Pilots To The Rescue flies animals from SC to new beginnings up north
SUMMARY: Pilots To The Rescue transports animals from overcrowded South Carolina shelters to rescues in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, offering nearly 30 pets a fresh start. South Carolina shelters struggle with space and resources, unlike northern shelters that have better support systems, including spay/neuter programs and licensing requirements. Nationally, about 920,000 homeless pets are euthanized annually due to overcrowding. Founded in 2015 by a Brooklyn pilot, the organization has rescued over 4,000 animals in 10 years by flying them to regions with higher adoption chances. The effort involves community support, with volunteers and donors assisting in animal transport and care.
In a bid to alleviate overcrowding in local animal shelters, a rescue operation is transporting nearly 30 animals from the North Myrtle Beach Airport to new homes in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The initiative involves animals from the Horry County Animal Care Center, Williamsburg Animal Care and Control and Saint Frances Animal Center.
“In our area here in South Carolina, what we are doing is not working,” said Suzanne Roman of the South Carolina Rescue Collaboration. “All of our shelters are bursting at the seams with animals. They have few options for them, and recently we decided to team up and get together to try to share resources and opportunities so that there’s some relief for our local shelters.”

Federal vs. state power at issue in a hearing over Trump’s election overhaul executive order
SUMMARY: On May 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aiming to overhaul U.S. election rules, including requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, prohibiting late-counted mail ballots, and setting stricter voting equipment standards. Nineteen Democratic state attorneys general filed a federal lawsuit, arguing the order violates states’ rights under the Constitution’s Elections Clause by overstepping executive authority. A bipartisan group of former secretaries of state supported this, warning of executive overreach. Legal challenges also halted the proof-of-citizenship rule, citing concerns over voter disenfranchisement. The DOJ defends the order as within presidential authority to enforce voting laws.

Diddy trial: Defense challenges witness over timeline of alleged incidents, questions credibility
SUMMARY: Shawn Diddy Combmes’s federal sex trafficking trial saw courtroom drama as the judge warned him twice for interacting with the jury through facial expressions and nodding, threatening removal if it continued. During testimony, a friend of Cassie Ventura stated Combmes once dangled her over a balcony. The defense challenged the timeline, claiming Combmes was on the East Coast during the incident. Another accuser, “Jane,” testified about a controlling, drug-filled relationship from 2021-2024, describing feeling trapped and financially supported by Combmes, which the prosecution argues is a tactic to lure victims. Jane’s testimony is set to continue Friday.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial kicked off with some drama Thursday. Judge Subramanian issued a warning to the defense team, saying that if Combs continued to try and interact with the jury, he might exclude him from being in the courtroom. Judge Subramanian said he saw Combs on two different occasions during testimony, looking at the jury and nodding vigorously. He told the defense that if it happens again, he could remove Combs.
