Summary

Republicans’ efforts to portray Elon Musk as a MAGA martyr are failing, as his victim narrative struggles to resonate with conservative audiences.

Musk’s controversial statements and perceived elitism, including his complaints of being targeted by Democrats, have alienated even right-wing supporters.

Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand, and Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings, especially on economic issues.

Attempts to rally sympathy for Musk, including his emotional Fox News appearance, have largely backfired.

Summary

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement rejecting Trump's call to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled against Trump's deportation plans.

Roberts declared "impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision."

Trump had labeled Boasberg a "troublemaker and agitator" on social media after the judge blocked deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The conflict escalated after the administration allegedly ignored Boasberg's verbal order to return deportation flights. Legal experts called Trump's demand "a direct threat to judicial independence."

The storms come just weeks after the Trump administration cut the jobs of hundreds of federal weather forecasters. The New York Times reported last week that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is responsible for tornado warnings and other weather forecasts, is set to cut 20 percent of its workforce. Meteorologists and scientists warned earlier this month that eviscerating weather agencies would risk public safety.

“It’s going to affect safety. It’s going to affect the economy,” warned former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad in an interview with the Associated Press, pointing out that the country was “getting into prime tornado time.”

As the devastated areas begin to rebuild, they will also have less help. At the directive of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency also cut 200 positions barely a week ago and is making preparations to cut more.

What's trump going to do about egg prices?

Hey conservatives, you were super mad at Biden about egg prices right? You must be SUPER mad at Trump not fixing egg prices in less than the time it takes for a chicken to grow up and start laying eggs.

Youre probably burning your trump hat right? I saw a reddit post about conservatives were burning their trump merch. Because of the egg prices. They can't wait six weeks for him to bring down the egg prices.

What an ineffective president, taking a whole two months to bring down egg prices.

Hey conservatives, what about the egg prices??? Feeling smart now???

Interesting highlights:

• “Oopsie…Too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a Trump ally who agreed to house about 300 migrants for a year at a cost of $6 million in his country’s prisons, wrote on the social media site X above an article about Boasberg’s ruling. That post was recirculated by White House communications director Steven Cheung.
• “Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.
