Fox News: Dem gubernatorial candidate blasted for meltdown over 'shocking' ICE arrest of 2 criminal illegal aliens
Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is facing criticism for her remarks on an ICE raid at a courthouse that arrested two criminal illegal immigrants.

Spanberger's spokesperson clarified that she supports the arrest of violent criminal illegal immigrants but believes the agents acted improperly. DHS defended the raid, stating it conserves resources and is safer for officers and the community. The immigration issue is central to the upcoming gubernatorial race.

The Federalist: Outcry Over South African Refugees Exposes Anti-White Bigotry
The Trump administration welcomed 59 Afrikaner refugees from South Africa, highlighting a stark contrast to the influx of migrants at the southern border. Critics argue that the administration's focus on white refugees exposes a politically motivated bias, while supporters emphasize the genuine threats faced by these individuals.
The situation raises questions about the liberal establishment's commitment to humanitarianism, as they appear to reject white refugees fleeing violence while advocating for non-white migrants. This dynamic suggests a deeper ideological conflict regarding race and immigration policy in the U.S.

The Federalist: Will Trump's Drug Pricing Order Cut Out Greedy Middlemen?
President Trump’s May 12 executive order aims to lower U.S. pharmaceutical prices by allowing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to negotiate drug prices with manufacturers, potentially aligning them with prices in other countries. This move seeks to reduce the influence of middlemen, particularly Pharmacy Benefit Management companies, which control a significant portion of the market and often do not pass savings onto consumers.
The order emphasizes a shift towards free market principles in the pharmaceutical industry, contrasting with previous government price-fixing efforts. The effectiveness of this initiative remains uncertain, particularly regarding its impact on the 180 million Americans with private health insurance and the role of PBMs in drug pricing.

Forbes: Major Update For 6 Million Borrowers About Potential Loss Of Student Loan Forgiveness Eligibility
A provision in the GOP's 2025 tax proposal may jeopardize student loan forgiveness for millions of nonprofit workers. The bill allows the Treasury Secretary to revoke the nonprofit status of organizations deemed to support terrorism, potentially affecting the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program for over 12.8 million employees.
This change could lead to politically motivated revocations, destabilizing PSLF eligibility for those working in critical sectors like healthcare and education. The legislation could also prompt nonprofits to self-censor to avoid losing tax-exempt status, further impacting staffing in essential services.
