🚨BREAKING TONIGHT: A massive change in U.S. immigration policy.
The Trump administration has announced that any noncitizens in the country who have applied for a green card must leave the United States indefinitely.
WATCH: "We’ve heard this before—we’re on the cusp of a deal... But I think it’s important that we finish what we started here. Just any deal to end the war doesn’t mean that we have won the war. We must win, because I think if we don’t win, Iran comes out of this stronger. If they can close the strait up and wait out the West and count on us not having the patience to see things through, they’ll come out of here in a stronger place." @jasonrileywsj
With President Trump signaling a potential breakthrough by Saturday, the panel details why a rushed agreement that fails to dismantle Iran's nuclear program or curb Hezbollah's rocket attacks is a dangerous proposition for long-term global stability.
MEDICAID FRAUD PROBE: "If Democrats vote 'no,' it’s a hard vote to explain."
Following a highly charged hearing tracking a multi-state Medicaid fraud ring across Ohio and Minnesota, House Republicans are forcing the opposition's hand with a series of targeted anti-fraud enforcement bills. With four Democrats already breaking ranks to pass the first child care oversight measure today, the GOP is dialing up the pressure on vulnerable swing-district lawmakers. @ChadPergram reports.
🚨 SCOTUS UPDATE: The Supreme Court clears the way for Alabama to use its Republican-backed congressional map for the midterms. The ruling is a major win for House Republicans, expected to secure the party an additional seat in November. @johnrobertsFox reports.
🚨 SENATE MAP SHIFT: Democrats lock in their nominee for the crucial Iowa Senate seat left vacant by retiring GOP Sen. Joni Ernst. With the primary delivering a rare setback for a Trump-backed candidate, the battle for chamber control just heated up. @johnrobertsFox reports.
🚨WATCH: "I worked in this business more than half a century... I never thought myself some great guardian of journalistic integrity. I have never had a problem finding a way to do the work in a way that would please me and please whatever boss I had." — @brithume
Brit Hume sounds off on reports of a tense staff meeting at '60 Minutes' with @johnrobertsFox calling out the high-profile correspondents led by Scott Pelley:
"These 60 Minutes correspondents... think that they are the guardians of journalistic integrity. They’re stars on the show, but it’s worth remembering how that show works... Those shows are producer-driven."
🚨 WATCH: House immigration hearing goes completely off the rails as DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin and committee Dems trade shouts of "shut up!" Hidden under the chaos: Mullin testified the border wall is on track to stretch Pacific-to-Gulf by next year. @BillMelugin_ brings us the latest from Washington.
🚨 CALI PRIMARY FALLOUT: Results could take weeks to settle. Early counts show Trump-backed Steve Hilton leading Xavier Becerra for Governor, L.A. Mayor Bass heading to a runoff against an undecided #2, and Independent Kevin Kiley leading a newly redrawn district. @MattFinnFNC breaks down the breaking details.
Filling in for @BretBaier on @SpecialReport tonight. @brithume weighs in on the recent turmoil at @CBSNews
Three things I have learned in my life.
1) no employee is bigger than the corporation
2) we are all just 'penciled in'
3) the graveyards of America are filled with people who 'couldn't be replaced'
WATCH: "We also need to look ourselves in the mirror and say how we win has to matter."
@JohnWMcCarthy reacts to the high-stakes political math unfolding in Maine's Senate primary. A fascinating debate on the panel tonight over the Maine Senate race. With a cloud of negative headlines hovering over frontrunner Graham Platner, top D.C. Democrats are still backing him to win a crucial seat.
🚨 BREAKING: Acting AG Todd Blanche confirms the DOJ's "anti-weaponization fund" is dropped permanently. The move ends the controversial program but opens a path for GOP lawmakers to redirect funds to ICE & CBP. Dem claims of Trump "tax immunity" denied. @davidspunt reports.
BORDER & BUDGET SHOWDOWN: Lawmakers press Homeland Security Sec. Markwayne Mullen on budget and enforcement readiness. Mullen vows "zero tolerance" for violent anti-ICE protests in NJ, citing reports of officers being bitten and assaulted. 61 arrests reported in Newark. @johnrobertsFox reports.
IOWA VOTES: No clear frontrunner as Dems Josh Turek & Zach Wahls compete to challenge GOP’s Ashley Hinson for Senate. Wahls targets Schumer from the left, while Turek boasts Buttigieg/Harkin support. Plus, a major test for Trump's backing in the GOP Gov race. @Grady_Trimble has the latest from Iowa as the polls close at 9PM ET.
LA MAYORAL SHAKEUP: The polls are hitting the home stretch in the Golden State, where voter fury over homelessness, crime, and affordability has fueled a slate of highly volatile races.
Progressive strongholds are facing major structural tests tonight. In LA, Karen Bass is fighting off a surprise challenge from Spencer Pratt, while the race to succeed Nancy Pelosi is serving as a pure ideological litmus test for the left. Plus, the GOP looks to force a flip in the governor's race.
🚨 NEW: Fox’s @BritHume praises Spencer Pratt’s bid for L.A. mayor: “Pratt has run a pretty imaginative campaign with some extraordinarily well done ads produced by AI and he’s got a great slogan which is ‘look around!’”
“When that’s your slogan you know people are susceptible to thinking the conditions around them are pretty poor. That’s going to be a very interesting race. It’s a very blue place and it’d be amazing if Pratt were to win it.”
WATCH: "Partisanship is the most viral thing in the world. Not even just profit. It’s notoriety. It’s how you get the clicks." @DashaBurns
As leaders like Doug Burgum argue America's milestone shouldn't be partisan, the Special Report panel tackles a harsh reality. From warnings that celebrations have become a "political rally for MAGA" to defenses of simple patriotism ("Family, friends, veterans, fireworks"), the team breaks down why unity struggles to compete in a media landscape designed for division.
🚨"WE ARE 8 WEEKS INTO A TWO WEEK CEASEFIRE.":
@Reince says Middle East diplomacy "doesn't happen by a light switch—it's a dimmer." He describes the President as "the juggler on center stage with 10 bowling balls," balancing Israel, Hezbollah, domestic public opinion, and key nuclear terms all at once.
"Whether you like it or not, the President has this invincibility complex and he knows he has defied the odds time and time again. No one has been able to do this in Iran and he really thinks he is the guy who can." @DashaBurns
"I think he really wants to outdo Obama. I think he has derided the Obama deal and said it was a bad deal... He really thinks that just by pressuring the Iranians he can get them to agree to more than they gave Obama." @TheJuanWilliams
WATCH: "Oftentimes the President does use these brief phone calls with the media to send signals to folks overseas."
Following a whirlwind 24 hours, @DashaBurns breaks down the "whiplash" surrounding potential Middle East negotiations. While the White House eyes an Iran deal "over the next week" if they can lock down "a few more points," surprise discussions with Hezbollah are adding intense complications at "such a fragile time in the ceasefire."
WATCH: "Candidates can weather scandals that would have submerged them a long, long time ago."
With reports that embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner allegedly messaged up to 12 women, @brithume says the candidate carries "a whole railcar" of baggage. But in a political era where the old rules no longer apply, can he survive it? Brit Hume and @johnrobertsFox debate the reality of modern campaigns.
WATCH: "When that’s your slogan, you know people are susceptible to thinking the conditions around them are pretty poor."
@brithume analyzes why Karen Bass is losing traction to an independent challenger utilizing "extraordinarily well done" AI-produced ads and a potent two-word message: "Look around."
Even in a "very blue place" where only "17% of voters... are Republicans," the massive pool of independent voters could change everything.
MAINE SENATE CRUNCH: Maine Dem Senate candidate Graham Platner faces heavy fire over allegations he sexted a dozen women while married. Despite calling the leaks "media gossip," Platner faces a tense trip to D.C. tomorrow to answer to nervous party leaders. @EricShawnTV reports.
