WHAT WE'RE WATCHING

🇪🇸 Spain deploys military after migrant invasion. Spain deployed its armed forces to the North African enclave of Ceuta after thousands of migrants overwhelmed the border with Morocco, leaving at least 18 dead. The crossings mark one of the largest waves since 2021, with migrants arriving by swimming around coastal barriers and crossing at the Tarajal border area.

🚨 Bombshell Biden tapes reveal he knew about classified docs. Newly released audio shows Joe Biden telling his ghostwriter in 2017 that he found "classified stuff downstairs" and warning him to "be careful with it." The recordings directly contradict the former president’s claims that he never shared classified information. We’ll have more on this story in our Hoax Tracker.

💧 Possible Iranian cyberattack hits 30+ water systems. More than 30 community water systems in Minnesota were targeted in what officials called a "coordinated cyberattack" over the weekend. Investigators say the timing and methods share characteristics with Iranian-linked critical infrastructure attacks.

🍳 RFK Jr. launches a MAHA cooking show. The Health Secretary debuted an online cooking program as part of his "Eat Real Food" initiative, mixing salmon cake recipes with talking points against ultra-processed foods and food industry lobbyists. Kennedy joins Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who launched his own web series earlier this year.
