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

President Donald Trump is working the phones and meeting with Republican senators to get his One Big Beautiful Bill Act through the Senate.

Trump met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune at the White House Monday, according to a White House official. The meeting comes as Thune faces the Herculean task of moving this House-backed bill through the Senate as expeditiously as possible.

Thune has so far not made clear what his strategy will be for moving this package through the upper chamber. But as things currently stand, Thune can only afford to lose three of his GOP members to pass the package, and right now, he has more members than that expressing serious doubts about the bill.

Trump’s outreach over the last 24 hours seems targeted at those senators who have most vocally expressed those concerns. The conversations come as Trump continues to push Congress to deliver the package to his desk before July 4.

The president met separately with Florida Sen. Rick Scott on Monday to discuss the big beautiful bill, sources confirmed to ABC News.

Scott is among a group of Senate hardliners who want to see larger cuts to government spending in this bill. Sen. Ron Johnson, who also received a call from Trump Monday, according to the White House, has also been vocal about his concerns that the bill doesn’t go nearly far enough to slash federal spending.

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!!!"
