The Epoch Times: New York Democrats Call on Biden to Fast Track Illegal Alien Work Permits
Top New York Democrats have called on President Joe Biden to grant work permits to unemployed illegal aliens residing in NYC. They asked the White House to issue special federal work permits for the large numbers of illegal immigrants who have flooded into the state since 2022. New York Democrats have challenged the national party’s silent stance on illegal immigration policy for the first time, a key issue for millions of voters in the 2024 presidential election.
Adams also called on Biden to send more federal aid to New York, as the city continues to take in thousands of illegals from the U.S. border region every week. Republicans have made the border crisis a primary talking point for next year’s race, and Democrat strategists fear that infighting on the matter could weaken Biden’s chances. NY State Republicans announced a new bill requiring detailed disclosure of the $1 billion in state aid to address the crisis.

Breitbart: Claire McCaskill: 'Donald Trump Loves Communism'
Former President Trump is accused of loving communism and socialism by MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill. She cites Trump's endorsement by Vladimir Putin and his political alliance with Tucker Carlson as evidence of his socialist tendencies.

Breitbart: Yellen Warns Government 'Highly Likely' to Run Out of Cash by Early June
The US Treasury Secretary warns that the US government could reach its debt limit as early as June 1, and could run out of cash to pay its debt obligations. Janet Yellen maintained that these estimates are based on currently available data, and federal receipts, outlays, and debt could vary from these estimates. President Joe Biden and House Republicans are engaging in tense negotiations on raising the debt limit while also passing House Republicans’ desired spending reductions. The rhetoric is contentious, with Republicans seeking to attach conditions to any debt limit increase.
Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden have found some common ground after Monday’s meeting, but negotiations remain tense. The House Republicans are seeking to attach certain conditions to any debt limit increase, such as work requirements for welfare recipients, annual spending caps, and permitting reform. If Congress fails to increase the debt limit, it could cause severe hardship to American families, harm their global leadership position, and raise questions about their ability to defend their national security interests.
Townhall: Our Nation Faces a Debt Crisis. Here's How to Fix It.
Career politicians and out-of-control spending are two major issues intersecting at a critical moment in history. Both parties are responsible for the economic crisis in Washington, and a political outsider with a realistic plan, like Perry Johnson's 'Two-Cents to Save America,' is needed to fix the borrowing problem and save America from a downward spiral. Biden's White House is lying when they say that a fight over the debt ceiling and potential spending cuts are putting the economy at risk, as what's causing the risk and devaluing are their actions. The only solution to this problem is to control spending, and Johnson's 'Two-Cents Plan' to cut two cents out of every dollar of discretionary spending is a long-term solution to a long-term problem.
Joe Biden sent Congress a budget amounting to a $1.2 trillion deficit, exacerbating the current debt crisis. No politician can fix the out-of-control spending problem because that's just how they operate. Johnson's 'Two Cents Plan' is the only feasible solution as it asks the government to live with 2 cents less per dollar spent, which could balance the budget if implemented effectively. Spending just two cents less would effectively put the government on a diet and ensure minimal impact on citizens. Unless there's a significant change, failure and bankruptcy are the only certain future.

Breitbart: Blinken Tries to Heal Wounded Feelings After Biden Bailed on Papua New Guinea
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed a new defense agreement with Papua New Guinea (PNG), following President Joe Biden's canceled visit last week. The agreement includes joint patrolling and satellite surveillance to fight illegal activities. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also joined talks with 14 Pacific Island leaders and encouraged multilateralism. The deal was intended to not hurt feelings between the U.S. and PNG, and it has "nothing to do with China," according to PNG Prime Minister James Marape. Despite protests from students at several universities in PNG against the United States, China remains relatively relaxed about the visit.
The Epoch Times: Australia Providing Phillipines with Drones, Training, and Tech as China Belligerence Continues
Australia will provide the Philippines with equipment, training and technology to strengthen its Coast Guard maritime domain and protection capabilities. The two countries' foreign ministers announced the partnership on 18 May, with Australia also open to increasing its maritime cooperation in the South China Sea. The move follows increased political tensions in the region following China's repeated violation of the Philippines' economic rights by fishing in its waters and "dangerous" manoeuvres by one of the 100-plus Chinese militia maritime vessels detected in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone from 14-24 April.

Townhall: Nine Line's Tyler Merritt Calls Foul Over CCP Slave Labor Fabric in the Apparel Business
Nine Line Apparel, a patriotic apparel company employing mostly veterans and their spouses, is going above and beyond to ensure ethical sourcing of its cotton. Founder Tyler Merritt conducted isotopic testing to detect the unique fingerprint of the country of origin and found that one of his suppliers was using cotton from suppliers involved in the slave labor trade in China's Xinjiang region. Despite legal pushback, Merritt persisted to find out where the cotton came from and if the company was following its "Zero Tolerance Policy." He is urging others to be aware of fraudulent textile practices and their possible involvement in the slave trade.

Fox News: Seattle official will not resign after yelling at Marine veteran concerned by sex offender's board nomination
Seattle official Shanee Colston is refusing to resign despite demands after defending the appointment of registered sex offender Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot to a local homelessness board. During a May 3 Zoom meeting of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA), fellow board member Kristina Sawyckyj told the committee that she had been previously "touched" by Whitaker. Colston rebuked her for "outing" Whitaker, scolded Sawyckyj for raising the issue at the meeting and insisted that "everyone deserves housing," despite Whitaker's criminal record. The KCRHA does not support Whitaker's appointment, but also denounced Colston's behavior towards Sawyckyj.

The Epoch Times: Rain Forecast Could Slow Down Record-Breaking Alberta Wildfires, Officials Say
Rainfall and cooler temperatures have slowed down wildfires in Alberta, offering firefighters a much-needed reprieve during this record-breaking season. However, the fire danger remains very high to extreme in northern Alberta and high to very high along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, where more than 10,000 people remain evacuated from their homes. Progress in fighting the fires continues, but it is still a marathon, not a sprint.

The Epoch Times: There Is No Beauty in Bureaucracy
Arts institutions in Australia are increasingly being run by administrators rather than artists, leading to a corporatized repression of imagination and decreased artistic quality. Symphonies once curated by conductors can now be decided by teams of bureaucrats, leaving musicians feeling limited and subverting their creative agency. The increasing number of administrators is also costly, taking resources away from musicians, and creating a disconnect between public perception and the use of taxpayer money. #(Re)culture
