Trump Tuesday reached the Capitol to speak to the Republicans over his big, beautiful bill. He spoke to the Republicans for more than an hour and asked them not to touch Medicaid with cuts. 'We have unbelievable unity,' Trump said after the meeting. 'I think we're going to get everything we want.'
"President Trump, Andy Harris said that you didn't adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill," a reporter asked.
"After this speech?" Trump asked and answered: "Well, why don't we see how the vote is? I think it was a great talk. It wasn't a speech. We talked about things."
"Who do you work for?" Trump asked the reporter.
The report said he worked for NOTUS. "What? I don't even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job," Trump said.
As the video went viral, NOTUS journalists plugged their website and claimed that it's a good time to subscribe to their newsletter.

After tear gas and street fires, an Los Angeles community cleans up as National Guard troops arrive
COMPTON, Calif. — Ernest Melendrez woke up early Sunday to shovel tear gas pellets and other charred and broken detritus from his neighborhood's streets, the remnants of a battle between protesters demonstrating against immigration raids and federal and local authorities the night before. Melendrez wore a mask covering his nose and mouth, but he coughed often – it wasn't enough to protect him from remaining tear gas still in the air. Across the street, storefronts were covered in anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement graffiti. 'I think people have the right idea, just the wrong approach,' Melendrez said as cars whisked by him, some honking in appreciation or stopping to ask questions about the night before. 'Everybody has their own way of coping with stuff, and if nobody is there to help manage their feelings this is what can tend to happen. You need some community support.' Melendrez, his wife and daughter cleaned the streets that were obscured just hours earlier by huge clouds of tear gas fired by federal authorities. The protests prompted President Donald Trump to order National Guard troops deployed to downtown Los Angeles President Donald Trump says he's deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of California Gov. Gavin the clashes. More protests were planned Sunday, and troops dressed in tactical gear were seen stationed outside Metropolitan Detention Center downtown, where hundreds of demonstrators clashed with federal authorities previously. Newsom has called Trump's order a 'complete overreaction.' A Home Depot about a block away from where Melendrez was cleaning was the epicenter of the previous night's struggle. On Sunday it was empty and calm; a lone worker cleaned graffiti off the store's sign as customers drove in. As federal officers in tactical gear fired tear gas and other nonlethal weapons in Compton and Paramount on Saturday, some protesters started a series of small fires that left black char on the streets. Graffiti was scrawled on a doughnut shop, a taqueria, a gas station and other locally owned businesses. On Sunday the damage was still raw and uncleaned in Compton, save for Melendrez's efforts, with spray-painted slogans such as 'What is America without Immigrants' all around. Launie Melendrez, who is married to Ernest, said she supported peaceful protest, and empathized with the families 'being destroyed, that are getting wrangled up. It's sad.' She looked around at the local businesses that had been damaged, and shook her head. 'The destruction of people's hard work. This is how these people, their families, take care of themselves. And the destruction of that is not going to help your case.' Given the breadth of the damage, neighbors said they were angry they were being left to clean up the mess. Melendrez's daughter, Elaina Angel, grew up in Compton and said she wasn't surprised. But it still left her feeling frustrated to see the Home Depot already reopened while her streets and local businesses were still marred by trash and graffiti. 'They don't care about Compton,' she said through her mask, stopping to cough from the irritation. She meant political leaders, law enforcement authorities and others who were nowhere to be seen Sunday morning. "But I don't think they were counting on us to come out and clean it up.'

Elon Musk's dad Errol calls son's Trump feud a ‘just a small thing', predicts it'll be over soon
Errol Musk, father of billionaire Elon Musk, described his son's recent public clash with President Donald Trump as a 'mistake' and predicted that Trump would ultimately come out on top in the bitter dispute. Errol Musk said the feud was fueled by stress and exhaustion. 'They've been under a lot of stress for five months. And it gives them a break. You know, they've had to get rid of all the opposition, try and put the country back on track, and do normal things and so forth,' he told Russian media, as per daily newspaper Izvestia. Errol added, 'They're very tired and stressed. And so you can expect something like this. It's not unusual.' The elder Musk was clear on the outcome he expects from the spat. 'Trump will prevail. He's the president. He was elected as the president, so Elon made a mistake, I think. But he's tired. He's stressed.' Elon, according to Errol, 'wants to stick to the principles of not giving in to the Democrats [and] their stupid ideas. It's normal, it's just a small thing, [it] will be over tomorrow.' The conflict escalated with Elon Musk publicly criticising Trump and Republican legislation 'One Big Beautiful Bill Bill,' which Musk called 'pork-filled' and a 'disgusting abomination.' Last Thursday, Musk intensified his attacks, claiming without his support, 'Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.' At one point, Musk even appeared to support impeachment efforts against Trump and controversially referenced Trump's name in connection with the Epstein files, though that post was later deleted. The feud has strained Musk's business ties with the government. Trump threatened to cut federal contracts with Musk's companies, and Musk hinted at retiring the Dragon spacecraft—the government's primary means of orbital access. While Trump downplays any reconciliation, warning Musk of potential 'consequences' if he financially backs Democrats in 2026, Musk has reportedly shown openness to patching things up. Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism about bringing Musk back into the Republican fold. When asked about reconciliation, Trump was dismissive: 'No, I don't have any plans. I'm not really interested. I'm not thinking about Elon. You know, I just wish him well.' Trump also suggested Musk 'lost his mind' and had gone 'crazy' amid the public conflict.
