- Todd Blanche was confirmed as the next US attorney general in a 50-49 Senate vote early Saturday, ending weeks of controversy; Trump will swear him in Monday.
- Trump said Sunday the US-Iran conflict is now 'like a chess game,' though his full remarks were cut off in the available text.
Why it matters: The 50-49 confirmation — a single-vote margin — signals a sharply divided Senate on Trump's attorney general pick, while his 'chess game' framing of Iran suggests a deliberate, non-confrontational posture in an active standoff.
