Trump formally asks Congress to claw back approved spending targeted by DOGE

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday officially asked Congress to claw back $9.4 billion in already approved spending, taking funding away from programs targeted by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

It's a process known as “rescission,” which requires President Donald Trump to get approval from Congress to return money that had previously been appropriated. Trump's aides say the funding cuts target programs that promote liberal ideologies.

The request, if it passes the House and Senate, would formally enshrine many of the spending cuts and... Read More

PARIS (AP) — It's tough enough for any player to deal with Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open. When you're not at your absolute best against the defending champion, as was the case for Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals Tuesday night, there's no chance.

“I’ve felt better, you know?” said Paul, who had leg and abdominal muscle... Read More

Musk calls Trump's big tax break bill a 'disgusting abomination,' testing his influence over the GOP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk blasted President Donald Trump's“big, beautiful bill" of tax breaks and spending cuts as a “disgusting abomination" on Tuesday, testing the limits of his political influence as he targeted the centerpiece of Republicans' legislative agenda.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A man who identifies himself as a New Orleans jail escapee released videos on social media while still on the run from authorities, leading to a police raid that failed to recapture him, an Associated Press source says.

Authorities were so convinced about the authenticity of the videos that they searched a home a little over 2 miles (nearly 4 miles) from the jail late Monday where they believe the recordings were made by escapee Antoine Massey, according to a senior law enforcement official who spoke to The AP on the condition of anonymity. The official said... Read More
