Breitbart: Mayorkas Welcomed Record Surge of Migrants in April
The surge of economic migrants welcomed by Biden's border deputies in April has resulted in allowing 250,000 migrants in total. Continuing despite supposedly tough border rules imposed in May, Biden’s administration has admitted roughly 4.5 million migrants across the southern border, devastating ordinary Americans and their children. Mayorkas, Biden's pro-migration border secretary, is building a mass migration system to deliver foreign workers to wealthy employers and investors, enabling elites to satisfy individual interests before those of ordinary Americans.
Breitbart: Senate Passes Bill to Nullify Biden's Changes to Public Charge Rule

The Epoch Times: Mayorkas Impeachment Articles Introduced by Rep. Greene
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing allegations of negligence and refusal to enforce the law at the U.S. southern border. Greene said Mayorkas aided and abetted illegal activities and made the country vulnerable to national security threats. Mayorkas denied the allegations, saying the department would continue to enforce laws and secure borders. The push to impeach Mayorkas is gaining ground among the House GOP, with Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) among supporters. However, it would face tough challenges in the Senate.

The Epoch Times: Rep. Jim Jordan Says Congress Must Target FBI's Budget in Wake of Durham Report
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has called for Congress to target the FBI budget after the release of a report from special counsel John Durham that revealed the FBI launched its “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign without evidence and due process. Jordan criticized the Democrats, accusing them of creating false narratives amplified by legacy media outlets and Big Tech. He highlighted how Hillary Clinton’s campaign and 51 former CIA agents and intelligence officials worked in 2016 and 2020, respectively, to target Trump and prevent him from being president. He proposed targeting the FBI budget through appropriations to regain control over agencies that have engaged in such behavior.
Breitbart: Turkish Opposition Documents Thousands of Ballot Box Irregularities in Presidential Election
Turkey's Republican People's Party (CHP) has filed complaints about thousands of alleged irregularities at ballot boxes in Sunday's election, where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan outperformed his poll numbers. CHP admits the challenges are unlikely to nullify the election, and the irregularities included a single miscounted vote in addition to others affecting hundreds. The election will go to a runoff between Erdogan and Kemal Kilicdaroglu on May 28.
Skeptics of the election's validity raised eyebrows at Erdogan's popularity in the provinces severely affected by February's earthquakes. Although the government response to the earthquake was heavily criticized, Erdogan and his AKP party won in 10 of the 11 provinces hit by the quake. Kilicdaroglu, Erdogan's rival, is a secularist who advocates returning to the principles of modern Turkey's founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk - principles Erdogan has aggressively dismantled. Erdogan appealed to hardcore Muslims and nationalists by playing on anti-Alevi sentiments and his surrogates did a good job linking Kilicdaroglu to pro-Kurdish parties and the Kurdish separatists of the PKK, making the runoff election closer than expected.

The Federalist Papers: You're Out!: LA Dodgers Suffer Huge Backlash, Remove Anti-Catholic Group from LGBTQ Pride Event
The Los Angeles Dodgers have renounced their plan to recognize left-wing group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Pride Night after religious groups opposed the move, fearing it would promote anti-Catholic sentiment. The Dodgers had planned to acknowledge the queer and trans nuns during the June 16 event but removed the group from the list of honorees following criticism of anti-Catholic rhetoric and "provocative actions." The Dodgers said awareness had been brought to their attention and the decision was made to uphold the positive spirit of Pride Night.
Religious advocacy groups, including CatholicVote and Catholic League, played a key role in the change of heart, with the former describing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence as a "blatantly perverted, sexual, and disgusting anti-Catholic hate group." The latter accused the Dodgers of tarnishing its legacy by considering an "obscene anti-Catholic group" for an award. Prominent Republican Senator Marco Rubio endorsed the Dodgers' decision, having previously criticized it. The incident highlights public opposition to corporate "woke" social agendas.

However, police say they assisted the pair’s security team but deny that a long chase took place, while photographers argue that the royal couple’s security vehicle was being driven recklessly. The incident has provoked comparisons between the royal couple and actor Jussie Smollett, who in 2019 falsely claimed he had been attacked.

The Epoch Times: Montana Becomes First US State to Completely Ban TikTok
Montana has become the first state to impose a complete ban on the video-sharing platform TikTok. Gov. Gianforte signed a bill outlawing the app on personal devices from Jan. 1, 2024. The legislation would permit the Montana Department of Justice to fine any “entity,” such as an app store, $10,000 per day if they were found responsible for allowing access. The ban is an attempt to protect the privacy and sensitive personal information of Montanans from being harvested by the Chinese Communist Party .
The ban has bipartisan support in both Republican-led chambers. However, several challenges are expected over its constitutionality and First Amendment rights. TikTok is owned by ByteDance, Beijing-based Chinese company, which was moved to Singapore in 2020. The FBI and Federal Communications Commission warned of potential threats to U.S. national security from TikTok in2022. Despite reassurances from TikTok, concerns persist that user data obtained by the app, such as browsing history and location, might be shared with the authoritarian Chinese regime.

Fox News: Texas bill banning gender procedures, hormone therapy for trans kids sent to governor
Texas lawmakers have passed a bill that would prohibit gender-affirming treatments and therapies for transgender minors. Senate Bill 14 would block such youth access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy and require those already receiving such care to be "weaned" off in a medically appropriate manner. Although some Democrats supported the bill, medical groups and advocates for the trans community have criticized it, stating the treatment is crucial to the mental health of such individuals. The legislation now goes to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk, but opposers have labelled the move as cruel, arguing that it ignores families, science, and the safety and lives of children.
