A prominent pro-Trump senator is coming out against one of the more controversial provisions proposed for President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill."

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) told Punchbowl News congressional reporter Max Cohen that the plan by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to sell off portions of federally-owned land to build housing is a dead letter as far as he is concerned.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Punchbowl News on Monday that she won't be supporting congressional authorization for President Donald Trump's war against Iran.

Following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, debate ignited in Congress's halls over the president’s authority to engage in military action without lawmakers' explicit approval. A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced War Powers Resolutions aiming to limit Trump’s ability to further strike Iran without their authorization.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday evening that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran would begin shortly.

"CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!" Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. "It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World."

CNN's Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent Paula Reid noted a couple of important outstanding questions the Supreme Court left open following its decision on Monday to allow President Donald Trump's administration to deport migrants to countries that are not their home country.

The court's decision stayed a decision from a lower court that required the Department of Homeland Security to provide written notice of its intent to deport migrants and give them time to dispute their final destination. Judge Brian Murphy of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts said last month that deporting migrants without due process unquestionably violated their Constitutional rights. The government has claimed the migrants are violent criminals and don't deserve to be in the country.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went into damage control mode after a reporter asked her about her split with President Donald Trump over his decision to bomb Iran.

After accusing Trump of a "bait and switch" for going against his campaign promises, Greene faced questions from a reporter about the split. The lawmaker shared a video of the interaction on X.

Legal experts were quick to respond to what they called a shocking ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday that would allow President Donald Trump to deport people to third countries where they have no ties.

Immigration Council senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick called the ruling "disastrous."

In the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling Monday that permitted President Donald Trump to resume migrant deportations to countries like El Salvador and Guatemala, the three dissenting judges slammed the decision as a “gross abuse of the court’s equitable discretion.”

Invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, Trump first ordered the deportation of migrants to foreign countries in March, sending hundreds to El Salvador’s notoriously dangerous CECOT prison, including a Maryland man with protected legal status due to an “administrative error.” While federal judges would shortly thereafter issue orders to halt the deportations, the Trump administration would continue to deport dozens of migrants to foreign nations.

A group of Democrats in the House of Representatives unveiled replicas of a plaque on Monday that was designed to commemorate the officers who defended the Capitol during the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, when a group of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building.

The creation of the plaque was mandated in the 2022 spending bill. However, it has collected dust in a storage facility since Republicans took control of Congress. Democrats are pushing for provisions that require the plaque to be installed as part of the 2026 spending bill, but it's unclear whether those negotiations will come to bare.

President Donald Trump took an apparent jab at CNN anchor Anderson Cooper's sexuality in his latest Truth Social rant, sparking outrage on social media.

Trump reacted angrily to reports that the airstrikes he ordered against Iran didn't destroy their nuclear capabilities.

One MSNBC host said that she couldn't help but notice President Donald Trump seemed less confident when he spoke to the nation Saturday night about bombing Iran.

In a conversation with Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig, host Katy Tur asked what her sources were saying about where the president's "head" was after Iran fired missiles at a U.S. air base in Qatar.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that President Donald Trump can continue to deport migrants to countries not of their origin without limited notice.

Reporting the decision, Politico's Kyle Cheney said on X that the decision was 6-3 with liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.

In a scathing letter from Democratic lawmakers, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was chastised for unlawfully obstructing members of Congress from visiting detention centers used to house undocumented immigrants, and was reminded of one of her more controversial moments in recent years.

Signed off by Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Lou Correa (D-CA) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the letter condemns Noem for new policies enacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcements, an agency under DHS, that unlawfully restrict members of Congress from visiting ICE facilities, a violation, they say, of Congress’ constitutional oversight duties over the executive branch.
