In the weeks ahead of the midterms, armed federal agents are knocking on doors of U.S. residents and asking about their immigration status + if they've voted.
A former homeland security agent with 20+ years of experience says he's never seen anything like it.
Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found.
The operation is part of an effort to root out potential noncitizen voters ahead of the midterms. cbsn.ws/4eF7Zyv

In Kansas, a tornado warning for Republicans: our @CBSEveningNews report on the ground for one of the surprises of the cycle. We spent time with a Trump supporting cattle rancher who told me he’s undecided on the Senate race and, for the first time, open to the Democrat:
At the $TRUMP coin gala next month, the top 185 holders of the meme coin will have the chance to hear the President speak.
Our @cbsnews investigative team looked into the top buyers of $TRUMP so far, and found that many may be based overseas.
With @gekaminsky @BySteveReilly
More than half of the top holders listed as competing for seats at President Trump's next meme coin dinner have used cryptocurrency exchanges that prohibit U.S. customers, indicating that many of the buyers are based overseas, according to a CBS News analysis. cbsn.ws/3W8vVUC

New — Republicans and Democrats are divided over almost everything in Washington. Apparently that includes where to eat.
@washingtonsun analyzed 1.6M+ FEC operating-expenditure records and found campaigns spent more than $9M at 829 D.C.-area restaurants this cycle.
Republicans’ top spot: The Capital Grille, where GOP campaigns spent more than $500k. / Democrats’ favorite: Paraiso, followed by Osteria Morini, AMA and L’Ardente.
There was a big divide in how much the parties spent: Republican campaigns dropped about $5M at restaurants compared with $3.9M for Democrats — despite almost the exact same number of campaigns in the analysis.
Steve Scalise was the biggest spender of all, with nearly $517k across 79 restaurants, including almost $117k at Ocean Prime.
Hakeem Jeffries led Democrats with more than $160k across 31 restaurants, including nearly $45k at Osteria Morini.
