Daily Wire: Website Revealing Over 10,000 Photos From Hunter Biden’s Laptop Crashes Shortly After Initial Launch
A website featuring over 10,000 photos from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop crashed soon after its launch. The site aimed to reveal “truth and transparency” about the family and exhibited content including revealing images of Hunter and a multitude of nude photos of his dead brother’s wife, but redacted private information like banking and credit card details. The founder claims the website is not a “hit job” but is instead a means for the American people to judge the first family for themselves.
Red State: LA Dodgers Icon Steve Garvey Considering GOP Run for U.S. Senate
Former Dodgers player Steve Garvey is considering running for the Senate seat left open by Dianne Feinstein's retirement in 2024, as confirmed by GOP strategist Andy Gharakhani. Garvey has been meeting with leaders and donors from both the Republican and Democrat parties in California, and will focus on quality-of-life issues such as cost of living and public safety if he decides to run. However, he will face a tough fight as no Republican has won statewide office in California since 2006 and no one from the CA GOP has been elected to the Senate since 1988.
Breitbart: Turning Point Action Pledges $5 Million to Fund Wisconsin Ballot Chasing Efforts with Scott Presler
Turning Point Action pledges $5 million for conservative groups in Wisconsin to fund ballot chasing initiatives ahead of the 2024 US presidential election in collaboration with conservative activist Scott Presler and his organization, Early Vote Action. The group emphasizes the importance of early voting and ballot chasing efforts and has been working quietly in the background on data, technology, and ballot chase theory. They urge the need for grassroots involvement, especially in key states such as Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin, to ensure a victory for the Republican Party.
National Review: The Corner: The Race to Be the Second-to-Last Man Standing
Despite Ron DeSantis entering the 2024 presidential race, many other candidates have followed suit, leaving the field of Republican competitors crowded. While some are positioning themselves for the future, others are running for second place, with the belief that they have the opportunity to supplant DeSantis as the last remaining non-Trump alternative. However, historically, coming in second in the presidential primary sweepstakes has carried real long-term political value. The race will likely be all about Trump until the primary has concluded, and if his base is united by a shared sense of resentment and defensiveness towards their candidate, attacks on Trump may only have the effect of solidifying his support.
Red State: Jewish Conservatives Launch New 'Jews Against Soros' Campaign
Two Jewish conservative activists have launched Jews Against Soros, aiming to counter accusations that criticism of left-wing billionaire Democrat donor George Soros is anti-Semitic. Josh Hammer and Will Scharf have set up JewsAgainstSoros.com, stating that there is nothing anti-Semitic about opposing the influence of Soros and the left-wing causes he funds. The website also highlights Soros’s funding of groups that oppose the American-Israeli alliance and his backing of left-wing prosecutors and campaigns for gun control and open borders. Alex Soros, the financier’s son, has visited the White House at least 17 times since Joe Biden became president, according to visitor logs.
National Review: The Corner: DeSantis Warns Republicans Trump Would Be an Instant Lame Duck in 2025

The Epoch Times: ‘Ghost Guns’ Ruling Is a Pointless Attack on Second Amendment Rights
A recent settlement in California prohibits the sale of "ghost gun kits" by Nevada-based Polymer80 without background checks or serial numbers. Polymer80 is the largest producer of these kits for home-made guns, which are untraceable and becoming easier to create with 3D printing technology. Critics argue that the term "ghost gun" is inaccurate and misleading, as it simply refers to home-made guns, and that regulations targeting these guns are more about advancing political careers than preventing gun violence.

Newsbusters: Flip-Flop? Musk’s Twitter Off to Rocky Start on ‘Trans’ Debate on June 1
Twitter canceled a deal to promote The Daily Wire's documentary, What is a Woman?, on its platform due to alleged violations of its policy on misgendering. The documentary features commentary from a father of a transgender child and a small business owner who used the "wrong" pronoun in a confrontation with a transgender individual. Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, responded by condemning threats of violence as a result of deadnaming, but also acknowledged that misgendering is at most rude and breaks no laws. Twitter's threats of censorship mark a stark reversal of Musk's promise to make Twitter 2.0 a free speech platform.

Daily Wire: Trans-Identifying Man To Be Placed In Women’s Prison, Receive Nearly $500K After Settlement
Convicted drug offender Christina Lusk, who identifies as a woman, will receive a $495,000 payout and be moved to a women's prison in Minnesota after winning a settlement with the state's Department of Corrections. Lusk sued the department in 2022 for placing her in a medium-security men's prison based "solely on genitalia," which she argued was unconstitutional and unenforceable. Lusk's transport to the women-only Shakopee prison and access to "gender affirming healthcare" are included in the settlement. The settlement comes after the Minnesota Department of Corrections adopted new guidelines in January 2023 regarding accommodations for trans-identifying prisoners.

Foreign Policy: What Thailand’s Election Means for Myanmar
Thailand's recent election, which saw the opposition, progressive Move Forward Party win by a landslide, could have far-reaching consequences for Thai democracy and the role of the military in politics. The party has a more progressive foreign-policy vision and has spoken out against the coup in Myanmar, which Thailand has supported, opening up opportunities for dialogue with regional partners and spurring greater coordination among Myanmar’s neighbors. The potential for change in both countries is significant, but Thailand's military-appointed Senate may block a Move Forward premiership, and the party may face domestic problems prioritizing its preferred Myanmar policy.

The Epoch Times: Top Officers Want National Guard and Reserve Forces Modernized
As the Pentagon increasingly relies on National Guard and Reserve units, military leaders are calling for better benefits, training, and equipment. Gen. Daniel Hokanson wants to transition some Air National Guard units to the United States Space Force for cost savings. The Chiefs of Reserve forces for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps also want parity with active-duty military for their troops in terms of pay, benefits, weapons, and technology. They say reservists make up 20% of the Army but get only 5% of the budget; reserve forces have different pay scales than the active-duty army. The Biden administration has proposed cutting the National Guard and Reserve budgets by $3 billion in the fiscal year 2024.

Spectator USA: Where will the vogue for censoring our best-loved authors lead?
Publishers are increasingly employing "sensitivity readers" to edit classic books that contain language or themes deemed inappropriate by contemporary standards. P.G. Wodehouse, Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming and Agatha Christie have all been targeted, with new editions issued featuring disclaimers and discreet alterations to racial terms. Some alterations have also been made to the James Bond novels, with the Ian Fleming estate insisting it was following the author's lead by removing words that would now cause great offence. However, there are concerns that censorship will continue and that authors such as Evelyn Waugh and Virginia Woolf could also be targeted.

Forbes: Meet The Company Democratizing Access To Human Cells
Cambridge-based biotechnology company bit.bio is hoping to bring stem cell research back into the mainstream thanks to its synthetic biology technology, following the launch of its custom disease model cells.

The opti-ox technology of bit.bio produces high-purity and defined human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cells, allowing drug discovery and disease mutation studies at scale, and further driving personalized medicines to tackle rare diseases.
Breitbart: EXCLUSIVE: House Bill Will Restore Vital Emergency Medical Coverage for Seniors, Says Rep. Arrington
A bill in the US House of Representatives, sponsored by Republican Jodey Arrington, would restore Medicare coverage for seniors using freestanding emergency centers. This is critical for elderly residents of rural areas who may live hours away from traditional hospital-connected emergency rooms. The Emergency Care Improvement Act would re-establish Medicare and Medicaid coverage that ended on May 11, 2021; these services provide vital care at lower cost than hospital emergency rooms. During COVID-19, coverage was provided for millions of Texas seniors. The bill is sponsored by Democrats also, and its passage would ensure that access to high-quality health care is not dependent on where a person lives.

The Center for AI Safety published a letter stating that the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks, although MRC Free Speech America & MRC Business Director Michael Morris noted that this would mean little if the executives' actions did not tally with their words. Signatories included Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, and Bill Gates. OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, admitted that the advancement of AI could cause "significant harm", but claimed his company's developments solved this problem.

David Antonioli resigned as CEO of Verra, one of the world's top certifying companies tracking carbon emissions and certifying their levels, without explanation. However, his exit comes following reports that his company's efforts on climate change are "worthless". Environmentalists are critical of carbon offsets and carbon credits, highlighting a lack of clear standards to make claims of carbon neutrality in an unregulated industry, and pointing out that a carbon offset only represents a reduction or removal of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, not necessarily addressing the root cause of emissions.
The Epoch Times: Lab Test Results Suggest Embattled Alpine Horses In Arizona Have Historical Lineage
Lab evidence confirms Spanish ancestry in Arizona's Salt River Alpine horses found slaughtered on federal land in 2022. An expert in horse population genetics, Gus Cothran, found widespread Spanish influence in the herd's genetics, which indicates that Alpine horses could have descended from the Criollo bloodline, introduced by the Spanish in the 16th century. This evidence opposes claims from the US Forest Service that the horses are feral livestock and have no protection under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. Salt River wild horse advocates say the genetic evidence supports their ongoing preservation efforts.
