Washington Free Beacon: California Senate Approves $300 Weekly Checks for Unemployed Illegals

California already offers free healthcare and driver's licenses to illegal immigrants while two million illegal immigrants live in the state.

National Review: The Corner: Progressive Wisconsin Watch’s Embarrassing Campaign against Vouchers and Christian Schools
Wisconsin Watch, sponsored by left-leaning nonprofits, including the Ford and Open Society Foundations, claims to provide nonpartisan news but prioritizes its political agenda. Its investigation into ‘anti-LGBTQ+’ policies at Wisconsin Christian schools relies on advocacy groups for sourcing. Wisconsin Watch is advocating progressive policies and lobbying against successful programs such as Wisconsin’s voucher system. Christian schools should do what the government tells them to do, even if it’s against their deeply held beliefs.

Reporter Steven Nelson questioned National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby about Joe Biden's alleged corruption, citing a committee's attempt to obtain an FD-1023 form from the FBI that allegedly shows a bribery deal involving money given in exchange for policy actions. Kirby responded by saying that the FBI had spoken about the matter and claimed that there was nothing to the claims. However, evidence suggests that Biden interacted with associates from China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine, and millions of dollars went to his family from China. The Democrat Party denies any wrongdoing on Biden's part regarding Hunter Biden's financial escapades.

Daily Wire: Oklahoma Supreme Court Strikes Down 2 Pro-Life Laws
Oklahoma Supreme Court strikes down two pro-life laws, requiring a medical emergency before performing an abortion. The "medical emergency" requirement was deemed unconstitutional, and it endangers the life of the pregnant woman and does not serve a compelling state interest.

Fox News: House Republicans, not Joe Manchin, led charge to secure major gas pipeline in debt ceiling deal: sources
House Republicans played a major role in getting a provision included in the debt ceiling package to fast-track the Mountain Valley Pipeline project. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who took credit for the provision, was urged by Republicans to lobby the White House to drop their opposition to the project. Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., appealed to Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., and Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., to include the provision, which was ultimately included in the legislation. The provision could green-light all outstanding federal environmental permits for the pipeline project. The pipeline is aimed at boosting U.S. energy security, creating jobs and increasing tax revenue for West Virginia and Virginia.
Fox News: Case against MI official who brandished rifle on Zoom call may proceed, appeals court rules
A federal appeals court has ruled that Ron Clous, a former Grand Traverse County commissioner, can be sued for allegedly violating Patricia MacIntosh's right to free speech by displaying a rifle during a 2021 Zoom meeting. Clous argued that displaying the rifle was his own "expressive conduct" protected by the Constitution, but the appeals court said it could be considered an "adverse action." Clous is no longer a county commissioner.
During a video conference meeting of Grand Traverse County commissioners, Patricia MacIntosh urged commissioners to make a statement opposing anti-government militia groups, soon after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Clous left the screen and returned with a rifle, allegedly attempting to silence MacIntosh's right to free speech. The federal appeals court has ruled that Clous has no immunity against the lawsuit.
Red State: Tim Scott Gives Hall of Fame Response to Joy Behar's Race-Based Attack as Larger Point Is Made
Democrats and their media allies attack minority Republican candidates who refuse to buy into Democratic dogma on issues like illegal immigration. Sen. Tim Scott has been attacked for not understanding systemic racism while others suggest he should "lean into being someone of color." Joy Behar recently declared that Scott and Justice Clarence Thomas "believe in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" rather than understanding racism faced by African-Americans. Scott responded by saying that the real danger is the message being sent to children, suggesting that they should stay in their place and follow the lead of millionaire TV personalities. This message causes children to grow up thinking their country hates them and doesn't want them to succeed .

Foreign Policy: The U.S. Ups the Ante in Bangladesh
U.S. doubles down on values-based foreign policy in Bangladesh ahead of national elections, reserving the right to deny visas to individuals deemed to be hindering free and fair elections and undermining democracy.

Breitbart: Nevada Republican Governor Signs Bill Shielding Out-of-State Abortionists
Nevada governor, Republican Joe Lombardo, signed a bill into law that protects out-of-state abortion seekers and abortionists from prosecution in Nevada. Lombardo’s position on abortion has shifted since the election cycle and now follows a desire to ensure that Nevada “would not participate in prosecuting those seeking legal medical care in the state.” The bill was introduced by Democrat Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro. Abortion was codified up to 24 weeks of pregnancy through a ballot measure in 1990 and could only be overturned by a direct vote from the people.

Fox News: NYT explodes behind the scenes over controversial Elizabeth Holmes profile: 'What the hell happened here?'
The New York Times faced internal criticism following its sympathetic, and widely criticized, profile of Elizabeth Holmes earlier this month. Holmes, the founder of Theranos, reported to prison on Tuesday to begin serving her 11-year sentence. According to a new report from Vanity Fair, criticism also arose from Times staff at an "all-hands" meeting on Tuesday. The Times business editor defended the controversial article that was panned by critics. However, Times executive editor Joe Kahn reportedly approved the Holmes piece even though several reporters who had covered her trial and those who had broken the story were disappointed.
Furthermore, Vanity Fair's report shed light on explosive newsroom drama that occurred before the Holmes profile was even published. In March, the Times reportedly delayed its announcement about hiring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Carreyrou, who had broken the story about Holmes' scheme for The Wall Street Journal, as interview requests for Holmes were underway. The Times faced additional criticism for a controversial profile of Holmes, a convicted fraudster, while two of its reporters covered her trial extensively.

Pieper Lewis, a teenage sex trafficking victim who fatally stabbed Zachary Brooks, the man who allegedly abused her, was resentenced to probation. The Polk County Attorney and Lewis's attorneys agreed that probation was the best outcome for her, as she was vulnerable to revictimization and posed a low risk of committing more violence. Lewis violated the terms of her initial probation by cutting her GPS monitor, but has a new "success plan" and support system to aid her in her rehabilitation. The judge ordered Lewis to pay $150k in restitution to Brooks's family and she will remain in jail until the Department of Corrections determines an appropriate facility.
