Fans of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement melted down on Sunday after reality TV personality Spencer Pratt fell out of his second-place spot in Los Angeles's mayoral primary race.

Pratt, who ran as a Republican, had held a strong lead against Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, a Democrat, in the primary race until Sunday. The Los Angeles Times reported that mail-in ballots were the key reason why Raman was able to make such a large comeback, and the trend seems likely to continue as the state allows mail-in ballots to be counted for several days following an election.

President Donald Trump is planting a bomb that is sure to explode in Republicans' faces during the midterms as he seeks to get Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed for the full AG role, according to one long-time GOP pollster.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, argued during a new episode of her podcast, "Illegal News with Sarah Longwell," that confirming Blanche as Attorney General could be difficult because of the Republicans' narrow majority in the Senate. She added that Blanche's confirmation may spark a bitter intra-party fight among Republicans over some of the baggage Blanche is bringing.

Markwayne Mullin may have been brought in to straighten out the Department of Homeland Security following former Secretary Kristi Noem's tenure, but a new report shows that Mullin may be more of the same, according to one legal expert.

The Independent reported in late May that Mullin regularly uses a controversial $70 million Gulfstream jet to fly home to Oklahoma on Thursdays and doesn't return to work until Monday afternoon, meaning he works at most three days a week in Washington, D.C. The aircraft includes a queen bed, a bar, and showers, according to the report. It was one of nine jets the Trump administration approved to purchase with funds meant for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it added.

Iranian officials involved with the peace negotiations between the regime and the United States said on Sunday that the peace deal with President Donald Trump is "no longer feasible" following the latest round of attacks, MS NOW's Inzamam Rashid reported on "The Weekend: Primetime."

"An Iranian official linked with the talks between the U.S. and Iran has sent me a message this evening — and remember, it's early in the morning out here in the region — and they've said to me that a deal with President Trump is no longer feasible at this stage," Rashid reported.

President Donald Trump seems to be eagerly ignoring a major political problem right under his nose, according to one political analyst.

David Pakman, host of the liberal "David Pakman Show" on YouTube, said in a new reaction video on Sunday that Trump's handling of the U.S. economy could come back to bite him and the Republican Party as the midterms approach. Pakman argued that the economy was the central reason why so many people voted for Trump in the first place, and his seeming reluctance to acknowledge the economic challenges many Americans face could prove disastrous.

President Donald Trump appears to be scrambling for a peace deal to end the war in Iran, but some of the president's "massive failures" are preventing that deal from materializing, according to one analyst.

Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday about finding a way to deescalate tensions between Iran and Israel. The call happened after Iran fired multiple missiles into civilian areas of Israel for the first time since the war started in late February.

A Democratic Senator revealed the horrifying conditions inside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark, New Jersey, during a new interview with Mother Jones.

Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) visited ICE's Delaney Hall over the weekend, where he was given a guided tour of the facility. Inside, Kim said he witnessed women trying to get one of their friends help while the person was having a medical episode. Kim added that the guards at the facility seem to have little regard for the rights of the immigrants who are locked up there.

MS NOW's Alex Witt was stunned on Sunday after a former Florida state attorney flagged President Donald Trump's latest insider-dealing scheme.

Trump's Department of Justice has been working to establish what it's calling an "anti-weaponization" fund to pay claims from people who say they were wrongfully prosecuted by the federal government. Last week, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ was not moving forward with the fund, but Trump directly contradicted that statement on Sunday by telling NBC News's Kristen Welker that he believes people who were prosecuted for rioting on Jan. 6, 2021 should be paid.

Fans of the New York Knicks are telling President Donald Trump, who once called New York his home, to "stay home" instead of attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, according to a new report.

MS NOW's Laura Haefeli spoke with several Knicks fans in New York on Sunday after it was announced that the team's watch party was canceled because of Trump's attendance at the game. The Knicks, in conjunction with the New York Police Department and the Secret Service, decided to cancel the event, which was scheduled to be held near Madison Square Garden. Instead, the parties will be held in Central Park and in Brooklyn, miles away from the arena.

President Donald Trump may have sunk his standing with Republicans heading into the midterm season after he bullied Kristen Welker of NBC News on Sunday morning, according to one analyst.

Welker interviewed Trump in Wisconsin for "Meet the Press," where the two discussed the ongoing war in Iran, the Trump administration's $1.776 billion so-called "anti-weaponization fund," and the upcoming 2026 midterm election. During the interview, Trump became combative when Welker challenged his assertions about who could receive payments from the weaponization fund. The president became so angry that he abruptly ended the interview and stormed off set.

President Donald Trump was torched on Sunday over what critics labeled his “embarrassing” outburst with NBC News’s Kristen Welker, an outburst that preceded the president ending the interview and storming off.

Aired earlier on Sunday, Trump was pressed by Welker on his false claims of the 2020 election being “rigged.” Trump responded by raising his voice, attacking the media, and declaring the interview to be over before standing up and leaving.
