WASHINGTON ―Elon Muskreached out and talked privately toPresident Donald Trumpby phone before the billionaire entrepreneur and former White House adviserexpressed regretpublicly for his harsh personal attacks on the president. Reuters confirmed the June 10 evening phone call, citing a White House source with knowledge of the matter,after The New York Timesfirst reported the exchange. It marked the first time the Tesla and SpaceX CEO and Trump have spoken since their alliance shattered during an epic feud last week. Hours after talking to Trump, Musk apologized for inflammatory social media posts he directed at Trump when the two men went back and forth last weekin their combative war of words. "I regret some of my posts about President@realDonaldTrumplast week. They went too far," Musksaid in a 3:04 a.m., June 11 poston X, without specifying which posts he was sorry about. More:Elon Musk says some of his posts about Trump 'went too far' The White House would not confirm or deny Musk's call to Trump, which came as Musk has taken steps to restore his strained relationship with Trump. Musk this month left his White House roleleading the Department of Government Efficiency, which spent the first four-plus months of Trump's second term working to drastically slash government programs and gut the federal workforce. Trump hosted a friendly send-off for Musk before the two men later turned against each other. Over the weekend, Musk deleted his most salacious X post about Trump ‒ an accusation that Trump's name is mentioned in classified files related to the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Musk also deleted a post he made during the feud endorsing Trump's impeachment. At the same time, Musk has enthusiastically applaudedTrump's deploymentof National Guard troops in Los Angeles to squelch protests that erupted over the administration's ICE raids.

Vance and Wiles urged Musk to end the fighting. Musk has since tamped down his loud criticism ofTrump's tax and policy megabill, which the president has dubbed his "big, beautiful bill." Musk's relentless attacks on the legislation ‒ which the Tesla and SpaceX CEO called a "disgusting abomination" ‒ became the main catalyst behind the fight between Trump and Musk that unfolded last week. Trump has also softened his tone with Musk. "I was disappointed in him. But it is what it is," Trump said in apodcast hosted by New York Post columnist Miranda Devinereleased June 11. "Things like that happen. I don't blame him for anything." Contributing: Reuters Reach Joey Garrison on X @joeygarrison.

David Hogg won't try to keep his DNC role amid dispute over Democratic primariesNew Foto - David Hogg won't try to keep his DNC role amid dispute over Democratic primaries

David Hoggsaid Wednesday he will not fight to hold onto his leadership role in theDemocratic National Committeeafter igniting a firestorm over hispush to targetlong-serving Democrats in safe congressional seats. Hogg announced his retreat hours after the DNC removed him and another officer, Pennsylvania state lawmaker Malcolm Kenyatta, from their vice chair roles, saying the February elections they won did not follow the party's rules. Hogg said he will not run in the redo elections to be held over the weekend. With dejected Democrats looking for a path back to relevance after a disastrous 2024 election, Hogg said earlier this year that he plans to raise millions of dollars through a political action committee unaffiliated with the DNC called Leaders We Deserve to support young progressives against party stalwarts. He says the party needs a shake-up to bring in leaders who will more aggressively confrontTrumpand connect with younger voters and offer an inspiring new vision for a party voters are rejecting. The push rankled many Democrats, who said DNC officers should be focused on defeating Republicans, not sowing division among Democrats. Hogg on Wednesday decried "a serious lack of vision from Democratic leaders, too many of them asleep at the wheel," noting three Democratic House members have died this year after being reelected in November, leaving the party shorthanded in Washington. The culture on Capitol Hill rewards seniority and protects complacency, he said in a statement announcing his decision to walk away from his DNC role. "If there is anything activism or history teaches us it's that comfortable people, especially comfortable people with power, do not change," Hogg said. "In this moment of crisis, comfort is not an option." In April, DNC Chair Ken Martinproposed bylaw changesto require party officers to remain neutral in all Democratic primaries. Party neutrality is crucial to maintaining the confidence of voters, he argued, pointing to thebitter feudthat emerged after supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign believed he was stymied by party insiders putting theirthumb on the scalein favor of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who won the nomination but went on to lose the general election to Donald Trump. Hogg rose to prominence as agun-control advocateafter surviving the2018 school shootingin Parkland, Florida. ___

Action! Jets using helmet-mounted cameras to help Justin Fields and the other QBs improveNew Foto - Action! Jets using helmet-mounted cameras to help Justin Fields and the other QBs improve

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — There's a new addition tothe New York Jets' huddles this offseason. And it's not just the quarterback. The team is using video camerasattached to the top of the helmetsof Justin Fields and fellow QBs Tyrod Taylor, Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook throughout organized team activities and the Jets' three-day minicamp this week. The purpose is to record every aspect of the play, from the quarterback getting the play, taking the snap, going through his reads and finishing. Then, the players and coaches can closely review the footage — and make director's cuts to the plays and the playbook. "Yeah, it's kind of cool," Fields said Wednesday. "It's my first time ever doing it, but it's definitely cool just basically kind of hearing the play call again and kind of just going through, making sure you're just doing everything within the process of the play. So yeah, I like the GoPro a lot." Using technology to measure progress is far from a new concept in the NFL, with several teams incorporating cameras, GPS systems and virtual reality in training, something the Jets did several years ago. Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has used a helmet-mounted video camera and Minnesota also used them on its QBs last season. Jets coach Aaron Glenn was with Detroit when the Lions used GoPros and he and his staff, including offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand and quarterbacks coach Charles London, thought it might be useful with a new set of signal callers in New York. "We said, let's give it a shot in rookie minicamp and see what it looks like, and then we loved it and we just said, let's just do it," Engstrand said. "Everybody's doing it the whole time and it's been phenomenal for those guys. It gives direct feedback. Shoot, the O-line coach is in there watching the tape with his O-line, you know what I mean? "Because you can hear everything — you can hear the calls. It's been really beneficial for us." One of the knocks on Fields during his first four NFL seasons has been that he sometimes holds onto the football too long, leading to sacks and interceptions. The GoPros can be used as a tool to help offset and improve that shortcoming while allowing Fields and the rest of the quarterbacks to understand what they're seeing and hearing — and how it's translating on the field. "Instead of trying to guess, 'Where did your eyes start?' we'll go back and watch it," London said. "You can see where his eyes started and you can see how he went in his progression." It also helps the wide receivers, running backs, tight ends and offensive line get more familiar with the quarterback's cadence while watching the recorded video and audio. And everyone can hear every on-field comment, too, leading to some laughs. "They only turn it on when you're actually on the field," Fields said before grinning. "But, I mean, some funny things have definitely been said and they've definitely been picked up, for sure." That might take some getting used to for some players, but Engstrand said all the quarterbacks were open to the idea. "We didn't have to convince them of anything because they look at it and they go, 'This is a way for me to improve,' and that's what they're all here to do," Engstrand said. "They're all here to find a way to get better and help contribute to the team and get us some more wins on the board. So, there was no convincing needed there." Fields, a first-round draft pick in Chicago in 2021 who spent last season in Pittsburgh, has previously spoken aboutusing his past experiences to help improveon and off the field. He's heading into this season as the Jets' starting quarterback and plans to gather some of his offensive teammates for throwing sessions during the break before training camp next month. "I kind of had a feeling when I got here guys were looking for a leader to step up on offense," Fields said. "So, I was glad to receive that role and, of course, pushing the guys each and every day to be our best and play up to our standard." And Fields has been doing exactly that — and his work on the film has gotten rave reviews. "The biggest takeaway I would say is that this guy is just a workaholic," Engstrand said. "He comes in early, he's here late and he's trying to digest everything and download all the information and do things the right way. He's trying to do things that we're asking and I think he's really put the next foot forward every day, just trying to stack days, and it's been really good." ___ AP NFL:https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Newsom speech taking on Trump encourages Democrats looking for a leaderNew Foto - Newsom speech taking on Trump encourages Democrats looking for a leader

California Gov. Gavin Newsom won praise on Wednesday for his speech Tuesday night seen by a national audience, something many Democrats saw as a shot across the bow to PresidentDonald Trumpthat they can fight Trump -- and one that sparked new talk of Newsom as the party's standard-bearer in 2028. "The rule of law has increasingly given way to the rule of Don," he said, blasting Trump for sending the military to quell protests in Los Angeles. "The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It's time for all of us to stand up," Newsom said in his eight-minute highly produced remarks, flanked by the California and U.S. flags. Newsom's message to Californians -- and Americans listening -- was politically sobering, arguing that "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. The moment we've feared has arrived." "What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty. Your silence. To be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him," he urged what might have been millions of viewers watching on cable news channels. MORE: Protests live updates: At least 5 criminal cases related to LA protests, DA says His rhetoric directly calling out Trump comes as Democrats are hungry for a leader to unite them as they try to rebuild from 2024 and other party losses. "We want somebody to fight, and so he's been fighting, and it's been glorious to watch," RL Miller, an environmental activist and Democratic National Committee superdelegate, told ABC News. Miller thinks Democrats have spent too much time "navel-gazing" since the November election, wasting time and resources rather than looking forward. "Newsom is going to be vaulting back into that top tier of presidential candidates with this," she said. His speech was just the latest in Newsom's verbal combat with the Trump administration. Earlier in the week, he challenged Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, after he suggested that anyone who blocked the administration's immigration crackdown should be apprehended, even Newsom, a comment he later walked back but Trump endorsed. "Come after me, arrest me. Let's just get this over with, tough guy," NewsomtoldNBC News. "That's the energy we need in this moment," Democratic National Committee spokesperson Hannah Muldaviansaidof Newsom during the party's new daily YouTube show. Other national Democrats echoed that praise. In a joint news conference Wednesday morning, top party brass, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threw their support behind Newsom's new war with Trump. "All I add is President Trump is trying to intimidate Gavin Newsom," Schumer, D-N.Y., said. "He has shown he's not going to be intimidated, and we're all for that, all for him and proud that he is refusing to be intimidated by Donald Trump." Newsom's PAC, Campaign for Democracy, sent out fundraising texts asking supporters to donate to help Newsom "continue to fight back against the attacks and threats from the Trump administration." Rob Stutzman, a Republican strategist who worked with former California GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said Newsom was asserting authentic leadership for Democrats who have been "leaderless all year" and likely quite eager to see such a high-profile official "fighting back" to Trump. "There's resistance that often seems contrived, but these circumstances have given him an essential, authentic resistance footing," said Stutzman. Still, it remains unclear if Newsom can win on immigration, one of Trump's central campaign issues and a topconcernof many Americans. As a whole, Democrats have struggled to offer a singular message and response to Trump's actions. And the White House is continuously highlighting the unrest in California as a prime example of what is says is Newsom's poor record. Trumpblastedthe governor on his social media platform Monday, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have "failed their citizens." She said Newsom "owns" the images of violent protests. Newsom, who is term-limited and has not ruled out a 2028 presidential bid, isn't the only Democratic governor pitching themselves as tough on Trump. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz recently traveled to South Carolina to recap their record to voters, though both are adamant they are not running for the White House this time around. Even still, Newsom seems to rise above the pack. In fact, some operatives in Trump's orbit see Newsom transforming into the Democratic Party's long-sought leader. Former Trump political adviser Bannon told the New York Times that Newsom's address was "a kickoff to his 2028 campaign."

14-year-old D.C. football star hires agent to navigate NIL dealsNew Foto - 14-year-old D.C. football star hires agent to navigate NIL deals

A football player who just finished eighth grade in D.C. already rakes in name, image and likeness money andhas an agent to help him navigate sponsorship dealsat just 14 years old. Kaden Coleman Bennett has had a knack for finding the end zone on the football field since he first discovered the sport, and he says he's just getting started. "I found something that I love; I found something that I wanted to do," he said. "And you know, since then I've always been playing football since I was four." His athletic abilities as a running back have already earned him verbal college offers from Syracuse and Virginia Tech. He also was invited to Bill Belichick's football camp at the University of North Carolina. "It is kind of crazy, but it's not hard to see because of my work ethic and the work that I've been put in throughout the years of me with football and school," said Coleman Bennett, who committed to DeMatha Catholic High School. A strong village helps ensure he keeps up with his practice schedule, potential business deals and his 3.5 GPA, Coleman Bennett said. He gives his mother, Brittany Coleman, a lot of credit. "I'm super proud of him," she said. "He's faced a lot of adversity, through youth sports and just different things and people coming at him and stuff like that." The U.S. men's national team has a major opportunity hosting the next World Cup. Is it ready? From NBA All-Star to Shaolin monk: Victor Wembanyama goes on a China retreat U.S. soccer team tunes out criticism from former players, Tyler Adams says His dad and stepfather also keep him grounded. "As a young boy, we always taught him — me and mom — always taught him how to be ready for this moment with these NIL deals," said his father, Bernard Bennett. "It is our responsibility to set him up and put him in the position to accomplish the goals that he wants to accomplish," said his stepdad and trainer, Quinton Brown. With interest from multiple sponsors and potential NIL deals already knocking on his door, Coleman Bennett says having a solid infrastructure is imperative. That's a key reason he already signed with a sports agent, Terrence Jackson, who is helping facilitate Coleman Bennett's first NIL deals. "There's a reason why I'm here, and it's really just to be … a place of peace. Someone that knows the ins and outs," Jackson said. Coleman Bennett's focus is on getting better in order to get to the next level academically, athletically and professionally. "Eat, sleep, grind and dedication," he said. "I just keep those four in my pocket every time." Coleman Bennett aspires to become a biological engineer once he finishes his football career.
