The Blaze: NYC mayor blames Republicans for struggles handling migrant influx in sanctuary city he helms
NYC Mayor Eric Adams blamed Republicans for the city's struggle to deal with thousands of migrants, stating that comprehensive immigration policy needs to be addressed. He also believed that the $30 million the White House has pledged to NYC was insufficient, given that the city has spent over $4.3 billion in dealing with the migrant crisis. Adams suggested a "decompression strategy" to ease the burden on the city, but bussing migrants to nearby counties resulted in legal challenges from Suffolk, Orange, and Rockland counties, who stated that it was an unfair burden.
Fox News: NYC Mayor Adams: Migrants should be sent to every city 'throughout the entire country'
NYC Mayor supports sending U.S.-Mexico border migrants to other cities in the U.S. to relieve New York's burden and puts emphasis on comprehensive immigration reform and decompression strategy while pushing back on Republicans. Adams said NYC has already spent over $1 billion that “went to our taxpayers for local-supported immigration” and needs over $4 billion more in funding. Critics and mostly Republican-led municipalities have pushed back on Adams' plans to bus migrants upstate and to Long Island to stay in hotels for months .

Fox News: McCarthy announces 'productive' budget call with Biden, says they will meet 'personally'
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet with President Biden on Monday to continue negotiations on raising the debt ceiling. Biden has stated that the current Republican offer is "unacceptable" and complained that McCarthy has been dragged to the right by "MAGA Republicans." McCarthy says he and Biden will meet "personally" on Monday to work out a solution.
Biden has 11 days to come to an agreement with House Republicans before the U.S. defaults on its debt for the first time in history. Biden appeared to wash his hands of the issue in a statement to reporters in Japan, however, saying, "I've done my part," and declaring himself "blameless" if there is a default. The White House claims some "MAGA Republicans" are working to intentionally derail negotiations and cause a default, which would lead to economic disaster and potentially harm Biden's re-election effort.
Fox News: DOJ Jan. 6 prosecutor and tech lawyer who defends social media giants faced off in sealed hearing: report
A lawyer representing Twitter, Google and Meta squared off against a federal prosecutor who worked on Justice Department investigations of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, during a court hearing in Washington, D.C. As part of the ongoing probe into the riot, special counsel Jack Smith has won the right to subpoena testimony from Mike Pence, former chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump social media manager Dan Scavino. The proceedings between the prosecutor and lawyer are unclear, but court records suggest that the litigation has been ongoing for months.
National Review: Jim Jordan Threatens to Use the Power of the Purse against the FBI
House Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) says he and his colleagues will use Congress’s power of the purse to reform the FBI and rein in its malfeasance after recent damaging revelations. The FBI misused the FISA Section 702 database, targeted pro-life groups, Catholics, and parents attending school-board meetings, and began their Crossfire Hurricane probe of Trump’s campaign based on “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence.” Jordan asserted no way a clean reauthorization of FISA. All appropriations bills will be passed in the coming months, targeting the FBI’s hundreds of millions to construct a new facility.
American Thinker: In the debt ceiling battle, Biden wants to erase a chunk of the Constitution
Biden uses the 14th Amendment to arrogate Congress's powers, leading to an impasse in debt ceiling talks. The debt ceiling is the maximum amount of money that the U.S. can borrow cumulatively by issuing bonds. The House is constitutionally responsible for controlling government spending. Bond issuance is essential to U.S. government funding. Leftists argue that, if Congress refuses to issue bonds, the president can act unilaterally to issue bonds under the first sentence of the 14th Amendment. However, law professors and the Constitution argue that Biden cannot erase the House’s power, which may lead to a constitutional crisis.

Fox News: Trans woman sues NYC yoga studio for $5 million after being told to leave women's locker room: 'Humiliation'
Ali Miles, a transgender woman, is suing Hot Yoga Chelsea for $5 million after being asked to leave the women's locker room and use the men's facilities. Miles informed the management of her gender status and requested to use a private, non-gender-specific space, but was allegedly forced to use a men's restroom and locker room, causing humiliation and frustration. The incident has sparked a third gender-identity discrimination lawsuit, which Miles has filed in 13 months. Similar controversies have surfaced throughout the country, including incidents at a Wisconsin high school.
The Federalist Papers: Target Promotes ‘Tuck-Friendly’ Female Swimsuits For Children, 'Deserves the Bud Light Treatment'
Target is showcasing a line of trans-friendly swimsuits designed with "tuck-friendly construction" in preparation for Pride Month. Comedian Chrissie Mayr tweeted about her discovery, which prompted criticism from anti-LGBTQ groups. The swimsuits also include "extra crotch coverage" and are available in children's sizes, which has caused concerns about indoctrination and grooming.

Flag And Cross: Peter Schiff Says Raising Debt Ceiling Won't Preserve America's Prosperity But This Will
Economist Peter Schiff believes that raising the debt ceiling won't fix the US's economic problems. He argues that not raising the ceiling, cutting government spending and balancing the budget are the best options. The Republicans want spending cuts to be part of the bill to raise the debt ceiling, while the Biden administration is looking at additional revenue sources through taxation. Schiff also believes that the current inflation rate of 4.93% will lead to a new, worse form of the Great Depression.
National Review: The Corner: A Question about Biden Bonds
President Biden's suggestion that he could unilaterally issue bonds to avoid hitting the debt ceiling is baseless and potentially damaging to the economy. The return to normal interest rates is already causing interest payments to surge, and issuing unauthorized debt could make US bonds a riskier investment, driving up borrowing costs. It's foolish for an American president to prioritize lawlessness over lawful compromise, especially when it could lead to instability and further economic problems.
The Epoch Times: Banking System Stress Persists as Deposits, Loans Decline Again
Commercial bank deposits in the US fell by $26.4bn in the week ending May 10, marking the third consecutive week of rising deposit outflows. This trend has been attributed to banks returning to normal conditions after the liquidity injections prompted by the pandemic. Although some analysts suggest that a fall in deposits leads to reduced loans, others claim that reduced loans lead to drops in deposits. While observers believe that the worst is over for the banking system, Western Alliance Bancorporation recently filed an SEC statement which claimed that deposits had increased by more than $2bn in the period to May 12. The Treasury Secretary's alleged comments supporting bank mergers has led to a slump in regional bank stock prices.

National Review: The Corner: Electric Vehicles & Chargers: Advancing Backwards
Range anxiety is still a major issue for EV drivers, as Consumer Reports have found that driving in cold weather can sap up to 25% of an EV's range. Furthermore, driving at constant high speeds isn't as energy-efficient for EVs as it is for internal combustion-engined cars, although it should be noted that EV battery degradation is relatively slow. Beyond range anxiety, EVs face challenges with the availability and reliability of public charging stations, particularly as more drivers adopt EVs.
