Stephen Miller sidesteps Elon but opposes him amid rumors that his wife left him for Musk
Donald Trump's aide Stephen Miller strongly defended the 'Big, Beautiful Bill, without, however, naming Elon Musk once. He reposted other people's X posts and criticized them, put forward his point but did not repost Elon Musk's comments on the bill -- amid rumors that his wife Katie Miller has left him for Elon Musk.
The spending bill has become a flashpoint between Trump administration and Elon Musk as they are not on the same page following Elon Musk's exit from DOGE. Stephen Miller's wife has left her White House role to work for Elon Musk full time while the rumor is Katie Miller has also left Stephen Miller for Elon Musk. The Millers and Elon Musk did not issue any statement on the rumors. There were also speculations that Katie Miller, Stephen Miller and Elon Musk were a throuple before Stephen Miller was apparently left alone.
While Musk continued rallying against the spending bill, Stephen Miller acted as his counter as Miller called the bill 'the most essential piece of legislation...in generations."
'One of the bigger points of confusion on the BBB is spending vs. tax cuts,' Miller wrote Wednesday morning.
'The lefty CBO says extending the 2017 tax cuts (preventing their expiration) increases the deficit. Some critics have seen this figure and claimed or implied the bill increases *spending.*
Even according to CBO, the bill cuts spending over $1.6 trillion,' he continued.
Miller attacked Republican senator Rand Paul who was supporting Elon Musk, but Miller personally avoided any mention of Musk. "So when a libertarian (eg Rand [Paul]) attacks the 'deficit' impact of the bill, they are attacking the tax cut. Of course, honestly accounted, extending current tax rates has zero deficit impact which is why the bill, because of its spending cuts, reduces the deficit," Stephen Miller wrote.

Sambhajinagar ZP education department warns schools against illegal fee collection
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: In a move aimed at curbing the financial exploitation of parents, the zilla parishad's education department issued a circular earlier this month warning all aided, unaided, and self-financed schools in the district against collecting unjustified or unapproved fees. Schools were told that violations would result in strict action, including the suspension of non-salary grants. The circular, issued earlier this month and signed by the district's secondary education officer, Ashwini Lathkar, followed a memorandum submitted on July 24 by Sachin Nikam, the Marathwada regional president of the Republican Vidyarthi Sena. Nikam alleged that several aided primary and secondary schools in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city were demanding various fees from parents without any govt sanction. These included building fund, development fund, laboratory fee, sports fee, medical fee, admission fee, and examination fee, among others. Calling the practice "a serious matter," the letter reminded school principals that the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 — in force since 2010 — was designed to remove barriers in children's education and ensure quality schooling for all students aged six to 14. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linh Trung: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo The department reiterated key provisions of the Act, including section 4 on age-appropriate admission, s14 on proof of age, section 15 prohibiting refusal of admission, and section 16 barring detention or expulsion of students. The education officer stressed that all aided schools must display a board at their entrance clearly stating that the institution does not charge any extra fees beyond what is permitted under govt rules. Any school found violating this directive risks immediate suspension of non-salary grants. Additionally, fees not approved by the executive committee of the parent-teacher association can be deemed illegal. To enforce compliance, the department will soon form inspection squads to visit schools and verify that no unapproved fees are being collected. Principals have been instructed to immediately stop any fee collection beyond the approved structure and to ensure adherence to the Maharashtra Educational Institutions (Regulation of Fee) Act, 2011. The letter also cautioned against practices such as denying admission, refusing transfer certificates, preventing students from appearing for examinations, or barring them from classes — warning that such actions constitute violations under the RTE Act and could attract departmental action.

'Interdimensional beings': US lawmaker says she's confident there are things not created by mankind
Rep Ana Paulina Luna said she's confident that there are proof of "interdimensional beings". Florida Republican Rep and a prominent MAGA spokesperson Anna Paulina Luna said she is certain that Congress has seen evidence of "interdimensional beings". What are interdimensional beings? Things that exist and travel between dimensions of space or time. Anna Paulina said she did not make this up and it's based on evidence she's seen. 'And that's not something that I came up with on my own. That's based on stuff that we've seen. That's based on information that we've been told,' she said on the Joe Rogan podcast. Luna, and Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer, sent letters in February to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, asking for a briefing on all records connected to UAP -- unidentified anomalous phenomena. 'Based on testimony that would be based on witnesses that have come forward. But what I can tell you is just we're told that ... they've seen things,' Luna told Rogan. 'And what I can tell you without getting into classified conversations is that there have been incidences that I believe were very credible people have reported that there have been movements outside of time and space,' she added. 'Based on the photos that I've seen, I'm very confident that there are things out there that have not been created by mankind.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn about the gentle touch of harmony on your journey to wellness.

She told Rogan that during her time working as an airfield manager with the Portland International Guard, she met F-15 pilots who had likely encounters with UAPs. 'There's definitely something that I can tell you with confidence, that we don't know how to explain currently,' said Luna, adding that she believes information is being withheld. 'When you have thousands upon thousands of people throughout time that have reported something, to say that those people are crazy, to say that the whole concept of just asking the question [may mean] that you are not psychologically sound, that in itself is a disinformation campaign to get people to shut up about it,' she said. Luna said she's never seen a portal or a spaceship but was searching for documentation that could lead to more evidence of life beyond humans.
