Washington Free Beacon: Ted Cruz Launches Probe of Bud Light Maker Over Transgender Partnership
Senators Ted Cruz and Marsha Blackburn are investigating Bud Light's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, stating the influencer's audience skews significantly younger than the legal drinking age, violating guidelines that prohibit alcohol companies from advertising to a younger audience. Bud Light is still facing the consequences of a conservative boycott over the partnership, seeing a 26 percent drop in sales from a year ago. The senators have demanded the beer company cut ties with Mulvaney, publicly apologize for marketing alcoholic beverages to minors, and remove Anheuser-Busch content from Mulvaney's social media platforms.

The Epoch Times: House Republicans Challenge Biden Administration's Remote Work Policies
House Republicans demand transparency from federal agencies on their telework policies and their impact on agency performance, following the Biden administration allowing continued levels of telework and remote work that are significantly higher than before the pandemic, without providing objective evidence of their impact. The lawmakers request information about the level of telework taking place within the agencies and their tracking of remote work's impact on performance. They also alert the agencies to the committee's intention to conduct oversight into continued allowances for remote work past the end of the pandemic.
House Republicans sent letters to 25 Biden administration agencies on May 18, calling for accountability on their telework programs. The Republicans ask for information about the level of telework taking place within the agencies, how they’re tracking remote work's impact on performance, and what the effect has been. Agencies have responded saying they cannot comment on the correspondence, or will respond to Congress directly. The lawmakers sent the letters to the heads of federal agencies and departments, including Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Administrator Bill Nelson of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
American Thinker: Biden fails as the nation's Chief Citizen
President Biden, as the nation's "Chief Citizen," is expected to work for the public interest and represent all citizens regardless of political affiliation. However, his recent remarks at Howard University and previous speeches show a pattern of divisive rhetoric that ignores the progress America has made in combating bigotry. By injecting racial divisions and deriding fellow Americans, the president fails to fulfill his promises of unity, civility, and normalcy. As a concerned nation watches, he risks reneging on his obligations to the American people.
Washington Free Beacon: It's No Fluke: RFK Jr. Is Consistently Polling at 20 Percent Against Biden
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., scion of the Kennedy family, is polling at around 20% among Democrats in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, posing a potential challenge to incumbent President Joe Biden in the primaries. Both an Emerson College poll and a Fox News poll found Kennedy at 19-21% to Biden's 62-70%, with the only other candidate, Marianne Williamson, at 7%. Biden's unpopularity among Democrats and Kennedy's consistent polling numbers could mean trouble for the incumbent president, who faces rare and often unsuccessful primary challengers.

Advocates cite major funding challenges to improving transport infrastructure, including the need to compete with the costs of transportation priorities such as bridge and highway improvements. To prevent rising fatalities and improve safety, advocates are advocating for increased funding for sidewalks, bike lanes, and public transport alternatives.

Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor and Kagan seem to be in a feud over a copyright case involving Andy Warhol and Prince. Sotomayor wrote catty notes about Kagan's dissent, calling her out on misstatements and using sleight of hand.

Kagan disagreed, arguing that Warhol's work was "transformative" and that fair use applied. The decision did not settle the copyright claim and forces the district court to proceed to trial.

The Epoch Times: The High Dudgeon of the Debt Debate
As Congress debates the debt ceiling, both parties only pretend to be doing math and budgeting while accusing the other of irresponsibility. The heart of the Republican plan is a $3.2 trillion savings to be achieved by cutting discretionary spending in the future, which in reality is not really a cut at all but rather a reduction in the predetermined rate of increase. Even if a balanced budget is possible, eliminating whole agencies would be crucial. Neither party is talking this way because doing so is not in anyone’s political interest. A change in the nation’s culture concerning the relationship of society and government is what is really needed to combat the nation's debt.

Breitbart: Woke Lancet Decries Stillbirths While Promoting Abortion

Fox News: German doctor convicted over threat by fairy tale loses appeal
A German court has upheld a verdict that convicted a doctor of threatening a woman through email by sending her an extract of a fairy tale about a gruesome death. The Frankfurt state court rejected the physician’s appeal, stating that the verdict by a district court in the city stood. Back in December 2021, the forensic psychiatrist exchanged messages with an employee of a doctors’ association over the rules of using a service provider for video consultations with patients. The extract he sent was from the Brothers Grimm’s collection and quoted a passage from "The Goose Girl" in which a character is punished for deceiving someone.

Fox News: Watchdog agency allowed Virginia State Police to investigate itself after a trooper kidnapped a teen girl
An investigation into how a former trooper was hired and later went on to kidnap a California teenager and kill three members of her family, is at the center of an ongoing scrutiny of Virginia State Police. It has emerged that in almost all cases, VSP has retained responsibility for "the oversight and conduct of internal investigations of its personnel," due in part to a mutual agreement with the watchdog agency called in by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin. Surviving relatives of the family are set to sue Washington County and the Commonwealth of Virginia, alleging that state police were "grossly negligent" in hiring Austin Edwards, who had previously voluntarily checked himself into a mental health facility in 2016, and who they claim had no legal right to own or possess a gun.

Fox News: Spanish towns evacuated as intentional wildfire tears through western part of country
