WHAT WE'RE WATCHING
🔥 Anti‑ICE suspect identified in NYC attack. Authorities say 43‑year‑old Andrew Arrabaca ignited an incendiary device outside 26 Federal Plaza, home to ICE and other immigration agencies. The FBI says he carried anti‑ICE materials and a sign reading “ICE Off Our Streets.” The device caused a small fire and no mass casualties.
✌️ Young conservatives are “Nixonmaxxing.” A new crop of right-leaning Gen Z influencers is recasting Richard Nixon as an “America First” icon, complete with viral rap edits and sold‑out “Nixonmaxxing” hats. The Nixon Foundation’s social clips have racked up millions of views, with his fans believing that Watergate looks less like disqualification and more like proof of deep-state persecution.
🎬 Biden judge halts Paramount-Warner Bros merger. A federal judge in Oakland temporarily blocked Paramount Skydance’s $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery after California and 11 blue states sued on antitrust grounds. The Trump DOJ had already cleared the deal, but now the pause threatens the September closing deadline.
🚜 47 Republicans push farmworker amnesty bill. Nearly four dozen House Republicans signed onto a bipartisan proposal allowing illegal aliens working in agriculture to obtain H‑2A visas and legal status. The bill would extend visas to three years and shield employers from penalties, reviving tensions inside the GOP over immigration enforcement.
