As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk argued on social media on Thursday, the world’s richest man threatened to decommission a space capsule used to take astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station. A few hours later, Musk said he wouldn’t follow through on the threat. After Trump threatened to cut government contracts given to Musk’s SpaceX rocket company and his Starlink internet satellite services, Musk responded via X that SpaceX “will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”

President Donald Trump confirmed Friday aboard Air Force One that he spoke with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) about removing Medicaid cuts in the House-passed bill that could hurt Trump supporters who go to rural hospitals.
Traveling aboard Air Force One for the first time in the second Trump administration, Breitbart News asked the president for his thoughts on removing the cuts as Hawley has suggested.
“We did speak about that. We’re really talking about waste fraud and abuse,” Trump said in the sky-set press gaggle.

The decision, Barrack said, is part of a shift in the United States’ policies on Syria “because none of them worked” over the past 100 years.
Barrack spoke on Monday with the Turkish news channel NTN on several topics such as the Ukraine-Russia war, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and Turkey-U.S. relations. Asked what kind of policy the United States seeks to implement on Syria, Barrack assured the interviewer, “Our current Syria policy will not be close to our Syria policy of the last 100 years, because none of them worked.”
The envoy announced the reduction of U.S. military bases in the Middle Eastern country.
President Donald Trump, speaking from the Oval Office Wednesday night, announced sweeping new travel restrictions in the wake of the recent terror attack in Boulder. Calling the attack a grim reminder of the dangers of unchecked immigration and lax visa policies, Trump outlined an executive order that reinstates and expands his signature travel ban from his first term. “The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” Trump said. “As well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don’t want them.”
Comedian Dave Chappelle offered an inside look at the Saturday Night Live (SNL) writers' room after it was revealed that Donald Trump had defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
A funeral would have been more lively.
Chappelle, speaking with fellow comic Mo Amer on Variety magazine's "Actors on Actors" series, recalled hosting the show on the first Saturday after that historic election. However, he also drew on the reactions of the writers and cast as they prepared during the week.
"Man, when they called Donald Trump the winner - that s*** shut the writers' room down," he said, promoting hearty laughter from Amer.
"You should have seen them in there -
A Russian rocket attack targeted the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Tuesday, killing at least four people and wounding 25, officials said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the assault, saying it underscored that Moscow has no intentions of halting the 3-year-old war.
The attack came a day after direct peace talks in Istanbul made no progress on ending the fighting. Local authorities said the barrage of rockets struck apartment buildings and a medical facility in the center of Sumy.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s secret services said they struck inside Russia again, two days after a spectacular Ukrainian drone attack on air bases deep inside the country.

A surprise Ukrainian drone attack that targeted several Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers was unprecedented in its scope and sophistication and for the first time reached as far as Siberia in a heavy blow to the Russian military.
Ukraine said over 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, were damaged or destroyed Sunday, although Moscow said only several planes were struck. The conflicting claims couldn’t be independently verified and video of the assault posted on social media showed only a couple of bombers hit.
But the bold attack demonstrated Ukraine’s capability to hit high-value targets anywhere in Russia,
This article was co-authored by Greg Blackie. He is the deputy director of policy for the Arizona Free Enterprise Club.
In November 2022, Arizona voters narrowly approved Prop. 308, making Arizona the 24th state in the nation to offer taxpayer-subsidized, in-state tuition rates to illegals. Its narrow passage on the ballot was preceded by its razor-thin passage at the state legislature. It slipped out because two former Republican legislators, who had since lost their seats to primary challengers, rolled their caucus and voted in lock step with Democrats to force it for a vote.
Democrats' Party pearl-clutchers, perverts, and activists pretended to be upset last week over the idea that we’re all going to die. The fact is, we will all die someday, though their bad ideas will live on – 100,000,000 people were killed in the pursuit of the progressive political philosophy over the last century. There isn’t a single leftist alive who is bothered by that fact who can attest to that fact. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst told a group of liberals whining over the prospect of able-bodied adults without young children having to work to receive medical welfare that “Well, we’re all going to die.”
Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement with Iran on ending its nuclear program just got a lot more complicated.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "comprehensive" report on Iran's nuclear program requested by the agency's 35-member board. The report confirmed that Iran had been carrying out clandestine nuclear activity at three sites long suspected of conducting weapons research. It also concluded that Iran had vastly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), spinning up 50% more as of May 17 than they had previously reported. That translates into the capability to construct up to nine nuclear bombs.
Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.
The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video.
“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,”
The late Irving Kristol defined a neoconservative “as a liberal who got mugged by reality.”
It turns out the process was not limited to people of an earlier era, as the ongoing saga of Jake Tapper illustrates.
The CNN anchor has been a reliable cheerleader for all things Democrat and a snide anti-Trumper, but dramatically broke ranks by daring to co-author a book about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House cabal that tried to conceal it from the public.
For his trouble, Tapper is being mocked by former allies and labeled a traitor,

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) threatened Friday that his state would stop tax payments to the federal government, after news reports suggested President Donald Trump was thinking of cutting funds to the state. As Breitbart News noted earlier in the day, reports emerged suggesting that the Trump White House was considering cutting federal funding to California due to its challenges to, and defiance of, federal policy.
Breitbart News reported:
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering ways to pull more federal funding from the State of California, as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) continues to defy White House policies, despite needing money.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers this week advanced several efforts aimed at reining in utility profits and slashing electricity bills as part of their agenda to tackle the sky-high costs of living. The proposals would make sweeping changes to how utilities fund expensive infrastructure projects like putting power lines underground to guard against wildfires. They also would add more oversight around wildfire mitigation spending and put new requirements on utility requests to increase rates. Supporters said the goal is to make the big investor-owned utilities start sharing some of the costs to fight wildfires and build new transmission infrastructure. “This
The questionable sincerity of CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s devout Catholicism was on display for the second straight night as The Late Show host welcomed actress Cynthia Erivo to hype her upcoming role as Jesus, telling her that her casting as the “first woman to play Jesus in a major production, long overdue.”
Colbert began, “One of my favorite musicals of all time is Jesus Christ Superstar. I love that—and I'm so excited that in August you're going to be playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. At the Hollywood Bowl. Apparently, the Hollywood Bowl saw all the criticism Netflix got for rumors it is considering casting Meryl Streep as Aslan, C.S. Lewis’s
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man whose erroneous deportation to El Salvador became a protracted battle over due process and a test of wills, has been returned to the United States to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday in a news conference that he had landed in the U.S. “to face justice.”
Abrego Garcia has been named in an indictment charging him with transporting within the U.S. people not legally in the country. The two-count indictment, sealed by a Tennessee court last month, alleges that Abrego Garcia participated in a conspiracy over nine years to move people from Texas deeper into the country.
What they're saying: One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she "was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with. ... She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers."
"She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved," the official said.
A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire: "The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power —
In a major breakthrough that could finally bring long-awaited answers to the American people, federal investigators have recovered Dr. Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era phones and electronic devices, which could include data crucial in determining whether the former architect of the federal pandemic response lied to the public and to Congress.
FBI Director Kash Patel, working alongside congressional investigators on the origins of COVID-19, revealed the bombshell during his appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“I mean, we just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel announced. “Senator Rand Paul, Senator Kennedy—
Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles called out former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) swimmer Riley Gaines for her vocal opposition to allowing males who identify as females to compete in women’s sports.
Gaines shared a comment regarding Champlin Park’s Class AAAA Softball State Champion for 2025, with a clear implication that the star player was male.(Snip)Biles responded and said that this perspective fosters division and harms the transgender community, with some calling it a form of “bullying” instead of supporting inclusivity.
Maybe Trump And Musk Are Playing 5D Chess?

Whenever President Donald Trump does something that confounds his biggest supporters, the common response is: “Well, Trump is playing 4D chess.”
Some posited that this is what was going on after Trump’s initial response to Elon Musk’s bashing of the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” [snip]
This isn’t 4D chess – not that we have any idea what 4D chess means.
But maybe it’s 5D chess – the kind of chess that can warp reality in such a way as to make liberals’ heads explode.
Hear us out. The left hates Trump and Musk about equally. When they were working together, the hatred toward them was turbocharged.
But what happens when Trump starts bashing Musk

China doesn't have the best track record when it comes to batteries for things like electric cars and scooters. In fact, some of these Chinese lithium batteries have an unpleasant tendency to become explodey. Granted, this is a problem with batteries like this in general, but China's quality control standards in general are, shall we say, not the greatest. From steel to batteries, China just doesn't quite measure up.
Case in point: Now a ship carrying 3,000 cars from China to Mexico, 800 of them electric vehicles, is off the coast of Alaska, abandoned, burning, and spewing toxic smoke. How "green" is that?
The Elon-Trump Bromance Crashes and Burns

Elon Musk is First Buddy no longer.
The epic bromance between Musk and President Donald Trump, between the richest man on the planet and the most powerful one, has come to an end, not with a bang but with a tweet: Just days after Trump granted Musk a golden key in an Oval Office send-off from his role as head of DOGE and adviser to the White House, Musk unleashed on the president’s Big Beautiful Bill: “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” he wrote on his social media platform, X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Everybody has been laughing at CNN's skydive without a parachute, and we all had a chuckle when the ratings came out that showed that CNN's viewership is now about 1/6th that of Fox News.
After all, who would have predicted that the publicity push for Jake Tapper's "Original Sin" (apologies to Alex Thompson, who co-wrote the book and is an actual journalist, but nobody cares about non-celebrities anymore) wouldn't give CNN a bump or two in the ratings? I expected it would have, since any publicity is good publicity if you are looking for ratings.
So it's funny that the more people see Jake Tapper, the less interested they are
