The World Cup Spoiler No One Wants: Ebola CNN One Thing
FIFA expects more than 6 million soccer fans will descend on North America in less than 3 weeks for the 2026 World Cup. But amid cuts to public health programs under the Trump administration, will Ebola, hantavirus or measles join the crowds?

 Why Comedians Say Colbert’s Exit is No Joke CNN One Thing
Stephen Colbert signed off from the “Late Show” for the final time Thursday after CBS ended the iconic late night franchise. While many believe his criticism of President Donald Trump played a factor, the network insists it was purely a financial decision. But can political comedy and media consolidation coexist? And how will pressure from Trump’s FCC influence broadcasters going forward? A working comedian weighs in.  For more: watch ‘The Last Laugh: Stephen Colbert’  ---  Guest: Michael Ian Black, “Have I Got News for You” team captain  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin  Support: Sophie Tran  Photo By: Scott Kowalchyk/CBS

 A School Shooting’s Long Shadow CNN One Thing
After a gunman killed two children and injured 27 others at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis at the start of the school year, parents, teachers, and students have been left to pick up the pieces. It is a process that might feel familiar to countless other communities who have encountered school shootings, but what does it look like for these families? How do you live the rest of your life after everything changes? CNN went to Minneapolis to find out.  For more: The shooting finally s...Show moretopped.

 Does Trump Need China to End the War with Iran? CNN One Thing

Now, he heads to Beijing for a high-stakes state visit needing their help on a massive political problem: the war with Iran. We look at how both sides might navigate this moment and how Trump's pressure campaign may have helped China prepare for this moment of global instability.  For more: The shadowy network of Chinese oil refineries funding Iran  ---  Guest: Simone McCarthy, CNN Senior China Reporter  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin

 What the Redistricting ‘Race to the Bottom’ Actually Looks Like CNN One Thing
At the urging of President Donald Trump, multiple Republican-led states in the South have move quickly to redraw congressional maps in the wake of the Supreme Court decision last month that critics say will significantly weaken the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In Louisiana, the Black congressman who represents the district at the heart of that Supreme Court case says Democrats can't stand by and need to act. So what happens now? And with the midterms less than six months away, how could it impact ...Show morevoters across the country?  For more: How the Republicans pulling ahead in the redistricting war affects the midterms  ---  Guest: Rep.

 Missing Scientists, Assassination Attempts, & Conspiracy Theories Under Trump 2.0 CNN One Thing
President Donald Trump has amplified (and been the subject of) many conspiracy theories during his time as a public figure. Online speculation, without evidence, that recent assassination attempts against him in Butler, Pennsylvania and the White House Correspondent’s dinner were staged have only grown in recent weeks. But the conversation around the death and disappearance of multiple top government scientists is perhaps the most curious item to grab Trump’s attention – in part because of the p...Show moreath it took to get to his desk. We look at how the story reached the White House and why conspiracy theories continue to fester in the age of Trump.  For more: How a speculative story about dead and missing scientists went from the fringe to the White House  ---  Guest: T.M.

 ICE Wants to Be NICE. Will Americans Buy It? CNN One Thing
After the killings of two American citizens in Minneapolis and the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation is attempting a bit of a reset. From calling ICE agents “NICE” agents on social media to reducing visible presence on the streets, it’s clear new Secretary Markwayne Mullin wants federal agents out of the spotlight. But are the goals of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation push any different? Plus, we hear from someone caught in...Show more the middle of the administration’s crackdown on legal immigration.  For more: Exclusive: Trump moves to accelerate deportations of migrant children in US custody  ---  Guest: Priscilla Alvarez, CNN Correspondent  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin  Editorial Support: Tami Luhby Photo: Matthew Hatcher/Getty Images

 The ‘Special Relationship’ Is Strained. King Charles to the Rescue? CNN One Thing
King Charles is in the midst of a four-day state visit to the US to mark the 250th anniversary of US independence. The visit comes at a time when US-UK relations are notably strained, thanks to the war with Iran and calls for greater Jeffrey Epstein-related accountability. But President Donald Trump is usually receptive to royalty – so will this trip help mend fences, or give European allies more to worry about?  For more: Epstein scandal lingers in background of King Charles’ visit to Washington  ---  Guest: Jack Blanchard, POLITICO Playbook Author/Managing Editor  Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo: Henry Nichols/Pool/AFP/Getty Images

 Musk vs. Altman & The Battle for The Soul of AI CNN One Thing
Tech titans Elon Musk and Sam Altman are set to face off in court this week in a case centered on OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model. Musk alleges Altman and his company have strayed from their founding mission to develop artificial intelligence for the good of humanity rather than corporate profit (OpenAI denies the allegations). But is this just petty billionaire beef, or could it tell us something about our own AI futures? ---  Guest: Hadas Gold, CNN AI Correspondent   Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin  Photo: Carlos Barria/Kenny Holston/Pool/Reuters
