Stephen Miller Melts Down as Musk Exits With His Wife and an Attack on Trump
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller spammed social media Tuesday night in a raging display of his unwavering support for President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' as it faced increasing backlash from MAGA figures, including Elon Musk. The Trump loyalist went in hard to sell the 1,038-page document that passed the House by a single vote on May 22. Miller's comments came hours after former DOGE chief Musk attacked the mega-spending bill as the legislation moves to the Senate, labeling it a 'disgusting abomination.' The world's richest man also threatened to 'fire all politicians who betrayed the American people' at next year's midterm elections. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore,' Musk wrote on X. Miller responded by calling Trump's bill 'the most essential piece of legislation... in generations' and 'the most MAGA bill ever passed by the House.' Miller pointedly described those on Trump's side of the argument as the president's 'closest allies.' It is unclear how much personal animus there is between Miller and Musk after the tech billionaire walked out on the administration, taking Miller's wife Katie with him. Katie Miller was hired by DOGE under the same 'special government employee' status as Musk, meaning that she was also time-limited to 130 days in office, but that has done little to quell unsubstantiated internet speculation about Musk and the Millers. She will now reportedly work for Musk full-time. Miller began his own barrage of posts on X, first by claiming Trump's bill would fund increased deportation. '[The bill] will increase by orders of magnitude the scope, scale, and speed of removing illegal and criminal aliens from the United States,' Miller wrote. 'For that reason alone, it's the most essential piece of legislation currently under consideration in the entire Western World, in generations.' 'Now or never,' the 39-year-old wrote in another post. Trump's bill is estimated to increase the budget deficit by approximately $600 billion in the next fiscal year. Miller tried to explain his take on the bill by breaking it down into three sections: 'The most significant border security and deportation effort' in history, a full 'extension and expansion' of Trump's tax cuts and finally cutting almost $2 trillion through 'the largest welcome reform in history.' 'Item 1 alone (border security + deportation),' Miller wrote, 'makes this the most important legislation for the conservative project in the history of the nation.' Critics of Trump's bill fear it would lead to millions of Americans losing health coverage by slashing Medicaid and introducing budget cuts to food assistance programs, with spending on border security and military programs increased. Some Republicans have also expressed fears about the rising cost of the bill, despite a deadline of July 4 to get the measure passed and signed into law. Miller's flurry of posts included him bragging that the bill 'was designed by President Trump and his allies in Congress to deliver on his core campaign pledges to voters and that is exactly what it does. This is the most MAGA bill ever passed by the House, and it's not even close.' 'The bill was designed by President Trump, his loyal aides, and his closest allies in Congress to deliver fully and enthusiastically on the explicit promises he made the American People,' he wrote in another post. Miller also called out GOP Kentucky senator Rand Paul, who told Fox Business his biggest objection to Trump's bill was the addition of '$5 trillion to the debt ceiling' over the next decade. 'Why doesn't Rand ever fight this hard to deport illegals?' Miller asked in a post. Miller clarified Trump's bill would not fund the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or the Environmental Protection Agency. Experts have, however, warned the bill could ruin student loan borrowers and universities and will have an environmental impact through increased mining and logging of public lands to raise revenue. 'We could have never dreamed of a bill like this in 2017,' Miller posted on X. Miller's loyalty comes as other Republican senators have joined Musk in questioning the contents of Trump's bill. At least four are demanding changes, according to Reuters. They include Sen. Mike Lee and Sen. Ron Johnson. While Republicans have a 53-47 seat majority in the Senate, they cannot afford to lose support. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed she had not read a part of the bulky bill that would prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence systems for a decade. 'Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of (the bill) that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years,' Greene posted on X. 'I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.' California Republican Jack Kimble was also critical of the bill on Tuesday. He posted on X: 'Full transparency, I did not know that the big beautiful bill was a real budget and would be used to determine spending levels. It seems to me that this is something that should have been made known to those in the House of Representative[s].' When a follower told him 'you're supposed to read the bills before you vote on them' Kimble replied 'Yeah, my bad.' Ron Johnson also agreed with Musk's 'disgusting abomination' comments on the bill. Speaking to NewsNation's The Hill on Tuesday, Johnson said, 'He's telling the truth... that's all I'm doing, too.' 'The trajectory of deficits is up, and no matter what the 'big, beautiful bill' does, it does not address that long-term prospect, it does not bend the deficit curve down. It supports it going up.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump was already aware of 'where Elon Musk stood on this bill' and that he would not be changing it. 'This is one, big, beautiful bill,' Leavitt said on Tuesday. 'And he's sticking to it.'

Elon Musk Unfollows Stephen Miller on X as He Takes His Wife
After days of unsubtle back-and-forth on X, Musk has now unfollowed Stephen Miller. The change in status occurred some time before 1 p.m. on Thursday, when X account Big Tech Alert publicized its discovery. The news comes one week after Musk reportedly poached Miller's wife, Katie Miller, who left DOGE to work for him full time. However, as of 3:55 p.m. on Thursday, Miller still follows Musk, meaning the sudden unfollowing is one-sided—at least for now. The unfollowing may be one-sided, but it's hardly unexpected. Miller has spent most of his time doing everything he could to thwart the former DOGE administrator, staunchly defending Trump's Big Beautiful Bill after Musk called it an 'abomination.' Without naming Musk explicitly, Miller took to X on Wednesday to correct his criticisms of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' after Musk told reporters he felt the bill undermined DOGE's work. Miller also called the bill 'the most essential piece of legislation... in generations.' Of course, there's also a personal undercurrent to their professional tension thanks to Katie Miller's career change. According to CNN, Katie is working in a communications capacity, helping Musk to arrange 'interviews unrelated to his time in government.' She's also on X, where she recently changed her header image to a photo of a SpaceX rocket, and responded with a heart emoji to a post asking, 'Who here loves Stephen Miller?' However, Musk's reasoning behind unfollowing Miller may not be personal. He also recently unfollowed conservative pundit Charlie Kirk, per Big Tech Alert. Rather than an escalation of his feud with Miller, Musk's recent following choices may be part of the Tesla CEO's sudden push to burn his bridges with the White House since departing DOGE on May 30. In the past two days, Musk has unleashed near-constant tweets condemning the Big Beautiful Bill and later, the president himself. Just minutes before followers noticed he'd unfollowed Miller, Musk began firing off an ongoing series of posts in response to Trump's comment that he was 'very disappointed' in him for opposing the Big Beautiful Bill. In one post, Musk wrote, 'Without me, Trump never would have won the election.' In a second, he added, 'Such ingratitude.' Musk has only gotten more extreme with his post-breakup comments in the hours since unfollowing Miller. Most recently, he took to X to accuse the president of being 'in the Epstein files,' concluding his rant with, 'Have a nice day, DJT!'

Czechia backs new Russia sanctions amid Slovakia's recent moves
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala has stated that his country will continue supporting Ukraine and push for the adoption of the 18th package of tough sanctions against Russia amid recent moves by Slovakia. Source: Radio Prague International, as reported by European Pravda Details: Fiala said the unity of the European Union is critically important and described the recent decision by the Slovak parliament to oblige its ministers not to approve further sanctions against Russia as harmful to European security. Quote: "With all due respect, I do not consider the Slovak Parliament's decision helpful for Europe's security. Czechia believes that opposing Russia's aggressive policy is essential. EU unity, especially against Russian aggression, is crucial." More details: The Czech prime minister reiterated that his country would continue supporting Ukraine and working towards the adoption of the 18th package of strict anti-Russian sanctions. Background: On 4 June, Slovak President Peter Pellegrini rejected a petition calling for a referendum on lifting sanctions against Russia. The petition, launched by the far-right Slovak Revival Movement, gathered 400,000 signatures and was submitted in early May. The following day, the Slovak parliament passed a resolution urging members of the government to refrain from supporting further sanctions or trade restrictions on Russia in international organisations. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico later said he would support holding such a referendum. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
