We’ll break down our new CBS News poll with Anthony Salvanto, CBS News' executive director of elections and surveys.

How could the president's bureaucratic shake-up impact America's law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence capabilities? Plus, what's the impact of cutting U.S. aid to the countries that need it the most? We'll talk with Texas Republican Congressman Michael McCaul and Minnesota Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
