Musk’s former friend warns ex-DOGE head will do ‘everything’ to damage Trump
Philip Low, a former friend of Elon Musk, claimed in an interview on Monday that Musk would do everything he could to damage President Donald Trump, Politico reported.
“I’ve had my share of blowouts with Elon over the years,” Low told Politico. “Knowing Elon the way I know him, I do think he’s going to do everything to damage the president.”
Musk has spoken out against the GOP’s “one big, beautiful bill,” calling it “a disgusting abomination” in a June 3 post to X.
The former ex-DOGE head renewed attacks against the bill on Saturday, arguing on X that it would destroy millions of jobs and “cause immense strategic harm to our country.”
“He has been humiliated,” Low told the outlet. “The whole idea that Elon is going to be on his side and help woo Congress and invest in election campaigns for right-wing judges — Elon might do all of that, but deep down, it’s over.”
‘HE’S NOT A BIG FACTOR’: TRUMP’S SENATE ALLIES DISMISS ELON MUSK’S CALLS TO ‘KILL THE BILL’
Low, a neuroscientist and founder of the company NeuroVigil, has known Musk for 14 years and fired him from NeuroVigil’s board after Musk expressed he wanted to be taken off the advisory board, Politico reported, in order to prevent him from exercising stock options.
The report added both Musk and Trump’s sides say tensions have cooled since their viral online spat earlier this month, but Low suggested Musk is just biding his time. Musk even apologized, and Trump said there were no “hard feelings.”
White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said in a statement to Politico, “Politico’s fixation on another palace intrigue non-story is laughable and fundamentally unserious. The President is focused on Making America Great Again by securing our border, turning the economy around, and pursuing peace around the globe.”
Senate Republicans successfully carried the legislation over a procedural hurdle late on Saturday in a 51-49 party-line vote after hours of negotiations. All Republicans voted in support of advancing the bill except for Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Rand Paul, R-Ky.
ELON MUSK WARPATH AGAINST TRUMP’S ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ RATTLES HOUSE GOP
Following the procedural vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., required clerks on the Senate floor to read the entire 940-page Senate GOP version of Trump’s megabill. The delay tactic stalled debate on the package by about 16 hours.
The bill has been projected by the Congressional Budget Office to add trillions to the country’s already rising $36.2 trillion national debt.
A representative for Musk’s company, SpaceX, did not return a request for comment.
Low urged Trump to listen to some of Musk’s policy beliefs.
“Elon has wooed enough of Trump’s supporters to be an actual threat politically,” Low told Politico. “He doesn’t realize the battle that he has on his hands, and one way to cut the support away from Elon is to actually adopt some of the things he is for.”

Trump said Sunday that Musk is a “wonderful guy” despite their differences on Trump’s big, beautiful bill. The president has previously said Musk has “lost it” over his criticism of the legislation.
House GOP lawmaker known for bucking Trump calls it quits on re-election
A House GOP centrist from a key battleground district, Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., announced Monday that he will not seek re-election next year.
“After 30 years in the Air Force and 10 years in Congress, it’s time to spend my future with the love of my life, our four kids, and our wonderful grandchildren. Thank you, Nebraska!” Bacon said Monday.
Bacon’s announcement comes as Congress works overtime to pass President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” by their self-imposed July 4 deadline. Through the reconciliation process, the megabill seeks to deliver on the president’s key campaign promises, including tax cuts, immigration reform and energy production.
The moderate Republican has built a reputation for bucking Trump’s agenda in the House. While Bacon ultimately voted with his Republican colleagues to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last month, the Nebraska Republican had concerns about the impact of proposed Medicaid cuts.
THOM TILLIS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM SENATE AFTER CLASH WITH TRUMP
Bacon indicated earlier this month that he would vote against the White House’s rescission proposal if it cuts an AIDS relief program. Last month, he was the only Republican who voted against a House bill to make Trump’s name change for the Gulf of America permanent. Bacon, a loyal Ukraine supporter, has also criticized Trump’s position on its war with Russia.
REPUBLICAN REP INDICATES HE’S ‘A NO’ ON TRUMP-BACKED RESCISSIONS MEASURE
Surrounded by his family in Omaha on Monday morning, Bacon thanked his constituents and his family for their support throughout his political career. When asked how he plans to vote on Trump’s megabill this week, Bacon said he will have to weigh his decision once the Senate version is finalized this week.
“I think the Senate has done some new provisions in there that are concerning… But there’s a lot of amendments being voted out today. So I’m going to keep my powder dry, see how it turns out,” Bacon told reporters.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., announced Sunday he would also not seek re-election next year. Like Bacon, Tillis has been willing to buck Trump and the Republican Party on key issues, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Tillis was one of just two Republicans who voted against a procedural vote on the bill in the Senate this weekend.
Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District since 2017. He won re-election in 2024 by less than two percentage points.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris won his district by almost five percentage points in 2024. Nebraska is one of just two states that splits its Electoral College votes in presidential elections by congressional district.
Bacon’s congressional district was already a high-target House seat for Democrats ahead of the competitive 2026 midterm elections.
“The writing has been on the wall for months,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) spokesperson Madison Andrus said on Friday.

“Nebraskans are tired of the false promises that Republicans are trying to sell, and they want real results. Don Bacon’s decision to not seek re-election in 2026 is the latest vote of no-confidence for House Republicans and their electoral prospects. Next November, Nebraskans are going to elect a Democrat who will actually deliver for them,” Andrus added.
In a statement released Monday, Bacon said, “I’d like to dedicate more time to my family, my church, and the Omaha community.”
Bacon, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, chairs the House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) Cyber, Information Technologies and Innovation Subcommittee (CITI) for the 119th Congress. He vowed to continue delivering for Nebraskans “until the lights in the office are turned off for the last time.”
“Legislatively, I aim to work to get five agricultural bills passed that were included as part of the Farm Bill, including the increase of defenses for our nation’s food supply chain and removing barriers for the next generation of farmers seeking to establish their operations. I will continue my work on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and lay the groundwork for a new VA hospital in Omaha.”
Trump admin halts grant to nonprofit behind national fishing campaign after FOX report
EXCLUSIVE: A multi-year grant to a Washington-area nonprofit focused on promoting fishing, boating and outdoor activities was canceled by the Interior Department after Senate DOGE leadership flagged the original Fox News Digital report to the Cabinet agency.
More than $26 million has already been paid out – on top of $164 million since 2012 – to the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF), based in Alexandria, Virginia.
From the government website USA Spending, the grant’s purpose highlights RBFF’s “Take Me Fishing” consumer campaign that includes a social and digital media component, as well as ads on Walt Disney Company-branded streaming services and “mobile fishing units” that cater to urban communities and “underserved audiences.”
At least $40.5 million will be saved in the near-term, the Senate DOGE Caucus told Fox News Digital, citing Interior’s response.
DOGE SENATOR TELLS OUTDOORS GROUP TO ‘GO FISH’ AFTER DISCOVERING MASSIVE GRANT TIED TO HIGH SALARIES
“Today’s catch of the day is Washington waste,” said Senate DOGE Caucus Chairwoman Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.
“I am proud to have exposed bloated overhead costs and worked with Secretary Burgum to ensure tax dollars collected to boost fishing are not siphoned into the pockets of slick D.C.-based consultants.”
“There’s more pork in the sea, and I am going to keep fishing for it!”
Burgum’s office struck a similar tone, saying the agency is committed to fiscal responsibility, efficiency and accountability – while still fully supporting the recreational boating, fishing and outdoors industries.
A spokeswoman for the agency, which oversees the National Park Service that provides outlets for all of the above, said that “under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, we are ensuring that every taxpayer dollar serves a clear purpose and aligns with our core mission.”
“Following a review of discretionary spending, the Department determined that the use of this particular [RBFF] grant had not demonstrated sufficient alignment with program goals or responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources,” Charlotte Taylor said.
The grant, largely funded by excise taxes on fishing poles, came under DOGE scrutiny when Ernst discovered an RBFF contract with Disney worth $1.99 million plus hundreds of thousands in “SEO consulting,” and $5 million to a Minnesota creative media development agency. Several RBFF executives are paid from the mid-$100,000s on up.
DOGE CAUCUS SENATOR PUSHES FOR END TO SLUSH FUND FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
In part of a lengthy response to the grant’s cancellation, RBFF officials told Fox News Digital the organization has “devised a plan we believe would meet the goals and priorities of the administration, which includes adjusted employee compensation, reduced headcount and updated investment priorities.”
But the group claimed it has not been able to connect directly with DOGE or Interior during the grant review process “despite repeated outreach attempts during the past three months.”
A source familiar with the situation indicated the group had met with Ernst’s office, and Taylor said Burgum’s office did meet with RBFF in Washington earlier this month and has been in contact “multiple” times: “Anything to say otherwise is inaccurate.”
“Since 1998, [RBFF] has helped build what has become a $230.5 billion industry that supports 1.1 million American jobs, generates $263 million in tax revenue, and contributes $2 billion annually to fisheries and conservation efforts in all 50 states,” RBFF’s statement continued.
“Alarmingly, in just the past two months since RBFF’s funding has been paused, fishing license sales are down 8.6% across 16 states, representing the loss of over $590 million in angler spending and 5,600 jobs.”
Several other groups came to RBFF’s defense.
Matt Gruhn, president of the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, told Fox News Digital he was disappointed in Interior’s decision to terminate the grant.
“[RBFF’s] work was pivotal to enhancing the recreational boating and fishing industry’s recruitment, retention and reactivation efforts. Their training and resources vastly improved state agency processes and marketing and has made boating and fishing licensing and registration far easier for Americans,” Gruhn said.

“RBFF has been a responsible steward of these taxpayer dollars from the very beginning, with oversight from the very stakeholders that paid into the fund that RBFF’s grant originates from, as well as passing every audit with flying colors.”
Additionally, the head of the American Sportfishing Association warned of the “severe impact” the loss of grant money will have on the outdoors industry.
CEO Glenn Hughes said his organization’s members agreed in 1950 to self-impose a tax on fishing rods to reinvest back into the industry and bolster license sales, habitat conservation and more.
The RBFF’s “Take Me Fishing” campaign began in 1998 with congressional funding from the tackle tax. Hughes claimed the effort has generated a total of $230.5 billion in economic impact since.
“Without consultation and coordination with the recreational fishing industry, the Department of the Interior decided to withhold critical funding from RBFF, ultimately ending a 27-year history of increasing fishing participation and efforts to bolster the economic impact of the fishing industry.”
Deadly firefighter ambush investigation focuses on shooter’s ideology, expert says
A SWAT team has located a deceased man and a nearby firearm hours after a sniper shot and killed two firefighters and injured another while they were battling a wildfire in Idaho, authorities confirmed late Sunday.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s office said the deceased male was located on Canfield Mountain. A shelter in place was lifted, but an active wildfire remained, the sheriff’s office said.
The update came hours after the International Association of Fire Fighters confirmed that the two victims who were killed were firefighters. Some 300 law enforcement officers were on scene.
“While responding to a fire earlier today in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, IAFF members were ambushed in a heinous act of violence. Two of our brothers were killed by a sniper, and a third brother remains in surgery,” the association said. “Please keep them, their families, and law enforcement in your prayers.”
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the agency responded to the scene to provide tactical and operational support.
“FBI technical teams and tactical assets are currently on the scene providing support. It remains an active, and very dangerous scene,” Bongino said just before 9 p.m.
During a news conference, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said two firefighters were killed and a third was fighting for his life but was in stable condition after undergoing surgery.
CALIFORNIA SHOOTING LEAVES 1 OFFICER DEAD, ANOTHER WOUNDED
“We do believe the suspect started the fire and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional,” he said, noting that a preliminary investigation suggests there was only one gunman. “This was a total ambush. These firefighters did not have a chance.”
The sheriff said a recommendation was made at about 6:30 p.m. to neutralize the shooter. Law enforcement was able to track a cellphone signal to the suspect’s location.
He added that the fire compromised evidence at the crime scene, saying: “we felt that as the fire was approaching we needed to scoop up that body.”
It is unclear if the suspect had more than one weapon. That determination will not be made until the fire diminishes. The investigation will continue Monday morning, the sheriff said. Crews will continue working through the night.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office issued an alert earlier Sunday afternoon stating: “Active shooter at Canfield Mountain. Injuries have been reported, though the severity remains unknown. Please avoid the area.”
Norris had said that they were developing a plan to move people out of the mountains as soon as they had the fire under control.

Officials confirmed that the firefighters were responding to a brush fire near East Nettleton Gulch Road when the shooting started.
Norris said earlier that the suspect used what appeared to be “modern-day, high-powered, sporting rifles.”
“We’re taking rapid fire,” Norris said.
Due to the danger, fire crews had to retreat, and the brush fire continues to pose a threat. Authorities were urging residents in the vicinity to stay vigilant and exercise caution as the situation develops.
“I would encourage all of you to tell people to stay away from the area, do not come to the area. Stay away from the area,” Norris said earlier. “This is going to be if these, individuals are not neutralized quickly, this is going to be a likely a multi-day operation.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi shared a statement and said more support was heading to Idaho.
“Thank you to our incredible @FBI agents on the ground assisting local authorities in Idaho. We are praying for all,” Bondi wrote.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also said their department is actively monitoring the situation and that “justice will be served.”
WATCH:
Idaho Governor Brad Little reacted to the incident in a post on X.
“Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho. This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more. Teresa and I are heartbroken,” Little wrote. “As this situation is still developing, please stay clear from the area to allow law enforcement and firefighters to do their jobs.”
Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador also reacted to the situation, stating that this should never happen.
“Deeply saddened by reports that firefighters were shot while bravely responding to a fire in North Idaho. These heroes put their lives on the line for us every day; they should never be targets,” Labrador said. “Please keep our first responders and their families in your prayers.”
Norris said the sheriff’s office was in communication with the White House, FBI, and governor’s office.
WATCH:
Retired FBI Special Agent Jason Pack described the deadly ambush on Canfield Mountain as a “deliberate act of violence” against first responders, telling Fox News Digital that the attack was neither random nor accidental.
“Firefighters responded to a routine call for a brush fire and walked straight into an ambush,” Pack said. “This was not a random act or a tragic accident. It was planned. It was targeted. And it cost two brave firefighters their lives.”
As investigators work to piece together what happened, Pack said that authorities will work to “formally identify the shooter.”
He explained that while officials likely know who the suspect is, they will wait for forensic confirmation before releasing a name, which is standard procedure in major incidents.
“During the Nashville Christmas Day bombing, authorities waited for DNA confirmation, even though they had strong indications early on,” he recalled. Pack said that processing the scene presents unique challenges due to the active wildfire, which forced investigators to quickly recover the suspect’s body before flames destroyed critical evidence.

Pack said the investigation will now focus on the suspect’s background and motivations.
“Investigators will be digging into the suspect’s background, looking at social media, criminal history, mental health records, and any possible signs of anti-government ideology or personal grievance,” he said.
Ballistics experts will get to analyze weapons found at the scene, and an autopsy will help determine whether the suspect died by law enforcement action or [by] suicide.
“This kind of ambush against firefighters is extremely rare,” Pack said. “You do not expect to see firefighter names added to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland for that reason.”
Tillis slams White House ‘amateurs’ for misleading Trump on healthcare cuts
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., denounced President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” just hours after making the surprise announcement that he would not run for a third term in 2026.
Tillis voted against a motion to proceed with the spending package on Saturday and then announced his retirement on Sunday, citing political polarization and a desire to spend more time with family.
He then took to the Senate floor later Sunday to warn that “Republicans are about to make a mistake on healthcare and betraying a promise” on Medicaid should the package clear the upper chamber.
TRUMP REACTS TO TILLIS NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION, SENDS WARNING TO ‘COST CUTTING REPUBLICANS’
“It is inescapable that this bill in its current form will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval Office or in the Cabinet room when I was there with finance. He said, ‘We can go after waste, fraud and abuse’ on any programs,” Tillis said. “Now, those amateurs that are advising him, not Dr. Oz, I’m talking about White House healthcare experts, refuse to tell him that those instructions that were to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, all of a sudden eliminates a government program that’s called the provider tax. We have morphed a legal construct that admittedly has been abused and should be eliminated into waste, fraud and abuse, money laundering. Read the code. Look how long it’s been there.”
“I’m telling the president that you have been misinformed,” Tillis said. “You supporting the Senate mark will hurt people who are eligible and qualified for Medicaid.”
“I love the work requirement. I love the other reforms in this bill. They are necessary, and I appreciate the leadership of the House for putting it in there,” Tillis said. “But what we’re doing, because we have a view of an artificial deadline on July 4, that means nothing but another date in time. We could take the time to get this right if we lay down the House mark of the Medicaid bill and fix it.”
The two-term senator said he consulted with Republican experts in the state legislature, Democrats loyal to Gov. Josh Stein and an independent body from the hospitals’ association to gain insight on how the provider tax cuts would impact North Carolinians. In the best-case scenario, he said, the findings showed a $26 billion cut in federal support for Medicaid. Tillis said he presented the report to the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“After three different attempts for them to discredit our estimates, the day before yesterday they admitted that we were right,” Tillis said. “They can’t find a hole in my estimate.”
SCOOP: HOUSE REPUBLICAN EYES BID FOR THOM TILLIS SENATE SEAT AFTER TRUMP ATTACK
“So what do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there anymore, guys?” Tillis said. “I think the people in the White House, those advising the president are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise, and do you know the last time I saw a promise broken around healthcare? With respect to my friends on the other side of the aisle, it’s when somebody said, ‘If you like your healthcare, you could keep it, if you like your doctor, you could keep it.’ We found out that wasn’t true.”
In promoting the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, from 2009 to 2010, former President Barack Obama repeatedly claimed, “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” Tillis argued that it was the failures of that package that led to him becoming the second Republican Speaker of the North Carolina House since the Civil War and later to his election to the U.S. Senate.
Trump celebrated Tillis’ retirement announcement and issued a warning to other “cost-cutting Republicans.”
“For all cost-cutting Republicans, of which I am one, REMEMBER, you still have to get reelected. Don’t go too crazy!” Trump wrote Sunday night. “We will make it all up, times 10, with GROWTH, more than ever before.”
After his Senate speech, Tillis told reporters that he had told Trump that he “probably needed to start looking for a replacement.”
“I told him I want to help him,” Tillis said, according to Politico. “I hope that we get a good candidate that I can help and we can have a successful 2026.”
The senator told reporters Trump is “getting a lot of advice from people who have never governed and all they’ve done is written white papers.” He condemned “people from an ivory tower driving him into a box canyon.”

In his retirement announcement, Tillis said that “it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species.”
Mamdani defends plan to tax ‘Whiter neighborhoods’ as ‘fair’ policy
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his plan to tax “richer and Whiter neighborhoods,” while also adding that he believes billionaires should not exist.
The democratic socialist claimed Sunday that his push to burden White taxpayers was not racist, despite his agenda explicitly targeting White-majority areas.
“That is just a description of what we see right now,” Mamdani told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under taxed and overtaxed.”
Mamdani’s policy proposal, “Stop the Squeeze on NYC Homeowners,” outlines his plans to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and Whiter neighborhoods.”
NEW YORK MAYORAL HOPEFUL ZOHRAN MAMDANI SLAMS CAPITALISM ON CNN, CITES MLK TO DEFEND SOCIALISM
The policy notes that homeowners in wealthy neighborhoods “pay less than their fair share,” and proposes adjusting tax rates and assessment percentages to address the supposed imbalance.
NEW YORK DEMOCRAT SAYS MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI ‘TOO EXTREME TO LEAD’
When asked whether he would change the language of the proposal, Mamdani deflected, saying that the proposal is meant to ensure a fair property tax system and that the wording simply reflects an observation.
“The use of that language is just an assessment of the neighborhood,” Mamdani said.
“I’m just naming things as they are,” he added. “The thing that motivates me in this is to create a system of fairness. It is not to work backwards from a racial assessment of neighborhoods or our city.”

Mamdani also reiterated his belief that “we shouldn’t have billionaires,” despite campaigning in the city believed to have the most billionaires in the world at 123 people.

“I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly,” he said. “It is so much money in a moment of such inequality. And ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country.”
Influencer Hannah Moody’s cause of death determined weeks after body found
The cause of death has been revealed for a social media influencer who was found dead near an Arizona trailhead after being reported missing.
Hannah Moody, 31, died of environmental heat exposure, according to FOX 10 Phoenix. Her manner of death was listed in a Friday report by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner as an accident.
Moody’s body was discovered in a Scottsdale preserve on May 22, 600 yards off-trail after going missing the day prior. When the search effort launched, her car was found in the parking lot at the Gateway Trailhead in Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
Officers searched for her on foot, and also utilized drones and a helicopter. No signs of trauma were found, and investigators did not suspect foul play.

60-year-old referee ‘alive’ after John Cena blasts him during chaotic WWE main event
John Cena retained the Undisputed WWE Championship in a chaotic main event ending against CM Punk at the Night of Champions premium live event on Saturday.
While Cena came out mostly unscathed, there was one person who wasn’t participating in the match that took one of the hardest bumps of the night. The person was longtime WWE referee Charles Robinson.

Seth Rollins and his stablemates Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker interfered in the title match. Reed and Breakker took out Punk before Cena was thrown out of the ring. Rollins appeared to be ready to cash in his Money in the Bank contract to receive a title shot at any place and any time. He called for a new referee as the main referee of the match was knocked out of the ring.
Robinson sprinted down to the ring, but as he got close to the apron, Cena came over to shoulder block him and prevent Rollins from getting a chance to officially insert himself into the fold.
Cena and Punk eventually cleared the ring to resume their one-on-one matchup. However, Rollins eventually got into the ring and cost Punk a chance at the title. Cena pinned Punk and kept the belt around his waist.
