Investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein flagged what he claimed to be a “hidden message” buried in the Trump administration’s new military recruitment ad that debuted during the White House Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Sunday, an ad, he argued, that intentionally invoked feelings of “religious terror.”

“The U.S. military's new recruitment ad has a hidden message; that message can be captured in one simple word: ‘greatness.’ It's stated most clearly about halfway through the ad,” Klippenstein said in a video published Sunday night.

Vice President JD Vance took a shot at one of President Donald Trump's closest allies on live television Monday.

Vance called out Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and Trump's regular golfing partner, by name on ABC's Good Morning America — telling him to stop doubting the newly signed U.S.-Iran deal.

A former national security official during President Donald Trump's first term sharply criticized his agreement with Iran to end hostilities.

Miles Taylor, who served as National Security Council chief of staff in the first Trump administration, told MS NOW's Stephanie Ruhle that none of the terms the 80-year-old president had reached with Iran improved the situation from before he decided to launch the war in February.

A veteran political analyst rained scorn on President Donald Trump's peace agreement with Iran.

Iranian officials have announced they reached a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. to end fighting on all fronts, and they said the agreement will be signed on Friday, but The Bulwark's Will Saletan joined the chorus of criticism of the terms Trump administration officials had negotiated.

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough highlighted new reporting about the inner workings of President Donald Trump's White House that will likely become the subjects of criminal prosecutions.

New York Times correspondents Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported that Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller proposed suspending habeas corpus to speed up mass deportations, and both he and Vice President JD Vance pushed the president to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, and the "Morning Joe" host said those actions were plainly unconstitutional.

Liberal commentator David Pakman ridiculed Vice President JD Vance in a video published Sunday over a recent Fox News interview with Jesse Watters, calling it an "embarrassment" that exposed Vance's inability to carry the Republican torch after President Donald Trump leaves office.

Vance was asked by Watters to comment on the recent Democratic Senate nominations of Texas state Rep. James Talarico and Graham Platner in Maine. Before uttering a word, Vance belted out a loud laugh, one that Pakman described as “completely disingenuous.”

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough dumped cold water on an agreement President Donald Trump has reached to end his war in Iran.

Iranian officials confirmed an agreement has been finalized, and Trump has said Strait of Hormuz will reopen Friday once the deal has been signed, but the "Morning Joe" host slammed the president for starting the war in the first place and questioned what had been gained in relation to the steep cost.

A psychologist and author shared a sobering warning about President Donald Trump on Sunday, noting that the president's symptoms appear to be as bad as ever.

Dr. John Gartner, a former assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, argued on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles that Trump appears to be grooming the American public to accept the prospect of what could be his most destructive act yet. That is happening at a time when Trump's symptoms have become so "extreme," according to Gartner, that the president appears to be the sickest individual that Gartner has ever witnessed.

President Donald Trump's lawyers made a big mistake in the president's $10 billion lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, one so big that two legal experts argued on Sunday that it could be evidence of malpractice.

Trump initially sued the BBC in Florida in December 2025, claiming the network defamed him by mischaracterizing the speech Trump made ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. During the speech, Trump told his supporters they needed to "fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," according to a transcript published by NPR.

An elections expert on Sunday flagged the "unforced error" that could determine which political party controls the Senate following the 2026 midterm election.

Democrats have been vying for control of the Senate, as it would give them leverage to potentially convict President Donald Trump if he is impeached after the midterms. The Democrats have said that impeaching the president is their number-one priority following the November election. Trump was impeached twice during his first term, but was not convicted by the Senate in either trial.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was one of the lucky Trump administration officials who was asked to go on the Sunday morning news shows, but things apparently didn't go according to plan, according to some political analysts and observers.

Hegseth joined CBS News' Margaret Brennan on Sunday, where he was asked about the ongoing negotiations between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime to end the war against Iran. President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that the two sides were "so close" to a deal before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved another strike in Beirut, Lebanon. Iran considers Israeli strikes on Lebanon — particularly Beirut — a red line because of its ties to Hezbollah
