US President Donald Trump calls Elon Musk's America Party a RIDICULOUS idea
Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One, Trump said,
'It's always been a two-party system. Starting a third party just adds to confusion. Third parties have never worked. He can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous.'
He emphasised the Republican Party's recent legislative victories and called it a 'smooth-running machine,' contrasting it with what he described as Musk's 'train wreck' of a political venture.

I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States - The System seems not designed for them. The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running 'machine,' that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country. It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning.
People are now allowed to buy whatever they want - Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (which are doing very well), or New Technologies as they come about - No more EV Mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate - It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that - I was very surprised! Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA and, while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had never contributed to a Republican before.
Elon probably was, also. I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon's corporate life. My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!

Lawsuit filed against plan to use unclaimed funds for new Cleveland Browns stadium
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Republicans' strategy for funding a new domed stadium for the Cleveland Browns using residents' unclaimed funds violates multiple provisions of the state and federal constitutions, according to a class action lawsuit filed in county court. HT Image Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann and former state Rep. Jeffrey Crossman, both Democrats, filed the expected legal action in Franklin County Common Pleas on Monday on behalf of three named Ohio residents, as well as all other individuals whose unclaimed funds were being held by the state as of June 30, 2025. They have asked the court for an injunction stopping the plan. The lawsuit argues that taking money from the state's Unclaimed Funds Account to pay for the stadium that Haslam Sports Group is planning for suburban Brook Park, south of Cleveland, violates constitutional prohibitions against taking people's private property for government use, as well as citizens' due process rights. The city of Cleveland has fought the plan. The litigation challenges specific provisions in the state's two-year, $60 billion operating budget that diverts more than $1 billion in unclaimed funds to create an Ohio Cultural and Sports Facility Performance Grant Fund and designate $600 million for the Browns as its first grant. Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has spoken out against using unclaimed funds for such a purpose, having gone so far as to urge DeWine to veto it. However, the state's top lawyer has said he believes the plan is legally sound. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Donald Trump yet again dismisses Elon Musk's ‘America Party', says, ‘it will help us'
US President Donald Trump brushed off tech billionaire Elon Musk's new political party, suggesting it would actually boost his own campaign—just two days after dismissing the idea as 'ridiculous.' 'I think it will help us. It will probably help,' Trump said on July 7 when asked about Musk's formation of the 'America Party,' a political movement Musk says will challenge both Republicans and Democrats. 'Third parties have always been good for me. I don't know about Republicans, but for me,' added Trump. Speaking to reporters on July 7, Trump took direct aim at Musk's announcement, dismissing the concept outright. 'I think it's ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two-party system,' Trump said. 'Starting a third party just adds to confusion.' He added, 'It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked, so he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous.' Later, Trump amplified his criticism on his Truth Social platform, writing that Musk had gone 'completely off the rails.' 'I'm saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails', essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks,' Trump posted, while again defending the two-party system as the only viable political structure in the US. Musk, who owns the social media platform X, fired back with a mocking response to Trump's Truth Social comments: 'What's Truth Social?" Musk unveiled his 'America Party' on July 5, citing fierce opposition to Trump's $5 trillion tax and spending bill, which includes a major debt ceiling hike and rollbacks of climate-related incentives. 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,' Musk wrote on X. He added: 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' Although still unofficial, Musk indicated that the new party would focus on unseating GOP lawmakers who voted for Trump's sweeping fiscal package. A poll posted by Musk on July 4 showed 65% of more than 1.2 million respondents supporting the creation of a third party. 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!' Musk wrote. Trump suggested that Musk's motivation may stem from specific provisions in the spending bill. 'He's probably upset because the Bill eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time,' Trump said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is impersonated by AI in an attempt to scam foreign diplomats, a Congressman, and a Governor
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the victim of impersonation via artificial intelligence (AI). Per reporting from The Washington Post, Marco Rubio's impersonator used AI text and voice generation tools to imitate the Secretary of State's speaking and writing style in order to contact multiple foreign ministers, a Congress representative, and a state Governor. Most of this impersonation occurred via the encrypted messaging app, Signal. Signal has already been a cause of embarrassment for Donald Trump's administration due to it being the source of prior security breaches, such as a leaked group chat discussing a bombing campaign in Yemen, in which both Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were present. Mario Rubio's AI impersonator used a fake email Secretary of State Marco Rubio was impersonated by a scammer who used AI software to replicate his voice and contact government Marco Rubio's impersonator used a fake email ID called to establish contact with their targets. This fake email was used as a display name, and the scammer used AI generated voice memos to contact at least two people. The impersonator also tried to initiate text message conversations on the Signal app. The potential for AI misuse has not gone unnoticed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), which issued a warning in May about 'an ongoing malicious text and voice messaging campaign' that deliberately impersonated senior US officials in order to build a rapport with others before asking for access to their personal accounts. Concerns of AI impersonation and deepfakes are on the rise 🇺🇸 NOT MARCO RUBIO: AI SCAMMER TRICKS OFFICIALS WITH VOICE CLONESomeone used AI to mimic Marco Rubio's voice and writing, then messaged top officials on Signal pretending to be hit up 3 foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a member of Congress - leaving fake… With the increasing sophistication of AI tools and their ability to convincingly mimic human speech and writing patterns, concerns over AI impersonation and deepfakes have only begun to grow. Marco Rubio isn't the first high-level US official to be the victim of an AI impersonation, and he likely won't be the last. Former president Joe Biden was the victim of an AI impersonation during the 2024 New Hampshire primary, where automated robocalls of a deepfake impersonation of him urged residents to not go out and vote. Deepfakes have also impacted US foreign relations, with former Senator Ben Cardin revealing that he was once contacted by a deepfake of Ukranian diplomat Dmytro Kuleba and asked politically charged questions about the 2024 election.
