WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate advances bill aimed at ending Iran war after GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, defeated in primary, switches to support it.

BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie loses his GOP primary in Kentucky to Ed Gallrein, NBC News projects, in another victory for President Trump as he targets dissenters in his party. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-…

Trump's Texas fallout --> "It saddened me," Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., told Semafor of Trump’s decision to back Paxton. "I don't know what you can complain about on John Cornyn ... probably no senator that has done more to support other Republican senators. And I don't know anything that he's done that's offensive in a significant way to the president" "I don't understand it," said Sen. Collins "This puts that seat in jeopardy," said Sen. Murkowski Graham estimates seat will cost 3 times more to defend Marshall says "of course" he still backs Cornyn: "Still digesting" the news Cornyn's sin was saying Republicans can "do better" than Trump in 2023 and hoping for a different 2024 nominee. This was not an outlier view at the time -- in fact he was probably speaking for many members. But Trump won and it immediately clouded Cornyn's run for leader Trump's move is likely going to cost the GOP one of its best fundraisers and make TX more expensive w/ Paxton. It's all "good news" for Democrats, says Sen. Heinrich “There’s just a lot more negative on Paxton. You think of the baggage he brings to the race. Everybody recognizes it … it’s definitely a better story for Talarico than if he’s running against Cornyn"


3 days after Trump helped to defeat him in a GOP primary, Sen. Bill Cassidy R-LA returns the favor by voting with Democrats to end the Iran war.

Susan Collins says she “doesn’t understand” Trump’s decision to back Paxton, who she called “ethically challenged.”

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's deleted Reddit account reveals graphic posts about masturbating in portable toilets and praising explicit military restroom graffiti — the latest in a growing trail of vulgar comments that could define his race against Susan Collins. Platner has dismissed past controversies as 'joking' and 's***posting,' but GOP strategists say the pattern raises fundamental questions about his judgment and fitness for office. He became Democrats' presumptive nominee after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out last month.
