Michael Goodwin: The press hates Trump more than it loves the truth — and the hyperbolic fear-mongering we’ve seen is proof

Tech mogul Elon Musk suggested that President Trump should be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance after an explosive, bitter rift erupted between the two billionaires Thursday. Musk responded to a post from right-wing pundit Ian Miles Cheong, with whom the Tesla and SpaceX CEO frequently interacts on social media and agreed with his assessment that the GOP president should be ousted. “President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him,” Cheong wrote on X. Musk simply replied, “yes.” Yes https://t.co/rqRsX8B4Hg — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2025 Anti-Trump social media users mockingly embrace Musk amid feud with prez: ‘Welcome to the resistance’ The broadside came after Musk sniped that the Trump administration wasn’t releasing documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein because the president would be mentioned — and potentially implicated — in them. After the tech mogul began going nuclear on the president over his concerns regarding the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Trump had accused Musk of going “crazy” and indicated he had been “wearing thin” in the White House for some time. Elon Musk says President Trump should be impeached and replaced with Vice

Elon Musk’s estranged baby mama Ashley St. Clair made a cheeky offer to President Trump as the two teed off against each other on social media. “Hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice,” St. Clair wrote on X as Musk railed against his former buddy Thursday. St. Clair, 26, claimed to have given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child last summer and has been in a legal battle in New York to have the former DOGE honcho acknowledge his son publicly.

In a recent interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a verbal dig at the LGBTQ community in relation to Harvard University’s educational programs.

The grief-stricken mother of the three Washington girls who were allegedly killed by their homeless father said their deaths could have been prevented if police had listened to her pleas to issue an Amber Alert when they first went missing. Whitney Decker said she knew her daughters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5 — were in “substantial danger” when their father, Travis Decker, did not return home within a court-ordered deadline following his visitation on Friday night, The Seattle Times reported. “As soon as he didn’t bring those girls back at 8 o’clock, she knew something was going on,” said Whitney’s attorney, Arianna Cozart. The Decker girls were found murdered after they didn’t return home from a visit with their father. Facebook/Katie Vogel “There should be enough concern for the police to say, ‘These children are missing, they are in substantial danger,’ even though he didn’t issue an overt threat,” Cozart added. The lawyer alleges that Wenatchee police had wanted to issue the Amber Alert, but the local officers were told by the State Patrol that the case didn’t meet the requirements.

BOSTON — A Guatemalan man who was deported to Mexico despite stating that he feared being persecuted there was flown back to the United States on Wednesday after a judge ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return. Judges have directed President Trump’s administration to help return several migrants to the country because they were wrongly deported, and the man’s arrival appeared to mark the first time one of those migrants has been able to come back. US District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston on May 23 ordered the Guatemalan man’s return after the Justice Department notified him that its claim that the man had expressly stated he was not afraid of being sent to Mexico was based on erroneous information.

“King of the Hill” actor Jonathan Joss was raging through his neighborhood with a pitchfork when a neighbor he’d been feuding with for years shot him dead, residents said — as the suspect killer was allowed to walk free after posting bond. Joss, 59, was storming up and down his San Antonio street Sunday evening and screaming expletives with a pitchfork in hand when Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez – who lives just 50 yards from Joss’ property – allegedly confronted him with a loaded rifle, neighbors told KGW 8 . The two started arguing in Joss’ driveway, and before long shots rang out and the actor lay dying on the pavement. Alvarez allegedly told police “I shot him” after being arrested in the killing. He posted $200,000 bond and was released on house arrest the next night. Suspect Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez in his booking photo. He’s accused of murder.

There’s much fun to be had at an amusement park. You just have to wait in line for it. However, a woman has questioned if she was wrong to adhere to queue etiquette after a mother attempted to cut ahead of her. The recount of the ordeal comes from TikTok account lisa.divass, who is retelling her follower’s story. “It was absolutely packed and there was queues and queues for every ride,” she begins explaining.

Even while the progressive agenda is foundering nationwide, New York City Democrats are holding course, steering their ship of folly directly toward the rocky shoals of incompetence, waste, and municipal misgovernance. The latest exhibit of Progressive absurdity was on display in Manhattan Criminal Court, where Venezuelan illegal alien Nolveiro Vera Ordonez was arraigned on a host of theft-related charges. Under state bail reform laws, of course, Ordonez was slated for immediate release, but knowing that federal ICE agents were waiting to take him into custody, he asked the judge to send him to jail on a small bond. Judge Rachel Pauley agreed, assigned Ordonez $100 bail, and sparing him — so he thought — from the clutches of the federal officers seeking his arrest. Ordonez’ plan — cooked up by his city-funded activist defense counsel — was that he could post bail whenever he feels like it and exit Rikers at will. New York’s sanctuary city laws would prevent the NYPD from notifying ICE of his release, and he could be free to return to the streets, continue his career of theft and criminal mischief, and decide later on if it suits him to return to court, or not.

La Grenouille, widely acknowledged as the city’s prettiest restaurant for more than a half-century, closed last fall. But its gorgeous ghost is back at 3 E. 52nd Street , where frogs’ legs have given way to Beijing-style duck.

Luigi Mangione doesn’t think he should have to appear in court with his hands shackled together and wearing a bulletproof vest. UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged assassin has been a “model prisoner” at his Brooklyn lockup and thus should be allowed to wear “court-appropriate clothing” when he’s back in Manhattan court June 26, his lawyers say. Forcing the 27-year-old accused killer to continue appearing with his hands cuffed and sporting the Kevlar vest will “perpetuate a false narrative that Mr. Mangione is an unusual danger requiring extraordinary security measures” and “prejudice” him in the eyes of the jury, his lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo wrote in a legal filing. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state charges that carry a sentence of up to life in prison. Steven Hirsch for NY Post Mangione was characterized as a “model prisoner” in his 167 days in pre-trial detention — never being cited for misconduct, requiring no special accommodations and even qualifying for an undisclosed work detail as a member of the general population at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, according to the filing.

The three young sisters who vanished while visiting their troubled and homeless father have been found dead, police confirmed Tuesday — as they continued hunting the dad for their kidnapping and murders. The bodies of the Decker sisters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5 — were found late Monday close to their father’s truck near a campground in Wenatchee, where SWAT teams and even a Homeland Security helicopter had frantically searched the area, KIRO 7 reported. The girls’ AMBER alerts were canceled late Monday without explanation, before police confirmed the deaths Tuesday with “sincere and deep heartfelt condolences to the family.” The bodies Evelyn (from left), Paityn and Olivia Decker were discovered near a campground in Wenatchee, Washington.

On Tuesday, the charges were updated to three counts each of kidnapping

Joke’s on him? A Venezuelan migrant who made the unusual move of voluntarily asking for bail to avoid being arrested by ICE could be locked up on Rikers Island for weeks or longer — regardless of if he posts the $100. Nolveiro Vera Ordonez, 30, likely will end up in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody no matter the outcome of his petty theft case in Manhattan court. A judge’s quick decision to hold Ordonez on a federal criminal warrant will ensure he’ll be rounded up by ICE once his state case wraps up, confirmed Al Baker, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, on Thursday. The Rikers Island jail complex is shown in the Bronx borough of New York, on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. AP One immigration lawyer who spoke to The Post laughed at Ordonez’s brazen attempt to wait out ICE in jail, while noting Rikers is probably not the best place to cool his heels. “I’ll give them points for thinking out of the box,” quipped attorney Edward Cuccia, though he added, “As an immigration strategy, it’s maybe not the best.” Steve Bannon calls on Trump to deport Elon Musk: ‘Strong belief that he is an

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden’s longtime White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre , announced Wednesday she has left the Democratic Party and is writing a tell-all book about the “broken” administration she served. Jean-Pierre, 50, worked as Biden’s top spokeswoman for two years and eight months and stunned fellow White House alums by announcing her book “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” due out on Oct. 21. “Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent lightly,” Hachette Book Group said in a promotional release, which hints that the former Biden spokesperson may focus her ire on figures aside from the 46th president in her account. Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly denied Joe Biden was cognitively impaired while she was the White House spokeswoman. Getty Images “She has served two American presidents, [Barack] Obama and Biden … She takes us through the three weeks that led to Biden’s abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision,” the tease goes. “In a hard-hitting yet hopeful critique, Jean-Pierre defines what it means to be part of the growing percentage of our fractured electorate that is Independent, why

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov.

Local anti-Israel protester Tarek Bazrouk was in direct touch with Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida, federal documents allege . It’s a fascinating story, but let’s be honest: Hamas’ cheerleaders at Columbia and across the West didn’t need chat-room instructions to parrot the terrorists’ propaganda. Learning chants like “From the River to the Sea” is practically part of freshmen orientation at countless colleges. At Columbia, you can basically major in anti-Israel propaganda, though they call it “Middle Eastern Studies.” And of course a host of “activist” groups on and off campus works to “educate” in radical worldviews: National Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, US Palestinian Community Network the Palestinian Youth Movement and on and on.

New York City police unions will not endorse in the increasingly heated Democratic mayoral primary — but all signs point to incumbent Eric Adams getting the nod from the massive cop coalition come the general election, The Post has learned. The newly formed NYC Uniformed Forces Coalition 2025 met for the first time Tuesday, bringing together leaders of all the city’s police unions, as well as correction and sanitation officers and supervisors, according to sources with knowledge of the sitdown. Sources said the blue line bloc was created to bolster the unions’ influence in the mayoral race. The alliance plans to bring in mayoral candidate for screening come the summer. In 2021, Adams, a former NYPD captain, nabbed the top endorsement of the Police Benevolent Association , but failed to sweep the cop unions, with other backing Andrew Yang in the Democratic primary. But the union bigwigs, the sources added, have no plans this time around to wade into the messy Democratic primary, which is just three weeks away. Mayor Eric Adams could walk away with the full backing of police unions, something he failed to achieve in 2021. Paul Martinka Who won the first NYC Democratic mayoral primary debate?

A ninety-degree afternoon can tempt anyone to jump into a Sierra reservoir, but the water waiting below the surface is often cold enough to kill.
