A revealing look inside Congress — and a political showdown that’s turning heads.

A packed show today with major developments overseas and serious headlines here at home.

Israeli officials say their latest strike against Hezbollah was even more devastating than previous operations — raising the stakes in an already volatile region. At the same time, new reports suggest Iran is quietly moving millions of barrels of oil through a “dark” offshore network — potentially bypassing U.S. sanctions and reshaping global energy dynamics.

We break down what this means for the region, global markets, and U.S. policy moving forward.

Back here in the United States, Maria Bartiromo pressed Donald Trump on whether additional appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court could be coming — a question that could have major long-term implications for the direction of the country.

In South Carolina, the final weeks of the legislative session are heating up. Lawmakers are facing criticism amid reports that a proposed abortion ban is being used as leverage in negotiations over THC regulations — a move that’s drawing strong reactions on both sides of the debate.

And a heartbreaking story out of Spartanburg — where authorities say an intoxicated illegal immigrant is accused of driving off the road and killing two children riding their bikes. The case is now drawing national attention and raising serious questions about public safety and enforcement.

A fast-moving day on the global stage — and a political firestorm back here at home.

New developments out of Iran suggest a potential breakthrough may still be on the table.

We break down what’s happening behind the scenes and whether a deal is actually within reach.

At the same time, criticism is coming from overseas. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves is blasting Donald Trump over the economic fallout tied to the Iran conflict, calling the strategy a “folly” without a clear exit plan.

Back in Washington, the political drama continues to escalate. Former Congressman Eric Swalwell is facing additional allegations just hours before stepping down from Congress — deepening an already explosive situation and raising major questions about accountability.

And in the world of politics and media, Kamala Harris is once again trending — but not for the reasons she likely hoped — as critics and commentators react to her latest public appearances.
