The NBA says it's cooperating with a federal investigation into illegal gambling and betting involving current and former players and coaches. Miami Heat player Terry Rozier and former coach and player Damon Jones are accused of using inside information to make wagers on games, while Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups was arrested in connection with a poker scheme involving the New York mob. More than 30 people are facing charges in connection with the cases.        Federal agents won't be sent to San Francisco. In a post on Truth Social, President Trump said his administration was getting ready to "surge" San Francisco with agents to crackdown on crime and immigration, but friends in the area asked him to not move forward with it. They told him that Mayor Daniel Lurie is making progress in the city and Trump added he spoke to the Mayor last night, who asked him to give him a chance to "turn it around."        A GOP-bill that would pay some essential federal workers during the government shutdown has been voted down by the Senate. The bill that would pay air traffic controllers, military members, border patrol agents and others failed by a vote of 54 to 45 along party lines. The shutdown is now in it's 23rd day.        President Trump will soon update his administration's crackdown on crime and immigration. The roundtable event will tout the Homeland Security Task Forces' efforts to investigate drug cartels and human trafficking in the U.S. Trump is set to be joined by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel.        An Illinois state senator running to be the next governor has lost four family members in a helicopter crash. Darren Bailey's son, daugher-in-law, and two grandchildren were all killed. The crash happened last night in Montana, only a week after Bailey announced that he was making a second run for governor.        Iron Maiden will return to North America next summer. The heavy metal legend's Run For Your Lives Tour will start in Canada before heading to Harrison, New Jersey on September 5th. They'll also hit cities like Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles before wrapping up on September 29th in San Antonio.
