And after a couple of years of work, the Grace Commission’s 150-plus members persuaded Congress to enact exactly zero of its recommendations. But so far, neither Musk nor Ramaswamy seem to grasp the complexities of the $6.8 trillion US budget. Roughly 60% of the federal government’s budget comprises what’s known as mandatory spending — primarily Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. There’s a way, though it’s not always legal, for the president to defy Congress and just refuse to spend money lawmakers have allocated. The DOGE bros are also on board, writing in their op-ed that they believe the Supreme Court would likely side with Trump.

An earthquake ruptured off California’s coast on Thursday morning, briefly triggering a tsunami warning for the coast of Northern California and southern Oregon. A tsunami warning was issued for the coast between from Davenport, California, to the border between Douglas and Lane counties in Oregon. The Tsunami Warning Center canceled the warning at about 11:55 a.m.Earthquakes can trigger tsunamis when they displace the seafloor, causing waves that can rush toward shore. A tsunami warning indicates that significant inundation and coastal flooding is expected, based on preliminary information about the quake’s position. The fault runs offshore along U.S. West Coast from Northern California to northern Vancouver Island.

The National Tsunami Warning Center issued a warning after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California on Thursday. Nearly 5 million people are under that warning from Davenport, California, up to Douglas/Lane Line, Oregon, the agency said. Long said the reason for that delay — between the earthquake and potential tsunami impacts — is because earthquake waves travel faster. A tsunami wave “in the open ocean tends to travel about as fast as a jet plane flies, whereas earthquake waves travel much faster,” she said. That delay means it is easier for experts to issue tsunami warnings, Long said.

He said that detectives can't say they're "100% right" about their determination but that they know she didn't have her phone after she left Los Angeles International Airport. That day, family members said, she sent messages that concerned them because of their content and a voice that didn't seem to match hers.

The sweeping pardon means Hunter Biden won’t face any punishment for criminal convictions in two separate cases, one involving gun charges, the other tax evasion. “They took a gamble that didn’t play out as they hoped,” former Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said. If he follows through, Trump may try to blunt the fallout by invoking the Biden pardon. “Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden proves President Trump's signature campaign promise to end the weaponization of our justice system needs to happen,” she said, adding: “President Trump has made that promise.

Economists broadly dislike tariffs, saying they tend to increase prices for consumers — a likelihood that many company executives are already warning of.

The tariffs would be a significant escalation of Trump’s previous proposal, which was already a major increase on more targeted tariffs enacted during Trump’s first administration and kept in place by President Joe Biden. Canada is similarly considering its own options, including possible tariffs on U.S. goods, according to The Associated Press. America’s biggest import from Canada is oil — and any increase in energy prices would likely be felt throughout the economy.
