Plus: a DOJ federal probe into Washington's prison policy, Xi hosts Putin days after Trump, China detains executives to kill a $2 billion Meta deal, and Trump backs Paxton in the Texas Senate runoff — all in today's episode.The Freedom Foundation just opened the books on America's most powerful teachers union, and the numbers are devastating. A report first obtained by the New York Post alleges $1.4 million in AFT resources spent on a single anti-Trump book by union president Randi Weingarten. A lawyer billed at $977,000 for work the union called pro bono. A ghostwriter paid $400,000. Fact-checkers compensated at $11,000 each. The book's publisher pitched it as a manifesto for our time. Teachers wrote the checks. The question now is what the rank-and-file will do about it.It connects to a bigger picture. While union members were funding a manifesto, the DOJ announced a federal investigation into Washington State for housing male inmates in women's prisons, citing alleged Eighth Amendment violations. Xi Jinping welcomed Vladimir Putin to Beijing less than a week after President Trump's own visit, and the joint declaration on a so-called multipolar world ran 47 pages. China detained the leadership of a Singapore-based AI startup in an unprecedented move to kill Meta's $2 billion acquisition. Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over Senator John Cornyn in the May 26 GOP Senate runoff. And California's Interscholastic Federation handed out a shared first-place podium under a policy nobody seems willing to defend in public.There is a famine of truth in our land. The remnant must stand.
