Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch believes that Tesla owner Elon Musk's attempts to slash and burn the federal government have awakened voters who are now engaging in what he describes as an "American uprising."

In his latest column, Bunch focuses on the protests that are targeting the showrooms at Tesla car dealerships to protest against Musk's illegal efforts to shut down entire government departments without any congressional input or authorization.

X owner Elon Musk recently demanded that all federal employees send him an email outlining five things that they accomplished in the last week -- and he warned them that failure to do so would result in their termination.

However, at least one major department is instructing its workers to not comply with Musk's demand.

The New York Times reports that even some voters sympathetic to Republican efforts to cut government spending are expressing real concerns about X owner Elon Musk.

In a lengthy piece about the backlash Republicans are receiving at town halls, the Times quotes an East Texas veteran named Louis Smith, who recently told Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) that he was worried that Musk was hindering real efforts to root out federal waste.

A bomb threat that allegedly came from the Proud Boys interrupted a summit of conservatives who oppose President Donald Trump.

Minister and democracy advocate Reed Howard shared an announcement about the threat at Sunday's Principle's First Summit, which was set to include speakers like former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and former Trump administration official John Bolton.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Michael Taylor voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and 2024. In fact, he voted against him.

A Republican mayor who voted against Donald Trump in 2020 and 2024 is hitting the panic button over fears that his community's economy will collapse if the president follows through on his tariff threats.

Fox News host Mike Emanuel apologized to Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) after he repeated a profane attack on Elon Musk to the senator.

During a Sunday interview, Emanuel noted that Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) called Musk the "ultimate dick boss" after he demanded emails from every federal worker to justify their jobs.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz pressed Jason Miller, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump's transition team, after the commander-in-chief wrongly blamed Ukraine for Russia's invasion.

"President, as you know, has gotten absolutely hammered, not just by liberal journalists, but by National Review and the Wall Street Journal editorial page for blaming Russia for the invasion, blaming Ukraine, excuse me, for the invasion of Russia," Kurtz told Miller in a Sunday interview. "How can you defend that when the Kremlin sent troops and missiles into a sovereign country with the aim of wiping it off the map?"

Setting aside "Minnesota nice," Democratic Sen. Tina Smith told off billionaire Elon Musk after he lashed out at her for calling out his "ultimate d-ck boss move" where he threatened federal workers.

That has now grown into a social media battle.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) demanded the firing of locksmiths at national parks even if they were the only people who could save visitors "locked in restrooms."

Jordan made the remarks on Fox News Sunday after host Shannon Bream noted that government cuts recommended by billionaire Elon Musk were causing "entire offices" to be "wiped out."

NBC host Kristen Welker clashed with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) after billionaire Elon Musk convinced President Donald Trump's government to slash thousands of jobs.

During a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, Welker confronted Mullin with news from his state.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger butted heads with a GOP strategist after she defended DOGE head Elon Musk mass firings of federal workers regardless of how important their jobs are for American taxpayers.

Reacting to Musk firing off a post on X on Saturday telling federal workers they need to respond to an email and list five government tasks they completed last week or face being terminated, Republican strategist Kristin Davison applauded the "creative tension" the billionaire has created with civil servants.

After she noted it was about time a reduction of government workers was implemented, Kinzinger pointed out that Musk's methods are also eliminating jobs that most Americans would agree should not be touched.

"The government is all of a sudden going to find that it has an age problem and then when people's Social Security checks or, as a veteran, they're firing people at the VA hotline, the suicide prevention hotline, which, by the way, three years ago or so, we plussed up because too many veterans were killing themselves. Now all of a sudden we're cutting that because we want to save a few dollars," Kinzinger explained.

"I'm all for it but this is the wrong way of doing it," the former Republican lawmaker added. "And Elon Musk smiling and giggling on the stage of CPAC with a chainsaw? That is going to come back in every commercial against every Republican candidate about, 'Yeah, you didn't get your Social Security check on time or, you know, veterans that have taken their own life.' This guy was laughing about it on the stage with a chainsaw."

"Well, I mean, you know, you could say we got to cut smartly," Davison interjected. "Then why haven't we done it for the last 30 years? Republicans, I mean, when you were in Congress ––."

"Do you want to do it dumbly?' Kinzinger interrupted.

"No, I think Elon Musk is a disruptor –- it's what he does, " she countered. "He's not part of government. It's to break glass and change. He's already said, we're going to––."

"But there is a legal way to do it and there's an Elon way" the ex-GOP lawmaker interrupted again. "Elon is, I mean, they've been stopped at every end by the courts by the way. And then when they haven't, they're sitting there laying off probation –– if you think laying off all the probationary employees, including people that have moved up and now are in a different spot, is a smart way to go about government, I mean, it's fine. I'm not upset about that. I'm just telling you in a year or two we're going to pay the price for that."
