Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday publicly attacked the Iran agreement that President Donald Trump is reportedly close to finalizing, comparing it unfavorably to the Obama-era nuclear deal and demanding more aggressive action against Tehran.

In a post on X, the former Trump official from term one took direct aim at the framework that Trump announced from the Oval Office earlier in the day, which would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring in a coalition of Arab and Muslim nations.

Former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, who was famously crushed in a doorway while defending the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, responded with disgust this week to a Republican congressman's claim that the deadly riot was "staged."

Hodges appeared on MS NOW to discuss the Trump-created $1.8 billion slush fund that could compensate January 6 defendants. Asked about a Republican congressman's recent on-camera dismissal of the entire riot as a manufactured event, Hodges did not hold back.

A frequent target of Donald Trump took the same cognitive test that the president keeps bragging about, and came away from it with a major warning for the entire country.

Jim Acosta, the former CNN reporter Trump repeatedly attacked from the White House podium, walked through the Montreal Cognitive Assessment on his show this week. He passed it. He also said no president should ever need to take it.

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.
