President Donald Trump's focus on his legacy instead of GOP candidates has left Republican insiders expecting a "real punch to the gut" in November.

Trump told reporters recently he doesn't care about the midterms. According to a NOTUS report drawing on more than a dozen Republican lawmakers and officials, his party believes him.

President Donald Trump was captured on video “smiling” Sunday after an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter dropped a shockingly "offensive” and false remark about former First Lady Michelle Obama during the UFC event at the White House, CNN reported.

Mixed martial artist Joshua Hokit, 28, defeated his opponent Derrick Lewis Sunday night at the White House UFC bout, and after his victory, shouted an inflammatory and false claim targeting the former first lady.

A psychologist and author shared a sobering warning about President Donald Trump on Sunday, noting that the president's symptoms appear to be as bad as ever.

Dr. John Gartner, a former assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, argued on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles that Trump appears to be grooming the American public to accept the prospect of what could be his most destructive act yet. That is happening at a time when Trump's symptoms have become so "extreme," according to Gartner, that the president appears to be the sickest individual that Gartner has ever witnessed.

Eric Trump, one of President Donald Trump's sons, was allegedly texting a UFC insider about whether any of the fights on the "UFC Freedom 250" event card were "rigged," according to a new report.

Daniel Cormier, a UFC commentator, shared images on his X account of Trump texting him for information about whether any fighters were injured ahead of their matches, as well as other information he could use to place bets.

President Donald Trump's announcement on Sunday that the U.S. and Iran had reached a new agreement that provides a pathway to ending the more-than 100-day-old conflict was mocked by some political analysts as "insulting."

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had fully authorized the "toll-free" reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a global waterway that accounts for 20% of global energy trade. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has been mediating the talks, posted on X that the agreement "[laid] the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony," which is scheduled for this Friday.

Lawyers in the District of Columbia revealed on Sunday how President Donald Trump's U.S. Attorney in the area has affected their ability to do their work, according to a new report.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has billed herself as a tough-on-crime prosecutor in D.C., but her actions inside the grand jury room have caused headaches for other lawyers in the District, The Washington Post reported. Pirro's pursuit of overtly political cases, like prosecuting a former Justice Department paralegal for assaulting a Border Patrol agent after he threw a sandwich at the officer, and a slew of other cases that have resulted in acquittals or mistrials, have made grand jurors more skeptical of government cases and could lead to more hung juries in the future.

President Donald Trump announced that his administration had reached a "deal" with the Iranian regime that would "reopen" the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global waterway that has been shut down since the early days of the war against Iran.

"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!"

President Donald Trump's lawyers made a big mistake in the president's $10 billion lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, one so big that two legal experts argued on Sunday that it could be evidence of malpractice.

Trump initially sued the BBC in Florida in December 2025, claiming the network defamed him by mischaracterizing the speech Trump made ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. During the speech, Trump told his supporters they needed to "fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," according to a transcript published by NPR.

An elections expert on Sunday flagged the "unforced error" that could determine which political party controls the Senate following the 2026 midterm election.

Democrats have been vying for control of the Senate, as it would give them leverage to potentially convict President Donald Trump if he is impeached after the midterms. The Democrats have said that impeaching the president is their number-one priority following the November election. Trump was impeached twice during his first term, but was not convicted by the Senate in either trial.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was one of the lucky Trump administration officials who was asked to go on the Sunday morning news shows, but things apparently didn't go according to plan, according to some political analysts and observers.

Hegseth joined CBS News' Margaret Brennan on Sunday, where he was asked about the ongoing negotiations between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime to end the war against Iran. President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that the two sides were "so close" to a deal before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved another strike in Beirut, Lebanon. Iran considers Israeli strikes on Lebanon — particularly Beirut — a red line because of its ties to Hezbollah
