Vatican Could Host Peace Negotiations Between Russia and Ukraine.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump announced a breakthrough two-hour call with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, paving the way for immediate Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks, with the Vatican offering to host negotiations.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Pope Leo XIV, and European Union (EU) leaders.

📍Where & When: President Trump made his announcement on Truth Social on May 19, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

⚠️ Impact: Trump’s diplomatic masterstroke sets the stage for peace, leveraging U.S. influence to end a bloody conflict while opening trade opportunities, reinforcing his America First vision.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump has announced what may be a significant step toward ending the Ukraine war after a two-hour call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a Truth Social post, Trump revealed that Russia and Ukraine will “immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” with the Vatican, under Pope Leo XIV, offering to host the talks.

“The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent,” Trump wrote. He stressed that Russia seeks “largescale TRADE with the United States” post-conflict, envisioning “massive amounts of jobs and wealth” for Russia and trade benefits for Ukraine during its rebuilding.

Trump said he had informed key leaders, mentioning Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, France’s Emmanuel Macron, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, and Finland’s Alexander Stubb—but not Britain’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

The Vatican’s role as a neutral host, proposed by Pope Leo XIV, could add moral weight to the proposed negotiations. However, Russia and Ukraine are predominantly Eastern Orthodox rather than Catholic.

President Trump’s announcement comes as the Ukraine war, now in its third year, is estimated to have claimed over 500,000 lives and displaced millions, per United Nations (UN) estimates. Trump’s intervention contrasts with the Biden government’s prolonged support for the Ukrainian war effort, despite no signs of significant Ukrainian progress after 2022, prolonging the killing despite no obvious path to victory for Ukraine.

By contrast, Trump’s focus on immediate talks and trade-driven rebuilding positions the U.S. to break the impasse between Russia and Ukraine and end the “catastrophic bloodbath.”

U.S. Govt to Pay Ashli Babbitt’s Family MILLIONS in Major Lawsuit Settlement.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Trump administration has agreed to a nearly $5 million settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran fatally shot during the January 6, 2021, Capitol protests.

👥 Who’s Involved: Ashli Babbitt’s family, the Trump administration, Judicial Watch, and shooter Michael L. Byrd, of the Capitol Police.

📍 Where & When: U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021; settlement details reported on May 19, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: The settlement resolves a lawsuit brought by Babbitt’s estate but does not include an admission of wrongdoing by the government.

IN FULL:

The Trump administration has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer in the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. The settlement comes after Babbitt’s family had filed a wrongful death lawsuit last year, demanding $30 million in damages.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) initially opposed the lawsuit, and a trial would have taken place in July of next year. However, both parties announced earlier this month that they had reached a settlement agreement. Judge Ana C. Reyes of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia called on the parties to announce the deal by May 22.

The DOJ has reportedly agreed to pay Babbitt’s family just under $5 million. Notably, initial reports suggesting that a third of the settlement would be paid to the family’s attorneys and Judicial Watch, which assisted with legal counsel, appear to be false. The claims come from sources who spoke anonymously to The Washington Post. Neither the DOJ nor the lawyers for Babbitt’s family immediately confirmed the deal’s details. According to Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, while the organization cannot yet comment on the actual settlement sum, the group “is not getting a third (or any portion) of any settlement. We are representing Ashil’s family pro bono!”

The deal marks the first sense of justice for Babbitt’s family, over four years since she was shot and killed by Capitol Police officer Michael L. Byrd. Following the fatal shooting, Byrd saw no disciplinary action whatsoever and was even granted over $36,000 in retention funds after the killing. He was also provided with a security detail and temporary lodging at a military facility.

President Donald J. Trump praised Babbitt in March, saying, “Ashli Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan. And she was innocently standing there, they even say trying to sort of hold back the crowd, and a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her.”

Trump COVID Cocktail Pharma Firm to Buy Up 23&Me.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Regeneron has agreed to purchase 23andMe for $256 million through a court-supervised bankruptcy sale.

👥 Who’s Involved: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki (former CEO), Joe Selsavage (interim CEO).

📍 Where & When: The deal was announced Monday; 23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “We are pleased to reach an agreement with a science-driven partner that maintains our team and helps ensure our mission will carry forward,” said Joe Selsavage, 23andMe’s interim CEO.

⚠️ Impact: Regeneron will acquire 23andMe’s genetic testing and research assets but not its telehealth business, while committing to uphold privacy laws and policies.

IN FULL:

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has finalized a $256 million agreement to acquire genetic testing company 23andMe, following the latter’s bankruptcy filing earlier this year. The purchase, made under a court-supervised sale process, includes 23andMe’s genetic testing services and health research assets but excludes its Lemonaid Health telehealth division.

Notably, President Donald J. Trump received a dose of a Regeneron antibody drug in late 2020 when he was diagnosed with COVID-19. At the time, the medication was still in an experimental phase, but showed promise as a treatment for the virus.

The consumer genetic testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March 2025, citing financial difficulties. At the time, it announced plans to seek a buyer and confirmed the resignation of its co-founder and CEO, Anne Wojcicki.

Under the terms of the agreement, Regeneron, based in Tarrytown, New York, will continue to provide 23andMe’s consumer genetic services without interruption. The company also emphasized its commitment to adhering to 23andMe’s existing privacy policies and applicable laws to safeguard sensitive customer information.

“We have deep experience with large-scale data management,” said George Yancopoulos, Regeneron’s co-founder, in a statement. He added: “With the consent of individuals, we use this data to drive discoveries that benefit science and society, while maintaining a strong track record of protecting genetic data.”

Privacy concerns have surrounded 23andMe’s vast database, which includes the DNA information of approximately 15 million customers. The company’s services allow users to explore their ancestry and genetic health profiles, including identifying potential hereditary risks. Its research wing has also been involved in developing treatments for cancer, immune disorders, and other conditions.

Interim CEO Joe Selsavage expressed optimism about the acquisition, stating, “We are pleased to reach an agreement with a science-driven partner that maintains our team and helps ensure our mission will carry forward. With Regeneron’s expertise in genetic sequencing, testing, and discovery, we look forward to continuing to help people access and understand the human genome for the benefit of customers and patients.”

Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Says He Has the Same Cancer As Biden, Expects to Die This Summer.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip Dilbert, has revealed he is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

👥 Who’s Involved: Scott Adams, former President Joe Biden, and their respective medical teams.

📍 Where & When: Adams disclosed his diagnosis on a Rumble livestream on Monday, May 19, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “I expect to be checking out sometime this summer,” Adams said, adding that he has “had it longer than [Biden] has had it. Well, longer than he’s admitted to having it.”

⚠️ Impact: Both Adams and Biden are facing serious health challenges, with Adams sharing that the cancer has spread to his bones and his prognosis is grim.

IN FULL:

Scott Adams, the creator of the popular comic strip Dilbert, has disclosed that he is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer, similar to the condition recently revealed by former President Joe Biden.

Adams made the announcement during a livestream on the video platform Rumble on Monday. He revealed that his cancer has metastasized to his bones and expressed that his time may be limited, saying he expects to “be checking out sometime this summer.”

“I’ve had it longer than [Biden] has had it. Well, longer than he’s admitted to having it,” the 67-year-old cartoonist added.

The news follows a statement from Biden’s office on Sunday confirming the former president’s diagnosis with the same aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Adams, whose Dilbert comic strip has been a staple in newspapers and online platforms for decades, had not previously disclosed his health struggles to the public. The legendary cartoonist became a prominent pro-Trump voice around the time of the 2016 election, predicting the America First leader would win the race against what were, at the time, long odds due to his persuasion skills, and eventually endorsing him.

Top Paid BBC Star Quits Over Anti-Semitic Meme.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Gary Lineker is leaving the BBC after criticism for sharing an anti-Semitic Instagram post.

👥 Who’s Involved: Gary Lineker, BBC Director-General Tim Davie, Campaign Against Antisemitism, and the Palestine Lobby group.

📍Where & When: Announcement made Monday; Lineker steps down from the Match of the Day soccer show after this season.

💬 Key Quote: “I would never consciously repost anything antisemitic—it goes against everything I stand for,” claimed Lineker.

⚠️ Impact: Lineker’s departure ends his 24-year tenure with the BBC and raises questions about impartiality and social media use by public figures.

IN FULL:

Gary Lineker, a former England soccer star and top-paid BBC presenter, will step down from his role at the de facto state broadcaster following backlash over his social media activity. The controversy arose after Lineker reposted an Instagram story from the group Palestine Lobby, which featured a rat and was titled “Zionism explained in two minutes.” The image drew criticism due to its historical association with anti-Semitic propaganda.

In a statement Monday, the BBC confirmed Lineker would leave the corporation entirely after the final episode of the Match of the Day show this season. Lineker, 64, had initially planned to step back from hosting the iconic soccer program but remain involved in other BBC coverage. Instead, he will now depart fully.

BBC Director-General Tim Davie said, “Gary has acknowledged the mistake he made. Accordingly, we have agreed he will step back from further presenting after this season.”

Lineker apologized last week, claiming he had shared the post without realizing its offensive nature. “I would never knowingly share anything antisemitic,” he said, adding that the post was deleted once he became aware of the issue. “Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action,” he added.

Lineker’s social media activity has previously caused friction with the BBC. In March 2023, he was temporarily suspended for criticizing the British government’s asylum policy, leading the BBC to update its social media guidelines for prominent presenters. The broadcaster and its employees are supposed to be impartial, as the public funds it through a compulsory license fee.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism welcomed Lineker’s departure, accusing him of promoting “dehumanizing and extreme messages” and flouting the BBC’s impartiality rules.

The BBC itself has been accused of bias against Israel in its conflict with Hamas, breaching its own editorial guidelines over 1,500 times. Another BBC star was even linked to funding the terrorist group Hezbollah earlier this month.

A Pfizer-COVID Investigation May Finally Be on the Cards.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The House Judiciary Committee is investigating claims that Pfizer executives delayed COVID-19 vaccine trial results to influence the 2020 election.

👥 Who’s Involved: Philip Dormitzer, Pfizer’s former head of vaccine research and development; the House Judiciary Committee; federal prosecutors; and GSK (GlaxoSmithKline).

📍 Where & When: Allegations stem from 2020, with ongoing investigations in 2025.

💬 Key Quote: Dormitzer reportedly stated, “Let’s just say it wasn’t a coincidence, the timing of the vaccine.”

⚠️ Impact: The investigation could reveal whether Pfizer acted to impact the 2020 presidential election, and may lead to further scrutiny of the pharma giant’s practices.

IN FULL:

The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into allegations that Pfizer executives deliberately slowed COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The claims center on comments made by Philip Dormitzer, Pfizer’s former head of vaccine research and development.

According to Dormitzer, Pfizer’s top research executives intentionally delayed the completion of clinical testing, ensuring results would not be available before the election. Dormitzer reportedly told colleagues at his subsequent employer, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), that the timing of the vaccine’s release was “not a coincidence.” GSK later passed this information to federal prosecutors in New York.

The Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, has demanded that Dormitzer provide all relevant documents related to Pfizer’s vaccine trials from March 1, 2020, to the present. Dormitzer has also been asked to schedule a transcribed interview with the committee by May 29. Dormitzer reportedly requested a transfer to Canada after Trump’s 2024 re-election, citing fears of investigation.

Positive trial results, if disclosed earlier, could have politically benefited President Donald J. Trump, then serving his first term. Trump has previously accused Pfizer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of withholding vaccine success to hinder his 2020 re-election campaign.

Trump Orders Investigation Into Oprah, Springsteen, Beyoncé, Bono and More…

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump questioned whether Kamala Harris paid entertainment elites for endorsements during her 2024 campaign.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, Kamala Harris, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee, and Tyler Perry.

📍 Where & When: Trump made the statement on Truth Social on Monday, May 19, 2025; celebrity endorsements occurred during Harris’s 2024 campaign rallies in various locations, including Atlanta, Georgia, and Houston, Texas.

💬 Key Quote: “BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!” — President Trump.

⚠️ Impact: Trump’s comments raise questions about potential election law violations and the role of celebrity influence in political campaigns.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump has raised concerns over whether Kamala Harris compensated entertainment elites for their endorsements during her struggling 2024 presidential campaign. In a post on Truth Social on Monday morning, Trump raised the possibility, suggesting a potential investigation into whether election laws were violated.

“According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG!” Trump wrote, continuing: “Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT.”

He added: “THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!”

The President’s accusations come amid renewed attacks from Bruce Springsteen, who drew Trump’s ire last week. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Springsteen announced his support for Harris, stating, “Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

At a campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Harris received backing from a host of Hollywood stars, including Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee, and Tyler Perry. Meanwhile, pop icon Beyoncé Knowles-Carter endorsed Harris during a rally in Houston, Texas, focusing her remarks on abortion.

“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” Beyoncé stated. “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations.”

Trump’s Truth Social post suggests he believes these endorsements may warrant scrutiny under election law. Notably, campaign finance records indicate that the Harris campaign paid at least $1 million to Oprah‘s production company. This payment was supposedly in exchange for the company’s assistance with the “United for America” livestream rally featuring numerous celebrities and endorsements in September 2024.

BREAKING: CBS News Chief Resigns Amidst Lawsuit Over Kamala Harris’s Edited ’60 Minutes’ Interview.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Wendy McMahon, CBS News president and CEO, announced her resignation, citing disagreements on the company’s direction.

👥 Who’s Involved: Wendy McMahon, George Cheeks (CBS CEO), Bill Owens (former “60 Minutes” producer), Paramount Global, and Donald Trump.

📍 Where & When: CBS News, announcement made Monday, October 2023.

💬 Key Quote: “It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward,” McMahon stated in her resignation memo.

⚠️ Impact: McMahon’s departure is the second high-profile exit within a month, as CBS News faces internal tensions over a merger and a $20 billion lawsuit from Trump.

IN FULL:

Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News, announced her resignation on Monday, citing disagreements over the company’s future direction. Her departure marks the second significant leadership change at CBS News in recent weeks, following the exit of longtime “60 Minutes” producer Bill Owens.

In a memo to staff, McMahon, who assumed leadership of CBS News in 2023, called her tenure “a privilege and joy” but acknowledged recent challenges. “It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward,” she wrote. “It’s time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership.”

George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS, responded in a separate memo, praising McMahon’s contributions. “Under her leadership, the competitive position and culture at our television stations have improved dramatically, and we’ve expanded local news significantly,” he stated.

McMahon’s resignation follows the exit of Bill Owens, who stepped down after alleging that “60 Minutes” had lost its journalistic independence. Owens cited unsustainable internal pressures from Paramount executives in his farewell memo.

The upheaval comes as CBS News’ parent company, Paramount Global, works to finalize an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. The merger, which requires federal approval, has reportedly created internal discord. At the same time, Paramount is addressing a $20 billion lawsuit from former President Donald Trump. The lawsuit alleges that “60 Minutes” selectively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

While media types have dismissed the lawsuit as baseless, Owens pointed to mounting challenges in his resignation memo, writing, “Having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward.”

CBS has yet to announce who will succeed McMahon as the network navigates these ongoing challenges.

Biden Pardon Probe Will Include Autopen Subpoenas, Pledges Top Republican.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Pardon Attorney Ed Martin confirmed an investigation into Joe Biden’s end-of-term pardons, including those for Hunter Biden and Liz Cheney, amid claims they were signed with an autopen while Biden was mentally unfit.

👥Who’s Involved: Ed Martin, President Donald J. Trump, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, and former President Joe Biden.

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C., with Martin’s announcement on May 19, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “The integrity of the American Pardon system requires that we examine the Biden pardons and who did what,” Ed Martin stated.

⚠️ Impact: Trump’s DOJ, led by Martin, is exposing potential abuses in Biden’s pardons, reinforcing America First accountability while uncovering who truly ran the White House during Biden’s decline.

IN FULL:

Newly appointed Pardon Attorney Ed Martin has confirmed that pardons issued by former President Joe Biden at the end of his term are being investigated. “The integrity of the American Pardon system requires that we examine the Biden pardons and who did what,” he said of the pardons, issued to controversial figures including Biden’s son, Hunter, and members of the January 6 Committee, such as Liz Cheney. We will get to the bottom of it. Count on us,” Martin vowed.

A prominent America First voice, Martin initially served President Donald J. Trump as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia but could not continue after Republican-in-name-only Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) blocked his confirmation. President Trump has now appointed him as Pardon Attorney and leader of a Weaponization Working Group in the Department of Justice instead.

Martin’s confirmation of an investigation into Biden’s pardons comes as James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, says evidence has been uncovered that, “[W]hat we’ve found is, not just with the pardons he issued, but many of the executive orders that the courts are now using to Trump-proof many of the executive orders that President Trump is trying to implement to make government more efficient… these were all signed with the autopen.”

“Joe Biden wasn’t capable of making decisions; he wasn’t coherent,” Comer said of the period when these pardons and executive orders were signed. “We think we’ve identified who the staffers are… We’re going to bring everyone that we believe was involved in any role in the use of the autopen. We’re going to invite them to come in for a transcribed interview; if they won’t, then they will receive a subpoena and they will have a full-blown deposition—but we want to find out who was actually making the decisions in the White House during the last nine months of the Biden administration when he was clearly in decline.”

President Trump has also argued that Biden’s autopen pardons should be considered “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT,” suggesting his predecessor “did not know anything about them!”

Further questions over Biden’s mental and physical health were raised over the weekend, when it was revealed he is suffering from “aggressive” prostate cancer, likely present during a significant portion of his time in office.

Vance: Putin ‘Doesn’t Know How to End War,’ Creating ‘Impasse.’

🧠 PULSE POINTS:

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Vice President JD Vance says Putin “doesn’t quite know how to get out of the war,” creating an “impasse” that President Trump hopes to break in a direct call with the Russian leader.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: VP JD Vance, President Donald J. Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

🧾KEY QUOTES:

  • “Are you serious? Are you real about this?” – JD Vance on Trump’s expected question to Putin.

  • “Putin… doesn’t quite know how to get out of the war.”

  • “We’re still more than open to walking away.”

⚠️FALLOUT: Despite prisoner swaps and tentative proposals, Vance admits peace talks have stalled. Zelensky blasted Putin for failing to show up in Turkey.

IN FULL:

Vice President JD Vance told reporters Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin “doesn’t quite know how to get out of the war,” as President Donald J. Trump prepared to confront him in a direct call scheduled for 10 AM. ET.

Vance, speaking aboard Air Force Two, said Trump would ask Putin if he is “serious” about ending the conflict in Ukraine, stressing that America will not “spin its wheels” in a futile negotiation.

“The talks have been proceeding for a little while. We realize that we’re at a bit of an impasse here,” Vance said. “I think the president’s going to say to President Putin, look, are you serious? Are you real about this?”

He described the state of negotiations as uncertain, noting that Putin “has made some concessions” but added, “We feel like we’re at a point where we’re hitting an impasse, and that’s why the president is talking to him on the phone.”

“I’m not sure that Vladimir Putin has a strategy himself for how to unwind the war,” Vance said. “I think, honestly, that President Putin, he doesn’t quite know how to get out of the war… I think the president would agree with that.”

Vance confirmed Trump’s willingness to disengage if the peace process proves unserious: “We’re still more than open to walking away,” he said. “We want to see outcomes.”

He said the U.S. was pleased to see the two warring parties “put a real peace proposal on the table” and begin to engage in face-to-face discussions. While Putin himself did not attend last week’s meeting in Turkey, both Russian and Ukrainian delegations met and reportedly agreed to a large-scale prisoner swap.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has agreed to meet with Putin, accused the Russian leader of cowardice for sending a “low-level” delegation, saying Putin was “afraid.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed Trump’s sense of urgency, telling The National Pulse that the president has grown weary and frustrated with both sides of the conflict.

Vance said Trump is ready for the moment: “I was just on the phone with him. I know he’s looking forward to it… I think he’s the right guy to negotiate for the country.”
