In a newly released clip from an upcoming interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed frustration over a recent Republican-backed spending measure that had been celebrated by President Donald Trump.
During the interview, Musk criticized the bill, saying, “So, you know, I was like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not decrease it and undermines the work the DOGE team is doing.”
CBS correspondent David Pogue responded by pointing out the contradiction between the bill’s goals and Musk’s efforts, remarking, “I actually thought that when this big beautiful bill came along, I mean, like, everything he’s done on DOGE gets wiped out in the first year.”

Top officials at the European Union’s executive commission says they’re pushing hard for a trade deal with the Trump administration to avoid a 50% tariff on imported goods. Trump had threatened to impose the tariffs on June 1, but has pushed back the deadline to July 9, repeating an oft-used tactic in his trade war. European negotiators are contending with Trump’s ever-changing and unpredictable tariff threats, but “still, they have to come up with something to hopefully pacify him,” said Bruce Stokes, visiting senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Stokes also sees more at play than just a disagreement over trade deficits. Trump’s threats “are rooted in frustration with the EU that has little to do with trade,’’ Stokes said. “He doesn’t like the EU.

A harrowing incident unfolded Motzoei Shabbos in Northwest Baltimore when a rabbi defended himself with a firearm, successfully fending off two attackers who assaulted him and attempted to steal his vehicle.
According to the Baltimore Police Department, the attack occurred around 9 p.m. on the 7100 block of Park Heights Avenue. The 62-year-old victim had just stepped outside to take out the trash when he was ambushed.
Authorities reported that the two suspects struck the man and forced him to the ground before trying to make off with his car. When they were unable to get the vehicle started, the attackers turned their aggression back on the victim—only to retreat when he pulled out a gun and aimed it at them. The suspects quickly fled the scene.

An unsettling incident occurred yesterday at the entrance to the Kosel in Yerushalayim, where a security guard was filmed physically assaulting an elderly chareidi man.

Twice a year, New Yorkers and visitors are treated to a phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge, when the setting sun aligns with the Manhattan street grid and sinks below the horizon framed in a canyon of skyscrapers.

The first Manhattanhenge of the year takes place Wednesday at 8:13 p.m., with a slight variation happening again Thursday at 8:12 p.m. It will occur again on July 11 and 12. Some background on the phenomenon: Where does the name Manhattanhenge come from? Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson coined the term in a 1997 article in the magazine Natural History.
