Good morning. Donald Trump takes aim at Elon Musk, again. Senate Republican leaders struggle to gather enough votes to pass the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” And Jurassic World Rebirth fails to impress. Listen to the day’s top stories.

The feud between Trump and Musk continues. The president accused the Tesla CEO of benefiting excessively from electric vehicle subsidies and suggested the Department of Government Efficiency should take a look. It came after Musk threatened to ramp up his political spending to target Republicans who support Trump’s tax bill. Remember, it’s just last month that Musk voiced regrets over some of his comments on Trump after their dramatic breakup.
