The Blaze: Target pulls some LGBTQ Pride products following boycott, queer and transgender designers blame 'domestic terrorists'
Target has removed some of its LGBTQ Pride products from stores in rural South Carolina, Arkansas, and Georgia, following threats of a boycott. The retailer is said to have discussed the issue of controversial products, including clothing from a designer promoting Satanism, LGBTQ onesies for babies, "tuck-friendly" bathing suits, and drag queen books for young children at an "emergency" meeting. A variety of products aimed at celebrating Pride Month were also said to have been removed following threats, according to Target, that impacted “our team members' sense of safety and well-being while at work.” The removal of the products is said to have caused significant upset amongst members of the LGBTQIA+ community, who are blaming “domestic terrorists” for the removal of many products from designers such as Ash + Chess.
Breitbart: Hakeem Jeffries: We Will Pass Debt Ceiling Backup Plan if McCarthy Deal Fails
Jeffries assures that the Democrats will pass a discharge petition to lift the debt ceiling if McCarthy’s deal fails to pass. He affirms the need to avoid a market crash and a default, adding that the extreme MAGA Republicans "are holding the economy and everyday Americans hostage." Democrats approved a freeze in spending for 2023 levels to avoid a catastrophic default. Although five Republican signatures are needed, Jeffries guarantees that a default will not occur.
The Epoch Times: Impeachment of Texas AG Paxton Made Without Subpoenaing Donor at Heart of Allegations

Red State: Lindsey Graham Shows Up to Give the Worst Take Possible on the Debt Ceiling Deal
Despite concerns about the deal on the debt ceiling between the White House and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, it was necessary given the current political makeup. Lindsey Graham's criticism of McCarthy is misguided as it focuses on defense spending without addressing the need for greater accountability and reform within the military budget. While a strong military budget is important, blindly throwing money at it without addressing fraud and waste is not a solution. Republicans should focus on winning elections and making basic reforms to address bigger drivers of national debt like social security.

Breitbart: Lil Nas X Mocks Backlash to Target's 'Pride' Clothing for Children
Lil Nas X mocked conservative parents who are boycotting Target for selling LGBTQIA2S+ “Pride” clothing for kids. Target's inclusion of the line of merchandise has triggered boycotts by conservative families. The retailer has been forced to alter its store displays to push the Pride clothing line away from store entrances and remove problematic products from stores, though its swimwear caused backlash as it was displayed near children’s apparel. Lil Nas X has previously been criticized for his homoerotic and Satanic imagery in his music.

The Epoch Times: Schumer Praises Biden–McCarthy Deal, Tells Senate to Prepare for Weekend Vote
President Biden and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy have reached a bipartisan agreement to raise the debt ceiling, along with various other measures including capping non-defense spending and enhancing work requirements for government assistance. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has praised the agreement and is preparing for a weekend vote, although it remains unclear if Senate Republicans - some of whom have criticized the deal as a "surrender" - will support it. The agreement comes just days before the US faces a "hard" deadline for passage, after which the federal government will run out of money if the debt ceiling is not raised.

Flag And Cross: Watch: Furious AOC Loses It When Asked What Dems Were Willing to Concede During Debt Talks
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is angry over the debt ceiling agreement with House Republicans and GOP Speaker Kevin McCarthy. She was seen at the podium excoriating McCarthy for not conceding everything the Democrats wanted in the debt ceiling debate. Her proclamations are incorrect as Republicans have been uncharacteristically united on McCarthy's negotiations. McCarthy announced that he had struck a deal on the debt ceiling with Biden in which Biden gave up a long list of concessions. Not everyone on the right is celebrating. McCarthy said the House will vote on the debt ceiling bill on Wednesday.
Fox News: ‘Twilight’ actress Rachelle Lefevre won't bring her non-binary 7-year-old to Target after Pride displays moved
Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre accused Target of attempting to "erase" LGBTQ visibility after moving Pride displays from some stores to the back. Target relocated the displays following threats and boycotts. Lefevre asserted that "if it was all moved for security reasons then just hire more security," rather than signalling that "LGBTQ people aren't worth protecting or fighting for." Target CEO Brian Cornell defended the move but Lefevre received a "disgusting" backlash for stating her non-binary child would no longer be shopping there. Target lost $9.3bn in market value one week after launching its Pride merchandise.
