Immigration Battle Triggers Another Shutdown, Shakes Up Midterms

The Department of Homeland Security has entered a partial government shutdown, after a two-week funding extension expired without a bipartisan agreement on immigration reforms. While core agencies like ICE and CBP remain operational due to existing funding streams, the lapse forces roughly 95% of TSA agents and thousands of FEMA employees to work without pay, echoing the financial strain of a previous 43-day shutdown. Republican candidate for the North Carolina Senate and former RNC Chairman Michael Whatley joins the Rundown to discuss yet another political standoff and how it ties into his bid to replace retiring Senator Thom Tillis. As the nation marks the federal holiday for Washington’s birthday, 'The White House', a new FOX Nation series, explores the executive mansion's early years, highlighting the political power plays, personal scandals, and the high-stakes compromise that shaped the nation’s capital. Historian and CEO of the American Philosophical Society, Dr. Patrick Spero, who is featured in the series, joins to discuss the complex lives of the Founding Fathers, the influential role of Dolley Madison in shaping the building’s social identity, and how the "People's House" has constantly evolved to meet the needs of a growing country.

Extra: Addictive by Design? When Social Media Devastates A Family

Is social media addictive? That's the question at the heart of a trial underway right now in Los Angeles, where a woman who is now 20 years old is suing, claiming that social media is addictive and purposely so. Her case is serving as a bellwether to help decide what should happen with thousands of other similar lawsuits. Earlier this week, Fox News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Maurine Molak, whose son committed suicide after intense cyberbullying through apps he couldn't stop using Molak explained how she thinks her son got addicted … and how that addiction changed his behavior. She also explained why she believes big tech companies are intentionally trying to get users hooked – no matter their age – and that attempts at parental controls and safety features for minors are not working. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Maurine Molak.

Extra: Why More Doctors Are Speaking Out Against Gender Surgeries for Minors

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has released an updated statement recommending against gender surgeries for anyone under the age of 18. While the American Medical Association has issued a similar stance, other organizations—including the American Academy of Pediatrics—argue that healthcare decisions should remain between families and doctors, and that surgical options should stay on the table for minors. Earlier this week, plastic surgeon and star of Netflix’s Skin Decision: Before and After, Dr. Sheila Nazarian, joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to explain why many in her field believe minors should not "go under the knife" for transition procedures. Dr. Nazarian raised alarms over the lack of long-term data regarding the effectiveness of these treatments, emphasizing her belief that evidence-based medicine must be the sole guide for treating gender dysphoria in children. She also discussed the professional risks of speaking out, noting that many in the medical community fear political backlash for questioning current standards of care. We often have to cut our interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this conversation in its entirety.
