Daily Wire: ‘Changing How Washington Operates’: Kevin McCarthy Defends Tentative Debt Ceiling Deal
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy defended the tentative debt ceiling agreement he made with President Joe Biden, despite criticism from some Republicans.

He also noted that the bill has a lot for "both sides." The House is set to vote on the bill on Wednesday.
The Epoch Times: McCarthy Confident He Can Win Enough Votes for Tentative Debt Ceiling Deal
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says he's confident he can gather enough votes for a debt ceiling deal between Republicans and President Biden. The bill includes raising the debt ceiling, capping non-defense spending, and enhancing work requirements. Some Republicans are against it, including Rep. Ken Buck who called it a "surrender," and Rep. Lauren Boebert who said voters "deserve better." Democrats want a "clean" debt ceiling increase without strings attached. McCarthy is set to meet with the president again on May 28.
The New American: The HUGE Silver Lining to the Trump-DeSantis Feud
The rivalry between Trump and DeSantis has pros and cons for the Republican Party. On the positive side, it gives voters more options and keeps candidates accountable. However, it could cause division that harms the party's chances in the general election. The silver lining is that ideologically, their differences are negligible, and the hard-right, constitutionalist, conservative, America First wing is now the overwhelming majority. Regardless of the infighting, the GOP is freeing itself of its liberal neocon element.
The Economist: House Republicans are no closer to tying Hunter Biden’s activities to Joe
House Republicans continue to search for evidence linking President Biden to his son Hunter's business dealings, though no illegality or wrongdoing has been found. Hunter Biden's memoir, "Beautiful Things", highlights his independence from his father and details his struggles with addiction. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has uncovered the extent to which the Biden name has opened doors for Hunter, but investigations have not linked the president to any wrongdoing. However, Hunter Biden is currently facing potential criminal charges related to his taxes and the purchase of a gun, which could prove uncomfortable for the president.
Despite Republican efforts, there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden linked to his son Hunter's business dealings. The focus on Hunter's activities comes as he faces potential criminal charges related to his taxes and a gun purchase, which could prove damaging to the president. However, the committee investigating Hunter has not uncovered anything illegal or harmful to the president. Republicans' pursuit of the Biden family's business activities is muddied by their own involvement in legal influence-peddling. Regardless, the use of powerful fathers' names to make money seems to come with few consequences.
Fox News: North Dakota parents rage at school board for defying law on kids' gender identities: 'Whose kids are these?'
Fargo Public Schools is coming under fire after parents accused the district of not disclosing student gender identities, despite Governor Doug Burgum prohibiting the practice in a bill passed earlier this month. Superintendent Dr. Rupak Gandhi claims the policy does not exist to reject parents but rather to protect students from potentially unsympathetic and harmful home environments. The district maintains that the state law contradicts federal law on the matter of gender identity. Parents have vocalized displeasure with the policy, claiming that it suppresses discussion and diminishes the power of parental authority.
Parents of students attending Fargo Public Schools continue to voice concerns over the school district's policy on non-disclosure of student gender identities. This policy, implemented despite a North Dakota law signed by Governor Doug Burgum to the contrary, aims to prevent potentially unsympathetic or harmful home environments. Parents have taken issue with this approach, likening it to suppression and a failure to respect parental authority. The district argues the state law stands in contradiction to federal law.
Breitbart: Exclusive — Marco Rubio on China Covering Up COVID Origins: ‘It Reminds Me a Lot of Chernobyl’
Senator Rubio compared the Chinese cover-up of COVID-19's origin to the Chernobyl disaster, stating the CCP didn't want to be blamed and Western counterparts cooperated in silencing questions about Wuhan labs. He noted the Italian COVID-19 outbreak may have been influenced by the country's recent participation in the Belt and Road Initiative and a strong commercial relationship with China. Rubio praised the new Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, for taking steps to remove Italy from the initiative, which reflects an ongoing pushback against globalization. Rubio also discussed his efforts to steer the GOP towards working-class populism.

Forbes: Still No Recession: Wall Street Gurus Should Be Ashamed
Wall Street gurus predicted an imminent recession in the US economy a year ago, but positive data shows hardly any signs of it. The US government data shows that the economy grew 1.5% in the first quarter. The services sector, which consists of vital industries such as banking and advertising, is still expanding, and unemployment remains historic low. Despite some uncertainty in the housing market and technology sector, there are no signs of an imminent recession in the economy.

Breitbart: Mexican Cops Search for U.S. Citizen, Four Others Reported Missing in Jalisco
Five people, including a US citizen born in Arizona, have gone missing in the Mexican state of Jalisco.

Breitbart: At Least 21 Shot Friday into Saturday Night in Mayor Johnson's Chicago
21 people were shot, with four fatalities, in Chicago over the course of Friday and Saturday night. The Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, has already seen almost as many shooting victims over this weekend as he did on his first weekend as mayor in 2023, which saw 23 shooting victims. Illinois has strict gun control measures in place, including a red flag law, a 72-hour waiting period on gun purchases, a FOID card requirement, and an “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazine ban, but the violence continues.

Former professional golfer-turned social media influencer, Paige Spiranac, discussed female influencers in the sports space and her hesitancy to reach out to them due to past backlash from LPGA golfers and other influencers.
