The release of migrant children to their families has been slowed by Trump's rules.
The 17-year-old girl in a pink pullover rested her head in her hands while weighing her options in the empty room of a shelter in New York. A judge refuses to toss states' lawsuit against Musk, and Musk criticizes Trump's big beautiful bill. Migrant children are being separated from their relatives for long periods after crossing into the U.S. because of the administration's aggressive efforts to curtail migration. According to new data from the Health and Human Services Department's Office of Refugee Resettlement, migrant children have stayed in shelters an average of 217 days before being released to family members. Migrant children spend an average of 35 days in shelters before being released to their families. Lawyers for the National Center for Youth Law argued in court documents that the policy changes resulted in children being separated from their loving families while the government denied their release. The new rules will ensure that the children are put in safe homes and prevent traffickers from bringing children into the country, according to the Trump administration. The family situation for the 17-year-old, and her 14-year-old brother who came with her from the Dominican Republic, is complicated....

Will the Pope confront Putin next?
The elections in Venezuela stripped of any legitimacy were staged earlier this week. Key candidates were barred and fair competition was rendered impossible when the leading opposition coalition boycotted the vote. A total of 258 seats and 23 of 24 governorships were seized by the party. It was not an election for most of the people in Venezuela. The election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV was announced over two weeks ago. The Kyiv Independent reported on a previously published interview with the Semanario Expresin in which the then-cardinal denounced Russia's war on Ukraine as a true invasion, imperialist in nature. Pope Leo XIV was a member of the Order of Saint Augustine and spent decades in pastoral and missionary work in the impoverished Chiclayo region. Early attention has been given to his Augustinian roots and the name he chose....

There is nothing else quite like 'Elden Ring Nightreign'.
We had beaten some tough bosses and had the perfect pieces of equipment. A plague of locusts attacked after a dark veil descended on the world. Unbeknownst to us, the Locusts had a deadly secret and could steal the levels you had gained. It was a brutal ambush that made us quit the match. Elden Ring Nightreign is the most punishing experience I have ever played, but I don't mean that in a good way. Nightreign feels very experimental, and it's interesting that the focus of the game is on a cooperative experience. While there are some similarities between Battle Royale games and this one, it quickly proves itself to be unique. Nightreign is the only one like it out there, and when its elements all come together, it's the same high you get from the best Souls moments....

The NYDIG analysis suggests that the market is far from overheated.
The morning hours in the U.S. saw a slight acceleration of the recent big move higher in the price of bitcoin. There were declines in the 3%-5% range for alt coins. Riot Platforms, MARA, and Hut 8 were all lower by 10% or more. The company that made the largest loss was GameStop, down 11% after announcing the purchase of just over 4,710 bitcoin, or about $500 million at the current price. Did you cycle over? There are more than a few market participants suggesting that there is froth in the market after the 50% rally from the April bottom to a new record high of $112,000 last week. The research team at NYDIG said that it wasn't so fast. The 7X rally from the low in the $15,000 area is a nice move for sure, but far behind peak-to-trough moves of 452X in 2013, 112X in 2017 and 20X in 2021....

Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

Democrats want to spend $20 million on a study to reveal the truth about Donald Trump. Liberal strategists are trying to raise millions of dollars to build an army of left-leaningInfluencers and create a "liberal Joe Rogan" to counter Trump's online cultural dominance. The SAM initiative allocates $20 million to study the language and content that appeals to young men. Which would show pro Trump America First messaging and everything Democrats hate. This approach is flawed, as authenticity, like that of Joe Rogan, cannot be manufactured through funding, and the party's disconnect stems from deeper issues like dismissing masculine interests and attacking male voters.

President Trump's legal team is threatening to file a new defamation lawsuit against CBS News and its parent company, Paramount, for a 60 Minutes segment that compared Trump to a "mob boss" and accused him of criminal bribes. The May 4 segment covered Trump's deals with elite U.S. law firms accused of operating "unlawful" diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The lawyers who compared Trump to a mob boss said he should be convicted of bribe taking. As Paramount engaged in active discussions to settle Trump's suit targeting a separate 60 Minutes segment, it came. The segment was an attempt from CBS to influence the settlement negotiations, which could prompt an additional suit. "During ongoing settlement talks, CBS News and Paramount aired a new, defamatory 60 Minutes segment regarding President Trump's legitimate and necessary executive orders addressing unlawful activity in the legal profession, including election interference and employment discrimination," Ed Paltzik said in a statement. "CBS and Paramount's attempts to subvert the legal process may necessitate additional corrective legal action, which President Trump reserves the right to pursue." There is a post called XPOST....

Newly confirmed flight data shows that the Yemen Airlines plane bombed by Israel this morning was going to fly pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for Hajj. The A320-233 arrived from Amman and was going to be used in a series of flights for pilgrims from Yemen over the next nine days. The strike, which hit both the runway and the last operational aircraft in Yemen's capital, now appears to have disrupted Hajj travel for dozens of civilians. Airport director Khaled al-Shaif said it was a deliberate targeting of a humanitarian corridor.
