Dawn Dispatch

June 6th, 2025

Today is the 81st anniversary of D-Day, and I hope we are each able to take a few moments of our day to remember the great sacrifice that many took to keep our country safe. There are so few living soldiers left who experienced that fateful day. In fact, I think I need to spend some time today finding out just how many.

If you have a family member who served on June 6th, 1944, or at any time during the Second World War…give them a call today. Listen to their stories (if they're willing to share them.) Thank them.

Let’s jump into the June 6th, 2025, installment of the Dawn Dispatch…


Trump-Musk Alliance Implodes in Spectacular Public Feud

The relationship between President Trump and Elon Musk exploded into a bitter public war Thursday, with Trump threatening to cut government contracts with Musk's companies while Musk responded by suggesting Trump should be impeached. The feud began when Trump criticized Musk's attacks on the Republican "one big, beautiful bill," saying he was "very disappointed" in the tech billionaire. Musk fired back, claiming Trump would have lost the 2024 election without his support, and escalated further by alleging Trump was connected to Jeffrey Epstein files. Tesla stock plummeted 14%, wiping out about $150 billion in market value as the world's richest man and most powerful man traded increasingly personal attacks.

Speaker Mike Johnson hit back at Elon Musk's attacks on President Trump's domestic policy bill, defending it as including "the LARGEST mandatory spending cut to the federal government in history (by almost 400%), the LARGEST tax cut in history, the LARGEST investment in border security in a GENERATION". The bill faces growing Republican opposition in the Senate, with some GOP lawmakers expressing concern that the Trump-Musk feud could imperil its passage.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off the ongoing feud, describing Musk's online attacks as "an unfortunate episode".
