JOE CAN DO IT! LET’S FINISH THE JOB!
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) The Biden administration has an ambitious goal to reduce the country's homelessness by 25% before 2025. In a move to accelerate those efforts, federal officials this week launched a new initiative to swiftly house unsheltered people in some of the nation's hardest-hit cities.
UKRAINE PROPAGANDA
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Japan to attend the G7 summit in person, a stark (and shameless) display of “confidence” (con-Satan-ce) and Western solidarity (COMMUNIST ANTIFA BUZZWORD) as he tries to keep crucial support from allied nations flowing. The war in Ukraine is at the top of the agenda for the three-day summit, where leaders made a strong statement of unity in support of Ukraine and unveiled new measures to choke off Russia's ability to fund and supply its war. This comes as Kyiv's long-anticipated counteroffensive appears imminent as the Ukrainian military says it has made gains along the front lines in recent days. But there's speculation the counteroffensive may have already started.
EARTHQUAKE! / Tsunami
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck the South Pacific today, triggering a tsunami warning for nearby nations including Vanuatu, Fiji and Kiribati. The US Tsunami Warning Center initially issued a tsunami alert for coasts within about 620 miles of the epicenter but lifted the alert three hours after the quake struck the region. The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency also confirmed no tsunami threat was expected for the western US state. The South Pacific is one of the most seismically active areas of the world due to high rates of convergence between the Australia and Pacific tectonic plates that are constantly pushing against each other, according to the USGS.
DINOSAUR’S BACK
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) A week after Sen. Dianne Feinstein returned to the Senate after a roughly three-month absence, questions are swirling about her fitness for office. The 89-year-old Democrat had been recovering from shingles at home in California and had been absent from Capitol Hill since February. Feinstein's office confirmed on Thursday that she experienced broader health complications following her shingles diagnosis, contradicting an earlier denial from the senator herself. Those complications "included Ramsay Hunt syndrome and encephalitis," her spokesperson told CNN. Feinstein's long-awaited return on May 10 not only meant that the Senate Democratic Caucus would be at full attendance — since both Feinstein and Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (6’8” BETA) had been absent for much of the spring — but that the one-seat margin Democrats held on the powerful Judiciary Committee would be reconstituted to help advance President Biden's judicial nominations.

The Smiths bass guitarist died young!
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) Andy Rourke, the former bassist for the English rock band The Smiths, has died after a battle with pancreatic cancer, a former bandmate announced today. He was only 59. RIP
LGBT Disney vs BASED FLORIDA
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) Disney is scrapping plans to build a $1 billion office complex in Florida, citing "changing business conditions," according to a memo provided by a Disney spokesperson. The decision comes at a time when the company is openly feuding with Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to officially enter the 2024 GOP presidential race next week.
The head of the state's Democrat Party slammed the governor's "unhinged personal vendetta against Disney" for costing Florida 2,000 jobs and millions in additional revenue (ALL ABOUT THE MONEY WITH THE DEGENERATES). Analysts say the move raises the question of whether Floridians are paying a big price for DeSantis' political ambitions.
Nadal is retiring soon; another tennis player was robbed
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) QUOTE: “Next year is my last year.” — Tennis champion Rafael Nadal, announcing Thursday that he has withdrawn from the French Open and may conclude his tennis career next year. This is the first time the 22-time grand slam champion will miss the competition since making his debut in 2005. Additionally, Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios — the runner-up at Wimbledon last year — will also miss the French Open, his agent told CNN, after he was injured during a robbery earlier this month.
Debt Limit (BORING!)
(CNN Fri. 5/19/23) House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is sounding optimistic about the direction of debt limit talks, telling CNN he sees how they can get to a deal and that he wants a bill on the floor next week. "We're not there … but I see the path," McCarthy said. After Tuesday's meeting with President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and congressional leaders from both parties, McCarthy and Biden agreed to more direct talks between their two teams. Those talks, McCarthy said, have made a positive difference. The speaker said he's spoken to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer about the timing in the House and Senate to pass a bill to avert default, saying it would take four days in the House and seven in the Senate.
