Senator flags Trump's 'only way to prevent an even bigger disaster' in Iran

Murphy identified four interconnected crises threatening to spiral out of control.

Iran successfully destroyed a critical Oman oil depot two days ago, demonstrating the vulnerability.

A popular right-wing influencer is claiming that Donald Trump could be "demonically possessed" after the president unleashed a combative Truth Social post declaring that the United States is "totally destroying" Iran.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley directly challenged the Trump administration's tariff policy, arguing that removing tariffs on fertilizer is essential to lowering food prices and increasing crop production.

Architects 'horrified' at Trump admin's new pitch for White House makeover: report

Following the demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make room for President Donald Trump’s ballroom, the Trump administration has its sights set on another key fixture of the historic building, one that left architects and designers “baffled or even horrified,” The Washington Post reported Sunday.

Rodney Mims Cook Jr., who Trump tapped to lead the Commission of Fine Arts, is “proposing” to replace the columns at the White House’s front entrance – known as the North Portico – with more ornate-style Corinthian columns with a more luxurious appearance, a style of architecture Trump has “long preferred,” the Post reported.

Trump's 'odd weekend' amid global turmoil rattles expert: 'We’re seeing him temperamental'

As tensions with Iran escalate, President Donald Trump’s behavior last weekend appeared “chaotic” and “odd,” The Guardian’s Adam Gabbatt noted on Sunday, citing an expert who offered a possible explanation for the president’s “rash behaviors.”

While the Trump administration’s ongoing and widening war against Iran continues to rattle global stability and send “tremors” through the world economy, Trump’s conduct last weekend, Gabbatt argued, appeared strikingly out of step with the gravity of the moment, and to such an extent that it “defied norms and raised eyebrows over his state of mind.”

Experts alarmed as Trump FCC's new 'fascist' move dubbed 'truly extraordinary moment'

Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission under President Donald Trump, stirred outrage when he issued a stark warning to television broadcasters, threatening license revocation for news coverage he characterizes as "hoaxes and news distortions."

Trump just 'walked right into the trap' his predecessors were smart enough to bypass: host

President Donald Trump has stumbled into a geopolitical trap that previous administrations deliberately avoided, according to analysis by political show host David Pakman comparing Trump's approach to Iran with policies pursued by the Obama and Biden administrations.

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that both the Obama and Biden administrations spent years resisting pressure from Israeli leadership to launch preemptive military strikes against Iran. Obama refused repeated calls for action, instead pursuing diplomacy that produced the Iran nuclear agreement. Biden similarly rejected pressure for escalation after the October 7 attacks, reportedly coming within thirty minutes of authorizing a preemptive strike before deciding against it.

Trump ridiculed for 'sending out invitations to WWIII' as he 'pleads' allies for Iran help

President Donald J. Trump spurred a variety of alarmed reactions on Saturday after he asked other countries to help the U.S. with the Iran war amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

"The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way," Trump wrote, before shifting to call for international cooperation. He urged countries reliant on oil transit through the strait to "take care of that passage," promising substantial U.S. assistance and coordination to ensure "everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well." Trump framed the effort as a long-overdue "team" approach that would foster "Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace!"
