Musk-Trump Feud Reignites As Billionaire Attacks Spending Bill Backers
The feud between President Donald Trump and his former ally, Elon Musk, was reignited once again on Tuesday after the world's richest person said he'll back primary challenges against GOP lawmakers voting for the president's signature spending bill, prompting Trump to retaliate by threatening to scrap government subsidies for Musk's firms. Elon Musk looks on during a news conference with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the ... More White House in Washington. AFP via Getty Images Musk attacked the spending bill in a series of post on X on Monday night and early Tuesday morning, saying: 'Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending,' and backed the mega bill 'will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.' The billionaire then tweeted, 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,' as he bashed what he described as the 'Democrat-Republican uniparty.' Musk later said that anyone who votes for the legislation after campaigning 'on the PROMISE of REDUCING SPENDING' will see their face on a poster of Pinocchio with the caption 'LIAR' followed by the text 'Voted to increase America's Debt by $5,000,000,000,000.' The X owner reshared the results of an unscientific poll he conducted on the platform last month during his public blow-up with the president and wrote 'VOX POPULI VOX DEI 80% voted for a new party.' Earlier on Monday, Musk had attacked the GOP and the spending bill, tweeting: 'It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!'

A final vote could come as soon as Tuesday even as last-minute changes have pushed the bill's price tag up by nearly $1 trillion. With markets increasingly optimistic that an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve could be around the corner, Thursday's job report is in high focus this week. Investors will be watching for signs of cooling in the labor market, which could bolster the case for a cut sooner rather than later.

Amid 51st state threats, some Winnipeggers say Canada Day feels more important this year
As the city gears up for Canada Day celebrations on Tuesday, some Winnipeggers say they're feeling more patriotic this year due to frequent annexation threats coming from leadership in the United States. Kerry LeBlanc told CBC News on Monday that he's always been proud to be Canadian, but he's been even more vocal since Donald Trump's recurring 51st state jabs. "I think as we get attacked by the U.S., we need to really bond over our unity and unify our country over our flag," said LeBlanc, who was born and raised in Winnipeg. LeBlanc was at The Forks on Monday with his friend Brad McGregor, who was visiting from China. LeBlanc said he plans to show McGregor The Leaf in Assiniboine Park and the Interlake region while on a road trip up to Gimli, Man. "This will be the first time I've ever spent Canada Day in Canada, and I'm very excited about it because people here are so patriotic and I'd like to experience some of that and join in," McGregor said. Some Winnipeggers told CBC News they like to spend the holiday relaxing with a cold drink while enjoying some time off. Keith Otto was at The Forks on Monday doing just that, having a drink with a group of friends on Monday. "I've definitely thought a lot more this year about what it means to be Canadian and I've been a lot more thankful that I am Canadian," Otto said. The ongoing tensions between Canada and the U.S. were also front of mind for younger Canadians ahead of Tuesday's holiday. "I think this year, more than ever, Canada Day is going to be super important," said Yaara Perlov. "I think Canada should really show its independence this year." While Aelil Weinberg-Bauer said he likely won't go out to any of the events planned in the city tomorrow, he thinks Canada Day celebrations are important in 2025. "I think Canada Day is very important now, especially with what we're thinking as Canadians, because we should have independence. I think it's nice to celebrate Canada and what we have and to recognize how strong we are as Canadians," Weinberg-Bauer said. Cheryl James said her family will be honouring their Indigenous culture and traditional ceremonies on Tuesday. "It's a colonial holiday. It's not something that I recognize. What we're doing is we're reclaiming our traditional practices," James said, adding she will be spending the day at home with her family. "I'm honouring our past and our history, and the strength that we have as people," she said. James said she was happy to see programming and installations at The Forks honouring National Indigenous Peoples Day. The "Many Nations, One Heartbeat" celebration began June 21 and runs through Tuesday, with 11 days of programming highlighting different treaty regions in Manitoba, with Elders sharing language and land-based teachings from their nations. Tineke Buiskool-Leeuwma, marketing and communications adviser with The Forks, says the area is expected to be packed on Tuesday as the historic site as it bridges its Indigenous Peoples Day programming with its Canada Day plans. "We're expecting a busy day. Canada Day is always a big day here at The Forks. It's been the meeting place for over 6,000 years so people tend to flock here on July 1," Buiskool-Leeuwma said. The Forks will be hosting free family-friendly events from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. CT. Buiskool-Leeuwma said there will be a skateboard demonstration, an all-day basketball tournament that will include the Winnipeg Sea Bears in the afternoon, animal exhibits with FortWhyte Alive, dancing and music performances, and a handmade market, among other activities. "People can expect entertainment all day long," Buiskool-Leeuwma said. Buiskool-Leeuwma is asking that Winnipeggers leave their cars at home if they plan to head to The Forks on Tuesday. The full program for Canada Day celebrations is available on The Forks' website.
