<p>&#8220;Boy Meets World&#8221; star Ben Savage formally announced on Monday a 2024 campaign to replace Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-schiff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Schiff</a> (D-CA), who is running for Senate.</p>
<p>&#8220;Together, we can do better,&#8221; Savage <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdLSsBpeLg/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=84ac18ba-377b-4a66-80af-6d9e95c861cb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post to Instagram</a>. &#8220;I am a proud Californian, union member and longtime resident of District 30 who comes from a family of unwavering service to our country and community. I firmly believe in standing up for what is right, ensuring equality and expanding opportunities for all.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m running for Congress because it’s time to restore faith in government by offering reasonable, innovative and compassionate solutions to our country’s most pressing issues,&#8221; Savage continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;And it’s time for new and passionate leaders who can help move our country forward. Leaders who want to see the government operating at maximum capacity, unhindered by political divisions and special interests.&#8221;</p>
<p>Savage <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00831578/1677064" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed paperwork</a> to run as a Democrat in California&#8217;s 30th Congressional District, which reaches from West Hollywood to Pasadena, in January. He joins several other Democrats who have entered the race, including California Assemblymember Laura Friedman, former Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer, and Maebe A. Girl, a drag queen <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/californian-runs-first-transgender-nonbinary-house-member-rcna41763" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seeking to become</a> the first transgender, &#8220;non-binary&#8221; member of Congress.</p>
<p>The candidates are jumping into the House contest as Schiff sets his focus on the Senate. In particular, he is running to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who says she is not <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dianne-feinstein-not-running-for-re-election-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seeking re-election in 2024</a> after three decades in the seat.</p>

<p>Savage, who is the younger brother of Fred Savage of &#8220;Wonder Years&#8221; fame, became a child acting star himself in the ABC sitcom &#8220;Boy Meets World,&#8221; which ran from 1993 to 2000.

‘Boy Meets World’ Star Ben Savage Announces Bid To Replace Adam Schiff In Congress

CONTINUE READING

<p>On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) outlined two actions the House will take based on findings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, led by Elon Musk.</p>
<p>The announcement followed Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-disappointed-by-one-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that the current version of President Donald Trump’s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; narrowly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-one-big-beautiful-bill-in-massive-win-for-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> by the House last week, &#8220;undermines&#8221; the DOGE initiative’s cost-cutting efforts because it risks further increasing the federal deficit, which has already surpassed $1 trillion in recent years.</p>
<p>Musk and the DOGE &#8220;team have done INCREDIBLE work exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government &#8211; from the insanity of USAID’s spending to finding over 12 million people on Social Security who were over 120 years old,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1927749395363045819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> in a post on X. &#8220;The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson said the House will take a two-pronged approach in which the lower chamber will &#8220;quickly&#8221; pass legislation to codify any cuts requested by the White House in an expected rescissions package and leverage the appropriations process to &#8220;swiftly implement&#8221; Trump&#8217;s proposed 2026 budget. &#8220;In the meantime, we have been working around the clock as we prepared for those processes,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Musk, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-significantly-cut-back-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> last month that he was &#8220;significantly&#8221; reducing the time he spends on DOGE to refocus on his companies, made his comments about the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; during an <a href="https://x.com/CBSSunday/status/1927535075144421527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> for &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221; as the Republican-controlled Senate considers the legislation. The “One Big, Beautiful Bill” aims to advance Trump’s priorities on border security, energy, and national defense. It also seeks to retain tax cuts from 2017 that are set to expire at the end of this year, raise the debt limit by trillions of dollars, and much more.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was like — disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it. And it undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,&#8221; Musk said in a clip published by CBS on Tuesday night. Also shown in the clip was &#8220;Sunday Morning&#8221; correspondent David Pogue telling Musk that when the bill came along, he thought &#8220;everything&#8221; accomplished by DOGE would get &#8220;wiped out&#8221; in the first year. It then cut to Musk, who said, &#8220;I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.&#8221;</p>

<p>DOGE&#8217;s <a href="https://doge.gov/savings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> says “estimated savings” have reached $175 billion through a combination of &#8220;asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions.&#8221; It also estimates that the amount saved per taxpayer is $1,086.96.</p>
<p>In his post on X, Johnson insisted that the House &#8220;made sure to build on DOGE’s success within the One Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; He also made reference to a post from White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller regarding DOGE and the reconciliation process by which Republicans are moving the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; through Congress.</p>
<p>&#8220;DOGE cuts are to discretionary spending. (Eg the federal bureaucracy). Under senate budget rules, you cannot cut discretionary spending (only mandatory) in a reconciliation bill. So DOGE cuts would have to be done through what is known as a rescissions package or an appropriations bill,&#8221; Miller <a href="https://x.com/StephenM/status/1927572082780520465" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;The Big Beautiful Bill is NOT an annual budget bill and does not fund the departments of government. It does not finance our agencies or federal programs. Instead, it includes the single largest welfare reform in American history. Along with the largest tax cut and reform in American history. The most aggressive energy exploration in American history. And the strongest border bill in American history. All while reducing the deficit.&#8221;</p>

<p>Miller &#8220;has made an important point about the two efforts: DOGE found savings in discretionary spending (such as funding agencies), while our One Big Beautiful Bill secured over $1.6 trillion in savings in mandatory spending (such as Medicaid),&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1927749395363045819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Both are HISTORIC and take HUGE steps toward addressing our debt and deficit.&#8221;</p>

Speaker Johnson Reveals Two Ways House Will Act On DOGE’s Findings

<p>Elon Musk says he was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; by the version of President Donald Trump’s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; that passed out of the GOP-led House last week.</p>
<p>The critique, in which Musk expressed concerns about the bill inflating the federal deficit that has blown past $1 trillion in recent years, was made during an <a href="https://x.com/CBSSunday/status/1927535075144421527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> for &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221; set to air in full over the weekend as the Republican-controlled Senate considers the legislation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was like — disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it. And it undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,&#8221; Musk said.</p>
<p>At the start of his second term, Trump tasked Musk with overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, focused on removing waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government.</p>
<p>While Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-significantly-cut-back-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> last month that he was &#8220;significantly&#8221; reducing the time he spends on DOGE to refocus on his companies, the initiative&#8217;s <a href="https://doge.gov/savings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> says “estimated savings” have reached $175 billion.

<p>Musk and Trump have been close allies since the 2024 general election cycle. While they have generally been very complementary of each other, Musk did take an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-takes-apparent-stance-against-trump-tariffs-quotes-famed-economist-on-merits-of-free-trade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apparent stance</a> against Trump&#8217;s strategy with tariffs. However, that did not create a visible rift.</p>
<p>In a cabinet meeting late last month, Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-salutes-trumps-first-100-days-could-be-the-greatest-ever" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> that a “tremendous amount” had been accomplished during Trump&#8217;s first 100 days back in office. Trump told Musk, &#8220;You’re invited to stay as long as you want.&#8221; And, in fact, Musk has been seen back in the White House since rededicating himself to Tesla and his other companies.</p>

Elon Says He Was ‘Disappointed’ By ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’

<p>Trump border czar Tom Homan taunted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday over her threatening &#8220;consequences&#8221; if her Democrat colleagues were punished for a scuffle at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.</p>
<p>During a Fox News appearance on &#8220;The Ingraham Angle,&#8221; Homan referenced Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s warning, which happened before federal prosecutors charged Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) in connection with the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;Remember, just a couple weeks ago, AOC went on social media saying if we put a finger on any of her co-workers — Congresspeople that were at our Newark facility, there would be consequences. Well, guess what? We did it. I&#8217;m waiting on the consequences,&#8221; Homan <a href="https://x.com/theblaze/status/1927518497086611616" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>

<p>In a live stream, Ocasio-Cortez defended her colleagues, including McIver, who clashed with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials during what they claim was lawful oversight of the ICE facility.</p>
<p>&#8220;If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress, it’s the Department of Homeland Security.

<p>Homan and Ocasio-Cortez have gone back and forth at each other for years.

Trump Border Czar Trolls AOC Over ICE Scuffle Charges: ‘I’m Waiting On The Consequences’

<p>President Donald Trump signaled over the weekend that he is seriously weighing tougher sanctions on Russia over its years-long war against Ukraine, a potential move backed by a bipartisan Senate supermajority eager to force Moscow’s hand, as peace negotiations falter.</p>
<p>In a Sunday exchange with reporters, Trump <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/1926772105401549062" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he is “absolutely” considering new sanctions on Russia. Hours later, he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114571369956761390" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blasted</a> Russian President Vladimir Putin on social media, calling him “CRAZY” for “needlessly killing a lot of people” with continued fighting between soldiers, as well as missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities. &#8220;I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>The rebuke stretched into Tuesday, with Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114580564427808609" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> that Putin is “playing with fire” and claiming that “really bad things” would have already struck Russia without his restraint.</p>
<p>A coalition of 81 senators, led by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), has rallied behind a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1241/text?s=1&amp;r=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> to slam Russia with fresh sanctions if Moscow refuses genuine peace talks with Ukraine or launches new attacks threatening Ukraine’s sovereignty post-agreement. The legislation also <a href="https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=3D495158-CF7D-4833-A2DB-9E5558843F1B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposes</a> a 500% tariff on goods from nations buying Russian oil, gas, uranium, or other commodities.</p>
<p>&#8220;While we yearn for peace, it is increasingly clear to us – and a supermajority of the Senate – that Putin is playing games,&#8221; Graham and Blumenthal declared in a joint <a href="https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/blumenthal-and-grahams-hard-hitting-sanctions-bill-has-over-80-cosponsors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> last week. &#8220;The United States Senate stands ready to act if these games continue.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-putin-has-gone-absolutely-crazy-risks-the-downfall-of-russia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that after a two-hour call with Putin last week, Trump declared that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine would &#8220;immediately start,&#8221; only for the Kremlin to deny any such plans. The week prior, Putin snubbed scheduled talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Turkey, prompting Trump to insist that “nothing’s going to happen until Putin and I get together.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114571369956761390" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on Truth Social over the weekend. “Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not ‘Trump’s,’ I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.&#8221;</p>

Trump Eyes Stinging Russia Sanctions. This Bipartisan Proposal Could Bring The Pain.

<p>Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) earned widespread praise from GOP and conservative figures for successfully shepherding the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; through the House last week, a legislative victory that bolsters President Donald Trump’s agenda.</p>
<p>The bill <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-one-big-beautiful-bill-in-massive-win-for-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> through a 215-214 vote, with just two Republicans breaking ranks and joining Democrats in opposing it. It comes after Johnson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-elects-mike-johnson-for-another-stint-as-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">secured</a> re-election as House Speaker on the first ballot in January and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-funding-patch-win-trump-speaker-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">helped</a> avert a government shutdown in March. Working through a thin majority, Johnson’s ability to largely unify the House GOP has solidified his reputation as an effective leader.</p>
<p>&#8220;Great job by Speaker Mike Johnson, and the House Leadership, and thank you to every Republican who voted YES on this Historic Bill!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1925548216243703820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on social media.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mike Johnson is emerging at the most successful Republican speaker since Newt Gingrich,” Daily Mail reporter Charlie Spiering <a href="https://x.com/charliespiering/status/1925546808396169537" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X. “And he&#8217;s doing it with an eight vote majority.&#8221; National Review’s Rich Lowry, in a column <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/mike-johnson-prevails-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">titled</a> &#8220;Mike Johnson Prevails Again,” opined that despite being &#8220;plucked from obscurity,&#8221; Johnson has &#8220;proven quite an adept speaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox News contributor Joe Concha <a href="https://x.com/joeconchatv/status/1925549769578954812" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X, “Mike Johnson is the MVP for Trump right now,” while Newsmax’s John Bachman <a href="https://x.com/johnfbachman/status/1925520933604761839" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “Wow… Mike Johnson does it again. Impressive.”</p>

<p>Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) <a href="https://x.com/RepAshleyHinson/status/1925517926448160991" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a>, “The DC media loves to underestimate Speaker Johnson. Proven wrong once again.” RedState’s Joe Cunningham <a href="https://redstate.com/joesquire/2025/05/22/herding-cats-moving-mountains-and-passing-the-big-beautiful-bill-n2189450" target="_blank" rel="noopener">observed</a>, “This is the closest the House GOP has come to operating like a unified governing body in years.”</p>
<p>GOP strategist Matt Whitlock <a href="https://x.com/mattdizwhitlock/status/1925524185205330327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the bill’s passage “a huge win for Speaker Johnson and House Republicans.” Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, <a href="https://x.com/GroverNorquist/status/1925657838434635846" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, &#8220;Taxpayers owe [Johnson] and [House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA)] bigly for managing a narrow Republican House Majority that was united and committed to reducing taxes on the American people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Daily Signal President and Executive Editor Robert Bluey <a href="https://x.com/robertbluey/status/1925540483025019119" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a>, &#8220;An impressive winning streak for [Johnson]. The man knows how to get the job done.&#8221; CPAC’s Mercedes Schlapp <a href="https://x.com/mercedesschlapp/status/1925525353524592734" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a>, &#8220;Speaker Johnson is one of the most effective House Speakers. An incredible accomplishment to bring together the different factions of the party to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill to support American families and protect our borders.&#8221;</p>

Speaker Johnson Attains ‘MVP’ Status For Steering ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ To Victory

<p>President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he is pushing back the deadline to raise tariffs on imports from the European Union after a conversation with its leader, who says more time is needed to hash out a &#8220;good deal.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114570775887793036" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Truth Social, Trump shared that the deadline of June 1 to raise the tariff rate from 10% to 50% — which he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-fires-off-flurry-of-trade-war-barbs-threatens-apple?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Fires+Off+Flurry+Of+Trade+War+Barbs%2C+Threatens+Apple" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated</a> on Friday — would be delayed until July 9. The president said he decided to delay the tariffs after receiving a call from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.</p>
<p>&#8220;I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so. The Commission President said that talks will begin rapidly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!&#8221;</p>
<p>Von der Leyen said she had a &#8220;good call&#8221; with Trump in a post on X.</p>
<p>&#8220;The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship,&#8221; von der Leyen <a href="https://x.com/vonderleyen/status/1926729529436913794" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively. To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just before Memorial Day weekend began, Trump declared he would impose a 50% tariff on products from the European Union, apparently moving up the deadline of the 90-day pause of his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs for the European bloc by a little more than a month.</p>
<p>“The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with,&#8221; Trump said at the time. &#8220;Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable. Our discussions with them are going nowhere!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025,&#8221; he added. &#8220;There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1926765292371198342" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, on Sunday that von der Leyen &#8220;wants to get down to serious negotiation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the United States and China <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-china-release-details-of-agreement-to-dramatically-slash-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a> to lower steep tariffs above 100% imposed on each other&#8217;s goods as they continue trade discussions. Trump administration officials have also unveiled a trade deal <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-u-s-uk-reach-historic-trade-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">framework</a> with the United Kingdom and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sorry-china-bessent-says-deal-with-massive-trade-partner-very-close" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teased</a> more deals in the making with other nations dealing with &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, including many facing the prospect of higher rates above the 10% baseline once the 90-day pause expires.</p>

Apple, like all successful companies, became successful by maximizing profits and minimizing costs. However, to achieve this, they sold their soul to America’s biggest adversary: the Chinese Communist Party. The story of how this transpired is chronicled in exceptional detail by my guest, Patrick McGee, who joins me to discuss his book “Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company” and explains whether or not he believes Trump can return manufacturing to America.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the First Amendment has been suspended in Seattle as the city allows Antifa militants to accost and assault Christians at will. Also, King Charles delivers a land acknowledgement in Canada. And Secret Service agents are suspended after getting into a fight with each other on the job. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the same thing happened last year. And all of the agents involved, in both cases, are women. What unapproved conclusions might we draw from that?
