May 20, 2026 — Washington Examiner op-ed by Emily Stack (Executive Director, Moms for America Action): 'American families are being treated like a dumping ground for products the Chinese government does not want widely sold to its own people.'

Twenty-Six Chicks, One $10B Startup — and the Egg Scientists Say Isn't Really an Egg.
Colossal Biosciences, the Texas-based de-extinction startup valued at $10.32 billion, hatched 26 healthy chicks from a 3D-printed, silicone-coated artificial eggshell on May 19. Chief Biology Officer Andrew Pask: 'absolutely mind blowing — you really feel you can grow life outside of the womb.' The stepping stone: resurrecting the South Island giant moa, an extinct 12-foot New Zealand bird whose eggs are roughly 80x the volume of a chicken's. Four named scientists at three institutions (Roslin, Sheffield, Tsukuba, plus Lynch via AP) push back same day — this is an artificial eggshell, not an artificial egg; the embryo, nutrients, and waste handling all still come from real chicken biology. Investors: Paris Hilton, Tom Brady, Peter Jackson, Chris Hemsworth. Cumulative raised: ~$615M.

Mamdani Wants to Tax the Industry That Pays Half of NYC's Bills.
REBNY's Invisible Engine 2025 report: NYC real estate generated $37 billion in real-estate-related taxes in CY2024 (a record), projected to exceed $40 billion in FY25 — 49% of locally-collected NYC tax revenue. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's (D-DSA) tax stack: $30/hr by 2030, pied-à-terre $5M+ second homes (Hochul backs), 2% millionaire surtax (Hochul rejected), 1% all-cash transfer tax on home sales $1M+. Comptroller Mark Levine (D): pied-à-terre realistic range $340M-$380M, not the administration's $500M. Honest counter-evidence: $10M+ NYC apartment contracts surged +80% April-May; JLL whitepaper called the exodus narrative a 'myth.'
A 28-Year-Old Killed Her Parents in 2024. The Interrogation Video Just Came Out.
May 13, 2026 — Washington City Police released the interrogation video of Mia Bailey, sentenced Dec 19, 2025 to two consecutive 25-to-life terms for the June 18, 2024 murder of her parents Joseph and Gail Bailey. Plea: 'guilty AND mentally ill.' Court record diagnoses: autism, psychosis, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, possible bipolar. Released from inpatient mental-health care 3 days before the killings. Bailey was 28 — Utah's SB 16 covers minors and did not apply. This page does not claim the ban caused this killing, and does not claim gender-affirming care produces violence. Bailey named the trigger in her own interrogation; her diagnosed mental illness is on the court record. Both facts stand together.

Securus contract: $189M base / $315M maximum with optional extensions. Former CDCR Deputy Director Douglas Eckenrod warned about exactly these risks during the internal debate; warnings 'set aside.' Newsom's 'digital equity' framing.

In Southaven, MS — across the line from South Memphis — xAI is running 46 unpermitted methane gas turbines for Colossus 2 (up from 27 when the NAACP put it on notice in February).
