Newsbusters: ‘Blatantly False’: Twitter Label on Pro-Life Tweet Exposes Problem with Community Notes
Twitter's Community Notes tried to discredit pro-life organization Live Action's tweet showing photos of 7- and 8-week-old unborn babies by slapping a "Context" warning label on an actual photograph of a miscarried unborn baby, claiming inaccurately that the depicted embryo was not seven weeks old. The Community Notes "context" appears to have been removed since. Free Speech America & MRC Business Director Michael Morris criticized the warning labels as a form of censorship, and urged conservatives to demand that Big Tech be held accountable to mirror the First Amendment.
Fox News: Top Republican calls for inspector general probe into Biden energy secretary's stock ownership
Sen. John Barrasso requested an inspector general investigation into Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for false statements about her stock ownership. Barrasso argued that Granholm's financial discrepancies require a probe as her repeated noncompliance and disregard for ethical standards erodes the public's trust in her and the Department of Energy. In addition, Barrasso noted that Granholm violated the STOCK Act nine times and violated the Hatch Act while boosting Ford projects and holding shares of electric vehicle maker Proterra while the White House promoted the company. Sen. Josh Hawley introduced his own investigation into Granholm's finances.

American Thinker: PBS and Fox offer dueling chyrons about Trump and Biden
PBS and Fox News use contrasting chyrons during Trump's indictment speech; PBS suggests that Trump may incite violent uprisings among his supporters, while Fox News labels Trump a "wannabe dictator."
PBS inserts leftist propaganda in its chyrons, warning viewers of the violence that Trump might incite, while Fox News questions Trump's authoritarian streak. The criticizing chyrons of Fox News seem apt, considering the current administration's strong arm tactics, yet the MRC says the leftist news media has covered the Trump administration's scandals for 291 minutes and Biden's scandals for zero seconds.
Washington Free Beacon: Biden Student Loan Pause Led Borrowers To Go Deeper Into Debt, Study Finds
Student loan freezes by Trump and Biden administrations result in more debt for borrowers, as indicated by a recent University of Chicago study. Borrowers increased their debt from private lenders when the government froze loan payments, using new liquidity to borrow more on credit cards, mortgages, and auto loans.
Biden agreed to end the loan freeze as part of his debt ceiling deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which prevents him from issuing further extensions. The fate of Biden's scheme to cancel $430 billion in student debt is up to the Supreme Court, which is expected to release its ruling soon. Meanwhile, interest on federal student loans will restart on September 1, with payments due in October.

The New American: Democrats Abandon the Blue-collar Worker in Favor of 'Social Justice' Warriors - The New American
The Cheswick Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant in Pennsylvania with over 50 years of history, was retired in 2021 due to unfavorable economic conditions, high costs associated with environmental compliance, and the promotion of subsidized resources like solar and wind. The closure resulted in the loss of 60 jobs and nearly $9 million in wages and benefits for the community. Many blame the climate justice movement for driving the company out of business and making it impossible to operate.

The Epoch Times: Federal Regulator Sounds Alarm on Declining Electric Grid Reliability
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) commissioners confirmed that electric reliability has worsened somewhat in the US due to regional and seasonal issues caused by extreme weather and losing dispatchable resources, which include natural gas, coal, and nuclear power. Rising power demand caused by population growth, including legal and illegal immigration, is another contributing factor. FERC's role of improving energy systems and leading America's clean energy transition is viewed differently by Democrats and Republicans in the House. However, there are bipartisan calls to streamline hydro relicensing and define "environmental justice" to ultimately improve the efficiency and reliability of America's grid.

The Blaze: NYPD commissioner abruptly resigns after power struggle with Mayor Adams, city bureaucrats: Sources
New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell will resign at the end of June, after battling with Democratic Mayor Eric Adams and city bureaucrats from the beginning. The NYPD was created by the Mayor and so he had already implemented a transition crew and Sewell couldn't choose her own leadership team. She reached her 'breaking point' after not being consulted about NYPD Chief of Training Juanita Holmes removing time limits on Police Academy's 1.5 mile run and inviting Cardi B to an event. The "straw that broke the camel's back" could have been Sewell's attempt to discipline NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey over an alleged abuse of authority.

Backpacker: The Salton Sea Is an Environmental Disaster—and it's Also Gorgeous
The Salton Sea, located in southeast California, is a unique destination for paddling and bird watching. The man-made lake was once a popular resort in the 1940s to the 1960s until flooding caused it to be known as a dead wasteland. Receding waters have caused mass fish die-offs and high salinity, but the area remains a haven for over 400 bird species. Despite a need for environmental attention, bureaucracy has stalled solutions. Paddling allows adventurers to access previously inaccessible desert corners and experience geothermal activity prevalent along the southeast region. The abandoned Salton Sea Test Base provides a glimpse into the area's history, with evidence of naval training and testing rocket and jet technology.

Skilled Survival: How To Store Rice Long Term: The Most Affordable Calorie In The World
Rice is a great long-term storage food that is cheap, filling, and versatile. However, proper storage is critical to prevent spoilage from rodents, bugs, and mold. Utilizing food-grade plastic buckets with lids, Mylar bags, and oxygen absorbers provides the best conditions for long-term storage. Additionally, storing rice in an airtight container with oxygen removed can keep it fresh for decades. Using a dehumidifier or a root cellar to control humidity and temperature levels can also prevent mold growth and prolong the life of the rice.
The Epoch Times: Biden Administration Asks Court to Let City Enforce Nation’s First Natural Gas Ban
Berkeley's ban on natural gas piping in new construction is allowed due to health and safety concerns, according to officials with the US Departments of Energy and Justice. Federal officials have stated that the Energy Policy and Conservation Act preempts energy conservation standards, not health and safety regulations. If the Ninth Circuit's opinion on the case stands, state and local officials could have their regulatory powers on health, safety, and drought response affected by the law, the Biden administration said. Berkeley has asked for a rehearing, describing the panel’s ruling as straying from how Congress intended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to work.
