U.S. Economy Beats Expectations, Adding 172,000 New Jobs in May.

The U.S. economy added jobs for the third consecutive month in May, with notable growth in sectors like hospitality and healthcare, though inflation remains a pressing concern.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. labor market added 172,000 jobs in May, with 188,000 jobs added on average per month over the last three months, according to the Labor Department. Key sectors such as restaurants, bars, healthcare, and construction saw notable growth, although the financial sector cut 22,000 jobs.
📺 DETAIL: Restaurants and bars added 48,000 jobs in preparation for summer, while healthcare added 35,000 positions. Despite the job growth, wage increases remain modest, with average wages rising just 3.4 percent from a year ago, which likely lags behind inflation. Inflation for the 12 months ending in April was 3.8 percent, with further data on May inflation expected next week.
🎯 IMPACT: The Federal Reserve, under new chairman Kevin Warsh, is likely to prioritize controlling inflation over cutting interest rates, despite calls from President Donald J. Trump to reduce rates. The seeming stabilization of the labor market over the last three months may influence the Fed’s upcoming policy decisions during its mid-June meeting.
📺 FLASHBACK: Inflation has been rising rapidly since the U.S. and Israel started military operations against Iran at the end of February, compounding economic pressures and contributing to the Federal Reserve’s cautious approach to monetary policy adjustments. Gas prices and fertilizer supplies have been particularly affected by the war, with the likelihood of a peace deal uncertain due to Israeli action in Lebanon, where Iran’s Hezbollah proxies operate.

Council Controlled By Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Scraps Publicly-Funded ‘Refugee Week.’

The newly elected Reform UK council in St Helens, Merseyside, has canceled “Refugee Week,” signaling a shift in priorities under Nigel Farage’s party.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A newly elected local council led by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has canceled publicly-funded pro-immigration events scheduled for later this month.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “In light of the illegal immigration emergency facing Britain, we don’t think that this is an appropriate use of council resources.” – Councillor George Woodward, Reform UK leader of St Helens Borough Council in Merseyside, England
🎯 IMPACT: While the cancellation of the events has sparked anger from pro-migration activist groups, it has been received positively by locals and observers nationally. The Reform-led council has been praised for following through on its election commitments by defunding the Refugee Week events, freeing up funds for other priorities and alternative projects.
📰 DETAIL: Last month, Reform UK won a historic victory during the country’s local elections. Almost 1,500 Reform councillors were elected across the country. Among other victories, Reform secured a majority on St Helens Borough Council in Merseyside, England. Reform won 34 out of 48 seats on the council, while the governing Labour Party of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was reduced to just two seats. The council had previously allocated £60,000 (~$80,000) for “Refugee Week.” The event was scheduled for later this month. Reform withdrew all support and funding previously allocated by the formerly Labour-led council, citing concerns about resource allocation and the country’s ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
📺 FLASHBACK: The conduct of illegal immigrants and refugees has become a point of contention in the United Kingdom. Earlier this month, an African refugee shouted, “I don’t want to stay in England, f**k England, I don’t want to stay,” after being convicted of rape. Late last month, seven Afghan refugees were charged with grooming gang activity. In late April, three asylum seekers were found guilty of raping a woman on Brighton Beach in southern England.

Treasury Pushes Banks Over Payroll Fraud Connected to Illegal Immigrant Labor.

The Treasury Department has issued a new advisory urging banks to report payroll fraud schemes tied to illegal immigrant labor, citing significant financial and social consequences.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Treasury Department has issued an advisory to financial institutions, highlighting red flags for payroll fraud schemes that exploit illegal immigrant labor, urging banks to report suspicious activity to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These schemes often involve shell companies and labor brokers who use stolen or fraudulent identities to evade payroll taxes and exploit unauthorized workers.
📺 DETAIL: Treasury said banks reported more than $2.5 billion in suspicious activity linked to payroll tax fraud schemes in 2025, with industries such as construction, agriculture, hospitality, and domestic services frequently implicated. The advisory outlines 18 warning signs for financial institutions, including accounts opened with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers that receive large check deposits before rapidly withdrawing cash, and companies reporting substantial revenue but little payroll. Banks are encouraged to file suspicious activity reports and share concerns with federal immigration authorities. The Treasury cited a recent case in which Honduran nationals Iris Villafranca and Osman Donaldo Zapata were sentenced for operating a cash-payroll scheme that allegedly cost taxpayers more than $38 million. The guidance follows President Donald J. Trump’s executive order targeting financial abuses linked to illegal immigration and is part of a broader administration effort to strengthen border security and enforce immigration laws.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This administration will not allow illegal aliens to abuse financial institutions to steal billions of dollars from hardworking American taxpayers.” – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
🎯 IMPACT: The advisory aims to protect legitimate businesses from unfair competition, prevent wage suppression, and safeguard taxpayer funds from being siphoned into illegal schemes. Banks are encouraged to file suspicious activity reports and collaborate with ICE to combat these practices. Ignoring such advisories could result in severe regulatory and reputational consequences for financial institutions.

Starmer Doubles Down on Denying Two-Tier Policing Exists After U.S. State Dept Weighs In on Henry Nowak Case.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is continuing to deny that two-tier policing exists, after the U.S. State Department weighed in on the murder and wrongful arrest of white teenager Henry Nowak.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. State Department criticized “two-tiered policing” in the handling of Henry Nowak‘s murder in the United Kingdom on Thursday. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his government have denied that two-tier policing exists in Britain, despite Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage and others providing evidence that police guidance and training encourage treating ethnic groups differently in order to foster “equity.”
📺 DETAIL: The dispute erupted after the State Department posted a message on X offering condolences to Nowak’s family while condemning “ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing” across the West. British Justice Secretary David Lammy and Downing Street both rejected the accusation, insisting there is no evidence of unequal policing. Henry Nowak’s case has sparked intense political debate internationally, after bodycam footage was released showing officers handcuffing the teenager as he lay dying because his killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely claimed he had been racist. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating the police response to the case, and a coroner will also hold an inquest.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We do reject any suggestion of two-tier policing across the United Kingdom.” – Labour government spokesman
🎯 IMPACT: The Henry Nowak case has intensified scrutiny of British policing practices toward white people and sparked tensions between the British government and the Trump administration, which has expressed concern over the state of free speech in Britain previously. Nigel Farage has said Nowak’s mistreatment underlines issues with “anti-white prejudice” across the British state.
📺 FLASHBACK: The White House has previously raised concerns about “civilizational decline” in Europe, questioning the continent’s social and institutional resilience in a national security strategy highlighting issues such as censorship and mass migration.

Senate Approves $70 Billion for Immigration Enforcement, Rejects SAVE Act.

The Senate has passed a significant funding bill aimed at bolstering immigration enforcement, allocating billions to ICE, Border Patrol, and related agencies, but voted down an amendment that would have included SAVE America election integrity measures in the package.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Senate has passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill in a 52–47 vote in the early hours of Friday morning, following a marathon series of overnight votes. The legislation funds federal agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol for the next three years, focusing on expanding enforcement operations and infrastructure. However, the Senate also voted to block an amendment that would have added SAVE America election integrity measures to the reconciliation package.
📺 DETAIL: The bill allocates $38.2 billion to ICE for hiring, detention efforts, and technological upgrades, while Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will receive $26 billion for personnel and surveillance enhancements. Additional funding includes $5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and $1.5 billion for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to support immigration-related legal processes. The SAVE America measures were excluded after Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Thom Tillis (R-NC) joined with the Democrats to block it.
🎯 IMPACT: This bill significantly strengthens federal immigration enforcement, supporting President Donald J. Trump’s policies on border security and deportations. It also underlines the ongoing division between President Trump, the MAGA movement, and the GOP establishment over election integrity measures such as voter ID, with clashes between the administration and congressional Republicans over the issue likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

UK ‘Conservative’ Leader Pushed DEI Judges in ‘Inclusive Britain’ Report.

British “Conservative” Party leader Olukemi “Kemi” Badenoch’s denouncement of Nigel Farage for saying “white lives matter too” as “tribalism” contrasts with her in promoting DEI initiatives when she was in government.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Olukemi Olufunto “Kemi” Adegoke Badenoch, the Nigeria-raised leader of Britain’s “Conservative” Party, publicly denounced Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage for promoting “tribalism” and “taking sides” when he said “white lives matter too” following the murder and wrongful arrest of white teenager Henry Nowak. However, her record as Minister of State for Equalities in the former Conservative government shows she endorsed DEI-driven recruitment in the police and the judiciary.
📰 DETAIL: The “Inclusive Britain” report, which Badenoch pioneered as Minister for Women and Equalities, declares that “promoting and celebrating diversity is hugely important.” In her foreword to the April 2023 update on the report, she describes its initiative as “pioneering” and said she was “proud” to have her name on it. Still live on GOV.UK, it boasts that the stop-and-search disparity between black and white ethnic groups had “decreased substantially,” that Britain had reached its highest-ever proportion of ethnic minority police officers since records began, and that, following a campaign Badenoch launched in 2022, more than 1 in 5 magistrate applicants were from an ethnic minority background. “We are committed to improving diversity in the judiciary and the MoJ is working with the Judicial Diversity Forum to improve the rate of progress of under-represented groups into judicial posts,” the report stresses.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I am also pleased to report that as of December 2022, we now have the highest proportion of ethnic minority police officers since records began and following our campaign launched in 2022 to broaden the diversity of the magistracy, more than 1 in 5 of those who applied to be magistrates were from an ethnic minority background.” – Kemi Badenoch
🎯 IMPACT: Badenoch’s efforts to paint Nigel Farage as promoting identity politics while she is opposed to it in all forms have lost credibility in light of her record in government. While she said, “I don’t want to hear about black lives matter, I don’t want to hear about white lives matter” following Henry Nowak’s murder, she publicly stated that “Black lives do matter” following the death of George Floyd in 2020.

Americans Born After 1970 Are Dying Younger.

A new study reveals that Americans born after 1970 are experiencing higher mortality rates from heart disease, cancer, and overdoses, signaling a troubling trend in life expectancy.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates that Americans born after 1970 are dying at higher rates from heart disease, cancer, and external causes compared to previous generations at the same ages.
📰 DETAIL: The research utilized a Lexis diagram to track generational mortality rates, revealing that those born in the 1950s marked a turning point where survival rates began to decline. Researchers analyzed U.S. mortality data from 1979 through 2023 and identified the 1950s-born Baby Boomer cohort as a turning point, with generations born afterward showing worsening outcomes across major causes of death. The study found rising mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and external causes among late Generation X and older Millennials, contributing to the nation’s stalled life-expectancy gains. Scientists said the trend is particularly concerning because these generations have not yet reached the ages when many chronic illnesses become most common, raising fears that mortality rates could worsen further as they age.
🎯 IMPACT: Researchers also noted a broader deterioration in adult mortality beginning around 2010, driven largely by heart disease, and warned that the United States could face prolonged stagnation or even declines in life expectancy if the trend is not reversed. This trend has continued with subsequent generations, exacerbated by factors such as obesity and the opioid epidemic. This could have significant implications for public health policy and economic planning.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The 1950–1959 birth cohort represents a transition cohort, wherein there were general improvements in mortality across cohorts born before and general deterioration in mortality across cohorts born after. Alarmingly, cohorts born after 1970 exhibited deteriorating patterns in all major cause groups at young and middle-adult ages. Layered on these cohort dynamics was a broad mortality deterioration that began around 2010 and was experienced by nearly all living adult cohorts at the time, driven primarily by cardiovascular disease mortality,” the paper observes.

Dem State Law Requires Schools and Colleges to Hand Out Abortion Drugs.

Colorado schools and universities will be required to provide access to abortion drugs next year, with exemptions for federal funding and religious beliefs.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Public schools and universities in Colorado will be required to provide access to abortion drugs starting August next year.
📺 DETAIL: Last week, Democrat Governor of Colorado Jared Polis signed a law mandating public schools and universities to stock and provide access to abortion drugs by August 2027. If an institution lacks a pharmacy from which it can dispense the drugs, they will need to be made available either at a designated student health center or an off-campus pharmacy. Several large universities, including the University of Denver and Metropolitan State University, have already announced their intention to comply with the mandate. Specifically, schools and universities will be looking to stock and provide Mifepristone, which is used in combination with misoprostol to terminate early pregnancies.
🎯 IMPACT: This mandate will lead to increased availability of abortion drugs, particularly to young people on campuses. The implementation of House Bill 1335 follows investigations into, funding restrictions for, and restrictions on Mifepristone by the Trump administration. The law will likely spark ethical, religious, and medical concerns as the drugs are rolled out across campuses, potentially leading to legal challenges. Roughly 60 percent of abortions in the United States are performed using medication, with Mifepristone being one of the most commonly used abortion drugs nationwide. The law includes some exemptions for schools if compliance would jeopardize federal grants, violate medical standards, or conflict with religious beliefs.
📺 FLASHBACK: In 2024, CVS Health and Walgreens, two of the largest drugstore chains in the country, announced their plans to dispense Mifepristone in a select number of states.

Prosecutors Describe Austin Metcalf’s Last Moments.

The murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet, began on Thursday in Collin County, Texas, with prosecutors revealing that Anthony admitted to the stabbing after his arrest.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Karmelo Anthony, 19, is on trial for allegedly stabbing and killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025. Prosecutors allege Anthony attacked Metcalf after a confrontation over Anthony being asked to leave a team tent, while the defense claims Anthony acted in self-defense during a physical altercation initiated by Metcalf.
📺 DETAIL: According to prosecutors, Metcalf’s final words were, “I’ve been stabbed,” before collapsing and later dying in the arms of his twin brother, Hunter. They also said Anthony admitted to the killing after his arrest. Defense attorneys argued that Anthony acted in self-defense, saying Metcalf initiated the physical confrontation and emphasizing the size difference between the two teens. The defense described Anthony as a hardworking student-athlete who feared for his safety during the encounter. Jurors were shown surveillance footage of the incident and heard testimony from a forensic video analyst as the trial got underway. Anthony, who has been free on bond since his arrest, faces a murder charge.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I’m not alleged, I did it.” – Karmelo Anthony.
🎯 IMPACT: If convicted, Anthony faces a possible life sentence. The trial, which is expected to last two weeks, will determine whether his actions constituted self-defense or a premeditated attack.

State Supreme Court Blocks Fake Elector Lawfare Against Mark Meadows.

The Arizona Supreme Court has upheld the decision of a lower court in a major blow to Democrat state Attorney General Kris Mayes’s efforts to prosecute allies of President Donald J. Trump.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Arizona Supreme Court denied an appeal from Democrat state Attorney General Kris Mayes related to efforts to prosecute allies of President Donald J. Trump. 
📺 DETAIL: Arizona’s Supreme Court denied an appeal requesting that the state’s “fake elector” case return to a grand jury. The case targeted several allies of President Trump, such as former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and others accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. The defense argued that the Electoral Count Act, a law that governs the certification of presidential contests, allowed for alternate electors in cases where the outcome of an election is disputed. A lower court in Phoenix, Arizona, had already ruled that the grand jury was not properly informed about the Electoral Count Act in order to make an informed decision about the case. The Arizona Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s ruling, agreeing that there were procedural problems with the original grand jury. This follows similar rulings in Georgia and Michigan, although similar cases continue in Nevada and Wisconsin.
🎯 IMPACT: The ruling by the state’s Supreme Court is a significant setback for Democrat Attorney General Mayes, who now plans to present the case again to a new grand jury. This development represents the first substantive update on the Arizona “fake elector” case since May, potentially indicating that the case is losing momentum. Joe Biden won the state of Arizona in the 2020 presidential election by just 10,457 votes, making it a key battleground in post-election disputes. Despite the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling, Mayes will continue to pursue the prosecution, underscoring the Democrats’ determination to pursue lawfare against the President and his allies, even several years later.
📺 FLASHBACK: The state’s “fake elector” case has been ongoing for several years. The investigation was launched by Mayes. The case seeks to indict so-called “fake electors” in Arizona, or rather, people who believe President Trump won the state in 2020 Presidential election.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Hits Three-Month High in Polls.

Recent polling from the United Kingdom shows rising support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has hit a three-month high in the polls following white teenager Henry Nowak’s murder and wrongful arrest.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, Find Out Now, a British polling firm, released its latest overview of voting intention in the United Kingdom. The pollsters asked a sample of roughly 3,000 British adults, “Thinking about your own constituency, if a general election were held tomorrow, which party would you vote for?” The resulting polling shows Reform in the lead with 27 percent. The other parties trailed by double digits. The formerly governing Conservative Party and the far-left Greens were placed in joint-second on 17 percent, the governing Labour Party of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was on 15 percent, and the Liberal Democrats were on 11 percent. Support for parties grouped under “Other,” such as the Elon Musk-backed Restore Britain party, totaled seven percent.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Our ongoing voting intention tracker finds the highest score for Reform in 3 months.” – Tyron Surmon, Head of Research at Find Out Now.
🎯 IMPACT: The poll showed a rise in support for Reform compared to previous months, with the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats experiencing a dip, and Labour and the far-left Greens remaining stagnant. The poll was conducted between Wednesday and Thursday this week. These findings represent a three-month high in support for Reform. The uptick in support for Reform UK coincides with the release of bodycam footage of the murder and wrongful arrest of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student, in Southampton, England. This may indicate rising salience around anti-white ideology, two-tier policing, and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) policies and training in public institutions. Nowak was stabbed to death by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa with an eight-inch Sikh religious dagger. Digwa and his family falsely accused Nowak of being racially abusive. When the police arrived, Nowak told the officers repeatedly that he had been stabbed, but the officers dismissed his pleas for assistance and handcuffed him shortly before he died. In response to the footage, Farage said the British public should feel “pure, cold rage.”
