The Federalist Papers: Ex-Fox Producer Who Called Biden 'Wannabe Dictator' Breaks Silence

Tucker Carlson announced the producer's departure on his show and stated that he was one of the most capable people at the network, but "the women who run the network panicked" and requested he be let go. The producer, Alexander McCaskill, later announced his own departure from Fox News in a private Instagram post, but has since accepted a position with Carlson's new media venture.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper warns that former President Donald Trump retaining classified national defense information could harm America’s ability to respond to potential global political scenarios. Esper called the charges against Trump in the federal indictment “very troubling” and “disturbing.” He also expressed concern that a foreign state could access materials from Mar-a-Lago, which could reveal America’s vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and military plans. Esper stressed that these serious allegations need to be taken seriously and that everyone involved should be held accountable for their actions.
Fox News: DeSantis takes aim at California, highlighting rising crime and homelessness, in new campaign video
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released a campaign video targeting California's left-wing policies, suggesting they resulted in increased crime, homelessness, and outward migration. As a Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential race, DeSantis contrasted his governing measures with that of Gavin Newsom's, California's Democratic governor. California's Financial Department data showed the state lost over 117,000 people between January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022, a decline that fell to 0.3%, while Florida experienced the highest migration with nearly 2% population growth.

The Epoch Times: Mayor who Apologised for Taking Part in Pride Told to Step Down
Mayor of Keighley Mohammed Nazam faces calls to step down after apologising for raising the Pride flag, which he described as a "lapse of judgement." He explained that his religious beliefs contradicted his involvement and that he had not carried out the necessary due diligence required of his position. He has since "personally repented for this error" and faces employment disciplinary action. The comments attracted significant backlash on social media, with some calling for Nazam to stand down from his role. The former mayor of Keighley, Julie Adams, stated that the town mayor is the "first citizen of Keighley" and should serve the entire electorate, adding that if Nazam could not fulfil this role, he should not be mayor.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to China to improve relations between the two countries after recent tensions.

National Review: The Corner: Do Wuhan Institute of Virology Scientists Often Fall from the Building’s Roof?
Chinese scientist Zhou Yusen, who started work on a COVID-19 vaccine in November 2019, died in mysterious circumstances in May 2020. US investigators were told he fell from the roof of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), where he was collaborating with Wuhan scientists at the time of the outbreak. The Senate report into Covid’s origin, released in April, confirms that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) began development of at least two SARS-CoV-2 vaccines around the same time. Zhou was reportedly around 54 years old at the time of death and had no known illnesses. The cause of his death has not been publicly confirmed.

The Epoch Times: Don't Let the Fed Pause Become a Fed Surrender to a Higher Inflation Target Rate
The Federal Reserve has paused its interest-rate hikes for the first time in 15 months, despite an inflation rate of 4.0% and “core” inflation hitting 5.3%. The committee has concerns about the banking system following the rapid rise of interest rates and the collapse of banks such as Silicon Valley Bank that had not accounted adequately for liquidity in a rising rate environment. The Fed may be setting the course to avoid recession before an election year, which could allow for a “longer tail” of moderate inflation to secure a political win. Some left-leaning Democrats suggest that the 2 percent inflation target is “arbitrary,” and the Council on Foreign Relations has written that the rate should perhaps be abandoned, but not in the current cycle of inflation. However, any change to the target rate should take effect gradually over several years.
Forbes: Automakers Are Gearing Up To Get Ahead Of EV And Hydrogen Trends
Major automakers are shifting their focus towards producing more electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This is due to public policies and market demand, with the Inflation Reduction Act aiming to cut CO2 emissions by 40% from a 2005 baseline by promoting EVs and hydrogen cars. European Union is phasing out the internal combustion engine by 2040 and the Biden Administration wants half of all U.S.-sold vehicles to run on electricity by 2030 to combat climate change.
Forbes: The Jobs Market: Not As Strong As It Looks On The Surface
Despite strong hiring trends, recent economic news suggests signs of weakness. High interest rates, sluggish consumer spending, and reluctance by businesses to spend on new facilities and technologies contribute to concerns. Layoffs have increased dramatically, with 1.6 million layoffs recorded so far this year through April alone. Even the job openings rate has dropped, with all major employment categories experiencing declines. A recent Harvard Business Review study found that the ratio of active job openings to the number of active job seekers has declined since early 2022, warning against using the superficial jobs picture to dismiss other signs of economic weakness.

The Epoch Times: Actress Jameela Jamil Says Gender-Neutral Oscars Would ‘Completely Shut out Women’
Actress Jameela Jamil opposes gender-neutral acting awards at the Oscars, suggesting that a separate category should be created for non-binary people instead, as getting rid of gendered acting awards may harm women. Jamil argues that if a gender-neutral "athlete of the year” award existed, it would mostly be won by “cis men.” She believes that non-binary people should have “their own category” at the Oscars, instead of allowing Hollywood to “completely shut out women." A study by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found that of the 13,253 Academy Award nominees between 1929 and 2023, 17 percent were women and 83 percent were men. The push for Oscars to go gender-neutral is part of a wider attempt to erase biological sex differences.

The Epoch Times: Rape Victims to Meet With Prosecutors After Not Guilty Pleas
New plans will require prosecutors in rape cases to meet face-to-face with complainants if defendants plead not guilty, aiming to reduce the number of women who withdraw from trial. The new obligation will be part of an updated Victims' Code to be made into law by the Victims and Prisoners Bill and guarantee CPS staff offer meetings with adult victims after the defendant enters a not guilty plea in court, allowing them to ask questions and seek reassurance. The number of rape prosecutions in England and Wales fell by 70% between 2017 and 2022. The Scottish National Party has floated pilot juryless trials in rape cases, which lawyers have threatened to boycott.
