Elon Musk posts ‘Kill Bill' meme in latest push to nix Trump's Big Beautiful Bill
Less than a week after leaving his position as head of the White House's Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk is calling on Americans to urge their senators and representatives to "kill" the "big, beautiful" budget bill backed by President Donald Trump. Musk has grown increasingly critical of Trump's "big, beautiful bill,, claiming that if passed, it would increase the U.S. budget deficit by $5 billion. On Wednesday afternoon, Musk posted an image of the 2003 Uma Thurman movie "Kill Bill," appearing to reference his call to nix the Trump-backed bill. "We need a new bill that doesn't grow the deficit," Musk said on X. In another post, Musk urged: "Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL." Musk said Tuesday afternoon that he "just can't stand it anymore." "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk said. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." Musk previously criticized the bill during an interview with CBS, noting he was "disappointed" in the spending bill because "it undermines" all the work his DOGE team was doing. The bill passed the House in late May, ahead of Memorial Day, largely along party lines. However, two Republicans did vote against the measure, citing insufficient spending cuts and a rising national debt. GOP Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has also signaled he likely will not vote in favor of the bill in its current form, citing a debt ceiling increase that is a red line for him. Trump has lashed out at Paul and others for opposing the bill, but so far he has taken a more measured approach to Musk's criticism. "Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a Tuesday afternoon briefing when asked about Musk's most recent criticism. "It doesn't change the president's opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill and he's sticking to it," she said.

Trump Budget Calls for BLS Cuts, Raising Concerns Over Quality of Economic Data
The Trump administration is proposing to cut resources from the Bureau of Labor Statistics when the agency is already reeling from years of budget constraints, further compounding concerns about the quality and quantity of data produced about the US economy. The president's fiscal 2026 budget proposal would reduce BLS's budget and staffing each by about 8%, according to a budget document from the Labor Department, which oversees the statistical agency. Given those reductions, BLS will have to focus on major figures such as the monthly jobs report and the consumer price index, known collectively as Principal Federal Economic Indicators.
