Elon Musk may be the only person in the world who can criticize Donald Trump in public. For now.

Donald Trump gave Elon Musk a “key to the White House” after Musk criticized Trump’s budget bill. Now Musk has criticized the same bill with even stronger language — and Trump has yet to respond. ALLISON ROBBERT/AFP via Getty Images A pretty fundamental rule of political physics in our age: If you criticize Donald Trump, […]

It’s Not Just Poor Rains Causing Drought. The Atmosphere Is ‘Thirstier.’

Look down from a plane at farms in the Great Plains and the West and you’ll see green circles dotting the countryside, a kind of agricultural pointillism. They’re from center-pivot sprinklers. But some farmers are finding older versions of these systems, many built 10, 15 or even 20 years ago, aren’t keeping up with today’s […]

Brooklyn Beckham in new savage swipe in family feud as he snubs mum Victoria

BROOKLYN Beckham has seemingly made a new savage swipe amid a rumoured family feud as he snubbed mum Victoria.

The 26-year-old and his actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, recently sat down for a rare joint interview.

Their photoshoot with Glamour Magazine’s Germany edition reveals Brooklyn has seemingly updated his “Mama’s Boy” tattoo.

Brooklyn first got this ink back in 2017 – as a tribute to his mum Victoria.

At the time, he shared a gym selfie where the words could be seen on the left side of his chest.

However, the new images appear to show his updated tattoo of flowers covering up the poignant homage.

He also opened up to the publication about his connection with wife Nicola – whom he wed in 2022.

Brooklyn shared: “When I first saw Nicola at Coachella, I was immediately captivated – by her beauty, her warmth, her charisma.

“Even though it was only a fleeting moment, it stayed with me for a long time.”

He then added: “You have to marry your best friend, someone you feel at home with. For me, Nicola is exactly that.”

Brooklyn and Nicola first sparked rumours of a huge rift between them and Brooklyn’s parents when they snubbed all of David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.

Budding photographer Brooklyn also previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola.

With a fresh clash in full swing, experts have told The Sun how the eldest of the Beckham clan has chosen his wife over his mega-famous family.

He also took to Instagram to wish Will Peltz a happy birthday as he turned 39.

Brooklyn shared a photo of them on a night out, writing: “Happy birthday Will Peltz, love you buddy,” to which Will replied: “Ayee love you bro.”

The dig came on the day the final episode of his dad’s chat show Beckham & Friends aired.

Listen to Oasis perform together for first time in 16 YEARS as band play Cigarettes and Alcohol in top secret rehearsals

SINCE the tickets for OASIS’ reunion went on sale last year, the hottest topic amongst us fans has been what songs NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHER will perform.

And now I can exclusively reveal that the fourth and final single from their debut album Definitely Maybe, the brilliant Cigarettes And Alcohol has made the cut.

Our exclusive video of the band, which you can watch on The Sun’s website, playing the track inside the rehearsal studio in London told me everything I needed to know about the reunion so far – and I can confirm they sound incredible.

An onlooker who heard the rehearsal told me: “Oasis have never sounded better.

“They were playing Cigarettes And Alcohol and Liam’s vocals sounded really good, which is probably down to the two packets of Lockets he was sucking throughout the rehearsal.

“You could hear Noel’s lead guitar really well and he sounded so good too.

“To hear them playing live, and playing so loudly, was an incredible moment.”

Today I showed you pictures of the brothers going in to rehearse together for the first time since Oasis split back in 2009.

While Noel hopped on the tube, Liam was driven in by a car – with him joking to a fan “I’m afraid of getting mobbed, I’m really famous.”

The motormouth rocker also took the mick out of Noel’s rather glum expression and said: “He’s laughing [and] giggling telling jokes.

“Couldn’t shut him up yesterday. Time of his life.”

The brothers will kick off their tour in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on July 4, with BONEHEAD, ANDY BELL, GEM ARCHER and JOEY WARONKER.

Naturally the reunion made history, with over 10 million fans trying to get their hands on the British shows alone.

Every show, including those in the USA, South America and Australia, all sold out within minutes of going on sale.

But those not lucky enough to get a ticket will be able to get in on the action thanks to a huge concert film being put together by Peaky Blinders creator STEVEN KNIGHT.

I’m already counting down the days until the first night but watching this video has sent me over the edge.

Huge radio DJ signs up for Celebrity Bake Off alongside Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa

RADIO fans are in for a treat as one huge star from the airways has signed up for the celebrity version of The Great British Bake Off.

The Sun can exclusively reveal that the famous DJ is preparing to don an apron and try her luck in the iconic tent.

Edith Bowman is the latest star to sign up to the Channel 4 show and will be whipping up a storm alongside some big names.

Scots-born Edith, 51, will be joined in the Celebrity GBBO tent by stars including Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa.

Sources believe mum-of-two Edith, who hosts BBC3 Unwind, will do well in the tent because she’s used to “juggling” while live on air.

A TV insider said: “Edith always goes down a treat with viewers.

“She’s warm, enthusiastic and a lot of fun, and show bosses are delighted to have her on board.

“Her radio day job sees her juggling lots of different things all at once so it should stand her in good stead when she films her episode in the tent.”

News of Edith’s signing comes just days after The Sun revealed Molly-Mae Hague will be taking part in the next celebrity version of Bake Off.

The former Love Island star turned businesswoman will be one of the biggest stars taking part in the Stand Up To Cancer spin-off of the cookery contest.

Other Love Islanders who’ve been on the Bake Off spin off have included former contestant Ovie Soko and former host Laura Whitmore.

Meanwhile, another famous face who will be whipping up a storm is JoJo Siwa.

Fresh from her Celebrity Big Brother stint, the 22-year-old Dance Moms star has returned to the UK to secretly film the C4 show.

Babatunde Aleshe will also be bringing the laughs to the tent.

The 38-year-old Celebrity Gogglebox favourite has a good relationship with Channel 4 bosses and it is understood they are thrilled to sign him.

The celebrity version of Bake Off, whose participants have yet to be confirmed by C4, is being made just before filming of the ‘civilian’ version gets underway.

Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond will be returning to host, while Paul Hollywood coming back to give the celebs some serious scrutiny in the tent.

Channel 4 star Prue Leith has stepped back from all GBBO specials, with cooking expert and pal Caroline Waldegrave filling her shoes.

The Stand Up To Cancer celeb special is due to air this summer.
