The News Roundup For February 6, 2026

Fri Feb 06 2026

Listen

The Trump administration now says a “softer touch” might be required when it comes to their immigration agenda in Minnesota. Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border head, says that 700 ICE agents will leave the state. In another warning sign for Republicans in Washington, a Democratic candidate won an upset in a special election for a Texas State Senate seat. And the Department of Justice released another round of Epstein emails on Friday, revealing communications between the late New York financier and several public figures, from Bill Gates to Elon Musk. Talks between the U.S. and Iran got off to a stuttering start this week, one moment being tabled, and the next moment being back on. Arab leaders lobbied the White House on Wednesday to not walk away from the table entirely. The Trump administration revealed a plan to create a critical mineral reserve and a new trade alliance, aimed at taking away China’s ability to use its near monopoly of the rare metals as leverage in trade negotiations. Spain is set to follow Australia’s lead and implement a ban on social media use for minors. Find more of our programs online.
