Trump News

A Sunday report in The New York Times revealed how the Trump administration is using a key government agency to shut down any efforts to regulate online betting markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket.

According to the Times, the administration has stacked the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with industry insiders who have systematically “mowed down” staffers at the agency who have expressed interest in providing oversight on prediction markets.

President Donald Trump revealed on Saturday that he is mulling a deal that would end his illegal war with Iran, and some hawks within the Republican Party are expressing alarm.

According to a Sunday report in The New York Times, many details of the agreement to end the war remain murky, with the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium up in the air. US and Iranian officials have also given contradictory messages about the proposed deal’s contents, suggesting there is much work still to be done before any agreement is finalized.

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.

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.

Donald Trump took to Truth Social Sunday morning to praise what he called a "much more professional and productive" relationship with Iran — the same country he spent years branding the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

"Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one," Trump wrote, describing ongoing nuclear negotiations as proceeding in "an orderly and constructive manner."

A senior House Democrat predicted this weekend that Republican members of Congress will increasingly distance themselves from Donald Trump once they return home during recess and face their constituents — and he says the signs are already there.

"I think that as Republicans come back home after this recess and hear from their constituents, and as they get past their primaries, more and more will start to break away from Trump and some of his draconian and criminal behavior," Rep. Greg Meeks (D-NY), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told MS NOW on Saturday.

President Donald Trump's niece is publicly mocking the president after he gave a strange answer to a basic question: Was he going to attend his own son's wedding?

Mary Trump, a frequent critic of her uncle, used her Substack newsletter Trump Trolls Trump on Saturday to skewer the president over his response to reporters who asked about Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding to Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas.

Former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, who was famously crushed in a doorway while defending the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, responded with disgust this week to a Republican congressman's claim that the deadly riot was "staged."

Hodges appeared on MS NOW to discuss the Trump-created $1.8 billion slush fund that could compensate January 6 defendants. Asked about a Republican congressman's recent on-camera dismissal of the entire riot as a manufactured event, Hodges did not hold back.
