Summary

Senate Republicans revolt over the administration’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, derailing a key vote on Trump’s immigration agenda. Then, a Trump-backed superpac gets a big donation from a tobacco giant just a week before the FDA lifts restrictions on vapes. Plus, the latest push to break the deadlock between the U.S. and Iran. Peter Baker, Susan Glasser, Joyce White Vance, Brooke Masters, Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, Natasha Sarin, and Laura Field join The 11th Hour this Thursday night.
