President’s third Cabinet meeting taking place as tensions rise over Usha Vance’s upcoming visit to Greenland
President Donald Trump denied any knowledge of an incident in which senior officials in his administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, reportedly discussed a highly sensitive operation aimed at targeting Houthi positions in Yemen in a group chat that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic.
When asked about the security breach, the president attacked the publication as “going out of business.”
The story broke as Trump held his third known cabinet meeting amid legal challenges over immigration, looming new tariffs, and rising tensions over the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Elon Musk was in attendance what was described beforehand as a “follow-up on the last DOGE meeting” in early March, in which the president limited the billionaire tycoon’s authority amid a reported backlash against cuts to federal agencies.
Elsewhere, Attorney General Pam Bondi once again demanded that Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett apologize for comments criticizing Elon Musk, given the recent attacks against Tesla vehicles and dealerships.

SCOTUS declines Trump ally’s challenge to landmark press freedoms
The Supreme Court will not take up a case from a billionaire real estate developer who called on the court to overturn a landmark ruling that has protected journalists from libel lawsuits for decades.
Donald Trump-supporting Republican megadonor Steve Wynn urged the court to revisit the precedent established by 1964’s New York Times v Sullivan, which determined that public figures must prove “actual malice” from a news organization’s reporting to successfully sue them for defamation.

Attorney general accuses Jasmine Crockett of fomenting 'insurrection' against Tesla
Attorney General Pam Bondi called on Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to apologize for recent comments calling for Elon Musk to be “taken down,” claiming the comments are driving violence and “insurrection.”
“She needs to unequivocally denounce the violence,” Bondi said during an interview Monday night on Fox News’s Hannity. “She must apologize immediately, not only to all Texans, but to our country, to the American shareholders of Tesla, because she is promoting violence.”
The comments came as Teslas and facilities tied to the EV brand have faced violence and threats, including in Texas.
Last week, Crockett, a Democrat, said she hoped to see Musk “taken down,” though said moments later she meant that figuratively and asserted that “everything that I am promoting is non-violent.”

Trump’s cabinet meetings show just how powerful Elon Musk has become
Richard Hall writes:
It’s not unusual for Donald Trump’s meetings to conclude with spontaneous bursts of applause from his underlings. It is unusual for that applause to be directed at anyone but Trump himself.
In front of the gathered press after a cabinet meeting on Monday, it was Elon Musk on the receiving end of the sycophancy. It came after a lengthy tribute from Trump himself, who singled out the “senior advisor” and DOGE figurehead for praise.
