A progressive YouTuber revealed on Sunday the "worst part" of President Donald Trump's seeming absence from the 2026 midterm race for the GOP.

Brian Tyler Cohen said in a new episode of his podcast "No Lie" on Sunday that Trump is not campaigning like he once did, which gives Democrats an opportunity to connect with "regular people." He described the situation as a "huge opening" because Trump's absence is "dragging the rest of his party down with him."

A Democratic lawmaker said on Sunday that her son was pulled over by immigration agents, news that caused the internet to erupt with criticism toward the Trump administration.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) told local news station WCCO in the Twin Cities, a CBS affiliate station, that her son was pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for speeding on Saturday and was asked to prove his citizenship. Her son was able to produce a passport identification, and was let go thereafter, Omar said in the interview.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board warned Republicans that they face a "bruising" primary in Texas after Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) announced her candidacy for the Senate.

Crockett announced her run after the Supreme Court ruled that Texas could use its redrawn electoral map for the 2026 primary. The new map made four Democratic-held Congressional seats, Crockett's included, more competitive for Republicans.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice has been pursuing charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) for allegedly assaulting a federal officer during a protest outside of an immigration facility in Newark, New Jersey, in May.
