With the midterm elections fast approaching in November, outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) issued a bleak prediction for his party’s chances at the ballot box, and laid most of the blame on the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers he argued were overly loyal to the president.

Appearing on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Massie was asked by Kristen Welker whether his defiance to President Donald Trump on pushing for the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, deficit-increasing tax cuts and the U.S. war against Iran was “worth it” given his recent election loss.

Conservative commentator Dave Rubin, who for months has been a top booster of President Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran, was inundated with mockery on Sunday after a viral video exposed months’ worth of his failed predictions about the conflict.

The video, which was posted on social media Saturday, begins with Rubin telling viewers to not listen to any of the prognostications being made by critics of the war, which Trump launched in late February without any authorization from Congress.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced via social media that a negotiated settlement with Iran to end the war had “been largely negotiated," but on Sunday, a foreign policy expert raised doubts about whether the president himself authored the post, and what that may reveal about the ongoing negotiations.

“First of all, there's no misspellings, there [are] no grammatical errors, there are no attempts at humiliating any side. He's got the titles and the names of each of these different world leaders correct,” said Trita Parsi, an Iranian-Swedish writer, political analyst and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, during an appearance on “Breaking Points.”

President Donald Trump has remained defiant amid a wave of criticism from right-wing figures urging him to resume hostilities with Iran and walk away from peace negotiations, but according to Israeli-American academic and podcast host Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, that pressure may be gaining traction.

“I am currently talking to two sources I really respect. They are both telling me that Trump is backing away from the deal with Iran, likely under extreme internal pressure (i.e. Israel and its domestic allies in the US),” Ben-Ephraim wrote in a social media post Sunday on X. “This is a terrifying turn of events.”

As the Trump administration reportedly nears a deal to end the U.S. war against Iran, a wave of criticism from right-wing figures has emerged, and on Sunday, President Donald Trump lashed out at those critics as “losers” who knew “nothing” about the ongoing negotiations.

“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled a war powers resolution from the floor after Democrats secured enough Republican support to pass it, according to Rep. Greg Meeks — a stunning allegation that Johnson personally intervened to prevent Congress from reining in Donald Trump's military campaign against Iran.

"We had the votes to stop this war," Meeks told MS NOW on Saturday. "And he pulled it and said we have to look at voting for it when we get back, after the memorial recess."

Retired General Mike Flynn, one of Donald Trump's most prominent military supporters, issued a dramatic public warning to the president Sunday, urging him to walk away from his Iran nuclear negotiations and accusing the Tehran regime of lying directly to Trump's face.

"Dear Mr. Trump — the regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators. Period, stop," Flynn wrote on X, in an open letter addressed directly to the president and copied to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "Do not believe a word they say."
