Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) revealed Friday that House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee voted to make themselves eligible to collect from President Donald Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund, triggering immediate outrage online.

Levin took to X to announce that he had introduced an amendment to block members of Congress, the president, and the vice president from collecting any money from the controversial fund unless a court specifically orders it. Every Republican on the committee voted against his amendment, according to his video.

President Donald Trump confirmed Friday afternoon what set off hours of online speculation, posting to Truth Social with an Oval Office statement about a major foreign policy development.

In the post, Trump said he had spoken with a long list of Arab and Muslim world leaders about a possible peace agreement involving Iran.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) turned heads on Saturday after openly questioning why the U.S. war against Iran "started to begin with,” despite having personally lobbied for the United States to launch it.

Graham’s remarks come amid reports that President Donald Trump – who Graham notably didn’t name in his comments – is “close to a deal to end the war” with Iranian officials, according to a claim from Axios’ Barak Ravid on Saturday. The prospect of a deal appeared to trouble Graham, however, at least without first crippling Iran's military capacity beyond the point of recovery.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a “last-minute” commencement speech Saturday in New York to West Point graduates, during which he made the startling admission that the Trump administration could very well be sending those graduates “to war,” and soon.

“Now, today, we are going to send you – we're sending you to lead, we're sending you to forge warriors, and we're sending you – perhaps – to war,” Hegseth told the nearly 1,000 West Point graduates.

President Donald Trump went on the attack Saturday morning with eyes on a fresh target: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who he labeled a “Dumocrat” and a “lying sleazebag,” but was soon hit back with a scathing rebuke from the California Democrat.

Posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump’s attack on Khanna included an image that appeared to have been created with generative artificial intelligence that depicts the California Democrat with vampire-like fangs, wearing horns and a sheep skin, while also clutching dollar bills.

Brought on to discuss acting Attorney General Todd Blanche using his DOJ position to boost the fortunes of Donald Trump, the president’s niece lashed out at Trump’s kids who are also benefiting.

Speaking with MS NOW host Ali Velshi, psychologist Mary Trump attempted to explain why Blanche is gaming the system for his boss, particularly by approving a sweetheart deal that blocks the IRS from reviewing tax filings that Trump, his family and his associated businesses made in the past.

As President Donald Trump appears to inch closer toward authorizing a major U.S. military operation this weekend, renowned international security expert Robert Pape warned the president on Saturday that he may very well be walking directly into what he called “the biggest trap yet.”

Reporting suggests that the Trump administration is actively preparing to launch a new wave of strikes against Iran, and officially end the ongoing but weak U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The president teased a full U.S.-takeover of Iran Saturday morning, and later said there was a “solid” chance he decides to blow Iran “to kingdom come” by Sunday.

Appearing on MS NOW on Saturday morning, the New York Times' Glenn Thrush claimed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has no one to blame but himself as he gets battered by Democrats, Republicans and in the press as he does Donald Trump’s bidding.

And it shows in his face, he noted.
