"A far-left nonprofit accused of siding with criminals for its work to deplete the justice system while working inside local prosecution offices is nearly entirely funded by federal government agencies, including Department of Justice.

"The Vera Institute of Justice -- a Soros-linked nonprofit -- has received $290 million from the federal government over the last 12 months alone for its work in immigration -- to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation -- and the criminal justice system. If its current contracts are extended for the next four years, disbursements could reach over $1 billion."

"This week, Hunter Biden's defense team traveled to Delaware seeking an update on the federal criminal investigation that has dragged on for almost five years. The reason seems clear: Time is running out on Hunter and the Biden family.

"After years of delaying disclosures and admissions, Hunter could now be pushing to cap off the criminal side of the scandal before more information is released in Arkansas and Washington. For the White House, even a criminal plea is preferred if they can avoid one particular claim -- and they may be succeeding."

"The left's elitism is on full display through its policies. Take President Biden's push to force Americans to abandon gas-powered vehicles. His tougher new emissions standards could require as much as 67% of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2032 to be all-electric; last year, though, electric vehicles accounted for just 5.8% of all the 13.8 million new vehicles sold in the country. The price tag of EVs is just too high, according to six in 10 Americans, which is why they wouldn't purchase one any time soon.

"Shelling out an average of more than $58,000 for a car is an afterthought for coastal elites with comfortable six-figure incomes, but it's out of reach for many U.S. households. Furthermore, fewer EVs may qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit that is supposed to make them affordable under new rules proposed by the U.S. Treasury Department."

"House Republicans on Wednesday passed a bill to raise the borrowing limit and implement sweeping spending cuts, marking a victory for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) after days of grueling negotiations that put the deep divisions within the GOP conference on full display. ...

"The bill faces no chance of moving in the Democratic-controlled Senate, where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday called it 'an extremist hard-right agenda.'

"House Republicans, however, see the measure as their opening offer in negotiations with President Biden to raise the nation's borrowing limit.

"The White House -- which slammed the GOP proposal -- has been adamant that it wants a 'clean' debt limit increase, foreshadowing the challenge that awaits both sides in striking a deal to prevent a default."

"If President Biden wins reelection in 2024 and decides not to serve his full four-year term, it could open the door for up to 10 years of a Kamala Harris presidency.

"The possibility of Biden leaving office before the conclusion of a second term was the subject of an exchange at the White House briefing on Tuesday. Biden and Harris formally announced their 2024 reelection campaign in the morning.

"Should Biden serve half of his second term or more before handing the reins over to Harris, she could serve for the rest of his term and run for president at the top of the ticket in 2028. She could also run again in 2032 for another four-year term.

"If Biden serves less than half of a second term, Harris could only run once at the top of the ticket and serve only one four-year term, per the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Biden would be 86 at the end of his second term, and Harris would be 63."

"It's been said we live in one of the most divisive and bitterly antagonistic political eras in our nation's history. That's certainly true for some of the public debates over tough issues we face today. But data from the latest I&I/TIPP Poll show there's one policy issue about which both major parties have near total agreement: school choice.

"Fed up with substandard public schools and feeling trapped, Democrat and Republican voters heartily support greater school choice by more than 2-to-1, according to April's online I&I/TIPP Poll."

"Social justice activists often don disguises. Animal rights activists pose as farmworkers to film footage in secret. Eco protesters pose as museumgoers to glue themselves to art. But the latest trend is something new: Leftists are posing as corporate investors.

"Why? Because investors own companies, and companies have power. Climate change warriors can chain themselves to every tree in the rainforest, but without the support of the public, they aren't going to get very far. Investing offers something different: a seat at the corporate table, where decisions are made by a powerful few. Convince those few and you're set. ...

"The mechanics of this scheme are straightforward. Activists-turned-investors co-opted a little-known, arcane process of corporate governance called proxy voting. Here's how: Activist groups, such as PETA, buy up a few shares of big, publicly traded companies. Then, as 'investors,' they're allowed to propose changes to how the company is run. These proposals get put to a shareholder vote once a year."

"Julie Su, the Biden adminitration's labor secretary nominee, appeared before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee on Thursday, where she attempted to make the case for her confirmation as she was grilled by Republicans over her record.

The Democratic majority on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which held Thursday's hearing, appeared largely supportive of Su's nomination. But she has not yet secured the support of other key Democrats in the Senate -- suggesting she could face an uphill battle to confirmation when the full chamber casts its vote. ...

If Su does not convince enough senators to get on board with her nomination, she would be the highest-ranking nominee yet to fail among a recent string of candidates brought forward by the Biden administration who have failed to move through the confirmation process. ...

Su's critics have argued that her policy stances are hostile to small businesses.

The top Republican on the committee, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, expressed concerns about her support for A.B. 5, a California law that aims to reclassify certain gig workers as regular employees, as well as joint employer provisions critics have said make it more difficult for franchisees to operate in California."

"A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department's top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in 'preferential treatment and politics' to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden, providing evidence as a whistleblower that conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent testimony to Congress that the decision to bring charges against Biden was being left to the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware.

"According to a letter from the whistleblower's attorney Mark Lytle to Congress obtained by Just the News, the IRS agent revealed he is seeking to provide detailed disclosures about a high-profile, sensitive case to the tax-writing committees in Congress, which have special authority under federal tax privacy laws to receive such information. That could pave the way to share the details with other committees in coming weeks.

"The letter does not state that the whistleblower disclosures are related to Hunter Biden. However, Just the News has independently confirmed the agent's allegations involve the Hunter Biden probe being led by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump holdover, according to multiple interviews with people directly familiar with the matter."

"Senate Republicans on Tuesday evening blocked a request from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on the Judiciary Committee so that committee has the numbers to advance President Biden's judicial nominees.

"Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced the resolution and asked that it be approved by unanimous consent -- a method that requires every senator to agree. Unanimous consent allows the Senate to quickly approve non-controversial measures without hours and days of necessary debate in the upper chamber.

"But Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stood to oppose the move and rejecting Schumer's request. That objection means Democrats will need to find 60 votes to approve his request, which will require 10 Republicans to cross the aisle.

"Graham echoed the objections of many Republicans by saying they can't support an effort to put another Democrat on the committee because it will mean Senate confirmation of liberal judges that Republicans oppose."
