The Republicans Defying Trump
President Trump could be facing Republican pushback from soon-to-be former senators. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined last night to discuss the group known as the YOLO caucus, and more.
Breaks between the GOP and the president could have a particular effect on the ongoing Iran war, Nancy Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic, said last night. “The idea that we’re starting to see fissures within [Trump’s] own party, I think, potentially gives Iran some leverage in terms of pushing for a deal that is more favorable to them,” she argued. “We’ve seen the president really toggle between trying to end this war as quickly as possible and also get some wide- reaching, headline-grabbing outcome out of it.”
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Dispatch; Annie Linskey, a White House reporter at The Wall Street Journal; Michael Scherer, a staff writer at The Atlantic; and Youssef.

Storm Team4 Forecast: More highs in the 90s, rain chances later
4 things to know about the weather:
- Summer sizzle
- A bit humid Saturday
- Isolated weekend storms
- Cooler early next week
Saturday comes with a steady increase in clouds and a chance for some scattered storms after sunset and into the overnight hours. Rain chances will peak at barely 30% from 9 p.m. Saturday until 7 a.m. Sunday, as a cold front slides through the area.
The cooler air will lag a bit behind the front, so Sunday temperatures will still climb to around 90°. The difference you’ll feel Sunday will be a steady drop in humidity levels, thanks to a northwest breeze.
Much more pleasant weather is still on track for early next week. Monday and Tuesday will both be sunny and seasonably warm, with highs in the low 80s and overnight lows in the 50s for everywhere but the urban centers.
Hotter and more humid weather is expected later next week. No widespread rain is in the forecast, but afternoon storms will be much more common, so spotty drought relief is at least a possibility.
