Lawmakers react to Musk criticism of ‘big, beautiful bill'
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Elon Musk is rallying the troops online to kill the president's big, beautiful bill. In his latest post on X, he encouraged voters to call their Republican senators to object. Elon Musk's latest posts online have caught many Republicans off guard but are providing cover for Republicans skeptical of the plan. Despite the divide Republican leadership remains determined to pass the bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) attempted to brush off criticism from Musk. 'We were texting one another happy texts on Monday and then yesterday, 24 hours later, he does a 180 and opposed the bill,' said Johnson. Days after leaving the Trump White House, Musk took to X to bash the president's tax and spending plan writing, 'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.' Democrats on a mission to tank the president's big, beautiful bill are welcoming the unlikely ally. 'We're happy to have him on our side now,' said Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.). However, opposition to the plan is about all Musk and Democrats have in common. 'He's not my cup of tea, to put it mildly. But Republicans are already listening to him,' said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). AT A WEDNESDAY PRESS CONFERENCE SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER SAID REPUBLICANS CAN'T IGNORE THE DAMAGE THE BILL WILL CAUSE. A new estimate from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office finds as many as 10.9 million Americans would lose their health insurance under the current plan and while the package cuts taxes by $3.75 trillion it would balloon the federal deficit by more than $2 trillion over the next decade. 'The more you look at the bill, at the House bill, the worse it gets,' said Schumer. Fiscal hawks like Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who voted against the package in the House, say Musk is right. 'He started to figure out these guys aren't serious about cutting spending,' said Massie. Senators plan to meet with President Trump at the White House Wednesday to discuss changes to the bill.

Andrew Cuomo scrambles ‘bacon, cheese and egg' order in awkward breakfast Q&A, baffling NYers: ‘Should be a disqualifying offense'
It's an unforgivable schmear. Mayoral frontrunner Andrew Cuomo had egg on his face after he scrambled the name of New York City's iconic bacon, egg and cheese sandwich during a head-scratching Q&A. The former governor made a hash of his answer to a question about his go-to breakfast order and even confessed that he prefers English muffins over bagels – a revelation that had New Yorkers hotter than a bodega grill. 'Bacon, cheese and egg on an English muffin, and then I try to take off the bacon, but I don't really take off the bacon,' Cuomo told the New York Times in an interview Tuesday, bungling the order of ingredients of the Big Apple breakfast bulwark. 'The bagel I try to stay away from, to keep my girlish figure.' 3 Self-respecting New Yorkers — who know the order is always bacon first, egg second and cheese third — mocked Cuomo for his remix, tearing his choice of bread a whole new set of nooks and crannies. Manhattanite Juan Concepción, 34, couldn't bialy-lieve Cuomo's response as the candidate seemed to be groping for an answer. 'It was a muffin, then he says it's a bagel. Then he took off the bacon, so it's an egg and cheese muffin,' he said. 'At least he's trying to be healthy.' When read the order, employees at Jimbo's Hamburger Place laughed out loud. 'It seems funny,' said Kemo, 50, an employee at the burger joint along First Avenue near Cuomo's pad. Cuomo's comments didn't go over-easy on social media, either. City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens) gave it a ruthless review that questioned Cuomo's New York bona fides. 'Honestly, calling it a 'bacon, cheese and egg' instead of a bacon egg and cheese should be a disqualifying offense,' she posted on X. 'A truly insane thing to say in NYC,' another X user posted. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani, who's polling second behind Cuomo in the Democratic Party primary for mayor, pounced on the breakfast order during an unrelated press conference on Tuesday. 'It confirms so much of what we feared about Andrew Cuomo, not just that he doesn't know how to order a bacon, egg and cheese, but also the fact that this is a man who New York City has been something he's understood more through his television screen than actually by walking the streets, and we've seen that over the course of this campaign, he seems to be afraid of the city,' Mamdani said. 'He spends his time between his car and his $8,000 a month apartment in Midtown, and we don't ever know when we're going to see him, other than when it's legally required of him to be present.' The man Cuomo is running to replace — Mayor Eric Adams — has also been toasted by critics over some eccentric breakfast preferences. Adams told the Jewish publication Forward that he no longer eats bagels because of his diabetes — and has replaced them with something akin to rabbit food. 'I loved a good cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, and now I make my own bread with flaxseed and vegan cheese,' he said. Adams, who claims to be vegan, has been semi-regularly posting his breakfast smoothie concoctions, such as one with blueberries, romaine lettuce, avocado, cacao powder and green tea — a combination that prompted one X user to respond: 'Dude what the f–k.' Besides the breakfast brouhaha, Cuomo's interview with the Gray Lady provided ample fodder for his opponents' accusations that he's an out-of-touch carpetbagger. The Queens native acknowledged that he hadn't lived in the city since he was '32-ish,' which would be in roughly 1990. Cuomo signed the lease on his East 54th Street apartment in December 2023 and started living in it full-time during fall 2024, his reps have said. Cuomo's campaign didn't respond to The Post's request that he explain his breakfast order.

Organizers hopeful their famous classmate Hillary Clinton will attend the Maine South and East high schools 60 year reunion
Later this month, members of the Maine East/Maine South high school class of 1965 – which includes notable alums Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Candy – will attend what organizers believe will be their last formal reunion. 'Everybody that I talk to asks: 'Is Hillary coming? Is Hillary coming?'' Maine East/Maine South Class of '65 reunion committee member Bill Frey said, referring to the former secretary of state and first lady. 'I hope she does come, really,' Frey said, 'because this will be our last formal one.' The reunion is set to start June 20 with a cocktail reception. The main event is scheduled for the next day, with both taking place at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, organizers explained. The Class of 1965 was divided between two schools in the students' senior year, but they have – with few exceptions – held joint reunions every five years. In addition to Clinton and Candy, the class counts among its alumni an Olympic torch-bearer and a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter. Their 1995 reunion drew national attention when Clinton, now a former New York senator, U.S. secretary of state and Democratic candidate for U.S. president, hosted the event in Washington D.C. during her time as first lady. Clinton had been one of the first students to graduate from Maine South High School. According to archived clippings from the student newspaper, 'Southwords,' Clinton, then Rodham, helped write a constitution for the student body leadership and campaigned for Republican Barry Goldwater in a student mock election. Nevertheless, Frey pointed out that the success stories to come out of Maine East and Maine South go beyond Clinton. He mentioned their classmate Tim Lindgren, a Hyatt hotel chain executive, helped Clinton's childhood friend Betsy Johnson Ebeling and other organizers plan for the 1995 reunion. There were approximately 1,200 attendees. 'Betsy and I were sort of the ringleaders of the Washington reunion,' Lindgren said. 'I was kind of a vehicle to help them with things like the Grand Hyatt Washington and helping them with the catering.' Ebeling died in 2019. And before Clinton was on the national stage, their classmate Steve Goodman had captured the spotlight for his folk songs like, 'You Never Even Call Me By My Name,' 'City of New Orleans,' and 'Go, Cubs, Go!' Goodman died of leukemia in 1984. 'He just passed away too soon. A tremendous talent,' said Frey. 'He was a revered member of our class.' Frey said that after the class's 10-year reunion in 1975, the members of the class of '65 devoted themselves almost religiously to attending reunions every five years. 'The only one we missed, really, is during the COVID year, 2020,' he said. Lindgren pointed out that the Class of '65 lived through a transformative and divisive time. They graduated a few years after President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated, the Vietnam War was beginning to escalate and the Civil Rights Movement was reaching a boiling point. But Lindgren believes it's the fact that his class was divided physically that sets them apart. 'You had to go to Maine South or you had to go to Maine East, and Oakland Street in Park Ridge was the dividing line,' Lindgren said. He believes it's that separation that has made his classmates so determined to hold on to those ties for so many years. 'All of a sudden, you split from all your friends. That was really hard for a lot of us,' he said. 'We were two separate schools, but we decided we would always be one reunion in one group.' But he also recognizes that as class members reach their late-70s, many of them won't make the trip back in another five years, and that soon there won't be enough of them to hold big formal reunions anymore. 'I think we'll see that this is the last highly organized reunion that will ever happen' for this graduating class, he said.
