Musk and Trump vs. Congress, drones fuel speculation, and RFK takes on Big Food.
Good Morning,
The clock is ticking on Capitol Hill as Trump and Musk rally opposition against a stopgap spending bill, warning of a potential government shutdown. Meanwhile, mystery drones along the East Coast spark panic, and RFK Jr.’s radical food industry reform plan garners surprising support.
Here’s what’s happening today:
• Trump and Musk join forces to reject a spending deal.
• FBI warns of mysterious drones near critical infrastructure.
• RFK Jr. doubles down on food safety reform—and Americans are backing him.
Let’s break it down.
POLITICS
Trump and Musk Call for Rejection of Stopgap Spending Bill, Raising Shutdown Fears
What’s Happening:
With a looming deadline to avoid a government shutdown, the House is pushing a stopgap bill to extend funding. But Trump and Musk are calling on Republicans to reject it, branding the measure as a “Band-Aid for a bullet wound.”
The Key Points:
• The proposed bill would keep funding steady for 60 days, avoiding immediate cuts but delaying any significant spending reform.
• Trump argues the bill fails to address “out-of-control” federal waste, while Musk tweeted, “Stop funding dysfunction. Time to fix this system, not perpetuate it.”
• Conservative Republicans are heeding their calls, throwing negotiations into chaos.
Why It Matters:
A shutdown could leave federal workers unpaid, disrupt key services, and rattle markets. But for Trump and Musk, the risk is worth it to force action on government waste.
The Bottom Line:
It’s a showdown between pragmatism and principle—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

NATIONAL SECURITY
FBI Issues Urgent Warning Over Mystery Drones Along East Coast
What We Know:
The FBI has issued a rare public advisory about mysterious drone activity spotted over critical infrastructure sites from New York to North Carolina. The origins and operators of these drones remain unknown.
The Concerns:
• Surveillance Threats: Officials worry drones are being used to spy on sensitive sites.
• Sabotage Risk: The proximity to power plants, airports, and communications hubs raises alarms about potential attacks.
• Foreign Influence: Speculation is rampant that these drones are operated by adversaries testing U.S. defenses.
Why It Matters:
With no clear answers from officials, the public is left to speculate—and panic. The drones could represent everything from harmless hobbyists to a serious national security breach.
The Bottom Line:
The government’s silence is as alarming as the drones themselves. Transparency is critical to maintain public trust.
