Republicans in Congress have a contentious couple of weeks coming up as infighting over a new spending bill heats up, according to a new report.

The Hill reported on Sunday that Republicans are trying to pass a new funding bill for the Department of Defense as a third GOP-only bill through reconciliation, the same process they used to pass President Donald Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" last year. But the move is putting Republicans at odds with one another, and is being further complicated by Trump's shifting priorities, the report added.

A recent interview of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent a long-time GOP pollster into a tailspin on Sunday.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, reacted to Graham's interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday, where he claimed that Sen. Bill Cassidy's (R-LA) primary loss was a good thing for the Republican Party, during a new episode of the "Bulwark Takes" podcast with Sam Stein, The Bulwark's managing editor. Longwell claimed the interview was "revolting" and showed something truly disturbing about Graham's personality.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche just revealed what's coming next in President Donald Trump's ballot scheme with a searing dog whistle during a Fox News interview on Sunday, according to one analyst.

Blanche joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures," where he claimed, without evidence, that there is "a ton of evidence" that the 2020 general election was rigged against Trump.

Onlookers mocked Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday after she shared a startling monologue during the opening segment of her weekend show, "Sunday Morning Futures."

In the monologue, Bartiromo claimed that her show had been one of the "leading critical journalists" covering government mismanagement, ranging from the "made-up Russia collusion story" that "ripped the country apart" to the "coordinated attack on the American people" by Democrats trying to "hide serious mental incapacitation" of former President Joe Biden.

A Democratic candidate running for office in Colorado called for Gov. Jared Polis to be investigated and impeached after he commuted convicted felon Tina Peters' sentence.

On Friday, Polis announced that he was commuting the sentence of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk who was convicted of nine felonies for her actions to aid President Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 general election. Peters was found guilty of charges related to giving unauthorized people access to her county's voting machines. Peters was unrepentant during her sentencing and was given nine years for her crimes.

President Donald Trump sparked outrage on Sunday after his heavily edited recorded speech played at his national prayer event in Washington, D.C.

Trump addressed the crowd at his "Rededicate 250" event, billed as an effort to highlight "God’s presence in our national life throughout 250 years of American history," according to the event's website. It was held at the National Mall and featured appearances from Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several prominent MAGA and Evangelical Christian figures.

President Donald Trump called for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to be "thrown out of office" on Sunday in a Truth Social post endorsing Massie's primary challenger.

Trump has sought to remake the Republican Party in his image during his second term in office by supporting candidates who run against Republicans who have challenged the president. For instance, Trump endorsed four candidates in Indiana's state primary race who won elections to replace Republicans who voted against Trump's redistricting push. Trump also supported Sen. Bill Cassidy's (R-LA) primary challenger because Cassidy voted to convict Trump during one of his impeachment hearings in his first administration.

Right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas told thousands gathered on the National Mall on Sunday that the Almighty spent two centuries waiting to deliver one Donald Trump so the president could finally build his $400 million ballroom.

"Yes, it's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand," Metaxas said at the taxpayer-backed "Rededicate 250" prayer event. "It's extraordinary. We only had to wait 200 years."

The Republican Party seems to be winning the redistricting wars as the 2026 midterm elections approach, but a legal expert on Sunday compared the GOP's efforts to an own goal that will likely haunt them going forward.

So far, the Republicans have gained about seven seats in Congress through mid-cycle redistricting as states like Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee have redrawn their maps. The Center for Politics at the University of Virginia estimates the party could gain as many as 10 total seats, even as Democrats attempt to counter the GOP's moves with new maps of their own.

A prominent Evangelical reverend stunned political analysts and observers on Sunday with his speech during President Donald Trump's "Rededicate 250" prayer event at the National Mall.

The Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of the late preacher Billy Graham, spoke via a pre-recorded video at the prayer event, describing America as a country that has become "morally rotten" and "completely sick with sin." He mentioned issues like "transgenderism" and "opening women's locker rooms to men" as a couple of examples.

Much has been written about President Donald Trump’s tendency to fudge the truth, with The Washington Post having tracked more than 30,000 individual false or misleading claims made by the president during his first term – but nearly 16 months into his second term, Americans by the millions are largely disregarding Trump’s words entirely, one columnist argued on Sunday.

“Trump’s credibility gap endangers our national security,” wrote attorney, columnist and former television host Alan Scott Bolden in an op-ed published Sunday in The Hill.

Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director turned vocal Trump critic, is offering a window into what he says is President Donald Trump's secret psychological weakness — and it's not what most of the commander-in-chief's critics think.

In a lengthy post on X published Saturday, "The Mooch" argued that observers who can't fathom how Trump rose to the presidency are missing one key thing: they've never been in a room with him.

A U.S. official’s statement to Axios published on Sunday has a number of journalists bracing for impact, several of whom accused the Trump administration of “misleading” the American public in a “deplorable” attempt to “justify” a U.S. invasion of a sovereign nation.

Axios’ report claims that Cuban leaders had recently discussed plans to “attack” the United States and its assets abroad using military drones, with Axios’ Marc Caputo citing an anonymous U.S. official as the source of the claim.
