Elon Musk Calls Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful’
Spending Bill a ‘Disgusting Abomination’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/3/2025 2:35:42 PM
Elon Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, on Tuesday dismissed President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.” “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” he said in a post on X. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he added. Musk’s comments on Tuesday represent an even harsher reaction to the bill than his previous criticisms. He had previously said he was “disappointed”

Elon Musk’s tirade against President Donald Trump’s "big, beautiful bill" has forced House Republicans to scramble to respond on Wednesday.
GOP lawmakers who had spent months praising Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts are now working to avoid a war of words with the tech billionaire as he calls on them to scrap months of work in favor of a new budget reconciliation bill.
"He didn’t make it any easier for the bill," Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital.
He noted that the bill also had its opponents in the Senate, where at least three fiscal hawks are calling for deeper cuts
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday resurrected a hallmark policy of his first term, announcing that citizens of 12 countries would be banned from visiting the United States and those from seven others would face restrictions.
The ban takes effect Monday at 12:01 a.m., a cushion that avoids the chaos that unfolded at airports nationwide when a similar measure took effect with virtually no notice in 2017. Trump, who signaled plans for a new ban upon taking office in January, appears to be on firmer ground this time after the Supreme Court sided with him.
President Donald Trump signed a proclamation to suspend international visas for new students at Harvard University, the White House announced Wednesday, in a dramatic escalation of its efforts to block foreigners from enrolling at the elite university.
The proclamation blocks the entry of nearly all new Harvard student as nonimmigrants into the United States under visas most international students use to study at universities or participate in academic exchange programs in the country.
It also directs the Secretary of State “to consider revoking” those visas – known as F, M and J visas – for current Harvard students who meet the proclamation’s “criteria,” the White House said in a statement on Wednesday.
Columbia University failed to meet accreditation standards due to its inability to uphold civil rights law and punish harassment against Jewish students, the Department of Education announced Wednesday.
Office of Civil Rights (OCR) officials have notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the body that sets Columbia’s accreditation standards, that the university is “in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet standards.” Administrators’ unwillingness to address months of anti-Israel activism on Columbia’s campus created an unsafe environment for Jewish students, the department added, putting the university in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Republican megabill to codify President Donald Trump’s domestic policy agenda would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, according to an analysis from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
The CBO estimates the “Big, Beautiful Bill” would lower tax revenues by $3.7 trillion and cut spending $1.3 trillion, creating $2.4 trillion in new debt. The non-partisan analysis factors in last minute changes to the House Republican version of the bill, including stricter Medicaid work requirements and a higher State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT), a top demand for New York lawmakers.
President Trump’s return to the White House is already paying off for public safety. Big time. According to new crime data, the U.S. murder rate has dropped more than 20% so far this year, a dramatic reversal from the lawless chaos that flourished under Biden’s soft-on-crime regime.
“Since President Trump took office, murder rates have plummeted across the entire United States,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Daily Signal. “American families were promised their communities would be safer, and President Trump swiftly delivered by vocally being tough on crime, unequivocally backing law enforcement, and standing firm on violent criminals being held to the fullest extent of the law.”
The left has once again whipped up the craziness. We've seen them do this in the past, from Occupy to BLM. Now we're seeing actions over Israel, Tesla, and ICE as their protest objects.
Take the wild chaos on Tuesday when a group of federal agents gathered in South Minneapolis near Las Cuatro Milpas restaurant. People thought it was an ICE raid, so a large crowd gathered to try to stop the agents and block their movement. Local law enforcement was called in for crowd control. However, it had nothing to do with immigration enforcement, as Mayor Jacob Frey later stated.
She moved to the United States with a dream of studying medicine to transform lives. Then her father was charged with attempting to take them in connection with a fiery assault on pro-Jewish protesters in Boulder, Colorado.
Now Habiba Soliman, daughter of Boulder attack suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, faces deportation along with the rest of her family.
The family, originally from Egypt, moved to the U.S. from Kuwait. Habiba Soliman recently graduated from high school, but her aspirations were upended when her 45-year-old father was charged with a federal hate crime and 16 counts of attempted murder related to the attack
With immigration laws once again being enforced, ICE agents have become prime targets of the left—harassed, doxed, and threatened simply for upholding the law. At a recent press conference, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons laid bare the growing danger his agents face—not from violent criminals, but from radical activists hell-bent on exposing and intimidating them into silence.
The tense exchange began when reporters questioned why some agents had been wearing masks during recent operations.
Lyons didn’t mince words.
“A lot of agencies were invited to come out two weeks ago in Los Angeles, where we ran an operation where ICE officers were doxed,”
Consequences. How do they work again? Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave everyone a preview late yesterday: That was not a bluff or an academic statement.

Financial services company Citi is walking back its political de-banking policy and its requirement for retail clients to restrict gun sales, making it the latest large corporation to distance itself from progressive corporate governance.
Citi announced the changes Tuesday after examining its corporate policies in light of shifts to the regulatory climate and President Trump’s executive orders.
“We will update our employee Code of Conduct and our customer-facing Global Financial Access Policy to clearly state that we do not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation
If you spend any amount of time on X, it's impossible to miss the pattern.
Democrats are angry. Depressed. They scream at the camera. They fantasize about violence against "oppressors." They film themselves weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth. Just as you can be reasonably certain that anybody who flies an American flag is a Republican, you can be equally confident that everybody who wears a mask in 2025 (or back in 2024, 2023, or 2022) is a strong Democrat. Democrats scream about "feeling unsafe" when people disagree with them. They get deeply upset, even frantic, when their core beliefs are even mildly challenged.

President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are to blame for Sunday’s Boulder, Colorado terror attack, according to leftist pundit Keith Olbermann, who claimed the administration’s immigration crackdown is “merely to satiate the sadism of Trump and Miller and the psychopaths who support them,” calling it a performance and “a preliminary to ethnic cleansing in this country.”
On Tuesday, former sports analyst and left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann unleashed a fiery tirade against President Trump in a promo for the new episode of his Countdown podcast, claiming Trump and his allies are directly responsible for the recent terror attack in Boulder.

The federal government cannot invalidate immigration documents that allow roughly 5,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States to remain in the country until October 2026, a federal court in California ruled on May 30.
In February, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Venezuela’s 2023 designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a temporary immigration status granted when foreign nationals cannot return to their home countries because of safety concerns, such as ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or epidemics.
A TPS designation protects individuals from deportation and allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened Wednesday to pull federal grants for California’s High-Speed Rail Authority after it spent nearly $7 billion in taxpayer funds over a decade and a half without laying a single foot of track.
In a more than 300-page report, Duffy detailed the missed deadlines and stretched budget for the long-running project — and gave the Golden State’s high-speed rail office 37 days to respond or lose out on around $4 billion in grants.
“This report exposes a cold, hard truth: CHSRA has no viable path to complete this project on time or on budget,” he said.
Former Biden White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed Wednesday she was registering as an independent and announced a forthcoming book about her time in the tumultuous administration.
Jean-Pierre, a longtime Democratic Party operative, is urging Americans to step outside harsh party lines in her new book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines," according to the book's description. The description also says the former Biden press secretary didn't come to the decision about leaving the party lightly.
"Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States," she said in a statement, according to the AP.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the U.S. Navy to rename a ship honoring a San Francisco gay rights icon to something less ridiculous. A memo from Hegseth to Navy Secretary John Phelan directed that the Military Sealift Command underway replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk have its current name stricken. The memo indicates this will be the first of a wholesale renaming of the "John Lewis" class of logistics ships to ensure "alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture." According to ABC, "A defense official said the timing of the decision was intentional."

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party and writing that its betrayal led to former President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election, according to a statement from Legacy Lit, who is publishing her upcoming book.
Jean-Pierre announced her new book “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” set to publish in October 2025 on Wednesday. The book, according to her publisher Legacy Lit, encourages Americans to “vote their values and maintain individuality within party lines.”

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from deporting the family of Mohamad Soliman, the individual suspected of firebombing a gathering of Israel supporters in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday.
Judge Gordon P. Gallagher’s ruling stated that the administration cannot remove Soliman’s wife and five children from the District of Colorado or the United States pending a ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. “[T]he Court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” the judge wrote.

Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency.
Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director.
Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months.
Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign.
Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The World Shuns Renewable Energy

The net-zero zealots want to force a worldwide renewable energy transition. But they don’t always get their way. Their fanciful projects have been blocked more than 1,000 times globally. In a world seemingly gone mad, this is welcome news.
“The total number of alt-energy rejections or restrictions now exceeds 1,000 — it’s 1,011 to be exact,” says energy author Robert Bryce, who operates a database that shows 814 U.S rejections of solar, wind and battery projects. Add those to others across the world and the total exceeds a grand.
“The rejections keep coming,” says Bryce. “Since the beginning of May,
