NEWS: Joni Ernst Doubles Down and Posts Fake Apology in a Cemetery

Joni Ernst doubles down and posts fake apology in a cemetery, Missouri town that voted for Trump turns on him, Donald Trump refuses to read intelligence briefings, and ICE ramps up operations.

Good evening, and Happy Saturday! Now more than ever, your support matters. At a time when social media platforms are silencing independent voices and MAGA leaders are calling for my arrest, standing up for the truth has never been more urgent. I won’t back down—and with your help, I won’t have to.

With that, here’s the news:

  • A New York Times report highlights the arrest of Ming Li Hui, an immigrant from Hong Kong who had become a beloved figure in the small, conservative town of Kennett, Missouri. Known locally as Carol, she had lived in the U.S. for two decades, working multiple jobs and raising three American-born children. Her sudden detention by immigration authorities after being called to an office in St. Louis has deeply shaken the tight-knit community, where she was seen as a dependable and valued member. Hui now faces deportation despite her long-standing ties to the town.

  • Senator Joni Ernst doubled down on the idea that everyone is going to die, in response to constituents being upset that Medicaid cuts will literally lead to some earlier deaths, by filming a fake “apology” video in a cemetery and trolling those who’s healthcare she is about to cut.

  • Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly thinking about hiring a Fox News producer to make Trump’s daily intelligence briefings feel more like Fox-style news segments to make up for his lack of traditional briefings.

  • Trump has only participated in 14 intelligence briefings by May, compared to 90 for Biden and 63 for Obama during the same period.

  • A reporter covering the Pentagon for One America News (OAN) says she was fired after speaking out against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s efforts to limit press access and crack down on media coverage of the department.

  • According to The Washington Post, some migrants are now facing criminal charges for not registering with the U.S. government after crossing the border — a shift that signals a tougher approach to immigration enforcement.

  • A day after over 100 undocumented immigrants were arrested in Tallahassee during an ICE operation assisted by Florida Highway Patrol, an internal email obtained by News 6 suggests some troopers were instructed to remove their name tags during future ICE-related actions. The directive cited officer safety due to increased public recording and sharing of their involvement online, but FHP has not yet responded to requests for clarification.

  • NOAA is forecasting a severe geomagnetic storm (G4 on a 1–5 scale) for Sunday night into Monday morning (June 2), which could bring widespread northern lights across much of North America and Europe. The aurora may be visible overhead in the northern U.S., with potential sightings as far south as the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Plains, Rockies, and even Northern California.

  • Grupo Firme, a popular Mexican regional band, announced it was canceling its performance at a California music festival after the U.S. government suspended their visas. This follows a broader move by the U.S. State Department to revoke visas of some Mexican musicians linked to music that allegedly glorifies cartel violence. The band said their visas are under “administrative review,” making it impossible for them to perform at La Onda Fest on June 1, though it’s unclear how this will affect their future appearances.

  • The White House announced it will withdraw Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA and will soon name a new candidate aligned with President Trump’s agenda. Isaacman, a billionaire and private spaceflight veteran with ties to Elon Musk, was set for a Senate vote just days from now. The administration emphasized that the next NASA leader must fully support Trump’s "America First" vision and Mars ambitions.

  • Ten men who escaped from a New Orleans jail over two weeks ago by cutting through a wall behind a toilet were reportedly aided by at least 14 people, including friends and family, court documents show. These individuals allegedly provided food, money, transportation, and shelter before and after the breakout. Among them is a former jail employee accused of helping an escapee contact family and find temporary shelter; others are facing serious charges and high bonds for helping the fugitives evade capture.

  • Officials near the U.S.-Canada border were caught off guard Friday morning when a truck carrying roughly 250 million honeybees overturned, unleashing a massive swarm. The accident happened around 4 a.m. in northwestern Washington state, where the truck, loaded with about 70,000 pounds of hives, rolled over. Sheriff’s deputies and bee experts rushed to the scene to safely recover the hives; fortunately, the driver was unharmed.

  • A new immunotherapy trial has shown that cancer patients with tumors lived 40% longer thanks to a treatment using genetically modified CAR T-cells. Experts are calling the results groundbreaking, as the therapy represents a major advance in using the body’s own immune system to fight cancer more effectively.

  • A new triple therapy for aggressive, advanced breast cancer has been shown to significantly slow disease progression, extend survival, and delay the need for further chemotherapy. The treatment combines two targeted drugs— inavolisib and palbociclib— with hormone therapy fulvestrant, leading to an average survival increase of seven months and delaying disease progression by nearly 10 months compared to the standard treatment.
