After strike on Iran, Trump focuses on his megabill

In his first remarks since Iran attack, Trump pushes his 'big, beautiful bill."

President Donald Trump on Sunday pushed Republicans to get behind his taxation bill that will fund his agenda as the self-imposed Fourth of July deadline approaches.

“Great unity in the Republican Party, perhaps unity like we have never seen before. Now let’s get the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill done,” Trump wrote on social media.

Trump addressed the nation on Saturday night after the U.S. carried out airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facility, which he called "a spectacular military success."

Steve Bannon seen walking into the White House

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon was seen walking into the White House Thursday morning.

Bannon's arrival at the White House comes as he's been vocal about the U.S. not getting involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel.

Moments after entering the West Wing, Bannon posted on social media a video clip of him arguing for negotiations with Iran and economic warfare.

Bannon said on his show, "War Room," "Netanyahu, just finish what you started."

"Our position at the 'War Room' is clear. Iran must never get a nuclear weapon. And Israel is fully capable of finishing what they started," he wrote in the caption.

Trump extends TikTok ban deadline for 3rd time

President Donald Trump announced he signed an executive order Thursday extending the deadline for TikTok's ban.

ByteDance, the parent company of the social media platform, was forced to sell its company or be shut down, by an act of Congress passed last year.

This will be Trump's third time pausing the enforcement of the bipartisan law passed in Congress that gave ByteDance until Jan. 19 to sell TikTok's U.S. operations or be removed from app stores nationwide.

Upon taking office, Trump delayed the ban's enforcement for 75 days before announcing another 75-day extension in April, after a potential deal to sell the app to American owners was curtailed due to Trump's imposition of steep tariffs on Chinese goods.

Intel Committee Democrat says Senate in the dark about Trump’s Iran plan

Sen. Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, expressed alarm Wednesday at the lack of information from the Trump administration about its Iran plan, suggesting even his Republican colleagues are in the dark. He also argued it is "dangerous" for Trump to blow off the intelligence community's assessment suggesting that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon.

“I have no foggy idea what this administration's plans are, or what the foreign policy is vis a vis Iran," Warner said during an interview with CNN. "It's just beyond belief to me."

Warner is a member of the Gang of Eight, the top leaders in the House and Senate along with the chairs and ranking members of the Senate and House intelligence committees who are briefed on classified intelligence matters by the executive branch.

Warner said senators received a briefing on Monday from members of the intelligence community who said they had not received any intelligence suggesting Iran had moved towards developing a more fulsome nuclear weapon.

"And if this president is going to suddenly blow off all of the consensus opinion of the intelligence community? Well, what are these folks’ job? Their job is to speak truth to power, not cook the books. When you cook intelligence, you end up with a war like Iraq, where a president at that point didn't follow the intelligence, and the intelligence was manipulated. I worry that we may be seeing some of that going on," Warner said.

He also noted some of his Republican colleagues aren't clued in on the administration's plans either.

"I don't think a lot of my Republican colleagues, no matter what they've said, have got any sense of idea of what is the plan, what happens after a potential bombing run," Warner said.
