Republican Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach, who’s “proudly endorsed by President Donald Trump,” bucked the president Sunday night over his endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his race for U.S. Senate, and suggested that voters support Paxton’s GOP opponent instead.

Leach’s reasoning for breaking with the president, he explained in a social media post on X, was a plea deal that Paxton’s office had offered former attorney Adam Hoffman, who last month was sentenced to 60 days in jail for “sexually abusing a young boy” over a three-year period.

Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who last week lost his re-election bid after serving seven terms, vowed on Sunday that during his remaining seven months in office, he would publicly identify individuals linked to Jeffrey Epstein whose names, critics have said, had been unlawfully redacted in Justice Department files.

“I’ve got seven more months to keep going against the grain,” Massie told NBC News’ Kristen Welker during an appearance on the network’s “Meet the Press.”

President Donald Trump demanded on Saturday that Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) not be allowed back on the Fox News, but on Sunday, not only was Khanna invited back on the right-wing network, but the California Democrat expressed hope that the president may be watching and extend him an invitation to the White House.

Trump’s demand to Fox News was made on his social media network Truth Social, in which he shared an image appearing to be created with generative artificial intelligence depicting Khanna with fangs and horns. Trump also labeled Khanna as a “sleazebag” and a “Dumocrat.”

Veteran journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, who last week revealed she was "fleeing the country" after claiming to have been targeted by "direct energy weapon attacks" linked to her reporting on Jeffrey Epstein, said Saturday that the alleged attacks have since left her "permanently injured."

“We should all understand this is real. These are the most cowardly weapons ever created,” Valdes-Rodriguez wrote in a social media post on Substack Saturday evening.

The 2026 Fifa World Cup is set to take place next month across 11 cities in the United States, but comments from the Trump administration have sparked fears among human rights groups that soccer fans – particularly non-English speakers or those with accents – may be at “risk.”

“We wanted to warn visitors and tourists of the risks of coming to Florida for the World Cup,” said Yareliz Mendez-Zamora, policy coordinator for American Friends Service Committee, speaking with Zeteo for its report published on Sunday.

With the midterm elections fast approaching in November, outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) issued a bleak prediction for his party’s chances at the ballot box, and laid most of the blame on the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers he argued were overly loyal to the president.

Appearing on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Massie was asked by Kristen Welker whether his defiance to President Donald Trump on pushing for the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, deficit-increasing tax cuts and the U.S. war against Iran was “worth it” given his recent election loss.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced via social media that a negotiated settlement with Iran to end the war had “been largely negotiated," but on Sunday, a foreign policy expert raised doubts about whether the president himself authored the post, and what that may reveal about the ongoing negotiations.

“First of all, there's no misspellings, there [are] no grammatical errors, there are no attempts at humiliating any side. He's got the titles and the names of each of these different world leaders correct,” said Trita Parsi, an Iranian-Swedish writer, political analyst and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, during an appearance on “Breaking Points.”

President Donald Trump has remained defiant amid a wave of criticism from right-wing figures urging him to resume hostilities with Iran and walk away from peace negotiations, but according to Israeli-American academic and podcast host Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, that pressure may be gaining traction.

“I am currently talking to two sources I really respect. They are both telling me that Trump is backing away from the deal with Iran, likely under extreme internal pressure (i.e. Israel and its domestic allies in the US),” Ben-Ephraim wrote in a social media post Sunday on X. “This is a terrifying turn of events.”

As the Trump administration reportedly nears a deal to end the U.S. war against Iran, a wave of criticism from right-wing figures has emerged, and on Sunday, President Donald Trump lashed out at those critics as “losers” who knew “nothing” about the ongoing negotiations.

“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Bruce Springsteen's current tour isn't just a concert — it's a masterclass in resistance, and other celebrities should be taking notes, according to a labor journalist who attended one of the Boss's recent shows.

A prominent MAGA-aligned physician publicly exposed what she described as a furious texting campaign by far-right activist Laura Loomer on Sunday — triggering a spectacular public meltdown that played out in real time on social media.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden posted screenshots of text messages from Loomer, who had challenged her over a post questioning why HHS Secretary RFK Jr. was sharing privileged information with Loomer — a pointed reference to Loomer's past accusation that he drove his wife to suicide.
