Trump sundered MAGA by committing an 'unpardonable' offense in Iran: GOP operative

President Donald Trump's "unpardonable" offense in the war in Iran has become the key issue that sundered his MAGA coalition, according to a GOP operative.

Since the beginning of the war in Iran, Trump has made it clear that U.S. troops are fighting on behalf of Israel's interests as much as they are U.S. national interests. Reports indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helped pressure Trump into agreeing to coordinate a bombing campaign in Iran, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that the decision to strike Iran was made in part because of concerns that Iran could strike Israel in retaliation.

Expert reveals how Pam Bondi's 'inarguable lie' could spectacularly backfire

A legal expert revealed on Sunday how Attorney General Pam Bondi's "inarguable lie" could spectacularly backfire against her.

During a recent hearing on Capitol Hill, Bondi claimed there is "no evidence" that President Donald Trump committed a crime contained in the Jeffrey Epstein files that have been made public. That statement could prove problematic for Bondi in the future, especially if Democrats retake the House of Representatives after the November midterm, according to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner.

Expert astounded as Trump admin quietly 'rewards' ally that helped Iran evade sanctions

An international law expert was astounded on Sunday as the Trump administration quietly "rewarded" a country for helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions.

Last week, the Trump administration approved a settlement with Turkey's state-owned Halkbank, which laundered money from Iranian oil back to the Iranian regime while the country was under maximum sanctions by the U.S. In all, the fine for the case could have surpassed $40 billion, according to Sinan Ciddi, senior fellow and director of the Turkey Program at Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

GOP analyst incensed by Trump's 'vile' fundraising campaign: 'Hard to put into words'

A former GOP lawmaker became incensed on Sunday while discussing President Donald Trump's latest "vile" fundraising campaign.

Over the weekend, Trump sent a fundraising email to his supporters that included a photo of him in a white USA hat from the dignified transfer of the fallen soldiers who died during Iran's retaliatory attack on the U.S. embassy in Kuwait. Denver Riggleman, a former Republican lawmaker, told MS NOW's Alex Witt on Sunday that the photo of Trump at the event was "vile" because he was using the deaths of American soldiers to raise money for his political campaign.

'Going to slap us in the pocketbook': Trump alarms supply chain analyst with latest move

President Donald Trump's latest move in the war in Iran alarmed a supply chain analyst on Sunday.

Over the weekend, Trump called on other countries to help the U.S. clear the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian regime has fortified in response to the coordinated bombing campaign conducted by the U.S. and Israel that began in late February. About 20% of global liquefied natural gas and oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has said U.S. and Israeli ships can no longer transit the waterway.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleged that the CIA has been intercepting his private communications and is preparing a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, claiming he faces potential charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for communicating with Iranian contacts before the war began.

"The CIA has been reading my texts," Carlson stated. "They have intercepted my private communications with contacts in Iran in the period leading up to the beginning of the current conflict. And on the basis of those texts—texts!—they are preparing to accuse me of being an unregistered foreign agent under FARA."

The interview was briefly derailed, however, after Stansbury appeared to refer to Epstein as Trump before quickly correcting herself.

An answer by a California conservative, scrambling to keep his job in the House, was on the receiving end of rolled eyes on MS NOW on Saturday morning after he repeatedly ducked a question about US military potentially being deployed to Iran if Donald Trump’s war drags on.

Appearing on “The Weekend," Rep. Kevin Kiley, who switched his affiliation from Republican to independent after redistricting put his job at risk, was asked by co-host Jackie Alemany, “A quick yes or no question, do you support boots on the ground in order to accomplish regime change?”
