Shapiro calls for end to Minnesota immigration mission and for Noem to be fired amid funding clash

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told CBS Mornings that the Trump administration's Minnesota immigration crackdown must be terminated after a fatal shooting by federal agents, and he said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem should be fired. He pressed Congress to block funding for the operation in the DHS package moving through the Senate, arguing the approach is wrong and must end, as Tom Homan is set to oversee the effort and a funding deadline looms.

Walz Faces Foreign-Ties Question in Harris Vetting, CNN Reports

Four CNN sources say Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was asked by Kamala Harris’s vetting team whether he had ever been an agent of a foreign government—prompts cited China's influence as Walz had traveled there before his political career—mirroring a similar line of questioning that led Dana Remus to ask Josh Shapiro if he had ever been an agent for Israel. Shapiro called that inquiry offensive and linked it to concerns about antisemitism; aides describe vetting as a standard but sometimes expanded process, and Harris allies disclosed Walz’s questioning to help explain the rushed vetting as she moved to join the ticket.

Josh Shapiro to include a pay boost for in‑home care workers in his 2026 budget to address a large workforce shortage, a move that could require Medicaid rate increases and possibly a tax hike in a swing state with a split Legislature. The pressure comes as Shapiro runs for reelection and eyes a potential 2028 presidential bid, highlighting the balancing act between state needs and national ambitions.

TKO President Explains Why UFC Netflix Deal Fell Through

UFC's recent media rights deal was unexpectedly with Paramount instead of Netflix, primarily because Netflix was only interested in pay-per-view events and not the broader fight card package, leading UFC to pursue a more comprehensive deal with Paramount. Despite carrying WWE Raw, Netflix's focus on high-profile spectacles like Crawford vs. Álvarez suggests future collaborations may still occur, but on different terms.

Biden's Clemency for 'Kids-for-Cash' Judge Sparks Outrage and Criticism

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro criticized President Joe Biden's decision to commute the sentence of Michael Conahan, a former judge involved in the "Kids for Cash" scandal, calling it "absolutely wrong." Conahan was convicted for sending children to prison in exchange for kickbacks. Shapiro emphasized the gravity of the scandal's impact on families and argued that Conahan's 17-year sentence was too lenient. Biden's commutation was part of a broader initiative to grant clemency to individuals in home confinement during the pandemic and pardon nonviolent offenders.
