    Elon Musk said he is "disappointed" by the costs of President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" passed by Republicans in the House last week. "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk told "CBS Sunday Morning" in an exclusive broadcast interview The remarks by Musk, who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, are in contrast to Trump, who backed the legislation, which still needs Senate approval.
  • Trump's tax hike proposal is 'déjà vu' of George H. W. Bush's 'read my lips' moment, experts say

    Americans lambasted President George H. W. Bush for infamously vowing on stage at the 1988 Republican National Convention not to raise taxes on Americans, then supporting a tax hike as president two years later. History could repeat itself as President Donald Trump this week signaled his support for congressional Republicans raising taxes to accomplish the ambitious goals of his "big, beautiful bill," according to experts. "My opponent won't rule out raising taxes, but I will. And the Congress will push me to raise taxes, and I'll say no. And they'll push and I'll say no. And they'll push again, and...

    Billionaire Barry Diller has come out as gay - but insists he enjoyed a full sexual relationship with fashion designer wife Diane Von Furstenberg. Diller, a renowned media exec who previously served as CEO for both Fox and Paramount, opened up about his homosexuality in a soul-baring article penned for New York magazine Tuesday. The 83-year-old credited with creating the Fox channel wrote of Von Furstenberg: 'While there have been a good many men in my life, there has only ever been one woman. 'And she didn’t come into my life until I was 33 years old.' Diller and Von...

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that he had "proudly ended" the Women, Peace and Security program at the Pentagon on Tuesday, a program signed into law by President Donald Trump in his first term. "WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops – distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING," Hegseth wrote in a post on X. "WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it." Hegseth said the department would comply with the minimum requirements of the program dictated by law and lobby to...

    What a big surprise that a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out! They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations. NOT going to work with me, because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of war fighters and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn't matter.

    If you hear a Republican giving this oxygen, change the channel & make a note to never listen to that person again. They are either ignorant or deceived or too stupid to understand - or worse, they are not playing for the right team.

    Fox News host Jessica Tarlov confronted billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday over his glaring conflicts of interest as an adviser for President Donald Trump. “So you’ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have open investigations and regulatory battles with your companies,” said “The Five” host of Musk’s push to purge the federal budget of wasteful spending with his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. She continued, “At the same time you continue to get billions in government contracts. Tesla gets billions in subsidies. How do you explain that to the American people?”Tarlov has previously called out the...

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont - champions of the left - repeatedly targeted President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk as they kicked off a three-day swing through three electorally important western states. But Sanders, and especially Ocasio-Cortez, also trained some of their fire on the Democratic Party, with the best-known member of the so-called "Squad" of diverse and progressive House members urging her own party to have "the courage to brawl" against Republicans. And Sanders and Cortez took to the stage at their first stop in Las Vegas, Nevada, while...

    Republican strategist Karl Rove said President Trump’s claims that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has discovered “hundreds of billions” in government “fraud” will backfire when Democrats spotlight a lack of prosecutions of those involved. During an appearance on Fox News’s “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy,” Rove echoed Democratic strategist James Carville’s sentiment that Democrats should “allow the Republicans to crumble beneath their own weight.” In his joint address to Congress last week, Trump criticized the “appalling waste” in government spending, while praising DOGE head and tech billionaire Elon Musk for discovering “hundreds of billions of dollars of...

The highly anticipated release of files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday did not include a "client list" or any new startling information, and speculation continued into Friday with the Justice Department saying that some of the documents were still being...

But a letter signed by 40 outlets and organized by the White House Correspondents’ Association implored the White House to lift the ban, according to The New York Times.... Liberal media outlets like The New York Times, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Washington Post signed the letter. But interestingly, so did conservative outlets like Fox News and Newsmax.

    President-elect Donald Trump says that he wants to work with Democrats on a "plan" to help illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under an Obama-era order -- echoing a similar push he attempted in 2019. Trump was asked in an interview with NBC News on Sunday about "dreamers," an activist-preferred term for illegal immigrants who arrived as children, and whether they would be included in his plan for mass deportations.

    President Trump and Elon Musk are the ultimate dynamic duo. Their partnership might seem random, but it feels like something written in the stars. Ironically, this game-changing collaboration might never have happened if Joe Biden hadn’t snubbed Musk by excluding him from the White House summit on the future of electric vehicles—despite Tesla being responsible for over 70 percent of EV sales. Could this be the perfect opportunity for Elon Musk to swoop in and buy Fox News? The progressive hacks at Vanity Fair seem to think so—and you can bet they’re terrified it might actually happen.

    Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” network host Trey Gowdy, a former South Carolina congressman, blasted President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Gowdy suggested Gaetz was corrupt and said naming a corrupt person to head the Department of Justice would not alleviate the corruption. “Trey, I had Senator Thune on, the incoming Senate majority leader yesterday, and he basically said, listen, it’s not going to be easy,” host Bret Baier said. “Some of these picks are not going to be easy to get through. But there is this mandate just by the vote that...

    Big Oil is calling on President-elect Donald Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate agreement after withdrawing from the treaty during his first term. The Paris Agreement, established at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in 2015, is a legally binding treaty between nearly 195 parties who are committed to international cooperation on climate change. Trump officially withdrew from the treaty in 2020, but the U.S. was reinstated to the climate agreement in 2021 after President Biden took office. After winning a second term in the 2024 election, Trump is expected to consider a second withdrawal from the agreement....
