REPORTER: Are you concerned that Republicans are gonna be swayed by Musk and his money? TRUMP: I think what’s gonna happen is DOGE is gonna look at Musk, and if DOGE looks at Musk, we’re gonna save a fortune. I don’t think he should be playing that game with me.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signaled he is willing to consider deporting Elon Musk, escalating an extraordinary public clash with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO over federal spending and government subsidies. Speaking to reporters before departing for Florida, Trump was asked directly whether he would move to deport Musk, a South African native. “We’ll have to take a look,” Trump replied. “We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon! Wouldn’t that be terrible?” The remarks mark a new peak in the renewed hostilities between Trump and Musk after months of relative calm. The confrontation reignited after Musk sharply criticized the Trump-backed “Big, Beautiful” budget bill on Monday, warning it would add a historic $5 trillion to the national debt and calling for the formation of a new political party to challenge what he labeled the “Porky Pig Party.” “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill… that we live in a one-party country,” Musk wrote on X, adding, “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.” Trump fired back Monday night on Truth Social, blasting Musk for his reliance on federal support and threatening to investigate or cut off future subsidies. “Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,” Trump wrote. “No more rocket launches, satellites, or electric car production, and our country would save a fortune.” On Tuesday, Trump doubled down, suggesting again that Musk could face further consequences if he continues his public opposition. “He’s upset that he’s losing his EV mandate, and he’s very upset about things,” Trump said. “But you know, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now. Hey, Elon can lose a lot more than that!” On Monday, Musk vowed to unseat lawmakers who support Trump’s sweeping budget bill, which he has criticized because it would increase the country’s deficit by $3.3tn. “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he wrote on his social media platform, X. A few hours later he added that if the “insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day”. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Four decapitated bodies were found hanging from a bridge in the capital of western Mexico’s Sinaloa state on Monday, part of a surge of cartel violence that killed 20 people in less than a day, authorities said. A bloody war for control between two factions of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel has turned the city of Culiacan into an epicenter of cartel violence since the conflict exploded last year between the two groups: Los Chapitos and La Mayiza. Dead bodies appear scattered across Culiacán on a daily basis, homes are riddled with bullets, businesses shutter and schools regularly close down during waves of violence. Masked young men on motorcycles watch over the main avenues of the city. On Monday, Sinaloa state prosecutors said that four bodies were found dangling from the freeway bridge leading out of the city, their heads in a nearby plastic bag. On the same highway Monday, officials said they found 16 more male victims with gunshot wounds, packed into a white van, one of whom was decapitated. Authorities said the bodies were left with a note, apparently from one of the cartel factions, though the note’s contents were not immediately disclosed. Feliciano Castro, Sinaloa government spokesperson, condemned the violent killings on Monday and said authorities needed to examine their strategy for tackling organized crime with the “magnitude” of the violence seen. “Military and police forces are working together to reestablish total peace in Sinaloa,” Castro said. Most in the western Mexico state, however, say authorities have lost control of the violence levels. A bloody power struggle erupted in September last year between two rival factions, pushing the city to a standstill. The war for territorial control was triggered by the dramatic kidnapping of the leader of one of the groups by a son of notorious capo Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán who then delivered him to U.S. authorities via a private plane. Since then, intense fighting between the heavily armed factions has become the new normal for civilians in Culiacan, a city which for years avoided the worst of Mexico’s violence in large part because the Sinaloa Cartel maintained such complete control. In southeast Mexico on Monday, a priest was shot leaving his home in Villahermosa, Tabasco. The Tabasco Diocese said in a statement that Rev. Héctor Alejandro Pérez had been on his way to visit someone who was ill when he was shot. The diocese said Pérez lost a lot of blood and had internal injuries putting him in “very serious” condition.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu confirmed on Tuesday that he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump and other senior officials in Washington next week.

The invitation from Trump “followed the great victory we achieved in ‘Operation Rising Lion’” against Iran, Netanyahu said during a Cabinet meeting. “Capitalizing on success is no less important than achieving it.”

Netanyahu said he is also scheduled to meet with Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State and acting White House National Security Advisor Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff.

“We have a few matters to finalize beforehand to reach a trade agreement, in addition to other issues,” Netanyahu said of his planned meeting with Lutnick. “There will also be meetings with congressional and Senate leaders, as well as security meetings, that I will not detail here.”

According to Israel’s Ynet news outlet, Netanyahu is expected to depart for Washington on Sunday, ahead of a meeting with Trump at the White House the next day. JNS

The Rav of the Divrei Shir shul in Bnei Brak, the esteemed posek Rav Yehuda Aryeh Dinner, addressed the Iranian missile strike on Bnei Brak in a shiur he gave and revealed the reason for the direct hit. “To add to the chessed we experienced last week,” the Rav began, “I heard yesterday that you can see how everything is precise from Hakodash Baruch Hu—every explosion, every bomb, every missile—precise, precise.” “They said that the school in Pardes Katz, on which the missile fell, I heard in the name of the Mashgiach of Tifereta, Harav Noach, HaRav HaTzaddik Rav Noah Palay shlita—that he said that the laying of concrete for that building about 40 years ago was on Shabbos.” “The casting of that building was on Shabbos—that’s it, so that’s the answer. When there is Chillul Shabbos, there is no protection; there is no protection, my friends, everything is precise.” Rav Dinner continued by saying, “My son Rav Ze’ev shlita, told me that he met an American Jew who told him that during the Gulf War, over 30 years ago, his parents really, really wanted him to return to America. “He went to HaRav Shach, who told him, ‘Stay here.’ His parents pressed him a lot, he returned to America. After the war he returned here and went to HaRav Shach and said, ‘Rebbi, I was there, I  learned Torah there the entire time.” “HaRav Shach answered him, ‘I’m not satisfied with that. I knew you would study all the time. Surely you had Torah all the time, but if you had stayed here, you would have had both Torah and kirvas Elokim. You missed out on the kirvas Elokim that we felt.” “We really felt it now, my friends; these days we felt the Kirvas Elokim. (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)

To our esteemed Gevirim and Community Leaders of Brooklyn,

I write to you with great admiration and respect, aware of the many ways in which you have supported and sustained our kehilla with generosity, leadership, and vision. Your dedication to Klal Yisroel — in Torah, chesed, and communal growth — has built institutions, supported families, and shaped the future of generations.

Recently, a remarkable initiative was launched in Lakewood: two new wedding halls, Ateres Blima and Ateres Esther, were established to directly address the crushing financial burden so many families face when marrying off children. These halls offer an elegant, all-inclusive simcha package — hall, catering, music, photography, flowers, and more — for just $13,000. The vision is not simply affordability, but a shift in expectations, a reset that prioritizes simcha, dignity, and achrayus over pressure and excess.

The results speak for themselves. Seventy-five weddings have already been booked. The halls are beautiful, efficient, and designed with the community in mind. More than that — they represent hope. They say to a struggling family: “You can make a chasunah without debt. You can celebrate without shame.”

And here is the question we must now ask:

If such a project is possible in Lakewood — and if it is being led, funded, and driven by gevirim from Brooklyn — why can’t we build the same in Brooklyn itself?

Why should Brooklyn families continue to face overwhelming simcha costs, while the very solution being praised in Lakewood remains out of reach for us here? The need is no less urgent in Brooklyn. The numbers are no less staggering. The impact would be just as powerful — and perhaps even more so, given the size and diversity of our neighborhoods.

The community respectfully urges our community leaders and donors to come together and bring this vision to life in Brooklyn. We already have the model. We already have the people. What we need now is the will.

Let us be the generation that changed the trajectory — that made weddings manageable, beautiful, and filled with real simcha. Let us act with foresight, with compassion, and with responsibility.

With heartfelt hope,

Y.R.B

Mexico and the United States said they would gradually reopen the United States border to cattle imports from Mexico in July after U.S. agriculture officials suspended them in May over fears of the northward spread of the screwworm, agriculture officials in both countries said Monday. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said via X that “key progress” had been made. She noted that more than 100 million sterile flies were being dispersed weekly and there had been no northward spread in eight weeks. The U.S. restricted Mexican cattle shipments in late November following the detection of the pest, but lifted the ban in February after protocols were put in place to evaluate the animals prior to entry into the country. But after an “unacceptable northward advancement” of the screwworm, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a statement it was suspending them again in May. Mexico Agriculture and Rural Development Secretary Julio Berdegué said he participated in a virtual meeting with Rollins Monday and that the border opening would begin July 7. Rollins and Berdegué applauded the close cooperation between both governments. The screwworm is a larva of the Cochliomyia hominivorax fly that can invade the tissues of any warm-blooded animal, including humans. The parasite enters the skin, causing serious and life-threatening damage and lesions. (AP)
