MAGA influencer Steve Bannon slammed President Donald Trump's administration for failing to prove Iranian nuclear sites had been destroyed after a U.S. bombing campaign.

"I don't think people are sleeping better," Bannon said on Monday, following the weekend strike. "But I was very upset yesterday morning when we at least didn't have, you know, give me a Norman Schwarzkopf, give me a, at least a grainy gun cannon photo of exactly what the freaking, you know, what happened."

The Kremlin is enraged over President Donald Trump's decision to strike nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend, Reuters reported on Monday — and at least part of its anger seems to stem from the fact that Trump didn't clear any of his action with Vladimir Putin first.

Per the report, Putin "hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Moscow two days after U.S. President Donald Trump sent U.S. bomber planes to strike Iran's three main nuclear sites," where he told Araqchi, "The absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis and no justification. For our part, we are making efforts to assist the Iranian people."

The U.S. Senate parliamentarian revealed on Sunday that a significant portion of the 2026 budget, known as "the big, beautiful bill," will require 60 votes to pass.

Republicans had hoped to use the reconciliation process to side-step a filibuster, or other delay tactics, in the Senate. However, as Slate's Mark Joseph Stern pointed out Monday, "This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill."

President Donald Trump seemed to realize Monday that a repercussion of his bombing of Iran could be higher fuel prices in the United States.

Writing on Truth Social Monday, days after he ordered the bombing of nuclear sites in Iran, Trump wrote in all capital letters, "EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON’T DO IT!"

As part of her cheerleading for Donald Trump's attack on Iran on Saturday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped in it on Monday during a Fox News interview.

Brought on to spin the attack on Iran that many believe has put the U.S. on the precipice of war, Leavitt cheerfully boasted to the Fox & Friends hosts, "Nobody knows what it means to accomplish peace through strength better than President Trump. He is the one who came up with that motto and that foreign policy doctrine and he successfully implemented it in his first term."

Fox News host Mark Levin, a proponent of war with Iran, lashed out at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after she denounced the bombing of nuclear sites.

"Marjorie Taylor Green [sic], shameless nitwit," Levin wrote on Monday in a post on X. "How incredibly dumb is this Marjorie Taylor Green [sic]? She doesn't know anyone in America who has been a victim of crime or killed by Iran? You mean the thousands of Americans, especially military personnel, killed and maimed by the Iranian terrorist regime?"

Republicans have a “bitter pill” to swallow with their new spending bill that's making its way through Congress, according to Bloomberg Opinion Contributor Kathryn Anne Edwards — it will do exactly the opposite of what they promise.

Edwards wrote that, "regardless of Republicans’ commitment to tax cuts, higher taxes are coming.”

The smoke had barely settled from the United States' bombing campaign against Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend when it became clear that — contrary to President Donald Trump's claims — Iran's nuclear facilities were not completely destroyed and their capabilities were only damaged.

And it appears that the president's thirst for spectacle and suspense may actually have given the Iranians the advanced warning they needed to thwart anything worse from happening to them, conservative attorney George Conway wrote on X Monday morning.

Donald Trump's trade war has taken a backseat as the president has put the U.S. on the brink of a real war with his attack on Iran — and that is probably a good thing for him, reports Politico.

On Sunday, Politico reported that nothing is happening on the tariff front because the negotiations have been mired in confusion over who speaks for the president, with three key advisors working independently of each other.

In the wake of the United States dropping bombs on Iran, New York Times Opinion Writer Frank Bruni is railing against the “coterie of toadies” who are supposed to be advising President Donald Trump on such actions.

“President Trump dropped 15-ton bombs on uranium enrichment sites in Iran with Tulsi Gabbard as his director of national intelligence and Pete Hegseth as his defense secretary,” Bruni said, “I, for one, am not comforted.”

Elon Musk is having a full-blown meltdown over his own artificial intelligence creation turning against him—and his solution is straight out of an Orwellian nightmare.

The world's richest man announced plans to completely rewrite human knowledge itself after his AI chatbot Grok kept spitting out inconvenient truths that clash with his far-right worldview.

Donald Trump's decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities wasn't strategic planning—it was pure ego, according to explosive new revelations from author Michael Wolff.

The former president reportedly flip-flopped wildly in the final hours before Saturday's strikes, initially siding with Tucker Carlson's anti-war stance before abruptly reversing course when Republican hawks convinced him military action would make him "look like a winner."
