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

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to appear before Congress on June 10 in what will be his first public testimony since The Atlantic revealed he used the messaging app Signal to relay sensitive details about a pending military operation with others, including his personal attorney and his wife.

Hegseth, who has not held a news conference since being sworn in as Pentagon chief, is expected to appear before both the House and Senate Appropriations defense subcommittees.

Gen. John Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is also scheduled to appear, according to a Senate announcement.

The subject will be the Trump administration's upcoming 2026 budget request. But the hearing is also expected to include sharp questioning from Democrats on Hegseth's use of Signal app, which is now part of an ongoing investigation being led by the Defense Department's Inspector General Office.

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.
