    Today on Face the Nation, breaking overnight: Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has died from what his office calls a "brief and sudden illness" at the age of 71. We'll have the latest and we'll talk with fellow South Carolina Senator Tim Scott about his impact in Washington and beyond.

    NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, Rep. Carlos Gimenez and Rep. Adriano Espaillat, NCAA President Charlie Baker

    This week on Face the Nation, America celebrates its 250th birthday. We try to put politics aside and a take look at some of the things that make this nation so unique.


    Despite record breaking temperatures sweeping across much of the nation, Americans came out over the weekend to honor the country's 250th year of independence.  Fireworks, parades, flyovers, and red, white and blue were all on display. 


    We take a look at one thing that is proving difficult to fix, America’s immigration system.  Two members of Congress who immigrated here, Florida Republican Carlos Gimenez and New York Democrat Adriano Espaillat, will tell us their stories and why immigrants were important in shaping America’s past and why they are still important in fortifying America's future. 


    Plus, the final frontier. As America reboots its quest to lead the world in space exploration, we reflect on our history, and take a look at what's ahead with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. 


    And, we take look at the pastimes that have dominated American culture. This country is driven by competition, and winning, and few things unite us as much as love of the game.  We talk about the changes in college sports, the proving ground for young American athletes, with the head of the NCAA, former Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker.

    This week on Face the Nation, the fragile detente between the US and Iran is disrupted and tensions over the war with Iran explode between President Trump and the Republican Senator he worked to defeat.

    We also speak to Virginia Senator Tim Kaine about the shift of the Democratic party to the left and check in on all the other news of the week.

    UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Jason Crow

    This week on Face the Nation, Vice President Vance and Iranian officials meet face to face in Switzerland to kick off a 60 day period of talks to resolve the nuclear issue, but the Trump administration is finding that their path to peace is complicated. 

     

    Saying he wanted to avert "economic catastrophe," due to the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, the President negotiates an agreement with Iran that's far short of the goals he's set in the nearly 4 month conflict. Did the president wind up with the short end of the deal?  We’ll discuss the latest with UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and a key democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Colorado's Jason Crow. It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.

    Rep. Jim Himes, Rep. Don Bacon, Rep. Ro Khanna

    President Trump's grand plan for the Washington DC skyline isn't the only thing shaking up the city this summer.  Last week he appointed a man with NO intelligence experience to head up the top agency in the intelligence community.


     Bill Pulte, who serves as the director of the federal housing finance agency, is the heir to a building fortune and close to the President.  He's rubbed some cabinet members the wrong way.

    And his appointment has sparked concern among even Republicans trying to reauthorize a surveillance program that's due to expire this week.   The top Democrat on the House Intel committee Jim Himes will be here today.  Nebraska Republican Congressman Don Bacon also joins us.

    Meanwhile, Democrats are keeping close watch on Tuesday's Maine Senate primary as their candidate faces some alarming allegations of past aggressive behavior.  We talk with a top Graham Platner supporter, California Democrat Ro Khanna.


    Finally...should the government have more control over the exploding field of Artificial Intelligence?  Plus a conversation about the virtue of courage in public service
