A bitter public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk erupted on Thursday, with the Tesla billionaire agreeing to calls for Trump's impeachment while Trump suggested ending Musk's government contracts.

Musk showed some signs of softening his tone, but Trump on Friday told ABC News Musk was a "man who has lost his mind" and that he was "not particularly" interested in talking to him right now.

The spat began in part because of Musk's criticism of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a sweeping immigration and tax bill that would fund much of the president's domestic agenda.

With many Americans facing uncertainty as the legislation currently includes deep cuts to Medicaid and other entitlement programs, Trump attempted to do damage control, dismissing arguments from Democrats about the changes to the programs as misinformation.

"But there will be NO CUTS to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. In fact, they will be saved from the incompetence of the Democrats. The Democrats, who have totally lost their confidence and their way, are saying whatever comes to mind -- Anything to win!" Trump wrote.

Anna Wintour, fashion leaders met with White House about tariff impact

As Trump's tariffs hit the fashion industry, leaders from the sector paid a visit to the White House to discuss potential tariff relief with White House officials.

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, Steven Kolb (the Council of Fashion Designers of America CEO), and Stephen Lamar (American Apparel & Footwear Association CEO) met with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles last week, according to a spokesperson for AAFA.

"Anna Wintour, Steven Kolb, and Stephen Lamar went to DC on behalf of the American fashion industry, which supports ten million American jobs, and has for many years paid high tariffs compared to the rest of the economy. Their goal was to talk about balanced trade and how best to maintain those jobs in the US, and preserve American prosperity," the spokesperson said, confirming last week's meeting to ABC News.

The statement went on to link a webpage discussing how tariffs have historically burdened the fashion industry, causing companies to raise prices on goods.

Wintour was spotted around Washington last week as she met with politicians. There is long-lasting tension between Wintour and Melania Trump as the first lady was never been featured on the cover of Vogue, unlike several of her predecessors.

White House reacts to Ukraine's massive drone attacks on Russia

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked on Monday what President Donald Trump's reaction was to Ukraine's surprise drone operation over the weekend on Russian military airfields.

"The reaction is, this war needs to come to an end, and this war has been brutal from both sides," she said. "Too many people have died, and the president wants this war to end at the negotiating table, and he's made that very clear to both leaders, both publicly and privately."

Leavitt was asked about Trump's reaction to the latest talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul, Turkey, but she sidestepped, saying she would let any response come from the president.
