A war of words has erupted between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with the former president reportedly calling musk a “big-time drug addict.” Musk has denied these‍ allegations. The feud comes amid growing criticism of Trump’s proposed tax bill, dubbed “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”

Musk isn’t alone in his skepticism. Some Republicans are worried about the potential consequences of the legislation. One GOP member⁣ called it “political suicide,” while another criticized Trump’s advisers for lacking “insight into how these provider tax cuts are going to be⁤ absorbed without harming people on Medicare.” One ⁤lawmaker even claimed she‍ wouldn’t have voted for the bill if she had fully understood its contents.

The White House is urging Republicans to “stay tough” as the Senate debates amendments to Trump’s bill. Research indicates⁤ that the wealthiest Americans could save ⁢nearly $100,000 annually under the proposed tax changes.

In other news, the Trump governance is suing Los Angeles over its sanctuary city policies. Simultaneously occurring, falling vaccination rates are causing a resurgence of old diseases.

What’s next

The senate will continue to debate and amend Trump’s tax bill, with potential for significant changes before a final⁢ vote.
