Senator warns that Trump is 'humiliating' the US by ending war on 'Iran's terms'

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) delivered a scathing assessment of Donald Trump's Iran ceasefire Sunday, welcoming the end of the war while warning that the deal represents a humiliating capitulation to Tehran that leaves the United States weaker than when the conflict began.

"If this deal with Iran is real, I will welcome it because every day this insane war goes on, America gets weaker," Murphy wrote in a detailed thread on X. "But make no mistake: these are Iran's terms. Our nation emerges humiliated."

Trump heading to hospital for third time amid questions about his health: report

Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Walter Reed Medical Center on Tuesday for a medical and dental checkup — his third hospital visit in 13 months — as former White House physicians publicly question the administration's transparency about the 79-year-old president's health, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

Trump previously visited Walter Reed in April 2025 for his annual physical and returned in October for what the White House described as a "scheduled follow-up." The latest visit comes as Trump has appeared at public events with a growing number of bruises and red marks on his hands and neck, and has repeatedly been photographed with visibly swollen ankles.

The Vietnam vets who are fighting Trump in court

Shaun Byrnes did two tours in Vietnam. He had hoped to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery when his time came. Now he's not so sure — and Donald Trump is the reason why.

Byrnes, 83, is one of several Vietnam veterans who have filed suit to stop construction of a 250-foot triumphal arch that Trump wants to build between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. The structure, which resembles Paris's Arc de Triomphe and has been dubbed the "Arc de Trump," would stand more than double the height of the Lincoln Memorial.

Expert says Trump accidentally revealed his Obama ties: 'He doth protest too much'

A veteran foreign policy expert delivered a cutting verdict on Donald Trump's Iran diplomacy Monday, arguing that the president's relentless attacks on Barack Obama's nuclear deal are actually an admission that his own deal looks remarkably similar.

"He doth protest too much," said Richard Haass, the veteran diplomat and foreign policy analyst, responding to Trump's repeated Truth Social broadsides against the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. "The people that are going to note the similarities — neither that agreement nor this one will get Iran out of the nuclear business. It's going to place a ceiling on it."

Trump issues brazen ultimatum to his own Middle Eastern allies

Donald Trump issued a sweeping ultimatum to nearly a dozen Muslim-majority nations Monday morning, threatening to cut them out of his Iran deal entirely if they refuse to simultaneously sign the Abraham Accords — and he did it in a Truth Social post addressed directly to their heads of state.

"If they don't, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention," Trump wrote, in a message that named Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain as countries he expects to sign the Israel normalization agreements as a condition of participating in any broader Iran settlement.

Trump's Memorial Day message takes a dark turn

Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a Truth Social post that managed to honor fallen soldiers and attack Democrats in the same breath.

"Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year," Trump wrote at 6am on the holiday. Memorial Day is traditionally one of the most unifying moments on the American political calendar, a day when presidents of both parties have set aside partisan conflict to honor the men and women who died in service to the country.

Furious Trump names and shames three GOP lawmakers in sprawling early-morning rant

Donald Trump launched a sprawling early-morning attack on Republican critics of his Iran deal Sunday, singling out three GOP lawmakers by name and calling them losers, fools, and sleazebags in a 6am Truth Social post that underscored the growing tension between the president and members of his own party.

Trump took aim at Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who he declared would soon be "out of office." He went after Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who last week lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger. And he saved his sharpest words for Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, whom he called "a major sleazebag who lost in a landslide" after Massie was defeated in his own primary following a series of breaks with the president.

GOP lawmaker bucks Trump over his Senate pick's 'deal' with 'dangerous predator’

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.
