NEW: Karoline Leavitt tells me DHS is resuming vehicle stops at Trump’s direction. The agency had paused the practice after the deaths of 3 men in ICE encounters in less than a week. She said the rollout of body cameras to all ICE officers has been “slower than we would have hoped” but over half of the force do have body cameras and the remainder are expected within 60 days.

WATCH: I joined Morning Joe to discuss my latest POLITICO reporting that the Trump administration is eyeing an insider in Iran, not Reza Pahlavi, as a potential partner. “We are looking for the Delcy Rodríguez of Iran,” one official told me. The thinking: avoid regime collapse and instead work with a power broker inside the system, even one tied to the IRGC.

This was a first for me: Instead of quotes, Trumpworld sources sent me memes. What they revealed is that the vibes aren’t great at the White House. The war in Iran, rising costs, and a feud with the Pope are overshadowing the GOP’s midterms message. This is clearly not where Republicans want to be heading towards November. I talked about it all on Morning Joe.

WATCH: White House allies tell me they want to see three things from Trump on Iran: 1. A clear definition of what victory looks like 2. A quick end to the conflict 3. No U.S. boots on the ground There is growing concern that none of those may ultimately happen.

WATCH: I was told in the hours before Trump’s post that negotiations were far more serious than at the start of the war, and more likely to lead to this outcome. But if things don’t go his way in two weeks, he’s already turned the volume all the way up. There’s not much left on the amp. Erin Burnett OutFront

The welcome committee includes PM Netanyahu and co, plus the Witkoff-Kushner duo who were dispatched last week to seal the peace deal. On AF1 POTUS tells me: “The war is over.” PM Netanyahu has yet to speak those same words.

I asked Karoline Leavitt how President Trump is sure that he is making a deal with the people in Iran who can actually implement one. “Anything that they say to us privately will be tested… and if they are not [truthful], the president has laid out the military consequences,” she said. And on how long the president can keep paying TSA workers without action from Congress: “The president can't keep signing … proclamations every time Congress fails to do their job,” she said, accusing Democrats of “holding our country hostage.” POLITICO

👀 “The MAGA base don't want President Trump engaging having these foreign entanglements in places like Iran,” Mercedes Schlapp tells me on CSPAN #Ceasefire just before the overnight strikes. “I think that if the administration moves towards…a more aggressive posture into Iran, I think that that could be detrimental for Republicans going into the midterm elections.”
