The incident highlights the persistence of human trafficking in the mountainous border region.

Washington Free Beacon: Dem Senators Demand Biden Simply Ignore Debt Ceiling Law
U.S. Senate Democrats led by Bernie Sanders urge President Joe Biden to prepare to invoke the 14th Amendment to prevent a debt default if talks with Republicans fail.

When averaged together, a total of 63% of voting Americans supported deficit reduction as part of the agreement.

Human Events: Twitter’s community notes DEBUNKS false narrative that ‘white
supremacist’ nurse stole Citi Bike from black man
A pregnant nurse was placed on leave from her job after being accused in a TikTok video of stealing a Citi-bike from a group of young black men. However, Twitter's Community Notes function revealed that the allegations were absurd and asked why a tired, pregnant nurse would try to steal a bike. The video showed only a portion of the incident and later, the nurse's attorney showed proof that she rented the bike herself. The narrative spun about this incident was that a man who had rented the bike was endangered by a pregnant woman. However, the whole incident had been a setup by the young men who accused the nurse of stealing a bike. The viral video does not show a white woman "weaponizing" her tears, but instead shows a group of young men empowered by a cultural climate that rewards victimization and uses accusations of racism to undermine the social fabric and make off with a stolen bike.

The group's founder, Patrisse Cullors, reportedly embarked on a cross-country property-buying spree taking in four properties in California and Georgia for $3.2 million following the death of George Floyd in 2020. Cullors also had financial connections to family and friends of the organization, including an art firm run by her child's father, Shalomyah Bowers' political consulting firm and her own brother.

Fox News: Sudan's top army general fires former deputy turned paramilitary leader in symbolic gesture
Sudan’s top army general fires the deputy of the country's governing body, paramilitary leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, amid clashes between the army and rival paramilitary forces. The month-long conflict has already killed at least 705 people and threatens to unleash a civil war in Sudan. Intense fighting has flared up in the Sudanese capital and in the western Darfur region, killing civilians. The United Nations and rights groups have accused Sudan's warring sides of human rights abuses. The head of the Sudanese delegation at Friday's Arab League summit in Saudi Arabia urged other Arab countries to help end the crisis.
Red State: Pentagon 'Accounting Error' Will Free Up Extra $3 Billion for Ukraine
Pentagon overestimated by $3 billion the value of weaponry sent to Ukraine against Russian forces, due to an accounting error, potentially paving the way for additional weapons. Biden could use this to postpone the need for additional funding authorization from Congress, as the issue remains controversial in both right and left-wing circles. Senate Republican Roger Wicker warned that allowing additional funds to go to Ukraine without Congressional approval is a major mistake.
The U.S. has dispatched worth $21.1 billion worth of military equipment to Ukraine from its reserves, including High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers, Javelin anti-tank weapons, and a Patriot surface-to-air missile system. Despite US support for Ukraine, the war between Ukraine and Russia has so far dragged on for 15 months with no clear outcome in sight. The White House remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but Senator Roger Wicker warns that unilaterally altering military aid calculations is an attempt at deception and undermines the goal of a Ukrainian victory over Putin.

Fox News: Direct flights resume between Russia and Georgia despite rocky relations between the nations
Amid protests, direct flights between Russia and Georgia have resumed after Russia recently lifted a four-year-old ban and abolished visas for Georgian nationals in a move so surprising that it was seen by some as Putin trying to show allies. Georgia's pro-Western president, Salome Zourabichvili, and those opposed to the government's pro-Russia course criticised the move, which comes despite complicated Georgia-Russia relations, a short war in 2008 and Georgia's condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year. While some opponents pledge to continue to protest the resumption of flights, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili argued it would not be in the interests of the Georgian people to stop trade and economic relations with Moscow.

Fox News: Gas stove exception for celebrity chef José Andrés rankles local restaurant owners: 'California crazy'
Celebrity chef José Andrés was granted an exception to California's gas stove ban for his new restaurant in Palo Alto, causing pushback from local restaurant owners who are worried about the impact of the ban on their businesses. The city of Palo Alto responded to Andrés by allowing gas service for his restaurant, but insisting all other new and remodeled projects would have to comply with electric requirements. The gas stove ban is part of California's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but many restaurant owners feel that the policies are "freewheeling" and have not been fully considered.

The Federalist Papers: Zelenskyy Gives Highly Repulsive 'Gift' to Pope Francis - This Should Offend Every Christian
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gifted Pope Francis a controversial painting entitled "Loss 2022-58", depicting the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus entirely blacked out, which many Catholics have described as highly offensive. The painting commemorates the 243 children who died in the first 58 days of Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. The Union of Orthodox Journalists says the image is a parody of the Iberian Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. Zelenskyy already has a poor reputation for his attacks on Ukraine's Orthodox Church, and this gift is far from appropriate, according to Dr. Taylor Marshall, who called it a slap to the followers of Jesus Christ.

The Epoch Times: Montana Judge Grants Planned Parenthood's Request for Temporary Block on 2nd Trimester Abortion Ban
A "dismemberment" abortion law restricting dilation and evacuation procedures after 15 weeks has been temporarily blocked by a Montana judge. Planned Parenthood of Montana had requested a temporary restraining order, on the grounds that the law was unconstitutional, and District Judge Mike Menahan granted this, writing that the organisation and its patients faced "immediate, irreparable harm" and that the ban presented a "prima facie constitutional violation". The legislation had included an exception permitting procedures in medical emergencies, but would have violated due process if implemented. The hearing for a preliminary injunction will be held on May 23.

sexually assaulted 11-year-old girl should NOT serve in women’s
prison
A Scottish National Party member believes that Andrew Miller, also known as Amy George, who sexually assaulted a young girl, should be held in a male prison, despite identifying as a woman.

The court deemed Miller's actions as “abhorrent crimes,” but Humza Yousaf, who is in charge of prison allocations, has not yet ruled out placing Miller in a female prison.
