A neighborly dispute in rural Kings Colony, Texas, turned nearly fatal on Saturday afternoon, when an active shooter situation triggered a massive law enforcement response and locked down the community.
FBI Director Kash Patel said on social media that officers were responding to shots fired and that he would "update the public as we're able." President Trump was inside the White House at the time.
The shooting at the White House Saturday evening is just the latest act of political violence carried out in President Donald Trump’s orbit in recent weeks.
The gunman was shot by Secret Service officers after firing at them outside a checkpoint, officials said.
A man was shot by US Secret Service agents near the White House on Saturday after he opened fire with a handgun, according to a statement from the agency.
Some of Donald Trump's most vocal supporters are publicly turning on the president over his emerging Iran peace framework, posting attacks that range from disappointment to outright fury.The criticism, which intensified after Trump announced from the Oval Office that an agreement involving the United States, Iran, and a coalition of Arab and Muslim nations was "largely negotiated," has come from MAGA-identified accounts on X who say the reported terms amount to a giveaway.Conservative commentator David Hookstead chimed in with a sharp assessment of the reported terms."If the reported details of the Iran deal are accurate, then it represents a total strategic failure," Hookstead wrote. "Absolutely stunning how poorly this has been managed."@MindysMom2009, an account that tagged Trump officials directly and frequently posts Trump's quotes, responded to that statement, warning that the framework as reported would be a death blow for the movement."MAGA is done," the account wrote, citing the possibility that Iran would retain nuclear capabilities in exchange for lifting sanctions and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.@UltraMaga73, with an explicit MAGA bio, went further."yeah I'm sorry but there is no such f------ thing as a PEACE deal with Iran," the user wrote. "How stupid are we?? Bomb the f--- out of them for good."Ron Strong, who posts as @strong54034 and often criticizes Barack Obama, urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ignore Trump entirely."Bibi, DONT ACCEPT A BAD IRAN DEAL! Stop listening to trump, hes a coward! Finish the iranian scum regime yourself!" Strong wrote.Similar language arose on Trump's post announcing a tentative deal on Truth Social, with self-identified MAGA followers lashing out against it.One of those accounts, @TBoyZ, has recently voiced support for Trump and his allies. TBoyZ responded to Trump with, "Sir, we are being played by all involved! Finish it!!"The pushback joins criticism from former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said the framework was "Not remotely America First."
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.“This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability [to] inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel,” Graham wrote in a social media post on X.“Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability.”Graham was widely mocked back in January after appearing “legitimately depressed” in the wake of Trump’s decision back in January to hold off on striking Iran. In March, it was revealed that Graham had “coached” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on how to convince Trump to bomb Iran.For Graham to now question why the war he lobbied to start was launched “to begin with” caused concern among some onlookers.“Reading Senator Graham's tweets is always really exciting because you really have no idea if you're getting utterly sycophantic sane washing of POTUS, or, entirely accurate and cogent geopolitical analysis,” wrote journalist Matt Gurney in a social media post on X to his more than 52,000 followers.Journalist Chuck Todd noted how Graham was “trying so hard not to use the word ‘Trump’” in his remarks, writing in a social media post on X to his nearly 2 million followers, and political commentator Tommy Vietor offered Graham some advice.“File this one under: things you should’ve thought through before starting the war,” Vietor wrote to his nearly 540,000 followers on X.Graham has long been among the most vocal advocates for a U.S. strike on Iran, consistent with his long record of backing military action against other nations throughout his career, including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mexico, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela, among other nations.Reading Senator Graham's tweets is always really exciting because you really have no idea if you're getting utterly sycophantic sane washing of POTUS, or, entirely accurate and cogent geopolitical analysis. https://t.co/3w29R1Gtoq— Matt Gurney (@mattgurney) May 23, 2026
