The FBI said it was investigating a mass shooting that killed three and injured 14 in Austin as a "potential nexus to terrorism."

"Indicators" on the suspect and his vehicle signaled a "potential nexus to terrorism," FBI's San Antonio special agent Alex Doran said during a Sunday press conference.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) rejected critics who claim "you break it, you own it" after President Donald Trump ordered strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader.

"The new Iran, whatever it is, whether it's a cleric or a representative democracy, our goal is to make sure it cannot become, again, the largest state sponsor of terrorism," Graham told NBC's Kristen Welker on Sunday. "That's a win for us."

President Donald Trump faced backlash after at least three U.S. service members were killed following the strikes he ordered on Iran over the weekend.

On Sunday, U.S. Central Command announced that three members of the armed forces had been killed in action during Operation Epic Fury.

An Israeli spokesperson dismissed the alleged deaths of Iranian schoolgirls and the claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a war criminal.

During a press conference near rubble in Tel Aviv on Sunday, reporter Secunder Kermani of Britain's Channel 4 News acknowledged that "Khomeini, the Iranian regime, have clearly done terrible things, particularly to their own people."

Four federal judges in one of the nation's most conservative states are making life miserable for Attorney General Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, issuing a series of sharply critical rulings in unusually blunt language.

According to Politico's Kyle Cheney, West Virginia has only five federal judges. In a state where Donald Trump captured 70 percent of the vote in 2024, four of these judges have forcefully challenged the administration's immigration enforcement operations, surprising observers with their directness and refusal to accept DOJ arguments. The fifth judge, Trump appointee Frank Volk, has not yet ruled on the mass detention policy.

The other four judges have issued a series of adverse rulings in recent weeks, threatening "legal consequences" if the administration and state allies continue detaining individuals in ways the judges have deemed unconstitutional. Those consequences could include civil fines or contempt charges.

The judges, overwhelmed with cases related to immigration enforcement, have used their rulings to issue stark warnings about authoritarianism, often in language they acknowledge exceeds traditional judicial restraint.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin issued a particularly pointed ruling, writing: "Across the interior of the United States, agents of the federal government — masked, anonymous, armed with military weapons, operating from unmarked vehicles, acting without warrants of any kind — are seizing persons for civil immigration violations and imprisoning them without any semblance of due process." Goodwin stated on Friday: "The Government is wrong. Judges in this district have said that over and over and over."

Other judges have issued similarly scathing assessments. U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers, a Clinton appointee, stated the American dream has been "tarnished" by the administration's illegal detentions. U.S. District Judge Irene Berger accused the administration of a "lack of respect for the law" after noting that arrests and detentions have continued despite the four judges' rulings that such actions are illegal.

Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin admitted that President Donald Trump's strikes on Iran were "dangerous" because he left some of the country's "A team" alive.

"Jennifer, there's been a lot of people commenting at the level of intel that the U.S. and especially Israel had prior to this attack, that it's really been impressive," Fox & Friends host Rachel Campos-Duffy argued on Sunday morning. "So they've taken out this leadership."

Saturday Night Live was quick to put together a cold open late Saturday with “Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost reprising his angry Pete Hegseth impersonation, where he first admitted he was pumped about “Operation Epic Fury,” including having it tattooed on his knuckles — and then admitting he was over his head.

With James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump first announcing, “It’s me, Donald Trump, FIFA Peace Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize taker, remember that?” he then continued, ”I launched this attack after me and my board of peace ... we were bored of peace. A little wordplay there, did you catch it?”

As US attacks on Iran continue, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform in the dead of night to menace the country further with a threat that he will ramp up the destruction.

Hours after the president announced that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was dead after the initial attack, the new leadership of the country announced it would respond in kind to continued attacks which set the US president off.

One of President Donald Trump's fiercest loyalists appeared to play a key part in burying the administration's latest scandal, according to two experts.

Last week, it was reported that Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's husband, Shawn DeRemer, had been barred from the agency's office in Washington, D.C., after he was accused of sexually assaulting a female employee. That step is extraordinary in and of itself, but even more so considering that DeRemer has not been charged with a crime.

A military expert flagged the "most troubling" part of President Donald Trump's decision to coordinate an attack on Iran with Israel on Saturday.

Mark Hertling, retired commander of the U.S. Army Europe, argued in a new article for The Bulwark that Trump's "campaign" to bomb Iran's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities has an "apparent gap between strategy and action." That makes it hard for Trump's domestic and international allies to line up behind the decision, he added.

President Donald Trump may have been led to strike Iran alongside Israel by an "unusual pair" of allies, a new report revealed.

The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing four sources familiar with the matter, that Trump's decision to conduct a series of strikes against Iran's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities came at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had been lobbying for the strikes for weeks, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

US Rep. Ro Khanna on Saturday demanded swift action from Congress to stop the Trump administration’s unauthorized military assault on Iran, saying in a video posted to social media that “the American people are tired of regime change wars that cost us billions of dollars and risk our lives.”

“We don’t want to be at war with a country of 90 million people in the Middle East,” said Khanna (D-Calif.), calling on Congress to reconvene for a vote on Monday.
