Trump admin live updates: Trump says Musk will 'pay the consequences' if he funds Democrats

President Donald Trump is criticizing Republican Sen. Rand Paul in a social media post as the senator has publicly criticized the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" to fund much of Trump's legislative priorities. The post comes as Trump is working the phones and having meetings with senators to try to get his sweeping agenda passed by Congress.

"Rand Paul has very little understanding of the BBB, especially the tremendous GROWTH that is coming. He loves voting “NO” on everything, he thinks it’s good politics, but it’s not," Trump said in a post on his conservative social media platform Truth Social this morning.

The post comes after Paul criticized the bill during an event in Iowa last week. Paul said the cuts in the bill are "wimpy and anemic" and called for slashes to other entitlements, which Trump has made clear are a red line for him.

President Donald Trump is vowing to impose "large scale fines" on California after a transgender teen competed in a California state final competition in track and field. The move comes after Trump called California Gov. Gavin Newsom last week to threaten to withhold federal funding if the state did not comply with an executive order that Trump signed on his first day in office.

"A Biological Male competed in California Girls State Finals, WINNING BIG, despite the fact that they were warned by me not to do so," Trump wrote in a post on his conservative social media platform on Tuesday morning. "As Governor Gavin Newscum fully understands, large scale fines will be imposed!!!"

David Richardson, the acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), told staff in an all-hands meeting on Monday that he was unaware that hurricane season had started, sources familiar with the meeting told ABC News.

Hurricane season starts on June 1 and goes through November 30.

It is unclear if Richardson was joking or not, but a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson says he was.

"Despite meanspirited attempts to falsely frame a joke as policy, there is no uncertainty about what FEMA will be doing this Hurricane Season," the spokesperson said in a statement. "FEMA is laser focused on disaster response, and protecting the American people."

The meeting was held on Monday morning after Richardson had said that he'd update staff on what the plan was to tackle hurricane season. Sources in the meeting told ABC News that he is sticking with the old plan, not to get in the way of the FEMA advisory council.

The advisory council was established by President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

As Congress comes back into session this week, Trump is again emphasizing that he wants the GOP tax megabill on his desk before the Fourth of July holiday.

“With the Senate coming back to Washington today, I call on all of my Republican friends in the Senate and House to work as fast as they can to get this Bill to MY DESK before the Fourth of JULY,” Trump said in a lengthy post selling his megabill.

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.
