## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including ICE posting record arrest numbers as the Trump administration accelerates its deportation efforts despite ongoing legal challenges and nationwide injunctions; new polling showing Republicans facing growing headwinds ahead of the midterm elections, with Democrats gaining ground on the economy, immigration, and the generic House ballot; and ESPN sparking backlash after abruptly firing Ryan Clark, Cam Newton and longtime baseball broadcaster Karl Ravech following more than three decades with the network, leaving sports fans questioning the network's leadership and direction; and much more.
