An employee of the Federal Aviation Administration was arrested and charged with making threats to kill President Donald Trump, authorities said.

A federal judge unsealed a purported suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday. The unverified and undated document was placed on the court docket in the case of a former cellmate of the late convicted sex offender, who said he had found the note. The note — which is not signed — reads, in part: “They investigated me for month – found NOTHING!!! “It is a treat to be able to chose ones time to say goodbye.” “NO FUN – NOT WORTH IT!!

A medical examiner ruled that he died by suicide...
#3 Lutnick’s Testimony in Epstein Probe Earns Harsh Criticism From House Democrats - CBS News, Frank James - Tweeterer, MenchOsint/The General, Leftychan.net, John Wells, Nimble/The Bulwark, and ABC11 Eyewitness News on X
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testified before the House Oversight Committee behind closed doors on Wednesday, where he faced questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his evolving statements about their history. Democrats on the committee accused Lutnick of being evasive and misleading the public, calling on him to resign over his changing accounts of his interactions with the late sex offender. "If you saw the exchanges that my colleagues had with him, you would see he made a farce of the English language," said California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who accused Lutnick of "changing his story" as new facts have emerged. But GOP Rep. James Comer, the Oversight Committee's chairman, said Democrats were twisting Lutnick's words and had come into the interview to push a "narrative" to damage President Trump...
#4 Kamala Harris Wants the DNC to Release Its Autopsy Report of the 2024 Campaign - Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki for NBC News, Jonathan Allen, #MedicareForAll #GeneralStrike #DefundCorporations, Michael Drew/Nick Field, Jenell/Broke Phi Broke, and David J Harris Jr/Bob Scheirer,
As former Vice President Kamala Harris considers another run for president, she is also signaling that she has no problem with a public airing of what went wrong last time — telling donors she believes the Democratic National Committee should release its buried autopsy of her failed 2024 campaign, according to a person who has heard the conversations. While she indicated to donors that she had no issue with releasing it, Harris has not discussed the postmortem with DNC Chairman Ken Martin and did not know about his decision to keep it under wraps until it happened, this person said. Like most prospective candidates, Harris is staying involved in political affairs. That includes touring the country, giving speeches to state parties, developing the framework for a policy platform, and sounding out fellow Democrats about her next chapter...#5 Judge Denies Request to Force FBI to Return Seized 2020 Fulton County Ballots - Peter Charalambous and Olivia Rubin for ABC News, Eyewitness News, Kyle Cheney, comanchekg, Bonewitz MAGA Save America, and MoralsMatter on X
A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request from Fulton County officials to force the FBI to return hundreds of boxes of ballots from the 2020 election that were seized earlier this year. "The seizure in this case was certainly not perfect," Judge J. P. Boulee wrote. "However ... petitioners did not establish that their rights were callously disregarded either through the lack of probable cause, omissions in the Affidavit, or by the manner of the execution of the seizure." The FBI seized more than 600 boxes of Fulton County's election records in January as part of an investigation driven by allies of President Donald Trump who sought to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election...

#7 Dem House Hopeful Attacks Iowans After Backlash to Muslim Prayer Controversy in State Senate - Dmitri Bolt for Townhall, The USA Startup, Iowa GOP, Rusty McLouth,
ModSquad anti-communist/RNC Research, and stan stuart on X
An unearthed clip of Sarah Trone Garriott, a member of the Iowa State Senate and current Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, has been circulating on social media in which she defends her decision to begin a day in the legislature with a Muslim prayer. She not only described the act as one of inclusivity, but also accused Iowans who sent her hateful messages of harboring “horrible animosity towards our Muslim neighbors.” The most striking part: she is an ordained Lutheran minister and pastor. "So the Senate begins every day with prayer, and the majority of members in the Senate are Christian, and they almost always share Christian prayers," Garriott said. "Right now, because of COVID, we can't invite religious leaders to come pray on our behalf, so we're praying our own prayers, and for me, it's really important to make sure that the diverse religious communities here in Des Moines get to have their voice heard. And so I've made a commitment to only be praying prayers from those other communities."#8 California Governor Candidates Tangle Over Immigration, Homelessness in Tense Debate - Adam Edelman for NBC News, WDBO, Jo Reitkopp, Joel Pollak, The Red, the White, and the Who?, and GovernedByCriminals on X
The seven top candidates in California’s race for governor sparred at a tense debate Wednesday, throwing criticisms at one another over a litany of issues, like affordability, sanctuary policies, and experience, along with a healthy dose of personal insults. The crowded race still lacks a clear frontrunner. And with less than a month before the June 2 all-party primary (and with ballots for early voting already sent), Wednesday’s debate, the second in as many nights, featured no shortage of punches thrown among candidates onstage vying for attention and support. Participants included Democrats Xavier Becerra, Tom Steyer, and Katie Porter, and Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco. Recent polling has shown a tight race with all the top candidates lumped together within the surveys’ margins of error...#9 FBI Reportedly Investigates Journalist Who Wrote About Kash Patel’s Heavy Drinking - Amna Nawaz and Doug Adams for PBS NEWS, Viral Reel Addict, IT’S TIME FOR JUSTICE, Nancy Willing, Zoe Smith, and Kyle Seraphin on X
The FBI has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into whether information was leaked to a reporter for The Atlantic, who wrote that FBI Director Kash Patel’s quote “excessive drinking” was causing deep concern in the bureau. Carol Leonnig, a senior investigative reporter for MS NOW, joins Amna Nawaz to discuss. Patel was asked about the report last month. I have never been intoxicated on the job. And that is why we filed a $250 million dollar defamation lawsuit. And anyone of you that wants to participate, bring it on. I will see you in court...#10 Disney Cruise Ship Staffers Among 28 Arrested in Massive Child Porn Operation - Ross O'Keefe and Brad Appleton for New York Post, Juanita Broaderrick, Visegrád 24, AshleY, Remarks/Autism Capital, and Hodlr on X
Families hoping to make memories on a cruise were unknowingly surrounded by alleged child predators working aboard the ships, according to law enforcement officials. US Customs and Border Protection boarded five cruise ships, including a Disney cruise docked in San Diego, between April 23 and 25 as part of ongoing child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) enforcement operations, a CBP spokesperson told The California Post. “After boarding the vessels and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” the CBP spokesperson said. “CBP canceled their visas, and these criminals are being removed from our country,” the spokesperson continued...
