NEW TONIGHT: Alphabet, the company who owns Google and YouTube, has told the House Judiciary Committee that YouTube will allow creators previously terminated under now-defunct COVID-19 and election-integrity policies to rejoin the platform.
In a letter, Alphabet’s chief counsel Daniel Donovan said the rules were loosened or retired in 2023–24 and admitted that senior Biden administration officials had pressured YouTube to remove content, calling that outreach “unacceptable and wrong.”
The company pledged to apply guidelines equally, warned against government interference in moderation, and hinted at a shift away from third-party fact-checkers in favor of community-driven moderation.
High-profile conservatives such as Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Dan Bongino are among those now eligible to return.
The disclosures come as Republicans continue their probe into alleged political censorship by Big Tech. They recently opened an investigation into Wikipedia for alleged bias in articles.

NEW: President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation requiring companies to pay a $100,000 fee to obtain H-1B worker visas, a sharp escalation in his administration’s immigration crackdown.
The H-1B program, created in 1990, allows U.S. firms to bring in skilled foreign workers. Major tech companies have long relied on it to fill key roles. Congress caps new visas at 65,000 annually, with another 20,000 for advanced degree holders.
The White House says existing H-1B holders aren’t affected, but questions remain on whether the fee applies to renewals.
This move comes as the administration intensifies enforcement nationwide, with raids and deportation operations ramping up in major cities.

Israeli PM Netanyahu blasted France’s move, vowing a Palestinian state “will not be established west of the Jordan River.”
On the ground in Gaza: Israeli forces advanced deeper into Gaza City, destroying homes and killing at least 31 Palestinians, per local health officials. More than 450,000 people have fled, though Hamas disputes the numbers.
Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll finds 60% of Americans see the U.N. as necessary, but 63% say it’s doing a poor job. A striking 17% now favor the U.S. leaving the body altogether.

LIFE AND LEGACY: Tens of thousands of people packed an Arizona stadium to honor the life and legacy of conservative activist Charlie Kirk who was assassinated earlier this month.
Dozens of Republican lawmakers, including President Trump, VP Vance and other cabinet members, eulogized Kirk and what he meant for the conservative moment and young voters.
Speakers highlighted Kirk’s mission to God, to get married, have kids and pass on their values. They also said conservatives must push forward to advance Kirk’s legacy by advocating for right-wing ideals.
In a heartfelt moment, Kirk’s widow, Erika, in her own address said in the midst of her grief she was finding comfort that her husband left this world without regrets. She said she forgives the man who is charged with killing him.
Since the killing, Turning Point USA said they received more than 62,000 requests to establish new campus chapters.

SOCIAL POLITICS: The 2028 presidential race is unfolding not on cable news, but on YouTube, where candidates are building their own broadcast empires.
Some examples: AOC and Ted Cruz are pulling primetime-sized audiences in their own independent channels.
Sen. Josh Hawley racks up millions of views while Ex-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, now running for Ohio governor, boasts 813K subscribers, second only to Trump among Republicans.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg grew from 28K to 177K subscribers this year, with 10M views and 500K hours watched.
Analysts say the shift signals the first post-cable TV election, as YouTube becomes the go-to for news and political engagement—especially among young and disaffected voters.

TELL ALL: Former VP Kamala Harris is spilling the tea on potential 2028 rivals in her new book “107 Days.”
In the book, she talks about her VP picks when she was at the head of the ticket. Despite many saying she would pick Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Harris writes that he seemed overly confident about his ability to clinch the job and that the vibes in his critical interview with her were not good.
She said Shapiro started wondering aloud about what it was like living in the VP house and talking about wanting to be in the room for every decision and on what exactly his role as VP would be.
She also talked about Pete Buttigieg, who she said was her first pick but too risky. She said if he was a “straight” man, it would be a no brained for her, but that it was risky because she was already asking America to “accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man.”
The book comes months after Harris lost her election to Trump and as she looks to decide whether to run in 2028.

NEW: Miami-Dade transit riders won’t see a fare increase next year after commissioners scrapped a proposed 50-cent hike for buses and Metrorail in their hours-long marathon meeting that ended with the county budget passing.
The 2026 budget keeps property tax rates flat, while raising water rates by 3.5% and adding about $5 to suburban trash fees.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava had already dropped other controversial cuts, including charity funding and arts grants. All those programs remain.
Still, some cuts remain — lifeguards at natural swimming pools will be eliminated, and the Office of New Americans will close. But the budget funds the new Sheriff’s Office ($80M), keeps subsidies for the 2026 World Cup, and preserves the MetroConnect ride service.

For the first time since their development, the newly seated vaccine advisory group overseen by RFK Jr. has declined to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for the general public, leaving the choice up to individuals.
Until now, shots had already been limited to those 65 and older or at high risk. The panel also urged the CDC to adopt stronger warnings about potential vaccine risks.
During its two-day meeting, the panel also:
* Postponed a decision on whether to end the universal recommendation for newborn hepatitis B vaccinations.
* Recommended that children under 4 receive separate doses of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and chickenpox, not the combined MMRV shot.
* Called for the Vaccines for Children program to adopt the narrower MMRV guidance.
President Donald Trump said he remains “very proud” of Operation Warp Speed and is not upset by Kennedy’s skepticism.

NEW: The Trump administration on Friday unveiled new restrictions for journalists at the Pentagon, requiring them to pledge not to gather or possess any information — even unclassified — without formal authorization.
Reporters who refuse could see their press credentials revoked.
The rules, pushed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, give the Pentagon sweeping power to revoke access for anyone deemed a security threat.
Critics say the move marks a sharp break from decades of open press access to military leaders and raises concerns about press freedom.
Earlier this year, Hegseth forced out long-standing outlets including NBC, The New York Times, and NPR from their offices, replacing them with newer outlets like OAN, Newsmax, and Breitbart.
The White House has not commented on the policy.

Live Nation is also being accused of allowing customers to pay more than originally advertised.
7 states, including Florida, have signed onto the lawsuit.
