MAMDANI SUES TRUMP, CROOKS USED BOB DOLE ALIAS | LIVE FROM STUDIO 6B

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and AG Letitia James are suing the Trump administration over the public-charge rule set to take effect Friday. Officials could deny green cards and visas if applicants look likely to use Medicaid, food aid, or housing help. Damon Roberts' First Word: Democrats run a simple operation — import people who need things, give them things, then harvest their gratitude at the ballot box.   New FBI records: Thomas Matthew Crooks used the alias "Bob Dole" to receive rifle parts before the July 2024 Butler attack. An anonymous donor later paid for his cremation. Motive still unsolved.   Mitch McConnell is back on the Senate floor for the first time since his June hospitalization, arriving in a wheelchair after a three-month absence.   DOJ: Jonathan Hunter Kramer, 21, of Valencia, Pa., arrested with a semiautomatic rifle and 190 rounds after allegedly plotting an ISIS "mission."   Macklemore says he was dropped from Ed Sheeran's U.S. tour after Patriots owner Robert Kraft and other stadium owners issued an ultimatum over his onstage "Free Palestine" remarks. Kraft says venues will not platform what he calls hate speech.   Lines, matchups, and the rest of the day's action with the Studio 6B crew.   Hosts: Damon Roberts, Rick Delgado, Rick Ammirati, Vin Butta, and Beni Rae Harmony.   Should welfare use block a green card — or is this just another lawsuit to keep the pipeline open?
