Elon Musk Declares War on Washington: “If It’s the Last Thing I Do”

After Congress green-lights the biggest debt hike in U.S. history, Musk threatens to torch the GOP from the outside.

Good Morning, it’s Tuesday, July 1st, 2025.

Hope you’re wide awake—because Elon Musk just lit the match that could blow up the political uniparty. After Trump’s mega-spending bill cleared another hurdle, Musk went nuclear, vowing to launch a third party, end careers in Congress, and take the fight directly to the GOP’s so-called “fiscal conservatives.” In his words? “They’ll lose their primaries if it’s the last thing I do.”

If you’re done watching spineless politicians bankrupt this country, send this issue to someone who needs to wake the hell up.

Trump’s tax deal just cracked the GOP in half—and Elon Musk is ready to burn it all down.

He’s had it with what he’s calling the “Porky Pig Party.” After Congress passed Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which jacks up the debt ceiling by five trillion dollars, Musk exploded online. He called out specific Republicans by name, accused the entire GOP of betrayal, and promised to take down every last one of them in 2026. If the bill passes final muster, Musk says he’ll launch a brand-new political party—The America Party—to break the grip of what he calls the Democrat-Republican uniparty.

This isn’t just Musk venting online. It’s a warning shot. The man who controls more digital real estate than any politician is now threatening to reshape the entire Republican primary battlefield. Reps. Chip Roy and Andy Harris were the first to get called out. Others are watching their backs.

Trump tried to cool things off in a weekend Fox interview, saying Musk just got a little upset over losing EV tax credits. But Musk isn’t letting it go. He says the bill is a betrayal, that it’s fiscally suicidal, and that anyone backing it will pay. Senator Rand Paul agrees. So did Senator Thom Tillis before announcing his retirement.

The truth is this bill has exposed a massive rift on the right. Some say it’s strategic stimulus. Others say it’s political suicide. The GOP base sees the same old swamp behavior wrapped in new packaging—and Musk just gave them a battle plan.

This fight is just getting started. The money’s in place. The message is loaded. And Musk is pulling the trigger.

Iran’s top Shiite cleric just declared a religious war against Trump and Netanyahu.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa calling the two leaders “warlords” — or moharebs — a label in Iranian law that justifies execution, crucifixion, or amputation. This is no empty gesture. It’s a religious green light for global jihad, endorsed by Tehran’s most powerful theological voice. And it comes just days after U.S.-Israeli strikes leveled Iran’s nuclear sites and wiped out key IRGC commanders.

Shirazi’s fatwa is a direct response to the 12-Day War. First, Israel flattened Iranian military and scientific targets. Then the U.S. followed up with bunker-busting strikes on Fordow and Natanz. Now Iran is turning to the one weapon it still has — religion-fueled terror.

British-Iranian analyst Niyak Ghorbani didn’t mince words: this is incitement to global terrorism, and the West better wake up. The last time a fatwa like this made headlines, it put a target on Salman Rushdie’s back for decades and triggered international bloodshed.

This isn’t political theater. It’s a signal. Iran has been humiliated militarily. Its nuclear program is in shambles. Its generals are dead. So now it’s turning to asymmetric war—through proxies, radicals, and anyone ready to kill in the name of Islam.

The clerics in Qom know exactly what they’re doing. And if we pretend this is just some old man in robes ranting into a microphone, we’re going to get blindsided. Again.

DOJ Drops the Hammer on LA for Sanctuary Law Chaos

The feds are suing Los Angeles for turning itself into a haven for lawbreakers—and the chaos is catching up fast.

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the city over its sanctuary policies, claiming they illegally block ICE and federal immigration enforcement. The suit comes after violent riots broke out over immigration raids, forcing the Trump administration to deploy the National Guard and even U.S. Marines to restore order.

Here’s why this matters:

Trump isn’t just talking tough—his DOJ is laying down legal firepower against cities that refuse to follow the law.

Los Angeles is ground zero for open-border defiance, and this lawsuit is about drawing a hard line.

The left and the media will cry federal overreach, but they won’t mention the riots, the lawlessness, or the fact that this showdown was a long time coming.

According to the DOJ, LA’s sanctuary policies “obstruct the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.” Translation: the city has been blocking ICE and stonewalling every attempt to cooperate on deportations.

That might’ve flown under Biden—but not under Trump 2.0.

This lawsuit is the first real move to take sanctuary cities to court with teeth. It’s also a message to every other city: obey the law or face the consequences. Sanctuary isn’t just a policy—it’s a liability, and it just became a federal target.

This could reshape the legal battleground over immigration across the country. LA might be the first to fall, but it won’t be the last.

“Total Ambush” in Idaho Leaves Two Firefighters Dead, One Fighting for Life

What started as a routine wildfire response turned into a calculated massacre.

Two Idaho firefighters were killed and a third seriously wounded Sunday in a sniper-style ambush near Coeur d’Alene. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley, allegedly set a brush fire to lure emergency crews before opening fire from a hidden position in the rugged terrain of Canfield Mountain.

“These firefighters did not have a chance,” said Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris. The first responders’ calls for backup were chilling: “Everybody’s shot up here … send law enforcement now.” Over 300 officers, including the FBI, descended on the scene. The suspect was later found dead with a weapon nearby.

This wasn’t a random act of violence—it was a premeditated assault on first responders. A deliberate fire. A waiting sniper. A planned execution. Roley’s motive is still unclear, but his actions show a level of planning that points to something much darker.

Idaho Governor Brad Little condemned it as a “heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters,” and rightly so. There’s no political spin here—just cold-blooded murder. And if the federal government had any real interest in domestic terror threats, this would be front-page news.

Instead, we get silence from the usual media watchdogs who would be screaming if this were anything else. Our firefighters aren’t just battling blazes—they’re walking into warzones.

And this country better start asking why.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.”

— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Thanks for reading and staying sharp. This country is being robbed blind—by politicians who lie, spend, and sell out with a smile. But people are waking up, and the backlash is building. Stay loud. Stay smart. Stay in the fight.
