Musk's question about creating new political party piques Stephen A Smith's interest amid CEO's Trump feud
President Donald Trump and billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's feud exploded on social media, and one potential 2028 presidential contender added his two cents into the mix. ESPN star Stephen A. Smith fired off a post on X in the midst of the president and Musk's extremely public break-up in front of millions of social media users. Musk asked his X user base whether it was time to "create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle." The "First Take" pundit fired off another take, expressing interest in what Musk asked. "Mr. @elonmusk I'm all for moving America to the CENTER. I'm definitely down for that cause! Sign me up!!!" he wrote. Smith has expressed his dissatisfaction with both sides of the political aisle, criticizing how Democrats handled governing the country over the last four years, particularly with open borders, high spending, identity politics and cancel culture. He's also had his criticisms of Trump, pointing to the administration's dismantling of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. He's also maintained that he may have "no choice" but to consider a presidential run. As Smith has toyed with a presidential run, Trump and Musk have gone toe-to-toe after months of cozying up with one another. The main issue appeared to be opposite ideas about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that was drafted and for which Trump has expressed support. Musk then made a jab over Trump's former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The White House said earlier on Thursday that a source familiar with the Epstein matter said it is widely known that Trump kicked Epstein out of his Palm Beach Golf Club. The source also pointed out that the administration released the Epstein files, which included Trump's name, and nothing was new about Musk's revelation. Shortly after Musk posted about Trump being in the Epstein file, Trump posted his response to Truth Social. "I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress," Trump said, turning his attention to the "big, beautiful bill" that is before the Senate. "It's a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn't pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that." "I didn't create this mess, I'm just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" the president added.

San Francisco Chronicle projects shine at Society for News Design's annual competition
The San Francisco Chronicle earned 13 honors — including two bronze medals — at the Society for News Design's annual competition, which recognizes excellence in visual journalism across the globe. The wins, announced in April following judging in Minneapolis, underscore the Chronicle's continued commitment to data-driven and design-forward storytelling. The winning entries were newsroom-wide collaborations led by members of the Chronicle's design, data, photo, editorial, audience and marketing teams and the Hearst DevHub. The Chronicle's standout project, an investigation into the long-term impacts of mass incarceration on San Francisco's Japantown, received bronze medals in both infographics and digital design, and an Award of Excellence for illustration. The project was praised by judges for, among other things, its powerful storytelling blended with effective use of historical maps, demographic data and illustrations. The Chronicle earned 10 more Awards of Excellence for work in local news, sports, lifestyle and investigative reporting. Judges praised the California College Admissions Guide for pairing crisp infographics with an elegant, user-friendly design, while the Painted Ladies project earned a nod for visually untangling San Francisco's property-tax quirks. Honors also went to a graphic breakdown of Stephen Curry's ever-evolving game, the striking layout of a feature on AI-generated images of the city, a playful guide to scoring a coveted reservation at the House of Prime Rib, and a deeply-reported look at Powell Street's post-pandemic struggles. The Chronicle's investigative work also earned praise. Judges honored 'Fast and Fatal,' a data-rich probe of deadly police chases, and 'S.F.'s Path to Tragedy,' an interactive look at the city's record overdose deaths, for turning complex public-safety crises into clear, urgent storytelling. Rounding out the haul was the Kamala Harris News Assistant — an innovative AI tool spearheaded by the DevHub that lets readers explore decades of Chronicle reporting on the vice president — which earned an award for experimental product and platform design. 'These awards show the continued commitment to excellence in all forms of visual storytelling from the Chronicle and our collaborative partners within Hearst Newspapers,' said Alex Fong, the Chronicle's creative director and SND's vice president. Fong also served as a judge for the competition this year in the World's Best Designed category, which honors the publications with the highest overall achievement for design in print and in digital worldwide. He abstained from judging the Chronicle's entries and was not present during any discussions of the Chronicle's work. 'The results are a cross-newsroom and cross-organization success, with honors for work that pushes the boundaries of visual, data and product design and development for news,' Fong said. 'I'm proud that our regional news organization is producing work that stands toe-to-toe against what far larger publications are making.' The San Francisco Chronicle ( is the largest newspaper in Northern California and the second largest on the West Coast. Acquired by Hearst in 2000, the San Francisco Chronicle was founded in 1865 by Charles and Michael de Young and has been awarded six Pulitzer Prizes for journalistic excellence.
