dinner, where she was present during a security incident involving an armed suspect.

Reports from the event mentioned an attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which heightened concern among attendees, and circulated widely online. She concluded by saying she is committed to faith, family, and national unity, and urged Americans to choose dialogue over division.

The impersonation video by Druski spread rapidly online, and triggered debate about satire, representation, and political humor.

A descendant of the Cartier jewelry dynasty has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison after confessing to running an unlicensed cryptocurrency exchange that laundered more than $470 million in drug trafficking proceeds. 

Maximilien de Hoop Cartier, a resident of France who moonlights as a singer under the name “Max Cartier,” was sentenced in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, April 28, after pleading guilty in October to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business and conspiracy to commit bank fraud.

Cartier, 58, funneled the money through a web of US shell companies disguised as fake software and tech firms — with names like Bullpix Solutions, Softmill LLC, and VC Innovated before routing it to Colombia, prosecutors said.

The companies existed solely to receive and transmit international drug money, converting narcos’ cryptocurrency into hard currency.

To fool banks, Cartier used forged contracts and invoices, making it appear the firms were doing legitimate tech work. He deliberately broke transactions into chunks to avoid bank scrutiny.

The scheme, dubbed the “Cartier Cell” by feds, dates back to at least 2018.

New details have emerged following the death of Patrick Muldoon, with official records confirming the circumstances surrounding his passing.

The actor, known for his roles in Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place, died on April 19 at the age of 57. According to his death certificate, the primary cause was a heart attack.

The document also listed additional medical factors, including a pulmonary embolism and hereditary coagulopathy—a genetic condition that affects how the body forms blood clots.

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the lungs, disrupting blood flow. Combined with the clotting disorder, these conditions were identified as contributing to the fatal heart event.

Muldoon's remains were cremated on April 28, as indicated in the official report, which also noted his profession as both an actor and producer.

Before his death, Muldoon had remained active in his career. Just days earlier, he shared excitement about an upcoming project, writing, "So excited to be a part of this amazing project KOCKROACH," referencing a crime thriller he was involved in as an executive producer.
