Elon Musk is not happy with President Donald Trump’s signature spending bill, distancing himself from the legislation that narrowly passed the House last week and is now headed to the Senate. The measure, which Trump has hailed as a “big, beautiful bill,” would extend the 2017 tax cuts while enacting deep cuts to Medicaid in an effort to partially offset the costs. However, a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that the legislation will increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade, largely due to the extended tax breaks. “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not decreases it,” Musk told correspondent David Pogue in an interview for CBS Sunday Morning.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is nominating his former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove, who as a high-ranking Justice Department official was behind the controversial move to drop the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, to become a federal appeals court judge. As acting deputy attorney general, Bove has been at the center of some of the department’s most scrutinized actions since Trump’s return to the White House in January. Bove ordered the dismissal of charges against the Democratic leader of America’s biggest city, accused FBI officials of “insubordination” for refusing to hand over the names of agents who investigated the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, and ordered the firings of a group of prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6 criminal cases.

In a major milestone, the IDF revealed on Wednesday that it successfully used an unidentified laser defense system—related to the Iron Beam—to take down multiple airborne threats during the ongoing conflict.
Although The Jerusalem Post had previously discovered that Israel had deployed laser defense systems as early as fall 2024, it was prevented from publishing the information at that time due to security restrictions.
The Defense Ministry credits Rafael Advanced Defense Systems for developing the Iron Beam and its related technologies, calling them the world’s most sophisticated operational laser defense solutions. While countries like the United States and the United Kingdom are also advancing in this space, Israel’s system is seen as the most capable.

In a dramatic race against time, Chaverim of Rockland successfully stopped an elderly man from falling victim to a $7,000 scam on Tuesday afternoon—just seconds before he stepped into a Monsey bank to withdraw the funds and convert them into gift cards for the scammers. The heart-pounding rescue began when community activist Yossi Gestetner noticed something alarming. “I got a strange call from my father—he sounded startled and hung up quickly,” Gestetner told YWN. “When I called back, he answered briefly, clearly panicked, and said, ‘I’m going to the bank,’ before hanging up again. That’s when I knew something was wrong. I immediately contacted Chaverim of Rockland.” Recognizing the red flags of an active scam in progress, Chaverim of Rockland wasted no time.

During a combative address to the Knesset on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu praised what he described as landmark successes in the Gaza war, claiming his administration had achieved “tremendous achievements” that “changed the face of the Middle East” and “broke the stranglehold of the Iranian axis.”
Listing what he called key victories, Netanyahu highlighted the killing of top Hamas operatives, and for the first time, publicly stated that the IDF had taken out Muhammad Sinwar — the brother of Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the October 7 attack.

Two Secret Service agents assigned to protect the home of former President Barack Obama have been suspended after a heated altercation between them erupted into a full-blown physical fight — just steps from the Obamas’ residence in the early hours of the morning. The explosive encounter, which occurred around 2:30 a.m. last Wednesday, has sent shockwaves through the protective agency known for its intense discipline and discretion. The incident first gained public attention after RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree posted footage of the fight, which quickly went viral on social media. The video, which appears to have been recorded by a passerby or security camera, shows two female officers engaged in a shouting match that escalates into a physical confrontation.

A major coalition crisis is looming over the government as the Chareidi parties have threatened to bolt the coalition in less than two weeks if the stalemate on advancing a Chareidi draft law continues after Shavuos. The office of UTJ chairman Yitzchak Goldknopf denied a Channel 12 report earlier in the day that stated that the Gerrer Rebbe had already decided that Goldknopf would resign from the coalition “even on the day after Shavuos” over the stalemate of the draft law.

The Knesset’s Committee on Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs on Wednesday held its ninth follow-up discussion on the involvement of the Israeli government in the rescue of children from the Lev Tahor cult in Guatemala. The Welfare Ministry has appointed an employee to the position of field director who will be responsible for Lev Tahor child victims when they arrive in Israel. During the meeting, the committee requested to receive an official document detailing the preparations of welfare authorities for the absorption of Lev Tahor cult survivors in Israel. Orit Cohen Amir, a representative of the families of Lev Tahor victims, said: “You can see that things are moving in the Guatemalan government and judicial system.

Iair Horn, who was freed from Hamas captivity in February amid a Gaza ceasefire arrangement, expressed deep uncertainty about the fate of his younger brother, Eitan Horn, who remains in captivity.
At a rally in Hostages Square commemorating 600 days since Hamas’s brutal October 7 attack, Horn described the paralyzing anxiety he lived with underground. “In the tunnels, you can’t know if a terrorist will get up one morning and just shoot you, or if the tunnel where you’re sleeping will be blown up because of a bomb,” he said.
He recalled one terrifying moment during an Israeli strike, when his captors forced them to flee. “They grabbed us and we started running in a totally crooked tunnel, which could collapse at any moment, trying to escape the bombing and toxic fumes.”
