CNN's Erica Hill needled tech mogul Elon Musk's late-night about-face in his feud against President Donald Trump.

The president and his billionaire benefactor publicly split last week after Musk lambasted the so-called "big beautiful bill" as a "disgusting abomination," and the break-up quickly escalated into a bitter war of words on social media that Musk now regrets.

Conservative actor Jon Voight fulminated against California Gov. Gavin Newsom – whom he called a "lying dog" and a "fool" – just days after meeting with him in his role as president Donald Trump's "Hollywood ambassador."

The 86-year-old actor posted the blistering harangue late Tuesday, after Newsom sharply criticized the president's escalation of the situation in Los Angeles by activating National Guard troops and U.S. Marines without the governor's approval, and Voight defended Trump in a two-minute video posted on X, reported The Daily Beast.

A former homeland security official walked through a number of president Donald Trump's claims about the Los Angeles protests and found that almost none of them were accurate, and some were unlawful.

The president has called out thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of U.S. Marines to the city, where protesters have clashed with local police over the Trump administration's recent immigration crackdown, and former Department of Homeland Security undersecretary Juliette Kayyem fact-checked the president's justification for escalating the conflict.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) tore into President Donald Trump's latest claim that the California governor and Los Angeles mayor "paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists" to riot — one of the many pretexts he is using to send the National Guard and Marines into Los Angeles to break up protests against his mass deportations.

"What's your response to that, Senator?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked him on Tuesday evening.

The mayor of Los Angeles was aghast Tuesday at President Donald Trump’s newest attack, in which he accused California officials of paying "troublemakers, agitators, and insurrectionists."

Trump escalated his feud with Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom during a speech earlier in the day at Fort Bragg. Trump's comments became the topic of discussion on Erin Burnett's show, "OutFront."

President Donald Trump made a series of inaccurate claims in his remarks on Tuesday, conflating World War I and World War II, incorrectly suggesting he spoke with the governor of California on Monday when it was just after midnight Saturday morning, and asserting—contrary to the First Amendment—that protests, even peaceful ones, can be shut down with “heavy force.”

During remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked when he last spoke with California Governor Gavin Newsom. “A day ago,” he said Tuesday afternoon, which was three and a half days after the governor confirmed his phone call. Trump also confirmed the call by sending a screenshot to a Fox News reporter. The screenshot read June 7, 1:23 AM.

A prominent House Democrat urged U.S. military members Tuesday afternoon to question any orders given by President Donald Trump as they pertain to their deployment to quell protests in Los Angeles.

Trump ordered the deployment of both National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in recent days in response to heated protests against his administration’s immigration enforcement actions. The move came despite strong opposition from California’s state and local leaders.

President Donald Trump goaded U.S. Army troops into booing the free press Tuesday afternoon while cheering for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

During a speech in North Carolina, Trump noted that he had reversed the Biden administration's decision to change the name of Fort Bragg and other bases with names related to the Civil War.

MSNBC's Susan Del Percio ripped House Speaker Mike Johnson's criticism of California Gov Gavin Newsom as "blatantly" false.

The governor has been challenging President Donald Trump and other administration officials over their deployment of U.S. Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles, without his approval, to assist local law enforcement in their handling of immigration protests. The House speaker was asked to comment on Trump's suggestion that Newsom should be arrested.

President Donald Trump warned that anyone who protests the military parade on his birthday this weekend will be met with "very heavy force."

Although protesting is legal in the U.S., Trump insisted demonstrators would not be tolerated on his birthday.

President Donald Trump posted a video of himself speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday about protests in Los Angeles — reinforcing a threat he made just minutes earlier

"If there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it," he said referring the the Insurrection Act, an extremely rarely used law that authorizes the president to deploy military forces within the United States to suppress rebellion.

In a bizarre video this week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claimed the U.S. was "closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before" because of "political elites" with bomb shelters.

Gabbard made the claims in a post to X on Tuesday after she said she recently visited the site where the U.S. dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.
