Vice President JD Vance acknowledged that Elon Musk may have burned too many bridges to repair his standing with President Donald Trump, following a recent clash that escalated rapidly and publicly.
Vance found himself having to address Musk’s string of critical social media posts in real time while recording an episode of a podcast. Among Musk’s accusations was a claim that Trump appeared in the “Epstein files.”
Speaking on the podcast episode released yesterday, Vance condemned Musk’s comments, calling the outburst a serious miscalculation. “I’m always going to be loyal to the president, and I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold,” Vance said, with a portrait of Trump behind him. “Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear.”

New research indicates that consuming sugar in liquid form could pose a greater health risk than once believed.
The findings come from an international study led by Brigham Young University (BYU) in partnership with institutions in Germany. Researchers examined health data from more than 500,000 individuals across various regions and discovered a strong connection between sugar-sweetened beverages—like soda and juice—and a heightened likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, sugars found in solid foods didn’t show the same correlation and were in some cases even tied to reduced diabetes risk.

California Governor Gavin Newsom raised the possibility Friday of the state reconsidering its contribution of federal tax dollars, following reports that President Donald Trump is weighing deep cuts to funding programs that benefit California.
The remarks came on the heels of a CNN story claiming the administration is exploring a “full termination” of federal grants for California’s public university system — a potential move that would strike at the heart of the state’s higher education infrastructure.

President Donald Trump clarified that he did not authorize the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who had been deported in March under contested circumstances.
“That wasn’t my decision,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News. “The Department of Justice decided to do it that way.”

Iranian state-controlled media and affiliated news organizations asserted today that Tehran had successfully acquired a massive cache of highly classified Israeli intelligence, supposedly including details about Israel’s defense systems and nuclear infrastructure. No proof was presented to substantiate these claims.
State television announced, “Iran’s intelligence apparatus has obtained a vast quantity of strategic and sensitive information and documents belonging to the Zionist regime,” emphasizing the alleged magnitude of the haul.
The announcement was echoed by Hezbollah-aligned al-Mayadeen and the semi-official Iranian outlet Tasnim, though none of the reports offered any specifics about the contents or origin of the purported documents.

An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City earlier today eliminated Asaad Abu Sharia, the head of the Mujahideen Brigades, a smaller terror group affiliated with Hamas. The group was implicated in the October 7, 2023, abduction and killing of several hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons. In a separate operation, another senior figure from the same organization, Mahmoud Kaheel, was also killed.
The Mujahideen Brigades acknowledged that both Abu Sharia and Kaheel had been killed. Abu Sharia led the group, which, though less prominent than Hamas, played a key role in the brutal attacks. Kaheel held a high-ranking position within the organization.

Hamas today released a new image of Matan Zangauker, an Israeli hostage, and claimed that Israeli forces were surrounding the location in Gaza where he is allegedly being kept. The group threatened to kill him if the army came any closer.
In a response, the Israeli military issued a statement clarifying that they had not carried out any rescue attempt for Zangauker.
The photo shows Zangauker lying on his side, partially covered by a blanket. An IV bag is visible in the background, suggesting he is receiving some form of medical treatment.
