Trump on DC crime crackdown: ‘There will be no ‘Mr. Nice Guy'

President Trump signaled he was ramping up plans to address violence and crime in Washington, D.C., reiterating he would have a news conference at the White House on Monday, adding, 'There will be no 'Mr. Nice Guy.' 'I'm going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,' Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday. 'The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' he continued. Last week, the president ordered federal law enforcement officials to patrol the streets in Washington for a week. These efforts are led by the U.S. Park Police and include officers and agents from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), divisions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies, according to the White House. Trump has also previously floated a federal overhaul of the city, which would require Congressional approval. Earlier this year, he signed an executive order establishing a task force to make D.C. ' safe and beautifu l,' which is 'to ensure effective federal participation.' 'As the Federal capital city, Washington, D.C., is the only city that belongs to all Americans and that all Americans can claim as theirs. As the capital city of the greatest Nation in the history of the world, it should showcase beautiful, clean, and safe public spaces,' the order said. It also directed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to remove all homeless people from the Capital. Federalization talks intensified after two 15-year-olds were arrested last week in connection with the attempted carjacking of former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer Edward Coristine, known as ' Big Balls.' Trump called for D.C. to change its law to charge teens 14 years or older as adults, as he blamed the city's crime rates on 'youths.' 'Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has been plagued by violent crime for far too long. President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens. Starting tonight, there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C.,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. According to data from the District, crime in D.C. was down 35 percent in 2024, the lowest it's been since 2024. Trump's Sunday post was similar to a day earlier, where he claimed that D.C. 'will soon be the safest' city,

Patrick Schwarzenegger's Dating History, from Miley Cyrus to Abby Champion

Attention everyone who's been in an emotionally committed relationship with Patrick Schwarzenegger since he made this face in The White Lotus: We're late to the party. Not only is Patrick in an actual committed relationship (the man is engaged), his relationship history is stacked with public—and often messy—romances for us to go over. Let's get into it. Before you completely spiral, this was an unsubstantiated rumor. One that kicked off when Patrick and Taylor were spotted spending Fourth of July weekend together at the Kennedy's Cape Cod compound—prompting speculation from the likes of People. But as we all know, Tay went on to date Conor Kennedy—not Patrick! Patrick and AJ were linked over Halloween, but it was literally just because they went to a party together. In other words, there's no proof that they were actually dating! Patrick and Taylor met at USC and dated for a couple years in college but not much is known about their relationship since it was mostly going down pre-fame. However, if you need proof of their vibes, Us Weekly published this article in 2013: Patrick Schwarzenegger Kisses Girlfriend Tootsie Burns, Shows Off Buff Body. Miley and Patrick didn't date for long, but it was pretty dramatic. First of all, they were very public: But things took a turn when Patrick—per TMZ—"got very close with some OTHER chick in Cabo." He denied cheating in since-deleted tweets, saying "Omg. It's one of my best friends NEVER do anything against my GF..... Girls have guy friends and guys have friends that are girls..." But the damage was done, and he and Miley split a few weeks later. According to People: "They're just in two different places in their lives. He's in college and she's focused on her music and career." Patrick and Abby met back in 2015 after she moved to California to become a model. Per Us Weekly, they were first seen together in September at the Nice Guy. A classic Hollywood love story! The pair got engaged a few years later in 2023, and have been going strong since: Patrick told People in February, "When we first met, I was 21, she was 18. So you're very different people and humans when you're that age versus now I'm 31, she's 27. Over the course of the years, I just continuously fell in love with her more and more, with the kind of human that she was becoming and that the relationship was becoming."

Tesla shares plunge as investors concerned over Musk, Trump feud

Investors bought hundreds of billions of dollars of Tesla stock after Donald Trump was elected on a bet that politics were more important than profits. In three hours Thursday, they learned yet again how dangerous that gamble could be. Shares of Elon Musk's electric vehicle maker plunged more than 14 per cent in a stunning wipeout as investors dumped holdings amid a bitter war of words between the president and the world's richest man. By the end of the trading day, US$150 billion of Tesla's value had been erased, more than what it would take to buy all the shares of Starbucks and hundreds of other big publicly traded U.S. companies. In after-hours trading, Tesla shares rose 0.8 per cent. The disagreement started over the president's budget bill, then quickly turned nasty. After Musk said that Trump wouldn't haven't gotten elected without his help, Trump implied that he may turn the federal government against his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. Story continues below advertisement 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,' Trump wrote on his social messaging service Truth Social. 'I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' 1:17 Trump 'very disappointed' in Elon Musk after billionaire calls his budget bill an 'abomination' The drop on Thursday partially reversed a big runup in the eight weeks since Musk confirmed that Tesla would be testing an autonomous, driverless 'robotaxi' service in Austin, Texas, this month.

So much of its real business selling electric cars is struggling now and so it needs the promise of a new age of driverless cars to be realized— and fast. 'The whole goal of robotaxis is to have them in 20 or 25 cities next year,' said Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, one of Tesla's biggest fans, but now worried. 'If you start to heighten the regulatory environment, that could delay that path.' Story continues below advertisement He added, 'There is a fear that Trump is not going to play Mr. Nice Guy.' Trump's threat to cut government contracts seems targeted more to another of Musk's businesses, SpaceX, than his car company. The privately held rocket company has received billions of dollars for sending astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station, providing launches and doing other work for NASA. The company is currently racing to develop a mega rocket for the space agency to send astronauts to moon next year. A subsidiary of SpaceX, the satellite internet company Starlink, appears to also have benefited from Musk's once-close relationship with the president. On a trip with Trump to the Middle East last month, Musk announced that Saudi Arabia had approved Starlink for aviation and maritime use. Though its not clear how much politics has played a role, a string of other recent deals in Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and elsewhere has come as Trump has threatened tariffs and sent diplomats scrambling to please the president. One measure of SpaceX's success: A private financing round followed by a private sale of shares in recent months reportedly valued it at an US$350 billion, up from an estimated US$210 billion a year ago. 3:05 'He's flat out wrong': Musk's comments on Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' stirs ire of Republicans Now all that is possibly in danger. Tesla shares got even a bigger lift from Musk's close relationship with Trump, initially at least. Story continues below advertisement After the presidential election in November, investors rushed into the stock, adding more than US$450 billion to its value in a few weeks. The belief was that the company would see big riches as Trump eased regulatory oversight of Tesla. They also were betting that the new administration would embrace Musk's plans for millions of cars on U.S. roads without drivers behind the wheel. After hitting an all-time high on Dec. 17, the shares retreated as Musk's time as head of a government cost-cutting group led to boycotts and a hit to Tesla's reputation. They've recently popped higher again after Musk vowed to focus more on Tesla and its upcoming driverless taxi launch. Now investors aren't so sure, a worry that has translated into big paper losses in Tesla stock held by Musk personally — down US$20 billion for the day.
