NEWS: Gavin Newsom Sues Fox News for $787 Million in Major Lawsuit

Gavin Newsom sues Fox News in $787 million lawsuit, CASA Inc. shifts its strategy to block Trump's birthright citizenship executive order, Trump ends trade talks with Canada, and much more.

Good evening, everyone. It’s been a whirlwind—an unrelenting stream of news, endless footage, deep dives, and more late nights than I can count. I’ve thrown myself into this work, not for clicks or clout, but because I believe it matters—especially now.

If you’ve felt more informed, more grounded, or just a little less alone because of what I’ve shared, I hope you’ll consider becoming a paid subscriber. Your support isn’t just appreciated—it’s what makes this possible.

Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep pushing forward—together. Now, here’s the latest:

  • CASA Inc., an immigrant advocacy group, has adjusted its legal strategy by requesting an emergency block on Trump’s birthright citizenship policy and refiled its broader lawsuit as a class action.

  • The Senate is scheduled to hold its first vote on the “big, beautiful” bill, or the reconciliation package, this Saturday, according to POLITICO.

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million, accusing Jesse Watters of defamation for falsely stating that Newsom lied about a phone call with Trump during the Los Angeles protests.

  • Trump told Iran’s Supreme Leader he’d catch more flies with honey than vinegar, and confirmed reports that he was considering lifting some sanctions.

  • The U.S. military chose not to use bunker-buster bombs on a major Iranian nuclear facility last weekend because the site is so deeply buried that the weapons likely wouldn’t have been effective, according to the U.S.’ top general.

  • University of Virginia President James E. Ryan has resigned under pressure from the Trump administration, after the Justice Department demanded his departure as part of resolving a civil rights investigation into the university.

  • Trump praised Vladimir Putin’s remarks, saying “he respects our country again,” after Putin earlier stated he “deeply respects Donald Trump.”

  • Donald Trump said he would bomb Iran again if it continues enriching uranium, stating, “Sure, without a question. Absolutely.”

  • Trump lashed out at Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him “a stubborn mule” and “a stupid person,” and said he plans to replace him with someone willing to cut interest rates.

  • The Trump administration announced it will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, putting over 500,000 at risk of deportation despite ongoing violence and instability in Haiti; critics called the move dangerous and dishonest, with advocates warning conditions remain too unsafe for return.

  • Canadian authorities are investigating the death of 49-year-old Johnny Noviello, a longtime U.S. resident who died in ICE custody in Florida while awaiting deportation due to past drug convictions.

  • A Honduran asylum-seeker, identified as “Ms. Z,” is suing the Trump administration after she and her children—including a six-year-old son with leukemia—were arrested at a Los Angeles immigration court and held in a Texas detention center, with the lawsuit claiming their detention violates constitutional rights and is part of a broader campaign targeting non-citizens at court hearings.

  • The Trump administration has rehired a Musk associate nicknamed “Big Balls” for a position at the Social Security Administration, according to WIRED.

  • Environmental groups are suing to stop a migrant detention center from being built in the Florida Everglades, citing potential harm to the ecosystem and violations of environmental laws.

  • Lauren Boebert cast doubt on the moon landing, saying, “I wasn’t alive either when we went to the moon... Things change, facts change.”

  • The Federal Reserve announced that all 22 major banks successfully passed this year’s annual stress test.

  • A Colorado funeral home owner has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for fraud after storing nearly 190 decomposing bodies instead of cremating them.

See you in the morning.
