Former President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump and Elon Musk during his first post-presidency speech, targeting their efforts to destabilize Social Security. He asked "Who in the hell do they think they are?" and accused them of creating "needless pain and sleepless nights". Without mentioning Trump or Musk directly, he quoted Martin O'Malley saying that they want to "wreck" Social Security so they can "rob it" to deliver huge tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations.

Migrants who used the Biden-era CBP One app to enter the US have been ordered to leave "immediately." Over 900,000 people were allowed into the country since January 2023 under a presidential authority called parole, which authorized them to work in the US for up to two years. The Department of Homeland Security issued termination notices to beneficiaries and urged them to voluntarily self-deport using the same app, now renamed CBP Home. Those who refuse to leave will be charged $998 per day until they depart, according to DHS.

President Biden tripped over a sandbag and fell to his knees onstage after congratulating U.S. Air Force Academy graduates during their commencement ceremony on Thursday. He was quickly helped up by officials and continued participating in the event. The White House confirmed he was fine, with Biden joking later that he “got sandbagged.”

President Donald Trump has announced that the US will withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. The move reverses the Biden administration's decision to rejoin the pact and makes the US the fourth country to opt out of the agreement. Trump also declared a "national energy emergency" and vowed to boost oil and gas production, while canceling efforts to promote clean energy and electric vehicles. The US will officially be out of the Paris agreement in 2025.
