The Epoch Times: Outgoing Border Patrol Chief Calls For More Wall Construction
Outgoing U.S. Border Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz believes more border wall construction, personnel to patrol the border, and real consequences are needed to disincentivize crossing attempts. He also called for bolstering Border Patrol's ranks and investing in infrastructure across the southwest border. Ortiz's retirement announcement came shortly after the Biden administration ended Title 42, a COVID-19 era immigration policy that allowed border officials to rapidly turn away and expel illegal immigrants from the United States. After Title 42 was lifted, there was a fear of a surge in border crossings, but CBP data shows that the total number of border encounters decreased by 15% from May of 2021.
National Review: SCOTUS Leaves Room for Executive Discretion in Enforcing Immigration Law
The Supreme Court has ruled that Texas and Louisiana cannot challenge the Biden administration's immigration enforcement policies that reduce the number of illegal immigrants that are arrested and deported. The Court concluded that the states lacked standing to sue and that enforcing the law is the duty of the executive branch, not the courts. However, Kavanaugh's opinion highlights five situations where the courts do have the power to act. The decision may not tie the Court's hands in a future challenge by Missouri and Nebraska to Joe Biden's executive order releasing student-loan debts.

Human Events: DAVID KRAYDEN: Meta puts Canada on notice as Trudeau moves to
force Facebook, Twitter to pay for posts of news stories

In response, Meta has threatened to stop providing news content to Canadian users. This is the second of three bills intended to give the government more control over the internet.

The New American: Trump-Critical Ex-Congressman Will Hurd Enters Crowded GOP Field
Former Texas Congressman Will Hurd, a Trump critic, is joining the crowded GOP field for the presidential nomination. Hurd is positioning himself as a moderate alternative to Trump-style politics. He is advocating for bipartisanship and bringing both sides together. Hurd is a former CIA officer, with a cybersecurity focus. He served three terms in the House of Representatives as the only black Republican and drove with Beto O’Rourke from San Antonio to Washington, D.C., during a snowstorm. Hurd’s district was over 70 percent Hispanic and encompassed more than 800 miles of the Texas-Mexico border. He argues that illegal immigration, inflation, and crime are growing concerns. DeSantis, who is running as more Trumpian than Trump, has the most support after the 45th president, illustrating that moderate conservatism may not have a strong demand among Republican voters.

The New American: EPA Official Finally Testifies on Proposed Emissions Rules - The New American
Joseph Goffman, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official, finally testified at a House hearing following a previous absence where experts discussed the proposed tailpipe emission rules. The EPA’s new proposed rules, released in April, plan to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles and reduce emissions. The hearing aimed to clarify the challenges accompanying a sudden transition towards electric vehicles that the Biden administration is attempting to impose. Congressman Pat Fallon (R-Texas) criticized the EPA for failing to appear at the first hearing and for disregarding Congress’s role in oversight.
The Heritage Foundation’s Steve Bradbury testified during the first hearing, calling the EPA’s proposals a dangerous overreach and claiming the public is not excited about electric vehicles due to their unaffordability and lack of reliability. Bradbury stated that the EPA aims to coerce the automotive industry into building more electric vehicles than there is demand for, infringing on Congress’s authority. The EPA’s Joseph Goffman stated that the proposed rules would improve public health and energy security while lowering costs for consumers if finalized.

Meanwhile, Greene's resolution focuses on Trump's 2019 impeachment concerning the 'perfect phone call', arguing that he was wrongfully accused of misconduct and that information from the FBI informant document vindicates him.

The Epoch Times: Starbucks Shares Tumble Amid LGBT Decor Controversy
Over 3,500 Starbucks workers are planning to strike next week in protest of the company's alleged ban on LGBT-themed decorations in certain cafes. The Starbucks Workers United Union has stated that the strike, which aims to protest the company's "hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers," is also about negotiating improved pay, benefits, and fair labour contracts. Starbucks has denied the union's claims, stating that they are part of a misinformation campaign amid ongoing contract negotiations. Starbucks shares fell nearly 3% following the announcement of the strike.
U.S. retail brands have been facing far-right backlash over their pro-LGBT policies. Retail giants Target, Chick-fil-A, and Walmart have all faced calls for boycotts due to their endorsement of the LGBT agenda. New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli wrote to Starbucks, Target, and more than 50 other companies regarding how they were managing risks from the backlash to their pro-LGBT stances and how they were supporting LGBT employees. Starbucks was the first company to reply, reiterating its pro-LGBT policy in a letter on 14 June. After American beer brand Bud Light used transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in a promotional campaign, sales of Bud Light fell and an online boycott was called by some conservatives.
Daily Wire: The Continuing Saga Of Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey faced over 30 allegations of sexual assault, including making inappropriate advances towards actor Anthony Rapp when he was 14. The allegations led to Spacey’s firing from the TV series “House of Cards” and a biographical film about Gore Vidal, as well as the rescinding of an International Emmy Founders Award and disconnection from his publicist and talent agency. Although investigations and charges were brought against Spacey, they largely went nowhere, with the criminal cases being dismissed due to the death of the accuser and lack of evidence. In a civil trial against Spacey, a jury found that Spacey did not molest Rapp, but Spacey faced charges of sexual assault brought by British authorities in 2022.

The President assured reporters that his foreign policy against China would remain the same and added that he did not believe the Washington-Beijing relationship had any real consequence. Blinken failed to gain any agreements or understandings from talks with communist leaders in China over reinstating military-to-military communications during his official visit to Beijing on Monday and Tuesday.
