Dogecoin rebounds 3% as Elon Musk backs down from feud with Trump

Dogecoin, a crypto memecoin that tends to fluctuate on Musk-related news, rebounded on Wednesday after tech billionaire Elon Musk backed down from an escalating feud with President Donald Trump. 'I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,' Musk posted on X early Wednesday morning. 'They went too far.' Dogecoin popped 3% in the minutes that followed Musk's apology, jumping from 19 cents to above 20 cents, according to Binance. The currency has pulled back slightly since the post but remains up 2%. By comparison, Bitcoin is up less than a tenth of a percent since the post. The price rebound comes after Dogecoin fell 11% to 17 cents last week, as Musk and Trump entered into a public feud on social media. The dispute between the world's two most powerful people happened after Musk, who had concluded his time at the White House, took issue with the president's spending bill, calling it 'pork-filled' and a 'disgusting abomination' in an X post on June 3. Trump fired back saying that the easiest way to mitigate government spending would be to 'terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts' on Truth Social on June 5. In a since-deleted post, Musk responded by saying that his aerospace company SpaceX would begin 'immediately decommissioning' its Dragon aircraft which shuttles people to and from the International Space Station. Musk walked back the statement later that day, but the two men continued to exchange barbs. The same day, Musk dropped what he called a 'really big bomb,' claiming that Trump 'is in the Epstein files,' in another since-deleted post on X. The 'Epstein files' refers to documents the U.S. government collected during its investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that supposedly contained the names of his high-profile associates. Musk did not provide evidence to support his claims. Trump responded to Musk's claims by posting a screenshot of Epstein's former defense attorney David Shoen denying that Epstein had any information that would 'hurt' the president. 'I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer for nine days before he died,' Shoen wrote on X on June 5. 'I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he has no information to hurt President Trump.' Trump has also previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Last year, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social: 'I was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his 'stupid' Island.' Musk-related news has a history of influencing the price of Dogecoin, the crypto industry's first and most popular memecoin. The Tesla founder has repeatedly expressed his affinity for the currency over the years, proclaiming himself the 'Dogefather' on Saturday Night Live in 2021 and titling a federal agency the Department of Government Efficiency, or D.O.G.E. Dogecoin isn't the only Musk-affiliated enterprise that took a hit in value during his war of words with the sitting president. Tesla's share price dropped around 17.3% after Musk began feuding with Trump. It has rebounded since then, but still remains below its previous price. This story was originally featured on

White House says 330 immigrants arrested in L.A. since Friday

The White House said on Wednesday that 330 immigrants have been arrested in Los Angeles since Friday. 'Since June 6, there have been 330 illegal aliens that have been arrested as part of these riots in Los Angeles,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a Wednesday briefing. 'One-hundred and thirteen of those illegal aliens had prior criminal convictions, she added. The Trump administration has taken a hardline stance on immigration during its first few months, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests topping 100,000 under President Trump this year, per a White House spokesperson. 'There's been 157 people arrested for assault and obstruction-related charges,' Leavitt said during the Wednesday briefing. Trump deployed thousands of National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles over the weekend to quell expanding demonstrations in the city. Protestors were pushing back on local ICE raids that came amid the administration's crackdown on immigration. 'If our troops didn't go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now, just like so much of their housing burned to the ground,' Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors announced charges against two men accused of possessing Molotov cocktails amid recent Los Angeles protests in response to immigration raids. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Tuesday there were over 100 arrests Monday night amid recent protests, with 96 people arrested over 'Failure to Disperse.'

Ohio Senate, House each passed their ideal budget; What's next?

Jun. 11—An Ohio Senate vote this week finalized its two-year state spending plan that would, among many other things, create a flat 2.75% income tax; push funds to higher performing school districts; and use Ohioans' unclaimed funds to partially fund a new Cleveland Browns stadium. The 23-to-10 Senate vote Wednesday and the subsequent 84-to-1 House vote not to concur with the Senate's changes set up a so-called conference committee — a negotiation between hand-picked members of each chamber that caps off nearly every operating budget process. "This is tradition with budgets with limited exceptions," Senate President Rob McColley, R-Napoleon, told this outlet. "It's usually just the standard process of getting together, working out the differences and figuring out where we're going to end up for the final version." Whatever compromise the GOP-dominated House and Senate chambers agree on then has to be sent to Ohio's Republican governor, who wields line-item veto power and can cross out provisions he doesn't like. Most of the negotiation happens behind closed doors and out of public view, but the major points of contention heading into this conference committee are fairly obvious. Highlights from the Senate's now-confirmed plan compared to the House's plan include: — Creating a flat, 2.75% income tax rate for all Ohioans who earn more than $26,050 annually. The proposal eliminates Ohio's highest tax bracket for earners pulling over $100,000 per year, eliminating over a billion dollars in state tax revenue over a two-year period. — Expanding access to Ohio's "homestead exemption" property tax relief program by increasing the income threshold from $40,000 to $42,000 and allowing slightly more of a qualifying participants' home value to be tax exempt. — Granting county budget commissions the authority to reduce property tax millage "if the commission finds it reasonably necessary or prudent to avoid unnecessary, excessive, or unneeded property tax collections." — Eliminating replacement and substitute property tax levies. — Capping a school district's financial reserves at 50% of the prior year's operating expenses, as opposed to the House-proposed 30% carryover cap. General funds in excess of that 50% cap would then be portioned back out to the property taxpayers of that district. — Directing $600 million of the state's $3.7 billion in unclaimed funds to the Cleveland Browns' new stadium project instead of issuing public bonds as the House proposed. — Requiring school boards to obtain a 2/3 vote from members before putting a property tax levy on the ballot. — Adding $633.9 million more to the state's K-12 public schools than the current biennium, phased in largely through new "performance-based" incentives that will reward high-performing and improving districts with more cash. — Establishing a $100 million set-aside to potentially withhold from state universities that do not come under compliance of the newly-passed Senate Bill 1, which eliminates university-sanctioned diversity, equity and inclusion programs on public campuses. Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman, R-Lima, told reporters Wednesday that the Senate's school funding plan and flat tax rate will likely be central points of internal discussion as his caucus prepares for negotiations. "We'll have the next two-plus weeks to deal with it," Huffman said. "Our staff and some of the leadership and other folks are set to spend the weekend reviewing these items, so I think there's already discussions going on among a variety of people in different areas about what we may do." But, Huffman said he overall believes that the House and the Senate aren't too far apart on the big stuff — he likes the idea of a flat tax, he's framed the Senate's idea on using unclaimed funds to help the Browns as clever — but pointed to "a lot of very basic policy differences" within the disparate proposals. When asked about his non-negotiables, McColley said he didn't want to reveal too much. "But we're firm believers in some of the big items. The flat tax is something that we feel pretty strongly about," McColley said. "That would be something we're pretty committed to, hopefully we don't get a lot of push back. But other than that, we'll let the process play out." Asked about his non-negotiables, Huffman told reporters, "I'd like to tell you that there is nothing that's non-negotiable, even if somebody says it's non-negotiable."
