Psaki Claims: ‘No One Supports Abortion Until Birth’ Despite Democrat States Legalizing It.

White House Press Secretary turned MSNBC talking head Jen Psaki blatantly lied on Wednesday, during the Republican debate, claiming: “No one supports abortion up until birth”. The X (formerly Twitter) post came despite multiple Democrat politicians being on the record as supporting “no limits” on terminations, and multiple Democrat states moving to legislate on the same time frame.

Senior politicians including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Senator John Fetterman, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Ben Cardin, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams have all told reporters the decision to kill an unborn baby should be left up to the mother, perhaps with input from a physician, throughout pregnancy.

There is already no “gestational limit” on abortion in the Democrat-run American capital of Washington D.C. and the Democrat-run states of Colorado, New Jersey, Oregon, and Vermont also allow abortion up to birth.

Democrat-run New Mexico, meanwhile, has no abortion limit at the state level but some restrictions in some areas, introduced by “sanctuary cities for the unborn”.

Alaska, which is run by the Republicans, also has no abortion limit, due to the State Supreme Court ruling that restrictions violated the right to privacy in the 1990s.

As White House Press Secretary, Psaki herself said that Biden “supports the right of a woman to make choices about her own body” when asked if the President supports “any limits on abortion.”

Farage’s Reform Pledges Migrant Deportation Centers for Left-Voting Communities.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has unveiled a plan to build immigration detention centers in areas that support open borders policies, while pledging not to build centers in areas with Reform MPs or Reform-led councils.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: On Sunday, Nigel Farage’s Reform pledged to build immigration detention centers in areas that vote for the Green Party, the far-left party led by Zack Polanski, which supports mass immigration and open borders. Reform argues that its proposal ensures migration policy is fair and democratic.
📺 DETAIL: The plan involves constructing facilities capable of simultaneously detaining up to 24,000 migrants, nearly ten times the current capacity of immigration removal centers, within 18 months. This is part of a wider strategy to deport one million migrants over five years. Those identified for deportation will be offered financial assistance to leave voluntarily or will face detention. Reform has pledged not to build these centers in areas represented by Reform Members of Parliament (MPs) or Reform-led councils (local governments). The party argues that building the centers in places that vote for open borders, and not building them in places that vote for controlled immigration, ensures that the program remains democratic and fair. “Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or a Reform MP, we guarantee you will not have a migrant detention center near you. However, if you vote Green, there’s a very good chance that you will. This way, everyone gets what they vote for,” said Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s Home Affairs Spokesman, in a social media post. T
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This is the fairest approach to ensuring democratic consent for all aspects of our mass deportation programme.” – Zia Yusuf, Reform UK Home Affairs Spokesman.
📺 FLASHBACK: Housing asylum seekers costs Britain around £15 million (~$20.3 million) per day. Even when their application are rejected, asylum seekers regularly remain in the country, often for several years. Many are never deported despite having no legal standing to be in the country. Illegal immigrants are often housed at taxpayers’ expense despite having criminal records. Notably, many commit crimes while waiting for their applications to be reviewed.

GameStop Proposes Audacious $55.5 Billion eBay Bid.

GameStop has made an unsolicited $55.5 billion bid for eBay, aiming to expand its operations in the e-commerce space after the company saw skyrocketing stock growth in recent years due to its “meme stock” status.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: GameStop has made an unsolicited $55.5 billion offer to purchase eBay, valuing the e-commerce giant at $125 per share. The proposal includes cash and stock, with a commitment to achieve $2 billion in cost savings within a year if the deal is completed.
📺 DETAIL: GameStop’s CEO Ryan Cohen stated he is willing to take the bid directly to eBay shareholders if the board rejects the offer. Cohen also pledged to forgo traditional executive compensation, opting instead for performance-based pay. The deal would be partially financed by $20 billion in debt from TD Securities, with cost reductions primarily targeting eBay’s sales and marketing operations. GameStop argues that eBay’s spending in this area has failed to generate significant user growth. GameStop, which has been attempting to reinvent itself beyond traditional video game sales, sees the acquisition as a way to expand into a broader online retail and collectibles marketplace. However, analysts have raised concerns about how GameStop would fund such a large deal and whether it could successfully integrate eBay’s operations. The bid is described as unsolicited, meaning eBay has not agreed to the proposal and could reject it.
🎯 IMPACT: If successful, the acquisition could transform GameStop into a more prominent player in the e-commerce space while giving eBay access to GameStop’s U.S. retail network for “live commerce” initiatives. However, analysts have expressed skepticism, noting the potential burden of GameStop’s debt on eBay and questioning the strategic fit of the two companies.
📺 FLASHBACK: GameStop gained notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic as a “meme stock,” with its valuation skyrocketing due to retail investor enthusiasm fueled by platforms like Reddit.

Mayor Giuliani ‘Critical’ in Hospital. Here’s What We Know.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, is hospitalized in critical but stable condition, prompting widespread concern and statements of support.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City and longtime ally of President Donald J. Trump, has been hospitalized and is in critical but stable condition. The announcement was made by both Trump and Giuliani’s spokesman, Ted Goodman, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.” The cause of Giuliani’s hospitalization was undisclosed as of the time of publication.
📺 DETAIL: Giuliani, who served as New York City’s mayor from 1994 to 2001, was widely praised for his leadership during the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, becoming known as “America’s Mayor.” He has remained a prominent figure in American politics, joining President Trump’s legal team and defending him following the 2020 election, and becoming the target of civil and criminal lawfare efforts as a result. His hospitalization follows several recent health challenges, including injuries sustained in a car accident last year.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a true warrior, and the best mayor in the history of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition. What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad! ” – Donald Trump
🎯 IMPACT: Giuliani’s health crisis has prompted messages of support from allies and renewed focus on his legacy as a public servant and Trump supporter.
📺 FLASHBACK: Giuliani was named Time Person of the Year in 2001 for his leadership following 9/11 and was later given an honorary knighthood by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

Push to Recruit Migrants Into Military Ends in Disaster.

A leaked Canadian military report shows ethnic conflict and rampant sexism in a platoon that consisted of 83 percent immigrants.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A leaked Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) report highlights severe issues arising from efforts to recuit immigrants into the military, including ethnic infighting, cultural clashes, and unrealistic expectations among new recruits. Some recruits, particularly permanent residents, struggled with adapting to military expectations, including respecting women as superior officers or peers.
📺 DETAIL: According to the report, one training platoon consisted of 83 percent immigrants, leading to cultural and ethnic clashes, such as tensions between recruits from Cameroon and the Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire). Many recruits failed to complete basic training, with fewer than half graduating. There were serious challenges in integrating recruits with little prior exposure to Western cultural norms, including respect for women and submitting to military discipline.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “For many candidates, it is the first time they have lived with members of a different sex, and for some, it is also the first time they have been expected to treat women as their peers.” – Leaked report.
🎯 IMPACT: The challenges in Canada’s military underscore broader issues with mass migration straining social cohesion and institutional integrity. Notably, over 40 percent of Canada’s population of young people, those most likely to join the armed forces, are immigrants, including a large number of Indian nationals. However, despite the failures recorded in the report, Canada’s armed forces continue to tout the supposed successes of diversity
📈 DATA: In 2025, the CAF recruited 823 permanent residents, a sharp increase from just eight in 2023. Women now make up 30 percent of applicants, with 1,178 enrolling in the last fiscal year, the highest number in a decade.

WATCH: Armed Boat Migrant Caught Trying to Attack Israeli Embassy.

A 34-year-old migrant who entered Britain illegally is on trial for attempting a knife attack at the Israeli Embassy in London, citing “revenge” for Gaza. He was stopped by police just moments before he could launch an attack.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Abdullah Sabah Albadri, a 34-year-old boat migrant, attempted to breach the security perimeter of the Israeli Embassy in London, England, in April 2025, armed with two knives. He was apprehended by armed officers before he could carry out his plan, which he described as an act of revenge for Gaza.
📺 DETAIL: Albadri, who had entered Britain illegally via a small boat from France, was found with a so-called martyrdom note expressing his intent to “die for the glory of God.” In the days leading up to the incident, the Kuwait-born migrant, whose asylum claim had reportedly been rejected shortly before his attempted attack, researched Arabic terms related to suicide and martyrdom. He was seen approaching the embassy before attempting to scale its perimeter fence. Armed police quickly tackled and restrained him, preventing him from entering the diplomatic compound. The incident occurred amid heightened security concerns following a series of anti-Semitic and terror-related incidents in London targeting Jewish sites and institutions. Police confirmed the suspect was arrested at the scene and charged with terrorism-related offenses. The suspect has denied the charges, and court proceedings are ongoing.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Albadri wanted to carry out a terrorist attack at the Embassy, but thanks to the courageous and swift actions of officers on duty, they prevented him from breaching the security perimeter and stopped what could have been a deadly incident.” – Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London.

Trump Signs Stopgap FISA Extension After Senate Blocks Three-Year Renewal.

Congress faces an ongoing fight over national security and privacy concerns as a 45-day FISA extension forces a restart of the legislative process.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump signed a 45-day extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on Thursday night, after the Senate rejected a three-year renewal passed by the House. The Senate’s unanimous consent for the short-term measure followed opposition from Democrats and some Republicans, who objected to the removal of provisions such as a ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
📺 DETAIL: The temporary extension reflects deep divisions within Congress, with some Republicans and Democrats pushing for stronger privacy protections while others emphasize national security concerns. Section 702 allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect communications of foreign targets abroad but can also capture Americans’ data, fueling an ongoing debate over its impact on civil liberties. The stopgap law gives Congress until mid-June to reach a broader agreement on the program’s future.
🎯 IMPACT: With only 45 days before the extension expires, Congress must restart negotiations on FISA renewal imminently, reigniting debates over privacy rights, national security, and government oversight. The failure to include a CBDC ban highlights ongoing divisions between House conservatives and Senate Republicans.

Alabama Moves to Redraw Congressional Map After Key SCOTUS Ruling.

Governor Kay Ivey is reconvening Alabama’s state legislature, which could reshape the congressional landscape pending a pivotal decision from the Supreme Court.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Governor of Alabama Kay Ivey (R) has announced that the state’s congressional map will be redrawn ahead of the midterm elections following a landmark Supreme Court ruling against racially gerrymandered majority-minority electoral districts. Howvever, the special session to redistrict the state is contingent on the U.S. Supreme Court lifting a key injunction.
📺 DETAIL: On Friday, Ivey announced that she is summoning the Alabama legislature to redraw the state’s congressional map. The session to redistrict the state is scheduled for Monday next week. However, the session is dependent on the Supreme Court lifting an injunction tied to the Allen v. Milligan case. That case initially forced Alabama to create additional racially gerrymandered black-majority districts. Steve Marshall (R), Attorney General of Alabama, filed an emergency appeal asking justices to lift the Allen v. Milligan injunction on Thursday evening.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “By calling the Legislature into a special session, I am ensuring that Alabama is prepared should the courts act quickly enough to allow Alabama’s previously drawn congressional and state senate maps to be used during this election cycle.” — Kay Ivey
🎯 IMPACT: If Alabama is successful at getting the Allen v. Milligan injunction lifted, the state would be allowed to eliminate racially gerrymandered majority-minority districts, likely costing the Democrats representation in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November midterms. The Louisiana v. Callais ruling against racial gerrymandering earlier this week suggests that there is a high chance the Supreme Court will lift the injunction.

Former Democrat Mayoral Candidate Confesses to Forging Voter Registrations.

Henrilynn Ibezim, a former Democrat mayoral candidate in New Jersey, admitted to forging voter registration applications during the 2021 Democrat primary.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Henrilynn Ibezim, a former Democrat mayoral candidate in New Jersey, has pleaded guilty to forging nearly 1,000 voter registration applications. The applications were forged during a 2021 primary for the Plainfield mayoral seat.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, Henrilynn Ibezim, a former Democrat mayoral candidate, pleaded guilty to voter registration fraud. Most of the forged applications were filled out by only three or four people. In addition to forging voter registration applications, Ibezim also attempted to coach a witness on how to respond to questions from law enforcement, instructing the witness not to “admit anything.” Ibezim admitted to delivering a bag of forged applications to a post office in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the intention of mailing them to the registration office in Union County. The announcement of Ibezim’s guilty plea came via New Jersey’s Office of the Attorney General.
🎯 IMPACT: As part of a plea agreement, Ibezim pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree forgery. Prior to the plea agreement, Ibezim was also facing eight other counts, including witness tampering and election fraud. This case underscores the threat posed by voter fraud to election integrity. In April, the North Carolina State Board of Elections identified approximately 34,000 dead people still on the state’s voter rolls, indicating that there are other vehicles for substantial election fraud.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is crucial to our system of government that those who engage in illegal and bad-faith conduct during elections be held accountable.” – Attorney General Jennifer Davenport.

Cheap Chinese Cars Are Swamping the U.S. Despite Tariffs, Here’s How:

Chinese-made electric vehicles, supposed to be priced out of the U.S. by tariffs due to security and undercutting concerns, are pouring into the U.S. via a Mexican trade loophole.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Chinese-made cars, supposed to be priced out of the U.S. by 100 percent tariffs, are appearing in increasing numbers on American roads near the southern border. These vehicles are being driven across from Mexico, where Chinese brands like BYD and Geely are legally sold without tariffs.
📺 DETAIL: The loophole arises from drivers crossing the border from Mexico into U.S. cities like El Paso, bringing Chinese vehicles that are significantly cheaper than their American counterparts. For example, the Geely EX2 starts at just over $10,000, compared to the $50,000 average price of new American cars. U.S. laws and regulations, including sweeping restrictions introduced in 2025, were intended to effectively prohibit Chinese vehicles due to national security concerns, particularly around data collection and connected technology. Industry experts warn that if allowed to infiltrate the U.S. market at scale, these lower-cost, tech-heavy vehicles could significantly disrupt domestic automakers and reshape the competitive landscape.
🎯 IMPACT: The presence of Chinese cars on U.S. roads has sparked concerns over national security and economic competition. Critics in Congress warn that Chinese vehicles, equipped with advanced software, could pose hacking and surveillance risks. Lawmakers from both parties are now pushing for stricter measures, including closing cross-border trade loopholes to prevent Chinese automakers from entering the American market through third countries. Notably, the northern border may soon present a similar threat after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney signed a deal with China to allow the import of cheap electric vehicles earlier this year.

Trump Admin Withholds Another $91 Million in Medicaid from Fraud-Ridden Minnesota.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, led by Dr. Mehmet Oz, has withheld millions in additional Medicaid payments to Minnesota, citing systemic vulnerabilities to fraud.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), under the leadership of Dr. Mehmet Ozhas delayed $91 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota due to fraud concerns. This includes $76 million tied to highly vulnerable service categories and $14 million potentially linked to illegal immigrant coverage.
📺 DETAIL: Federal officials said the action follows investigations and searches tied to suspected misuse of funds in programs such as childcare and related services, with a significant portion of the withheld money linked to high-risk spending categories and payments to ineligible recipients. This latest action adds to roughly $243 million already withheld earlier in the year, escalating tensions between federal authorities and Minnesota’s state government. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) criticized the decision as politically motivated. It is estimated that fraud in Minnesota, much of it linked to the Somali community, has cost American taxpayers billions of dollars in recent years.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This is about protecting patients and respecting taxpayers.” – Dr. Mehmet Oz
🎯 IMPACT: The funding freeze adds pressure on Minnesota to address systemic vulnerabilities in its Medicaid program, with state officials now required to provide additional documentation to justify payment requests. The move could also influence broader anti-fraud efforts nationwide, as CMS and other federal agencies continue to scrutinize public program expenditures.
📺 FLASHBACK: Minnesota’s fraud scandals gained renewed national attention in late 2025, prompting President Donald J. Trump to appoint Vice President J.D. Vance to lead a federal anti-fraud task force. The Justice Department also established a National Fraud Enforcement Division.
