Newsbusters: Pressuring Biden to Walk? ABC Cries Over GOP's Demand for 'Steep Cuts'
Negotiations between President Biden and congressional Republicans on lifting the debt ceiling are making progress, but Republicans are demanding spending cuts in exchange. However, there are no "steep spending cuts" on the table, only a proposal to slow the rate of increased spending. House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy has proposed tougher work requirements for federal aid programs, but President Biden downplayed its significance.

The Federalist Papers: If Fox News Thought Firing Tucker Hurt, It's in for an Even Bigger Nightmare Next: Report
Fox News may be losing more than viewers after it fired Tucker Carlson last month, as other hosts are reportedly considering leaving the network to join Carlson in his new venture on Twitter. Variety reported that Carlson was fired as part of Fox News' settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over claims about the 2020 election, an agreement made to avoid a risky jury trial that would have struck a major blow to the conservative-leaning network. Other Fox News hosts may be hesitant to continue working for a network that made its most popular host expendable and caved on a free speech issue.
These hosts may also be concerned about Fox News losing its loyal audience and identity without the effective marketing concept of differentiation that it previously had. While some hosts, such as Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, will likely continue to stake out their conservative positions on the network, others may be considering a move to join Carlson, who has secured the services of Hollywood media lawyer Bryan Freedman to untangle him from Fox News. With Carlson's new show expected to appear on Twitter any day, it remains to be seen who might be joining him before long.

Protests are expected in the coming days, and Lasso's governing powers are now limited. The US State Department has urged all parties to ensure that democratic processes are carried out for the benefit of Ecuadorians.

Republicans voted in favor of referring a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to the Ethics Committee, while all five Democrats abstained by voting “present.” The measure was introduced by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who urged Republicans to take action against Santos. The congressman was charged with 13 federal crimes and arrested on May 10, but released shortly thereafter and maintains his innocence.

Breitbart: Lawsuit: Twitter Shared Identity of Dissident with Saudi Arabia who 'Kidnapped ,Tortured, Imprisoned' Him
Twitter is being sued by human rights activist Areej Al-Sadhan for sharing her brother's personal details with the Saudi Arabian government, which led to his arrest and imprisonment for 20 years. Two former Twitter employees, Ahmad Abouammo and Ali Alzabarah, were also accused of spying for the Saudi government. They allegedly shared information on anonymous users critical of the Saudi government, violating Twitter's privacy policy.
