The Epoch Times: Texas Senate Sets August Deadline for Attorney General Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton faces an impeachment trial, according to a Texas Senate resolution passed on May 29. The resolution, which passed unanimously, sets a trial date for no later than August 28. Paxton, who has been temporarily suspended, is accused of false statements, bribery, and abuse of public trust. The charges also relate to his retaliation against whistleblowers reporting him to federal law enforcement for alleged “illegal acts and improper conduct” as well as his pending 2015 felony securities fraud case. A two-thirds Senate vote is needed for permanent removal.
The Federalist Papers: Fox News Made a Huge Mistake: Over One Million People Have Stopped Watching Since Tucker's Ouster
The ousting of Tucker Carlson from Fox News has seen a 9-figure decrease in viewership during prime time hours. Fox News had hoped that viewers would move to rival news networks, but the research indicates that many Carlson supporters stopped watching broadcast news altogether after he left. While Newsmax, one of Fox’s closest competitors, has benefited, they are still behind Fox in terms of ratings. The numbers suggest that Carlson was the content conservatives craved, not just the vessel through which news was delivered. The future of Fox is uncertain after losing a significant portion of their viewership.
Red State: Chris Christie Prepares to Cement His Irrelevance With 2024 Disruption
Chris Christie is preparing to enter the Republican primary for the 2024 presidential election. Allies of the former New Jersey governor have formed a Super PAC to support his candidacy, with an announcement expected in the next two weeks. Christie's campaign is likely to focus on drawing a contrast with former President Donald Trump, whom he supported in 2016 but split with over Trump's 2020 election fraud claims. However, Christie's candidacy lacks a justification and may not be adding value to the already crowded field.
Fox News: Chris Christie takes major step toward announcing 2024 president bid: report
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's allies have set up a super PAC called "Tell It Like It Is" in preparation for a potential 2024 presidential campaign. The move is seen as a strong indication of Christie's intent to run in the Republican primary, where he would face a growing field of candidates including former President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former Vice President Mike Pence. Christie has already reportedly selected campaign staff in the event of an announcement, including political strategists Mike DuHaime and Maria Comella.
Fox News: Biden's radical green energy policies strain our electric grids. Here's how bad it will get if they continue
Biden's energy policy sacrifices reliable energy sources, leading to rolling blackouts and increased costs. The EPA's regulations force the closure of coal and gas-fired power plants, relying on risky renewable sources that can't deliver certainty. Democrats' climate hysteria is getting ahead of operational reality, and Americans deserve dependable electricity at a price they can afford.

The Federalist: To Fix Homelessness, Stop Fixating On Housing
Homelessness is largely caused by untreated mental illness and drug addiction, not just a lack of housing. The policies that give rise to homelessness come largely from Washington, D.C., and a bill called "Housing PLUS" has been introduced to rectify them. The bill would redirect 30% of federal housing funds to mental illness, addiction services, and job training.
The Federalist: To Address Loneliness, The Feds Want To Control Your Friends
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently issued an advisory warning about social isolation and proposing six government-directed "pillars" to address the issue. However, these pillars present a clear and present danger to the autonomy of individual lives and relationships and could potentially regulate freedom of association. The directives, which include strengthening social infrastructure and enacting pro-connection public policies, could lead to a federal infrastructure that monitors social connection and disconnection in every nook and cranny of society. The plan is potentially dangerous, threatening to take away local control and promote federal mandates.
The government's plan to address social isolation issues presents a threat to the private sphere of life, with its authoritarian and meddlesome approach to personal relationships and social interactions. The plan aims to mobilize the health sector by expanding public health surveillance, introduce pro-connection technologies, and cultivate a culture of connection. However, these directives could result in federal bureaucracy monitoring individual connections and intervening when necessary. The directive's implementation could mark the end of the private sphere of life, thereby diminishing freedoms and encouraging isolation.

Forbes: Wines That Stand In Their Own Sun: The Rosé Wines To Drink All Summer Long
Some wines are more than just a drink: they reflect the personality and frame of mind of their makers. These wines are self-assured, complete, and stand in their own sun. Rosé wines from the Bardolino commune of Italy, specifically multi-year aged Chiaretto rosé wines, are a prime example of this kind of wine. Wine consumers should focus on vintage, as well as color, when selecting rosé, and should seek out intentionally made wines at a human scale. Wine is wine, but a good glass of rosé can be far more than that.

Forbes: Gary Bettman Says ‘Best Thing I Get To Do’ Is Award Stanley Cup
Gary Bettman, the NHL commissioner, has been awarded a lifetime achievement award for his work in growing the league and hockey as a sport. During his three decades in office, Bettman has expanded the NHL from generating $437 million in revenue to nearly $6 billion, through national TV deals and franchise expansion into non-traditional hockey markets like Florida, Carolina, Nashville, Arizona, Dallas, and Las Vegas, where this year’s Conference Finals featured four of their franchises. Bettman and the NHL also began the trend of pro sports in Las Vegas, with the introduction of the Golden Knights in 2017.
Bettman believes that the most critical decision-making methods are making the tough decisions the right way and not trying to guess what's popular or politically expedient. The NHL commissioner has handed out the Stanley Cup 29 times, and he loves what he does. Bettman thinks that the game has never been stronger, and there has never been a better time to be an NHL owner. Bettman is not ready to retire yet, but he has said that he won't continue in this role into his 80s.

The Federalist: The Leftist Green Agenda Is Buying Its Way Into The News
The AP has received an $8 million grant to fund its "Climate Journalism Initiative" and has used the phrases "climate change" and "global warming" hundreds of times in its stories. This has led to the promotion of Joe Biden's energy policy as "hard-hat environmentalism," which seems biased for a purportedly objective news carrier. The environmental left is providing millions in grants to reporters and newsrooms to fill the void with its own version of news, which is paying immediate dividends. The green funders put many layers between themselves and the final project to ensure their fingerprints are nowhere to be found, and even local newspapers are offered these stories under the guise of free content.
The Epoch Times: Five Invisible Events That Can Cost Home Sellers a Bundle
Couple sells their home and gets two opinions from different companies. The first agent they knew predicted a lower range, the second company predicted $70,000 higher. They went with the second company, had a few showings and sold close to asking price. There's no way to know how often this happens, but it's a risk to only get one opinion.
