🇺🇸❗🇨🇳 Eileen Wang, the Democrat Mayor of Arcadia, CA, has pleaded GUILTY to acting as a foreign agent on behalf of China.
The personal relationship between Eileen Wang, elected two years ago to the council of the San Gabriel Valley suburb, and Yaoning “Mike” Sun deepens questions around what Wang knew about an alleged plot to push pro-China policies, particularly regarding Taiwan.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡ Trump's cadillac spotted in Beijing ahead of his visit to China.
Trump heads to Beijing May 13-15 for his first China state visit in years. Expectations are modest; no big structural deals, but symbolic wins like increased Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans, energy, Boeing jets, and rare earth commitments.
A new “Board of Trade” mechanism aims to enforce follow-through this time. Trump also wants Xi’s help pressuring Iran to end the Hormuz blockade and conflict.
China seeks trade truce stability and tech access. Analysts call it risk management over reset—photo-ops and small agreements likely, with deeper tensions on Taiwan and tech left simmering.
Pragmatic deal-making in a tense world

🇺🇸⚡ Trump, Air Force One, lands in Anchorage on way to China summit
Air Force One touched down in Anchorage Tuesday evening, bringing President Donald Trump to Alaska for a brief refueling stop at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport before he continues on to China for a summit with President Xi Jinping
No public events are scheduled during the stop, and it is unclear how long the president will remain on the ground.
Alaska has long served as a strategic midpoint for presidential travel between the continental U.S. and Asia.

🇺🇸⚡ Federal Task Force Led by JD Vance Suspends Hundreds of Hospices in Los Angeles Amid Alleged Medicare Fraud
A federal anti-fraud initiative under the Trump administration has suspended operations at 447 hospices and 23 home health agencies in the Los Angeles area, citing more than $600 million in suspected Medicare fraud, officials said.
The action, spearheaded by Vice President JD Vance’s multi-agency task force, targets what authorities describe as a surge in questionable billing practices in a region that has seen an outsized proliferation of hospice providers. Los Angeles County once accounted for a disproportionate share of U.S. hospices relative to its population, with audits flagging issues such as shared addresses, enrollment of non-terminal patients, and inflated claims.
Some conservative outlets and administration allies have described the crackdown as impacting closer to 450–800 facilities with potential taxpayer savings approaching $1.4 billion when including broader nationwide withholding of payments from suspect providers.
The suspensions come as part of a wider push by the Trump administration to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in federal health programs. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and other officials have highlighted cases involving sham operations and kickback schemes that allegedly exploited end-of-life care funding.
California state officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, have pushed back, noting their own ongoing efforts — including a moratorium on new licenses, revocation of more than 280 hospice licenses in recent years, and criminal charges in a separate $267 million Medi-Cal fraud ring.
Critics of the federal moves have raised concerns that aggressive enforcement could disrupt legitimate care for dying patients, while supporters argue it protects taxpayers and preserves resources for those truly in need.
The Vance task force, launched earlier this year, continues to examine providers across multiple states as part of a broader effort to root out improper spending in Medicare and Medicaid.
No criminal charges have been detailed in connection with the full set of 447 suspensions, which officials describe as payment suspensions pending further review.
