Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) went off on a rant attacking Republicans for what President Donald Trump is calling his "big beautiful bill" for the 2026 budget.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk encouraged Republican lawmakers to vote against the measure because it would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit. Musk proclaimed last year during the campaign that he could cut $2 trillion from the government budget, but was only able to reach $160 billion of that goal.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) mocked the "family spat" that has been brewing between former DOGE administrator Elon Musk and President Donald Trump over a government spending bill.

At a DOGE subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Crockett noted that Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had called the hearing to address non-governmental organizations "bypassing Congress."

NBC News reporter Ryan Nobles noted that House Republicans once spent considerable time complaining that they were unable to read legislation from Democrats and the administration of former President Joe Biden. Now that they've been caught not reading President Donald Trump's budget bill before voting for it — and it's causing them problems.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made news on Tuesday when she confessed in an X post that she had no idea that the House budget bill had a provision in it "that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years."

An Army Captain went after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for being "immature" after his recent decision to change the name of a ship honoring civil rights leader Harvey Milk.

Former Missouri Secretary of State and U.S. Senate candidate Jason Kander spoke to MSNBC on Wednesday about the Pentagon's decision to "rebrand" the USNS Harvey Milk, a fleet replenishment oiler that is named for the slain Navy veteran and San Francisco Board of Supervisors member who was the first openly gay man elected to office in California.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon indicated that she was unaware of the Tulsa Race Massacre under questioning about President Donald Trump's "illegal" restrictions on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in U.S. schools.

During a Wednesday hearing before the House Committee on Education & Workforce, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) said that the Trump administration had "undoubtedly revived the culture of racism."

U.S. District Court Judge Nina Y. Wang reportedly ordered MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to stop all interviews and social media posts about his defamation trial.

Attorneys for former voting machine executive Eric Coomer notified Wang that Lindell had flouted the court's order against posting to social media from inside the federal courtroom.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk went off on an X tangent, attacking President Donald Trump's 2026 budget, which he's referring to as a "big, beautiful bill." Musk said that the legislation still adds $2.4 trillion to the deficit, at a time when he sought to reduce it.

Musk claimed last year that he could cut $2 trillion from the federal budget to help reduce the deficit. Despite his best efforts, he was only able to cut $160 billion. Now he's blaming Trump and Republicans for making things worse.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's attorneys have declined to argue that his election-rigging claims are true at a defamation trial in Colorado this week.

According to a partial trial transcript provided by KUSA, defense attorney Chris Kachouroff told the jury on Tuesday that it was not necessary to prove Lindell's voting machine claims. Lindell, however, has promised his followers that he would use the trial to banish election computers.

A veteran Florida reporter said he was bracing for president Donald Trump's inevitable response to Elon Musk's sharp criticism of his legislative priority.

The tech billionaire described Trump's sought-after "big beautiful bill" as a "disgusting abomination," saying it would explode the deficit, and Axios reporter Marc Caputo, who is well-sourced in Trumpworld, told "CNN News Central" that the president and Musk remain friends and allies, but their relationship has grown somewhat strained.

Billionaire Elon Musk's America political action committee (PAC) shared a warning to President Donald Trump's government hours after the former DOGE administrator slammed a spending bill as an "abomination."

In a post early Wednesday morning, America PAC suggested the government should be "fired" over Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill."

Elon Musk inveighed against the so-called "big beautiful bill" president Donald Trump is pushing Republicans to approve, and CNN's Harry Enten handicapped the four-way power struggle between the key players.

The tech billionaire called the spending bill a "disgusting abomination" just days after formally exiting his White House role, saying the measure would explode the national debt and undo all of his accomplishments with the Department of Government Efficiency, and Enten broke down polling data to project what might come next.

A conservative commentator clashed with CNN's John Berman and another panelist over defense secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to remove the name of gay rights activist Harvey Milk from a U.S. Navy ship.

The defense secretary is expected to announce the ship's renaming June 13 aboard the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned Navy ship, and the service branch is also reportedly considering renaming of other John Lewis-class oiler, a group of ships that are to be named after prominent civil rights leaders and activists, such as the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and USNS Harriet Tubman.
