Two senior White House officials told CNN that Trump called Bezos to complain about reports that the company was considering displaying the cost of US tariffs on its website, a move that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called a 'hostile political act.' Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle said in a statement, 'The team that runs our ultra-low cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen.'

Judge: Trump administration can dismantle Institute of Museum and Library Services
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Friday denied a request by the American Library Assn. to halt the Trump administration's further dismantling of an agency that funds and promotes libraries across the country, saying that recent court decisions suggested his court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon had previously agreed to temporarily block the Republican administration, saying that plaintiffs were likely to show that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to unilaterally shutter the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which was created by Congress. But in Friday's ruling, Leon wrote that as much as the 'Court laments the Executive Branch's efforts to cut off this lifeline for libraries and museums,' recent court decisions suggested that the case should be heard in a separate court dedicated to contractual claims. He cited the Supreme Court's decision allowing the administration to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in teacher-training money despite a lower court order barring the cuts, saying that cases seeking reinstatement of federal grants should be heard in the Court of Federal Claims. The American Library Assn. and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a lawsuit to stop the administration from gutting the institute after President Trump signed a March 14 executive order that refers to it and several other federal agencies as 'unnecessary.' The agency's appointed acting director then placed many staff members on administrative leave, sent termination notices to most of them, began canceling grants and contracts and fired all members of the National Museum and Library Services Board. The institute has roughly 75 employees and issued more than $266 million in grants last year. However, a Rhode Island judge's order prohibiting the government from shutting down the institute in a separate case brought by several states remains in place. The administration is appealing that order as well.

Trump says Elon Musk will face ‘very serious consequences' if he funds Dems in future elections
WASHINGTON — President Trump warned Saturday that his former ally Elon Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he starts bankrolling Democratic candidates for office after their nasty public split over a Republican spending bill working its way through Congress.

Advertisement 3 Musk and Trump have been feuding after the Tesla CEO spoke out on the president's 'big beautiful' bill.

Musk Deletes His ‘Really Big Bomb' Claiming Trump Appears in Epstein Files
In the middle of their very public breakup, a scorned Elon Musk decided to drop a 'really big bomb' on Donald Trump, accusing the president of appearing in the Epstein files. Sometime Saturday, it seems the billionaire decided he wanted to try to disarm that bomb, as he deleted his posts claiming that Trump has links to the famous child sex trafficker. Musk and Trump had been acting catty for a couple of days by the time Musk went nuclear, going back and forth over Musk's opposition to Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'—a proposal that includes the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs in history. Musk objected to the bill, but not because it would be devastating to low- and middle-income households, but seemingly rather because it was going to hurt his own bottom line by ending electric vehicle tax credits that Tesla benefits from. Musk tried to kill the bill by posting incessantly about it, creating a rift among Republicans who will essentially need everyone in the party to be on board in order to get the thing passed. Trump, annoyed, took some shots at Musk for his dissent, which led to Musk just blowing the whole thing up. He said Trump appeared in the Epstein files and 'That is the real reason they have not been made public.' Funnily, he also doubled down by saying, 'Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.' Those posts are now deleted—though have, of course, been archived, screenshotted, and quoted many times over. So, too, has a post in which Musk supported the idea that Trump should be impeached. He hasn't gotten around to taking down his post claiming that Trump's tariffs will cause a recession, so, it's clear the two aren't fully ready to make up, even if there is a de-escalation. We're also starting to get more of a picture of what has been happening behind the scenes while these two air out each other in public. A report published Saturday by the Washington Post claims that Trump was 'dejected' during Musk's crash out, and tried to rationalize Musk's behavior by calling him 'a big-time drug addict.' Musk had apparently been acting erratically for quite some time (not exactly a shock if you've scrolled through his posts on Twitter for like, 30 seconds), and a reported physical conflict with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that saw Musk supposedly throw his shoulder into Bessent was the breaking point where the billionaire started to get pushed out, per the Post. Trump opted not to pour gasoline on the situation—a shocking decision from a guy not exactly known for his restraint—but also is apparently not interested in reconciling with Musk. An official within the administration told the Post that even if they do make up, 'It'll never be the same.'
