The New American: Abolish the Department of Education, Says Former Education Secretary DeVos - The New American
Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos called for the abolition of the Department of Education, stating that it has no good reason to exist and has been used to further the progressive agenda on local schools. She argues that the transfer of control of education from parents, churches, and local governments to state and federal bureaucracies has always been the aim of public education, and the creation of the Department of Education in 1979 has put Uncle Sam in the driver's seat in any school-related matters. DeVos isn't the first Education Secretary to call for her own department's repeal, with Ronald Reagan's first two Education Secretaries believing in getting rid of their department, at least initially.
The Biden Education Department seeks to be the diversity police for public schools in the US, and also wants them to allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms without regard for their biological sex. According to DeVos, they have taken center stage in the culture wars and have used the coercive power of federal funding to force compliance around a set of cultural markers and expectations. The Bradley Prize, which DeVos won, is awarded annually by the Milwaukee-based Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation to individuals whose extraordinary work exemplifies the foundation's mission to restore, strengthen and protect the principles and institutions of American exceptionalism. Even though DeVos doesn't want to eliminate all the Education Department's functions, she believes that responsibility for enforcing certain civil-rights laws and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act could be transferred to other agencies.
National Review: House Democrats Rally around Plan to Side-Step GOP on Debt-Ceiling Increase
House Democrats are pushing for a vote on a clean debt-ceiling increase, while Republicans want spending cuts in exchange for raising the ceiling. Nearly every House Democrat has signed a plan to force the vote, with a majority of lawmakers needed to proceed. Republicans are refusing to sign on to any increase without spending concessions, while Democrats are hoping to pressure them into negotiating with President Biden. The U.S. risks default for the first time in history, with its debt to GDP ratio and AA+ bond rating under scrutiny.

Haley says a federal abortion ban is not realistic.
Breitbart: White House: We Shouldn't Have Talked to McCarthy Sooner on Debt Limit
National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby responded to criticism over President Biden's handling of the debt ceiling issue, stating that raising the debt limit is a congressional duty. He added that there was no need for negotiations or arguments over the matter, as it has been done 78 times under previous administrations without issue. Kirby stated that the President is willing to discuss the budget and appropriations with Speaker McCarthy, but when it comes to the debt ceiling, Congress should simply "do their job."
Red State: Trump's MAGA Inc. PAC Drops Dishonest Anti-DeSantis Ad
MAGA Inc. PAC drops an attack ad on Ron DeSantis, accusing him of wanting to raise everyone's taxes with a 23% sales tax. The ad refers to the Fair Tax proposal that would eliminate income tax and base national tax revenue on sales taxes. However, it ignores the fact that it would mean no money being pulled from every paycheck and that it's a pretty conservative idea. Supporters of the FairTax proposal suggest even pushing for a 30% national sales tax. Despite this, the ad comes at a time when DeSantis just signed a sales tax exemption on key family-focused items, and as Governor, he has seen major revenue without raising taxes on Florida citizens.
The Blaze: Sen. Feinstein's office admits the 89-year-old Democrat had serious brain complications, prompting more calls for her resignation
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein's handlers have revealed that the California senator's current problems have affected far more than just her face and balance. Feinstein is suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a complication from shingles, which can result in hearing loss, eye problems, vertigo, and facial paralysis. The senior Democrat was first allegedly diagnosed with shingles on February 26, then hospitalized until March 6. Feinstein's situation has caused concern relating to her competence in her current capacity as a U.S. senator.
Feinstein's office revealed Thursday that she is suffering from encephalitis, inflammation of the brain. According to the Mayo Clinic, encephalitis usually causes flu-like symptoms, which can be followed by more severe symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, seizures, problems with speech, and loss of consciousness. The Times noted that the inflammation "alone can damage cells in the brain," possibly impairing judgment and contributing to cognitive decline, which may account for why she is "now struggling to function in a job that demands long days, near-constant engagement on an array of crucial policy issues, and high-stakes decision-making." Feinstein's confusion has raised concern about her ability to carry out her Senate duties with several Democrats calling for her to retire.

Newsbusters: SCOTUS Rules on Google, Twitter in Mixed Win for Free Speech
The US Supreme Court ruled in favor of Google and Twitter, stating that these Big Tech companies cannot be held responsible for ISIS terrorist attacks despite content posted by users on their platforms. However, the court did not rule on Section 230 protections and instead focused on liability under the Antiterrorism Act. Free speech advocates see this as a win but are still concerned about the double standard by Big Tech in censoring conservatives while allowing objectionable content and terrorist groups to continue .

Breitbart: Oops: $3 Billion Pentagon Accounting Error Means More Arms for Ukraine
The Defense Department overestimated the value of weapons already sent to Ukraine by up to $3 billion due to poor assessment methodology, causing Congress to question whether the level of support is sustainable. Despite the financial error, the mistake has not hampered the US' support to Ukraine nor its ability to send aid to the battlefield. The Pentagon is still calculating the total surplus and the review of previous Ukraine aid packages using proper cost figures will result in more available funding for the department to use as the Ukraine offensive nears.

Breitbart: Report: Biden Drone Killed Bricklayer Father of 10, Not Al-Qaeda Terrorist
US officials are now questioning their claims that a recent drone strike in Syria killed an al-Qaeda terrorist, possibly having killed a bricklayer and father of 10 who was tending to his sheep instead. The strike, which occurred on May 3, killed 56-year-old Lotfi Hassan Misto, who didn't have any connections to al-Qaeda, according to terrorism experts who couldn't find any online chatter linking him to the group. While the military is investigating the matter, this is not the first time the US has killed innocent people in the Middle East.

The Epoch Times: Dollar Retreats From Highs but Debt Deal Optimism Fires Up Investors
The US dollar is hovering near its highest point since March due to optimism surrounding a potential breakthrough in debt ceiling talks and strengthened economic data, reducing the chances of multiple interest rate cuts in the US this year. This has led to the market’s revision of US interest rates. Arguably, further expected labour market data showing a lower number of Americans filling new claims for unemployment benefits, has raised expectations for a future rise in Federal Reserve to contain inflation. Currently, investors hold bearish bets against the US dollar vs other G10 currencies, worth nearly $12bn which is the largest held in almost 2 years. Using the hashtag .

Fox News: Michelle Obama's juice brand fails her own health standards, experts reveal
Michelle Obama's health drink, Plezi, would not meet the health standards set by the Obama administration, a new Bloomberg report found. None of Plezi's current flavors would meet the requirements to be served at elementary and middle schools due to "non-nutritive sweeteners" in the drink which could be considered unhealthy. Although Plezi could be considered a healthier, less sugar-filled choice compared to regular soda, the drink has been criticized by experts for still containing a significant amount of sweeteners. While Michelle Obama frequently pushed health initiatives to combat childhood obesity during her husband's time in the White House, the health guidelines pushed by the administration had mixed results with some schools calling them too restrictive and costly.

Fox News: Judge presiding over Big Oil climate change lawsuit reveals connection to plaintiff's eco lawyers
The chief justice of the Hawaii State Supreme Court is facing calls for recusal after disclosing his indirect relationship with the plaintiffs in a high-stakes climate change case between the City of Honolulu and multinational oil corporations. Mark Recktenwald presented at an April course in collaboration with the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project, which aims to educate judges on how to handle climate change litigation. However, the ELI has connections to Sher Edling, the eco law firm representing Honolulu, which has also received funding from left-wing organizations. The call for recusal comes amid accusations that there is a conflict of interest and a “climate change racket” between plaintiffs and a judge working together to advance an agenda through the courts.
