The 79-year-old president declared Wednesday night that Operation Epic Fury was nearly complete but indicated military operations would intensify over the “next two to three weeks," but he offered conflicting objections and insisted spiking fuel prices were temporary, and GOP strategists told Politico he had not given them much to work with for their candidates.

Republicans warned to anticipate 'absolute disaster' as core group abandons GOP: analyst

The Republican Party already has a fight on its hands for the 2028 election as a core voter group looks set to abandon the party.

Analysts warned the GOP that their security ahead of the next presidential election is unsure at best, with a major demographic set to drop out of voting for either party. While it may be unlikely that the Democratic Party sees a rise in voting numbers, it does mean the GOP will see a reduction in theirs, according to Hanna Rosin and Elaine Godfrey.

CNN's John Berman flagged a Republican congressman for seemingly contradicting President Donald Trump's claims about his objectives in the Iran war.

Trump's obsession with 'stuff blowing up' videos alarms national security experts

National security experts were concerned that President Donald Trump has ignored important briefings and instead prefers to watch videos of explosions from the Iran war, according to an analyst on Thursday.

Salon's Chauncey DeVega described how Trump has started to treat the war — which has killed 13 American troops and nearly 1,500 Iranians — as entertainment. In the past, presidents have sought information from daily security briefings. Trump, however, has not followed this method.

'Fidgeting' Trump had to be moved during Supreme Court hearing: ACLU attorney

Donald Trump’s unprecedented appearance at the Supreme Court encompassed both a request that his seat be moved and the reported inability of the president to hold still while lawyers made their case before the nation’s highest court.

Appearing on MS NOW with host Jonathan Lemire, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero stated the president sat right in front of him, so he had a ringside seat to watch the president react to arguments over his attempt to override the 14th Amendment on birthright citizenship.

Nobel Prize winner pinpoints 'radically disappointing' moment that'll mark Trump's legacy

Donald Trump has tainted his own second term in the Oval Office with one move this year, a Nobel Prize winner has warned.

Paul Krugman believes the longer-term effects of the war with Iran will not just undermine the president's decision-making in future, but that his attitude toward NATO members and allied nations has destroyed what little legacy the president could cling to. Speaking in a video uploaded to his Substack, the award-winning economist noted the problem with the Iran war is not just the war itself, but the ongoing economic impact and erosion of relations with the United States' allies.

Trump claims GOP 'unified' on plan to bypass Dems on ICE funding: 'I will sign an order'

President Donald Trump thanked Republican congressional leaders for standing down on the funding bill that would have ended the partial government shutdown — instead moving away from the bipartisan legislation and extending the ongoing stalemate.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune had agreed on Wednesday to move forward with the bill but had reversed their decision by early Thursday. Now, Republicans have rejected the Senate’s bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, according to The New York Times.

Trump officials 'across the board' rip his Iran speech: 'Like listening to Joe Biden'

President Donald Trump drew scathing reviews from his own administration officials for his listless prime time address on the Iran war.

The 79-year-old president insisted military objectives would be accomplished “shortly, very shortly” and promised surging gas prices would “rapidly come back down" when the conflict ends, which he suggested was two to three weeks away, but Zeteo spoke with administration officials who were not impressed with the 19-minute speech.

'Going to be much harder' for Trump as his Supreme Court leverage collapses: court insider

Donald Trump's remarkable winning streak at the Supreme Court is collapsing. After dominating the high court throughout his first year in office, the president is now facing serious resistance from the justices — and it's only going to get worse.

According to Politico, recent developments paint a grim picture for the Trump administration's legal agenda as he enters his lame duck years. The Court delivered "a stinging defeat over his tariff policy" and Wednesday's oral arguments on his birthright citizenship executive order were so hostile that "another loss may be looming."

Trump's legal dominance during 2025 appeared absolute. The administration won nearly all of the roughly 30 emergency appeals filed with the high court, spanning issues from immigration enforcement to mass federal employee firings to the abrupt termination of billions in federal grants and contracts.

But that winning streak is now visibly fracturing. Beyond the tariff defeat and the likely impending birthright citizenship setback, the Court has already rejected Trump's attempt to use the National Guard to control anti-ICE protests. The perception that "Trump has the court firmly in his pocket" is crumbling.

Legal experts explain what's happening: Trump's legal team was strategically selective.

Roman Martinez, who clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, laid out the reality bluntly: "If you just look at the win-loss tracker, yes, it was pretty good for the administration over much of 2025, but the sample set was not a random selection of cases. It was the set of cases that President Trump's legal team chose to take up to the court. And those lawyers were savvy and selective, choosing to appeal the cases where their position was inherently stronger."

The dynamic is now shifting in a direction that terrifies the Trump legal team. "It's going to be much harder and the administration is going to win some, but they're also going to lose some," Martinez said.

As the Court transitions from fast-moving emergency appeals to more time-intensive regular case proceedings, Trump faces mounting resistance from the justices. The administration will no longer be able to rely on expedited processes that favored quick victories.

Solicitor General John Sauer has publicly acknowledged the looming difficulty. "Who's going to argue all these cases…?" he joked at a judges' conference last September, describing the "terrifying" prospect of full arguments on all the emergency cases in which Trump racked up easy wins during his early months in office.
