Fox News: Missing sub nears critical deadline, American detained in Russia learns appeal fate and more top headlines
Russian court denies appeal by American journalist. Adam Schiff censured by House for false allegations on Trump-Russia collusion. Tech CEO warns of hostile AI if not tamed. GOP rep warns of Congress falling behind on regulating AI. Biden's student loan handout survives GOP fight to kill it. Virginia governor's endorsed GOP candidates prevail in primaries. JPMorgan Chase names new head of AI unit.
Liberty Nation: Schiff Censured – What Next?
The House voted to censure Adam Schiff (D-CA), making him the third legislator to face such action this century. The censure motion was put forward by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who called Schiff's behavior during the impeachment of former President Trump a "web of lies." Despite the censure, Schiff is using the vote to fundraise for his 2024 Senate bid, while Luna has increased her public profile at little cost. The episode is unlikely to change party affiliations but allows for both sides to engage in political theater.
The Federalist: Adam Schiff's Censure Is The Bare Minimum
Rep. Adam Schiff has been censured by the House for his involvement in left-wing hoaxes against Donald Trump. The resolution passed 213-209, requiring the House Ethics Committee to investigate Schiff's "falsehoods, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information." Democrats chanted "shame" and "disgrace" during the vote and caused a disruption in the House.
Liberty Nation: Clinton Framed Trump and It Was Covered Up, Says John Durham
Democrats attack Special Counsel John Durham's reputation and credibility during a hearing reviewing his investigation into the origins of the debunked Trump-Russia conspiracy theory . Durham discovered that intelligence revealing Hillary Clinton's plan to incriminate Trump was ignored, while the FBI rushed into a counterintelligence operation targeting Trump and his campaign. The FBI relied on politically funded and uncorroborated Steele dossier, and certain intelligence was kept from the agents working on Crossfire Hurricane, who were left chasing rumors to uncover a non-existent conspiracy. The Deep State manipulated its own people to get a desired outcome.

The Federalist: A Closer Look At BLM's 'Bankruptcy' Shows It Still Has Millions
Claims that Black Lives Matter is going bankrupt are misleading and inaccurate. While the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLM GN) may be the most visible organization within the movement, it is not the only BLM group or the heart of the movement. The Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) and the vast NGO archipelago also play prominent roles and receive substantial funding. Despite reports of bankruptcy, BLM GN actually ended 2021 with over $40 million in its coffers. However, the organization has faced criticism for its spending habits, self-dealing, and hiring practices. Ultimately, BLM GN is just one part of a larger movement, and opponents should remain wary.
Newsbusters: Riley Gaines Says She Was 'Traumatized' After Sharing Locker Room With Lia Thomas
Actual female swimmer Riley Gaines shared her traumatic experience of racing against and sharing a locker room with a transgender woman, Lia Thomas, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Gaines, who tied for fifth place with Thomas in the NCAA championship, waited for her trophy to arrive in the mail while Thomas received hers at the event. Gaines and her fellow female swimmers were forced to share a locker room with Thomas, who exposed male genitalia. The situation violated their right to privacy and made them uncomfortable, embarrassed, and traumatized.
American Thinker: Implementing the American idea
America was founded on the idea that men are born with God-given rights, and the government exists to develop a more perfect union. While it took time to implement this idea, every generation before us has worked towards it. Woke culture, cancel culture, Marxism, socialism, etc. threaten this idea, and we must hold ourselves and our elected officials accountable to implementing it.

The Container Store is teaming up with Dormify to capture part of the $10 billion dorm room furnishings market left vacant by Bed Bath & Beyond's demise. Dormify is present in five Container Stores, displays in an additional 35 stores, and its website offers over 90 products sold on The Container Store's e-commerce site.

The Epoch Times: EPA Criticized Over 'Disappointing' Ethanol Mandates in New Renewable Fuel Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency has updated the rate of biofuels for American refiners under its Renewable Fuel Standard, with the volumes of biofuels set at 20.94 billion gallons in 2023, 21.54 billion gallons in 2024 and 22.33 billion gallons in 2025. The modified standards have come as a disappointment for members of the biofuel industry and farm advocates, who expressed concerns that EPA lowered requirements for biofuels such as corn-based ethanol. The anticipated value of energy security benefits could reach up to $192m per year over the next three years, according to EPA estimates, and will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Red State: Fed’s Rate Hike Pause Unlikely to Avert Recession
The Fed is more concerned about phantom inflation than the looming recession. Despite slowing inflation, the Fed plans to resume raising interest rates next month, with many officials expecting to raise rates at least two more times this year. The current interest rate target is already the highest it has been since 2007, with the expected July increase taking it to the highest point in 22 years.
The Epoch Times: Oil Dips With Interest Rates and Inventories in Focus
Oil prices dip slightly as traders weigh potentially bullish U.S. oil inventory data against expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which could slow economic growth and reduce oil demand. Preliminary figures show a fall in U.S. crude oil inventories, defying forecasts of a build. Higher oil demand is expected due to crop shortfalls that could lower biofuels blending. The market is also waiting for official U.S. oil inventory data due at 1430 GMT and Chinese factory activity data due next week. An executive at U.S. shale producer EOG Resources says oil prices could rise as limited U.S. oil production and cuts by OPEC+ producers will limit supply in the months ahead.

National Review: For Detransitioners, There’s No Going Back
Detransitioners share stories of childhood trauma leading to gender confusion and seeking "gender-affirming" care that resulted in irreversible physical changes and further emotional pain. Autistic individuals are six times more likely to identify as transgender. Concerns about child gender transition are dismissed in biased media coverage and by profit-driven pharmaceutical companies. National Review continues to expose the reality of "gender-affirming care" for children and seeks to tell the stories of those who have been exploited.

The Epoch Times: Wife of OceanGate CEO Onboard Missing Tourist Submarine Is Descendant of Titanic Victims: Report
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, along with four other passengers, are missing after their tourist submarine went missing while surveying the Titanic shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean. Rush’s wife is a descendant of Isidor and Ida Straus, both of whom were passengers on board the Titanic. Isidor’s body was recovered and he was buried in New York’s Woodlawn Cemetery, however, Ida’s body has never been found.
The missing vessel, named Titan, was on its third trip since offerings began in 2021, and income from trips to view the wreckage reportedly cost $250,000 per person. Multiple search efforts are being led by the Boston Coast Guard, who said they picked up “underwater noises” in the search area on Tuesday. Experts have warned of rapidly decreasing oxygen supplies onboard the vessel. Billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman, and French diver and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet are also on board.
Daily Wire: Time Runs Out For Missing Titanic Sub
The oxygen supply on "The Titan" submersible exploring the wreckage of the Titanic is running out, with experts warning of hypothermia. Rescuers are attempting to reach the sub and hope to find the crew still alive, although the likelihood of success is uncertain. If the passengers are not saved, there may be recriminations, with OceanGate Expeditions potentially facing criticism for waiting eight hours before alerting the US Coast Guard when contact was lost with the submersible.
