Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the state and possibly even the FBI is tracking down Democratic lawmakers who fled to stop the GOP's redistricting plan. We'll talk to two of those lawmakers, State Reps Christian Manuel and Lauren Ashley Simmons, about what's really going down in Texas and what's at stake.
Also... those new tariffs... They just kicked in today, and they're the highest we've seen in modern U.S. history. We're talking record-high import taxes. What that means for your paycheck, your bills, and your business-- Economist Gbenga Ajilore and supply chain expert Jennifer Barbossa will break it all the way down.
And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is spending $10 million to bring back Confederate monuments. Yeah, you heard that right. We'll unpack the politics, the price tag, and the message behind the move.
