I woke up this morning feeling angry—angry at a mainstream media more focused on boosting book sales about President Biden than covering the issues that truly matter to everyday Americans. The media’s job isn’t to promote personalities or profit—it’s to inform the public.
That’s why independent journalism is more vital than ever. Unlike Jake Tapper and others chasing bestseller lists, I’m not in this for book deals or corporate backing. I’m here to tell the truth, hold power accountable, and keep you informed. I don’t answer to big sponsors—only to you. If you value this kind of journalism, please consider subscribing today.

While everyone was sleeping, the House Budget Committee passed the Republicans' reconciliation bill by a narrow 17–16 vote, with 4 members simply marking themselves present.
Speaker Johnson managed to move the bill out of committee, but there’s still a long road ahead. The House Rules Committee is scheduled to meet at 1 a.m. on Wednesday to get the bill ready for a full vote on the House floor.
Despite the late hour, House Republicans don’t seem worried about criticism over holding such an important meeting in the middle of the night. During negotiations with conservatives, GOP leaders agreed—at least for now—to push up new Medicaid work requirements to take effect by the end of 2026. If this bill passes, it’s projected that around 13.7 million Americans could lose their health coverage.
According to Punchbowl, House Leadership has decided they won’t let members leave for the Memorial Day break unless Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” moves forward.

Donald Trump Jr. just mocked President Biden over his cancer diagnosis.
Ed Martin, the new pardon attorney at the DOJ, just announced he's opening an investigation into President Biden’s pardons. “The integrity of the American pardon system means we need to look into these pardons and figure out exactly who was involved and what happened,” he said. “We’ll get to the bottom of it. You can count on that.”
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the U.S. will be issuing waivers to its sanctions on Syria but is not fully lifting them at this time.
Ukraine war talks update: President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone this morning. This comes just one day after senior U.S. officials met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Rome. Trump has been vocal about his frustration with the slow progress toward a peace agreement, especially as recent talks in Turkey fell flat and Russia continues to escalate its attacks.
An Iranian official warned that nuclear talks with the U.S. will collapse if Washington insists Iran stop enriching uranium. He emphasized that Tehran views domestic enrichment as non-negotiable.
