It’s FRIDAY, June 7th!

I am back from a short summer hiatus and vacation in southern Spain. If you follow me on Instagram, you got a peek into the vacation. Vacations are great, but I always struggle to get back into the swing of things and settle back into my routine.

But I am back, and so is the Friday newsletter, which gives you a rundown of the week's top stories.

🌟 Feature Story: Biden's Executive Order on the Illegal Migrant Crisis Does *checks notes* Nothing 🌟

Biden's executive order, setting a 2,500 migrant cap per week at the southern border, has sparked bipartisan criticism. Critics argue it’s a political stunt rather than a genuine solution, with Republicans blaming Biden for the crisis and nonprofits highlighting risks to asylum seekers' due process. If daily encounters stay just below the threshold, the border would see over 912,000 encounters annually, far fewer than the 2.6 million projected for FY 2024. The order's temporary measures and reliance on fluctuating numbers raise doubts about its long-term efficacy, making it seem more about optics than addressing the root issues.

In a move stirring fresh controversy, President Joe Biden’s visit to his late son's widow, Hallie Biden, has raised eyebrows just before her testimony in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial. The White House maintains it was a purely personal visit on Beau's death anniversary, denying any connection to the legal proceedings. Critics, however, see it as another instance of Biden blending personal grief with political maneuvering.
