GOP defections from Trump start to pile up: From the Politics Desk
Welcome to From the Politics Desk, a daily newsletter that brings you the NBC News Politics team's latest reporting and analysis from the White House, Capitol Hill and the campaign trail. In today's edition, we round up the latest examples of GOP candidates breaking with President Donald Trump. Plu
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is leaving the Department of Homeland Security
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, who oversaw the agency during tumultuous immigration crackdowns, is leaving his post next month, the head of the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. "Thanks to his leadership, American communities are safer," Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. "We wish him luck on his next opportunity in the private sector." Lyons' last day will be May 31, Mullin said. He did not say why Lyons is leaving. Lyons has been the acting head during ICE’s controversial mass immigration crackdowns that targeted Democratic-run cities during the Trump administration. The crackdowns generated outrage and furious protests in the cities where they were conducted, and federal agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis this year. President Donald Trump appointed Lyons acting director in March 2025, succeeding Caleb Vitello, who was reassigned. He appointed Mullin, a U.S. senator from Oklahoma and political ally, last month after he fired Kristi Noem. The Senate confirmed Mullin on March 23. Trump promised large-scale deportations of people in the country illegally during his presidential campaign, but the mass crackdowns angered some who said agents were sweeping up long-standing residents rather than violent criminals. At a congressional hearing in February, Lyons said ICE made 379,000 arrests during the first year of the Trump administration and removed over 475,000 people from the U.S. Lyons declined at the hearing to apologize for the fatal shootings of the two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed in separate incidents in Minneapolis in January. White House border czar Tom Homan said Thursday that under Lyons’ leadership, “ICE achieved a record number of removals in the first year of this Administration, despite unprecedented challenges.” “I commend him for a distinguished law enforcement career and the countless contributions he has made to protect our country and advance its interests,” Homan said in an emailed statement. White House adviser Stephen Miller, an immigration hard-liner, said in a statement: “Todd is a phenomenal patriot and dedicated leader who has been at the center of President Trump’s historic efforts to secure our homeland and reverse the Democrats’ sinister border invasion.” Mullin did not say in his statement who will lead ICE.

House effort to end Trump's war with Iran fails by one vote
WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House voted Thursday to reject a resolution ordering President Donald Trump to end the war with Iran. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The vote was 213-214, almost entirely along party lines, as Republicans overwhelmingly stick with Trump, refusing to slap guardrails on his military campaign. Just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted for it, while one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted against it. Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, who previously voted to end the Iran war, voted “present.” Three Republicans did not vote. The measure, proposed by Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., “directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” with exceptions for extreme cases under the War Powers Resolution, “unless explicitly authorized” by Congress. FORSUBSCRIBERS 00:0000:00 China's stake in Iran war increases as blockade takes effect 02:09 “Donald Trump has dragged the American people into a war of choice, launched without congressional authorization. The president has no coherent strategy, and this open-ended, undefined military engagement is precisely what the War Powers Resolution was designed to restrain,” Meeks said on the floor before the vote. “Every day we delay, we inch closer to a conflict with no exit ramp.” In recent days, Trump has been embroiled in a public spat with Pope Leo XIV over his criticism of the Iran war. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., sided with Trump in that clash. “A pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want, but obviously if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response,” Johnson told reporters Wednesday. “And I think the pope’s received some of that.” “The stakes that are so high in the situation that we’re facing,” Johnson said, calling Iran “the largest sponsor of terrorism.” On March 5, just days after the U.S.-Israel strikes that launched the war, the House failed to advance a measure to end it by a vote of 212-219. The vote comes as recent national polls show the public does not support the war. A recent CBS News poll found that 60% of Americans disapprove of the U.S. military action in Iran. The survey found that 64% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the situation, while 62% believe Trump doesn’t have a clear plan. There is also economic fallout. Gas prices have risen since the war began, and the rising costs of diesel and fertilizer have fueled fears of political fallout among Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Those factors may also sway GOP votes on future war powers measures. The House vote Thursday came one day after the Senate voted 52-47 to reject a similar measure, with nearly every Republican voting to allow Trump to continue his military campaign in Iran without restraints, and all but one Democrat voting to end it.

Senate Republicans again block Democratic effort to end Trump's Iran war
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans voted down a resolution Wednesday pushed by Democrats to prohibit President Donald Trump from taking further military action in Iran. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The vote was 47-52, largely along party lines. Once again, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to vote for the measure and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was the only Democrat or independent to vote against it. (Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., missed the vote.) It was the latest instance of Republicans rejecting attempts to end the war or rein in Trump’s authority to act without congressional approval. While Trump has said for weeks he wants the war to wrap up soon, there is no clear end in sight. The measure, offered by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., says: “Congress hereby directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force." FORSUBSCRIBERS 00:0000:00 How we know what's going on in the Strait of Hormuz 01:50 Despite the vote, some Republicans have indicated they will be less deferential to Trump once the war hits 60 days, which will come at the end of April. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires presidents to get congressional approval for military action that goes beyond 60 days. “We’ve got to start answering questions,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said. “The 60-day target is what I’m looking at.” Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, who is usually a reliable vote for Trump’s agenda, wrote in his local paper, the Deseret News: “I will not support ongoing military action beyond a 60-day window without congressional approval. I take this position for two reasons — one is historical, and one is constitutional.” Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has also expressed misgivings about the Iran war and floated a resolution that would give Trump limited authorization to use military force. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed to keep forcing votes on ending the Iran war, which are privileged and don’t require the consent of Republican leaders to get to the floor. “We will bring these resolutions to the floor every week,” Schumer told reporters Tuesday. “Our troops deserve a mission, not a mess. They deserve a strategy, not chaos. Now, Republicans have a choice. Stand with our troops or keep them in harm’s way without a plan, stand up as a senator or rubber-stamp Trump’s disastrous and failed war policies.” A recent CBS News poll found that 40% of Americans approve of the U.S. taking military action in Iran, while 60% disapprove. The survey found widespread disapproval and distrust of Trump’s handling of the situation. Gas prices have risen since the war began, and the rising costs of diesel and fertilizer have driven economic concerns in the U.S. That has fueled fears of political fallout among Republicans, which could impact their votes on future war powers measures. “I hope we’re getting closer to having this be over. I think we need an exit strategy that will bring down energy prices in this country, quickly. They’re very high. Very, very high,” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said. “I heard about it constantly while I was at home. Gas prices in Missouri are a little bit cheaper than they are here, but they’re very expensive. And an exit strategy that will be good for our national security and preserve our security.” Hawley said the 60-day window gives the president some latitude to take military action without Congress, adding: "We’re a few weeks off from that, but not too far.” But other Republicans, like Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., say Trump can act without their approval for as long as he sees fit. Johnson also signaled openness to a U.S. military ground presence, while saying it doesn’t need to be “massive.” “If it requires some special ops to help the Iranian people take over their government, I wouldn’t be opposed to that,” he said. “Unconditional surrender, this regime has to be ended.” Adblock test (Why?)

Gas prices have risen since the war began, and the rising costs of diesel and fertilizer have driven economic concerns in the U.S. That has fueled fears of political fallout among Republicans, which could impact their votes on future war powers measures. “I hope we’re getting closer to having this be over. I think we need an exit strategy that will bring down energy prices in this country, quickly. They’re very high. Very, very high,” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said. “I heard about it constantly while I was at home. Gas prices in Missouri are a little bit cheaper than they are here, but they’re very expensive. And an exit strategy that will be good for our national security and preserve our security.” Hawley said the 60-day window gives the president some latitude to take military action without Congress, adding: "We’re a few weeks off from that, but not too far.” But other Republicans, like Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., say Trump can act without their approval for as long as he sees fit. Johnson also signaled openness to a U.S. military ground presence, while saying it doesn’t need to be “massive.” “If it requires some special ops to help the Iranian people take over their government, I wouldn’t be opposed to that,” he said. “Unconditional surrender, this regime has to be ended.” Adblock test (Why?)
Senate Republicans again block Democratic effort to end Trump's Iran war
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans voted down a resolution Wednesday pushed by Democrats to prohibit President Donald Trump from taking further military action in Iran.

Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to vote for the measure and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was the only Democrat or independent to vote against it. (Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., missed the vote.) It was the latest instance of Republicans rejecting attempts to end the war or rein in Trump’s authority to act without congressional approval. While Trump has said for weeks he wants the war to wrap up soon, there is no clear end in sight. The measure, offered by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., says: “Congress hereby directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force."

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires presidents to get congressional approval for military action that goes beyond 60 days. “We’ve got to start answering questions,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said. “The 60-day target is what I’m looking at.” Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, who is usually a reliable vote for Trump’s agenda, wrote in his local paper, the Deseret News: “I will not support ongoing military action beyond a 60-day window without congressional approval. I take this position for two reasons — one is historical, and one is constitutional.” Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has also expressed misgivings about the Iran war and floated a resolution that would give Trump limited authorization to use military force. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed to keep forcing votes on ending the Iran war, which are privileged and don’t require the consent of Republican leaders to get to the floor. “We will bring these resolutions to the floor every week,” Schumer told reporters Tuesday. “Our troops deserve a mission, not a mess.

Here's the biggest news you missed this weekend
Negotiators from Washington and Tehran left Pakistan on Sunday without a peace agreement and are facing the potential for a return to fighting. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. “We were negotiating in good faith,” Vice President JD Vance said. “We leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We’ll see if the Iranians accept it.” With just eight days remaining in the current ceasefire, the failure to find a more permanent agreement in Islamabad raises the prospect of a return to a war that saw President Donald Trump threaten to wipe out an entire civilization, with the death toll already in the thousands and the impacts rippling through the global economy. Hours after the talks ended, Trump on Truth Social said he instructed the U.S. Navy to begin a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, accusing Iran of trying to extort vessels for passage. The president had previously criticized Iran for blocking the critical oil shipping chokepoint.

Viktor Orbán concedes election defeat in a blow to Hungary's far right Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán speaks during a campaign rally Friday in Szekesfehervar.Sean Gallup / Getty Images Orbán, whose right-wing policies toward universities drew praise from Vice President JD Vance, signaled defeat Sunday as he spoke to supporters in Budapest, saying the election result is clear and it is painful for his party. “The responsibility and possibility of governing was not given to us,” he said. Orbán added that he had congratulated the winning party, and his party, Fidesz, would serve Hungary from the opposition. Magyar posted on Facebook to say Orbán congratulated him. 'Meet the Press' President Miguel Díaz-Canel stood by Cuba’s leadership and didn’t concede a need for any changes to its government amid Trump’s pressure campaign against the communist country. In an interview in Havana with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Díaz-Canel said that if the U.S. launches any military aggression, “there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die.” Moderator Kristen Welker asked Díaz-Canel whether he was willing to commit to responding to demands from the U.S., including releasing political prisoners, scheduling multiparty elections and recognizing unions and a free press. “Nobody has made those demands to us, and we have established that in respect to our political system or constitutional order, these are issues that are not under negotiations,” he answered. Meanwhile, efforts to expel Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, from Congress gained bipartisan steam following separate sexual misconduct allegations against each of them. Swalwell is under investigation in New York over a sexual assault allegation, following reports from multiple women alleging the gubernatorial candidate sexually assaulted or harassed them. Swalwell has denied the allegations. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., told Welker on “Meet the Press” that he would vote in favor of expelling the two lawmakers from Congress if given the opportunity. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash said that expelling Gonzales and Swalwell would send an important message. “This is also important for staffers across the Capitol to see that their bosses don’t get to do this to them,” the congresswoman said.

The 'Vulnpocalypse': Why experts fear AI could tip the scales toward hackers NurPhoto via Getty Images As AI grows more capable of identifying software vulnerabilities, experts are increasingly warning of a potential disaster scenario: the so-called “Vulnpocalypse.” Hackers could quickly turbocharge their attacks with AI technology designed to identify holes in cyber defenses, security researchers warn. Some theorize that the tech could help crash financial systems or lock up hospitals and manufacturing plants. It could help countries like Iran shut down American critical infrastructure. Or it could be used to cause mass system outages affecting travelers or internet users. The concerns come as Anthropic announced that it would withhold its latest AI model, Mythos Preview, from the public, citing unprecedented vulnerability-discovery capabilities that could cause significant damage in the wrong hands.
