What is National Donut day and why is it celebrated?
National Donut Day, celebrated annually on the first Friday of June, was established by The Salvation Army in Chicago during the Great Depression. It was created to honor the 'Donut Lassies'—volunteers who served doughnuts to soldiers on the front lines during World War I, according to a press release from the organization.
Today, the tradition lives on as the Salvation Army uses the occasion to raise awareness about its veteran support programs. 'National Donut Day is a moment to reflect on a unique part of history and to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our nation,' said Salvation Army Commissioner Merle Heatwole. 'Their courage and commitment to service embody the heart of our mission and inspire our ongoing work in communities nationwide.'

Elon Musk to start new political party amid feud with Trump? Tech mogul drops big hint on X
The doughnut's origins trace back to early Dutch settlers in North America, who brought with them 'olykoeks,' or oily cakes—fried dough balls that didn't yet feature the familiar hole. That defining feature is credited to American sailor Hanson Gregory, who reportedly punched a hole in the center of the dough in the mid-1800s to ensure more even cooking.
Originally launched as a fundraising event 87 years ago, National Donut Day has since become a beloved fixture among America's many food-related celebrations.

Donald Trump reveals ‘true feelings' about fued with Elon Musk: ‘Nothing catches me by surprise'
US President Donald Trump revealed "his true feelings" about his public spat with tech billionaire Elon Musk in an interview with the New York Post. 'Nothing catches me by surprise. Nothing,' the president was quoted as saying when asked about the personal attacks launched at him by Musk, the former chief of the Department of Government Efficiency. Trump reportedly turned his conversation with The Post toward his polling numbers instead of directly addressing the strife with his former top ally. He said, "The numbers are through the roof, the stock market is up, billions are pouring in from tariffs, and my poll numbers are the highest they've ever been. Other than that, what can I tell you, right?" Later, Trump said while addressing reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday that he has no plans to speak with Elon Musk, signaling that the president and his former ally might not resolve their feud over a sweeping tax-cut bill anytime soon. Trump said he wasn't "thinking about" the Tesla CEO. "I hope he does well with Tesla," Trump was quoted by Reuters as saying. However, Trump said a review of Musk's extensive contracts with the federal government was in order. "We'll take look at everything," the president said. "It's a lot of money, He takes a lot of subsidy, so will take a look at that," he said. But Trump added, 'only if it's to be fair for him and for the country.' In a barrage of posts on the X social media platform since June 5, Elon Musk has criticised Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', which awaits the Senate's nod. The Bill was narrowly passed the House of Representatives earlier. Musk amped up his attacks on Trump over the tax bill after he stepped down as the head of DOGE late May this year. The Tesla CEO's 130-day mandate as a "special government employee" in the Trump administration was set to expire around May 30. Trump had then bid him farewell. He had credited Musk with 'a colossal change in the old ways of doing business in Washington" and said some of his staff would remain in the administration. Meanwhile, Musk said he expects 'to remain a friend and an adviser and certainly, if there's anything the president wants me to do, I'm at the president's service.' Things turned south for Trump and Musk after the SpaceX owner unleashed an assault on the US President's flagship spending legislation -- the 'Big Beautiful Bill'. He urged Americans to lobby Congress to "KILL the BILL." On June 5, Musk intensified his offensive, cautioning that "America is in the fast lane to debt slavery" while insisting on a comprehensive overhaul of the legislation. "A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn't massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS," Musk demanded. Musk's comments came at a pivotal moment for Trump's self-described "big, beautiful bill", which encompasses sweeping tax reductions and expanded military expenditure. The House of Representatives had approved the measure by the narrowest of margins last month, with only three Republican members dissenting against solid Democratic resistance.

'The America Party': Musk floats a new party amid feud with Trump
After garnering 80 per cent support on his X poll, Tesla CEO Elon Musk floated the idea of forming a new party called 'The America Party' amid feud with US President Donald Trump read more Amid his ongoing feud with US President Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk floated a new political party on Friday, naming it The America Party. A day before this proclamation, Musk launched a poll on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, asking whether the US needed a new political party to represent Americans properly. 'The people have spoken. A new political party is needed in America to represent the 80% in the middle! And exactly 80% of people agree. This is fate,' Musk wrote, citing numbers from his survey. He went on to share a potential name of the political group, 'The America Party'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The America Party — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 6, 2025 In recent days, Musk has outrightly rejected Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, suggesting that the United States would increase its national debt by $4 trillion as proposed in the bill. He insisted that the legislation 'undermines' all the work he did at the Department of Government Efficiency, geared towards reducing government spending. The monumental breakup In response to Musk's criticism of the bill, Trump said that the Tesla CEO was mad over slashes to electric vehicle incentives instead of other clauses in the legislation. 'Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. … He had no problem with it,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. 'All of a sudden, he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate because that's billions and billions of dollars,' he added. Meanwhile, Musk backed a call for Trump to be impeached and replaced by his vice president. In response to Musk's rants on social media, Trump publicly questioned the billionaire's motives for slamming his leadership right after leaving his role in the administration. '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. It's a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 trillion, 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!' he wrote on TruthSocial. Overall, it will be interesting to see if Musk follows up with his promise of forming a new party. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

US Supreme Court gives DOGE access to sensitive social security data
The decision allows DOGE, once led by Elon Musk, full access to personal data in the Social Security database while the case moves forward on appeal Bloomberg By Greg Stohr and Zoe Tillman The US Supreme Court gave the Department of Government Efficiency access to sensitive Social Security information, lifting restrictions a judge said were needed to protect the privacy of millions of Americans. Over three dissents, the high court on Friday granted a Trump administration request to put US District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander's order on hold. The decision lets DOGE, the office once led by Elon Musk, have full access to personally identifiable information in the Social Security Administration database while the case proceeds on appeal. 'Under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work,' the court said in a three-paragraph order, which didn't lay out the majority's reasoning. The court's three liberals — Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissented. In an opinion joined by Sotomayor, Jackson said the court was 'creating grave privacy risks for millions of Americans.' In a separate decision, the high court said a different judge went too far by requiring DOGE officials to testify and produce records to a watchdog group. The order came in a case about whether the DOGE office is covered by US public records laws. The Supreme Court liberals dissented from that decision as well. The cases are the first Supreme Court clashes involving DOGE, the office set up by President Donald Trump to weed out what he says is wasteful spending across the federal government. Sensitive Data Musk recently left his formal government position within the administration and is now publicly feuding with Trump. In the SSA case, US Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Supreme Court that 'the government cannot eliminate waste and fraud if district courts bar the very agency personnel with expertise and the designated mission of curtailing such waste and fraud from performing their jobs.' The disputed data includes Social Security numbers, addresses, birth and marriage certificates, tax and earnings records, employment history, and bank and credit card information. Hollander said two labor unions and an advocacy group for retired people were likely to succeed on their claims that unfettered access would violate the 1974 Privacy Act. 'For some 90 years, SSA has been guided by the foundational principle of an expectation of privacy with respect to its records,' the Baltimore-based judge wrote. 'This case exposes a wide fissure in the foundation.' Hollander's order allowed DOGE team members access to anonymized data only after completing the type of training and background checks required for SSA employees. She said DOGE employees could get 'discrete, particularized and non-anonymized' information if they submitted a written statement explaining why the information was needed and why anonymous data was insufficient. Hollander also ordered people affiliated with DOGE to delete data they've already acquired. The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals kept Hollander's order in place on a 9-6 vote. In her dissent, Jackson said the lower courts had crafted an order 'tailored to the needs of the moment.' She said the Supreme Court had 'truly lost its moorings' by granting the government's request without requiring it to show that it was suffering any harm. 'The 'urgency' underlying the government's stay application is the mere fact that it cannot be bothered to wait for the litigation process to play out before proceeding as it wishes,' she wrote. Democracy Forward, the legal-advocacy group that represented the challengers, said it was a 'sad day for our democracy and a scary day for millions of people.' White House spokesperson Liz Huston hailed the decision. 'The Supreme Court allowing the Trump administration to carry out commonsense efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse and modernize government information systems is a huge victory for the rule of law,' she said in an email. The case is Social Security Administration v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, 24A1063. DOGE Records The Supreme Court's action in the records case blocks a Washington federal judge's order for the administration to answer questions, produce documents and make DOGE administrator Amy Gleason available to testify at a deposition. US District Judge Christopher Cooper had authorized the group that brought the public records case, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, to gather evidence about DOGE's activities as it fights with the Justice Department over the office's legal status. The Supreme Court majority faulted Cooper for requiring the government to disclose internal DOGE recommendations and to say whether those suggestions were followed. 'Separation of powers concerns counsel judicial deference and restraint in the context of discovery regarding internal executive branch communications,' the Supreme Court said in its two-page order. Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson didn't explain their reasons for dissenting. CREW has argued that the DOGE Service should be considered an agency under the federal Freedom of Information Act, which empowers the public to see a wide range of government records. The Trump administration disagrees, arguing that DOGE plays a purely advisory role within the White House and is exempt from the law. Musk served as the public face of DOGE, but government lawyers stressed in court that Gleason is the formal head of the DOGE office. CREW's underlying public records request seeks to pry loose new information about the Tesla Inc. chief executive's role in dramatic cuts to federal spending and the workforce. The lawsuit also aims to reveal more broadly what DOGE-affiliated staff have been doing and the structure of that effort across US agencies. The case is US DOGE Service v. CREW, 24A1122.
