In Oakland, police shot a man allegedly threatening others with a handgun on 92nd Avenue. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's email ultimatum to federal workers was mostly disregarded by the White House, although Musk attempted to reaffirm its relevance. An analysis suggests that a significant percentage of canceled contracts by DOGE won't yield savings, highlighting political inefficiencies. In other news, a 21-year-old suspected drug dealer linked to fentanyl sales faced court, and Border Patrol seized a large cocaine haul. Additionally, plans for a second Fyre Festival were announced.
Oakland police shot and injured a man Monday afternoon who they say was threatening people with a handgun. The shooting happened on 92nd Avenue near G Street in East Oakland's Highland neighborhood, around 4:30 pm.
Musk posted to X Monday night suggesting the ultimatum is still on the table, which it doesn't seem to be, saying, "Subject to the discretion of the President, they will be given another chance."
Proving that this is all just a lot of political theater, a new analysis finds that 40% of the first 1,125 contracts that DOGE bragged about canceling, on its "Wall of Receipts," are going to produce zero savings for the government because the money has already been obligated or spent.
Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland is trying it again, eight years after the first disaster landed him in jail, and Fyre Festival 2 on Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico is set for May 30, with no musical acts yet announced.
