President Trump on Sunday issued a lengthy Truth Social post attacking former ally Elon Musk after the Tesla mogul announced he was launching a third party over opposition to Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” “I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks,” Trump wrote Sunday afternoon.He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States – The System seems not designed for them,” he added. “The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS,

President Trump is right on this one. Musk is not even as popular as Ross Perot was. He has alienated people in both parties in one way or another. But I do hope he keeps pushing for an efficient running government. Governments are the worst when it comes to handling money, just look at our 37 trillion-dollar debt, they are very wasteful spenders of other people's money.

I'm back on my original train with Elon. He can't be trusted; he runs his mouth too much, too.

He got a taste of political power and doesn't want to let go. This new party will go nowhere. Democrats won't join and right now Republicans are staunchly behind President Trump, even tho multiple news sites say MAGA is turning on him. Not so. Anyway, Elon was good at cutting government spending but he's too erratic to be in charge of anything political.

If the GOP and Trump did 50% of what they promised on the campaign trail, we wouldn't be here right now.

Elon Musk should take a look at when Ross Perot ran for president. He ran as a third party candidate. It mainly split the Republican vote which meant that the Democrat got the most votes. In most states, who ever gets the most popular votes gets all the electoral college votes. Although, Perot got 20% of the popular votes, he didn’t get any electoral college votes. If he had not run, Bush was expected to run. Instead Clinton won.

Elon Musk is a super genius, just not in the Wile E. Coyote mold. He's also impatient which is what is behind this rift between he and President Trump. Elon should really take a step back and realize President Trump is already addressing our massive debt and will be taking further steps to right the ship. That takes time, especially considering the shambles the country was left in by prior administrations. The time needed I speak of are not only President Trump's current term, but his first term too. Remember, there is a lot of things wrong with the U.S. which need fixing. That takes time!

Musk was born in South Africa, and cannot run for president. His place of birth is clear, so he cannot even fake a birth cerificate.

Perhaps this idiot writer, Brandon Conradis, should look up what the word "rages" means. Raging is hardly want Trump was doing. Guess the Hill is full of "sensationalist" writers who want to make people think Trump is something he is not. Pretty pathetic, but then The Hill is getting as bad as the NYT and WP. WP

I think Musk feels betrayed by Trump. He was tasked with finding all of the waste, fraud, and corruption in the government, only to watch a Republican controlled Congress push us further into debt via the BBB, while it was cheered on by Trump.

Meteorologists have argued that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) did their jobs well during the devastating Texas flash floods — and even had “extra” staff on hand for the storm — despite Democrats’ claims that the Trump administration’s cuts to the agencies contributed to the loss of life over the holiday weekend. Even establishment media outlets like the Associated Press (AP) have reported on the weather community’s pushback on that narrative, while the Democratic National Committee (DNC) sent out memos arguing that the Trump administration “refused to backfill key roles … likely contributing to preventable deaths and worsened devastation.”

On June 27, the court delivered an important result for parental rights and religious liberty in Mahmoud v. Taylor. In one of the higher-profile opinions this term, a 6-3 majority sided with a group of religious parents against the attempted imposition of LGBT ideology on public school children. The court held that the Montgomery County, Maryland, school district’s “introduction of the ‘LGBTQ+-inclusive’ storybooks, combined with its decision to withhold notice to parents and to forbid opt outs, substantially interferes with the religious development of petitioners’ children and imposes the kind of burden on religious exercise that Yoder [a 1972 Supreme Court precedent] found unacceptable.”

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers railed against President Trump’s massive tax and spending bill, saying no objective economist would characterize the legislation as a boon to the economy. “There is no economist anywhere, without a strong political agenda, who is saying that this bill is a positive for the economy. And the overwhelming view is that it is probably going to make the economy worse,” Summers told ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos in a Sunday interview on “This Week.”“Think about it this way,” he continued. “How long can the world’s greatest debtor remain the world’s greatest power?

Rescuers scoured a devastated central Texas landscape of mangled trees, overturned cars and muck-filled debris Saturday in an increasingly bleak mission to locate survivors, including 27 girls who have not been seen since their camp was slammed with a wall of water in a historic flash flood. The flooding in Kerr County killed at least 43 people, including 15 children, and at least eight people died in nearby counties. Authorities still have not said how many people were missing beyond the children from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along a river in Kerr County where most of the dead were recovered.

Last week I visited New York City, a place that for generations has represented the magnificence of the American experiment. The economic dynamism of Wall Street, the fine arts of Broadway, and the sports sanctuaries of Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium have all made the city exceptional. My early-morning walks downtown along the Hudson River, with the Statue of Liberty in sight, reminded me why America is a beacon of opportunity for people from every corner of the world — including my grandparents, who came to escape religious persecution in Eastern Europe.

One year from now, you will not be able to turn around without receiving notice of America’s semiquincentennial jubilee. The jollity of the occasion will not change the fact that it will be seven years premature. The historical significance assigned to July 4, 1776, the date the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, is befuddling. Without victory in the Revolutionary War, which began over a year earlier, any declarations regarding American independence made during the summer of 1776 would have the same significance today as the “declarations of independence” made by the 11 Confederate States in 1860-61.

Republicans muscled President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cut bill through the House on Thursday, the final step necessary to get the bill to his desk by the GOP’s self-imposed deadline of July 4th. At nearly 900 pages, the legislation is a sprawling collection of tax breaks, spending cuts and other Republican priorities, including new money for national defense and deportations. Democrats united against the legislation, but were powerless to stop it as long as Republicans stayed united. The Senate passed the bill, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. The House passed an earlier iteration of the bill in May with just one vote to spare.

Zohran Mamdani is the latest sign establishment Democrats don’t know how to handle a populist challenge. They haven’t learned anything from the defeats right-wing populism inflicted on them with President Donald Trump. Now they’re knocked on their backsides by a new generation of left-wing populism in their own party. Making Mamdani mayor of New York is like electing Bernie Sanders president — maybe even worse. But in an era when populism keeps gaining momentum, Democratic insiders habitually turn to political has-beens to rescue the party.

None of us ever would have heard of Jeffrey Epstein had the government not brought him up. It was the government that brought charges against him. The government told us that he was “the most prolific child sex trafficker in history.” The government said he was “with intelligence.” The government cut him a sweetheart deal. The government was taken to court by “John Doe” over what the government called “client lists.” The government courts made a ruling about the “client lists” not being released. Senator Dick Durbin blocked the release of the “client list” in the legislative branch of the government. The government said it had “client lists” on its desk.

The Senate is set to vote on a rescissions package that narrowly passed the House in June and would cancel already appropriated federal funds for public broadcasting and some foreign aid programs. Republicans only need a majority vote for the legislation to pass.

Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review.

It’s no secret that Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the United States Supreme Court because she is a black woman.* In other words, she was not chosen for her judicial acumen, but for her political identity. That goes a long way to explaining the absolutely lunatic dissent she issued to a Supreme Court order. That order stayed a California district court judge’s ruling blocking President Trump from ordering agency heads to produce plans for possible “Reductions in Force.”

Remember this moment in 2019 when Democrats were asked to raise their hands if they supported treating border crossing as a civil issue aka decriminalize the border. Nearly ever hand went up. In retrospect, some Democrats are realizing this may have been a big mistake. Six years later, the party remains haunted by that tableau. It stands both as a vivid demonstration of a leftward policy shift on immigration that many prominent Democratic lawmakers and strategists now say they deeply regret, and as a marker of how sharply the country was moving in the other direction.
