🔵 Musk Turns on Trump

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, June 3.
Elon Musk on Tuesday tore into the massive tax-and-spending-cut bill backed by President Donald Trump, calling it a “disgusting abomination” that will explode federal budget deficits.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote in a post on X, his social media site.
“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO added.
The wife and all five children of Colorado terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman have been arrested by federal immigration agents and will be swiftly deported, sources told The Post.
Soliman, 45 — an Egyptian national who is accused of injuring 12 people with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails during an antisemitic attack in Boulder — was living in the US illegally for two months after his legal status expired on March 28.
Following his arrest on Sunday, ICE and Homeland Security Investigation agents have taken his family into federal custody, a Department of Homeland Security official told The Post.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said he sees a “tough time” ahead for the bond market as Republicans work to pass a tax cut and domestic agenda bill that could add trillions to the national debt.
The Republican-controlled House passed its version of the bill last month, which would extend the last round of GOP tax cuts passed in 2017 and kick millions out of public health care and food assistance programs.
Final cost estimates for the House version haven’t been released by the Congressional Budget Office yet, but it would add in the ballpark of $2.3 trillion to the national debt over nine years, according to a line item tally of major provisions in the legislation.
A court in occupied eastern Ukraine has sentenced a former U.S. journalist who briefly served as a spokesperson for Ukraine’s military to 20 years in prison in absentia, Russian authorities announced Monday.
Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, 47, traveled from the United States to Ukraine in March 2022 to report on Russia’s invasion and later joined the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces. He was appointed as the English-language spokesperson for the force in August 2023.
Ukraine’s military suspended him the following month after he said Kyiv would “hunt down” Russian state-affiliated journalists — remarks that drew condemnation from Moscow and prompted Russian authorities to pursue criminal charges.
Ukraine’s SBU security service said on Tuesday that it had hit the road and rail bridge linking Russia and the Crimean peninsula below the water level with explosives.
In a statement, the SBU said it had used 2,420 pounds of explosives that were detonated early in the morning and damaged underwater pillars of the bridge, a key supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine in the past.
The official Russian outlet which provides regular status updates on the bridge said its operation had been suspended for about three hours between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. local time.
A 37-year-old illegal immigrant man was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing at least one teen girl who the federal government sent to live with him as part of the Biden administration’s scheme to place “unaccompanied alien children” in the homes of unrelated, loosely-vetted “sponsors.”
Wilson Manfredo Lopez-Carillo was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office in Florida on May 22 and charged with three counts of sexual assault on a minor.
Police said in charging documents that the victim arrived in the United States in August 2023 as a 16-year-old, and was placed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the home of several people, whose names are redacted but appear to include Lopez-Carillo.
Prime Minister Dick Schoof has just announced that he would offer his resignation from the Netherlands’ ruling coalition while continuing in a caretaker government, setting the stage for a likely snap election.
“Wilders has plunged the Netherlands into another round of political chaos,” said Mujtaba Rahman, managing director for Europe at the Eurasia Group.
“The Dutch parliament can try to find a new majority or else there will be early elections. But the immediate outlook is one of chaos and uncertainty.”
