The president's crusade to pass his "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill through Congress took some flak from his former right-hand man, who said he was "disappointed" with the cost of the bill and complained that it "undermines the work the DOGE team is doing." (Musk has also criticized Trump's tariffs.) Asked about Musk's remarks on the spending bill, Trump cited politics: "I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it. … It's got a way to go."

The duck call will not go silent, however; a spinoff, "Duck Dynasty: The Revival," premieres June 1. Call it the Caitlin Clark effect − in reverse. The Indiana Fever's star guard isout for at least two weeksafter she strained her left quad in a loss to the New York Liberty, which meant she would be sidelined for at least the next four games.The WNBA is feeling the pain, too: Ticket prices have plunged since news of Clark's injury. It's especially disappointing for the Fever's road game June 7 against the Chicago Sky − the latest Clark vs. Angel Reese clash − which had been moved to the 23,000-plus-seat United Center to meet demand for tickets.− Compiled by Robert Abitbol, USA TODAY copy chief This article originally appeared on USA TODAY:Caitlin Clark's quads, Trump-Musk and 'Duck Dynasty': Week in review
