The Trump administration was hit Thursday with a new lawsuit from survivors of Jeffrey Epstein over what they say was a “deliberate” oversight from the Justice Department (DOJ).

“The United States, acting through the DOJ, made a deliberate policy choice to prioritize rapid, large-volume disclosure over protection of Epstein survivors’ privacy,” the plaintiffs in the lawsuit said, according to a report from NBC Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump has faced repeated accusations of market manipulation amid his administration’s ongoing war against Iran, but on Sunday, a new critic emerged, and one whose observations stunned onlookers.

Trump has made a number of well-timed social media posts regarding updates on the Iran war that have significantly shifted markets. Coupled with reports of "mysterious trading patterns,” critics have increasingly alleged Trump to be “using the war” to enrich his inner circle.

Amid the ongoing partial government shutdown that has sparked chaos and long lines at airports nationwide, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was spotted at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida dining at Chef Mickey’s, and having a “grand ol’ time,” TMZ reported on Sunday, sparking immediate backlash from several notable critics.

“Divas still need vacation,” reads a social media post from California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office in response to Graham’s Disney World getaway.

Former Reagan administration official and conservative media personality Mark Levin delivered a monologue Saturday night that critics say may have “single-handedly” doomed the GOP in the upcoming midterms, and possibly damaged President Donald Trump’s legacy “for eternity.”

On Saturday afternoon, Trump urged his followers on social media to watch Levin on Fox News later that same night. During the broadcast, Levin argued in favor of deploying U.S. boots on the ground in Iran, saying such a move would be necessary to seize the nation’s supply of uranium, a key element in the production of nuclear weapons.

Mahamad Safa, formerly the permanent representative to the United Nations for a major human rights organization, resigned from his diplomatic positions on Friday to leak a dramatic claim, along with a desperate plea to the United States and elsewhere.

“I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the U.N. is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran,” Safa wrote in a statement shared on social media Sunday.

Disaster preparedness expert, author and U.S. Air Force veteran Christopher Armitage issued a dire warning recently that the supply chain disruptions caused by the U.S. war against Iran had set the United States on track for a “total collapse” within six months, with the bleak conditions only exacerbated by the Trump administration's cuts to social safety net programs.

Writing on his Substack The Existentialist Republic, Armitage noted that nearly 50 million Americans faced hunger in 2025, 14 million of which were children. Armitage also noted that, within 48 hours of the United States striking Iran, the Middle East nation closed off the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route through which a third of the world’s fertilizer flows.

During an appearance on Fox News on Sunday, far-right Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) accused Democrats of conspiring to put the lives of ICE agents’ families at risk as part of their strategy to dial back funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Speaking with host Shannon Bream about the competing funding bills that have Republicans in the House and the Senate at each other's throats, the Arkansas Republican tried to shift the blame to Democrats.

Rep. Nancy Mace’s attempt on CNN to gloss over a Senate funding bill aimed at getting most of the Department of Homeland Security paid ended badly when one of her Democratic colleagues explained it contained far more than she stated.

The South Carolina Republican was sitting on a “State of the Union” panel with host Jake Tapper and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) when the CNN host asked her about the competing funding bills between the House and the Senate.
