The Trump administration says it has now gone 15 consecutive months without releasing a single migrant at the southern border, a streak officials say is backed by a 94% drop in daily apprehensions, and Congress is moving to make the policies permanent.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman says he will "absolutely never" campaign against GOP Sen. Dave McCormick, a stance that underscores just how far Fetterman has drifted from his own party's base. Fetterman made the declaration in an interview with the Washington Examiner, where he was asked whether he would take the field against McCormick when the Republican faces voters in 2030. His answer left no room for interpretation. "I would absolutely never move against my friend," Fetterman told the outlet. He declined to say whether he would go further and formally endorse McCormick, but the refusal to oppose a Republican incumbent puts him in rare company among sitting Democratic senators, and adds fresh fuel to an already intense debate…Open

A 68-year-old Bay Area retiree was allegedly stabbed to death on his own front lawn by an illegal Venezuelan immigrant who had been released from custody just 24 hours earlier, and the Trump administration says California's sanctuary policies are to blame. Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, went on Fox & Friends Thursday and laid the killing of Todd Stewart squarely at Governor Gavin Newsom's feet. Stewart, a retiree in Martinez, California, was attacked last week in broad daylight by a man he had no known connection to, a man ICE had flagged for deportation months earlier and asked local authorities to hold. They didn't hold him. A Newsom-appointed judge, Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Nichelle Holmes, released 36-year-old…Open

An overloaded ferry capsized on Zimbabwe's Lake Kariba, the world's largest man-made lake by volume, killing dozens of passengers while rescue teams continue searching for 27 people still unaccounted for. The vessel was carrying far more passengers than its 90-person capacity when it went down on the vast lake shared by Zimbabwe and Zambia. Zimbabwe's Civil Protection Unit confirmed through ticket sales that at least 114 adults and five crew members were aboard. An unknown number of children, too young to require tickets, may have been on the ferry as well, meaning the true passenger count could be significantly higher than official records show. Seventy-seven survivors were pulled from the water or reached a small island in the lake on…Open

Former late-night host Jay Leno appeared at the California Capitol to push a bipartisan bill that would exempt pre-1981 classic cars from the state's emissions tests, a measure environmental regulators warn could open a loophole. Leno stood alongside state Sen. Shannon Grove on Wednesday to rally support for Senate Bill 1392, dubbed "Leno's Law." The legislation would free qualifying classic and collector cars built before the 1981 model year from California's smog-check requirement and gradually expand the cutoff through the 1986 model year by 2032. The bill now awaits a key vote in the California Assembly, and lawmakers face an end-of-August deadline to send it to the governor. The pitch is straightforward: owners of decades-old cars say…Open
