SpaceX’s Starship calls off first flight attempt since explosive mishap
WASHINGTON — SpaceX is standing down from the eighth uncrewed test flight of its gargantuan Starship mega rocket.The mission was expected to lift off during an hourlong launch window that opened at 5:30 p.m. CT (6:30 p.m. ET) from SpaceX’s Starbase facilities in South Texas.But a couple of issues, including an undisclosed issue with the Super Heavy booster, cropped up during the countdown to the launch.

Donald Trump
Trump's tariffs risk economic turbulence and voter backlash
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has been threatening major tariffs on America's two largest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, for more than a month. It now appears that the day of reckoning is at hand.The risk for the president is that his sweeping tariffs, which also target China, may drive up prices for businesses and consumers in the months ahead, damaging the health of the US economy — the issue that Americans say they care about most.The economy and inflation was at the top of voter concerns last November – concerns Trump promised to address as he stormed back to the White House, partly on the back of lingering discontent about soaring prices early in the Biden presidency.Trump can comfortably boast that he has delivered many of his most striking campaign promises – including...

Hegseth orders pause in US cyber-offensive against Russia
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump's administration is pausing its offensive cyber operations against Russia, officials say, as a diplomatic push continues to end the war in Ukraine.The reasoning for the instruction has not been publicly stated, and it is not clear how long the halt might last. The defense department has declined to comment.The directive reportedly came before Trump ended up in a televised row with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday.Since returning to office, Trump has markedly softened the American position towards Moscow in eagerness to reach a deal to end the war — following Russia's full-scale invasion more than three years ago.He appeared to echo Moscow's justification for starting the war and announced plans to...

Judge halts mass firings of US federal workers 
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday found that the mass firings of probationary employees were likely unlawful, granting some temporary relief to a coalition of labor unions and organizations that have sued to stop the Trump administration’s massive trimming of the federal workforce.The ruling puts one of the most comprehensive pauses so far on the attempts of President Donald Trump’s administration to carry out mass firings across federal agencies.The case specifically grappled with the involvement and oversight of the Office of Personnel Management, led by acting director Charles Ezell, in directing agencies to cut back their workforces beginning with shorter-term, or probationary, employees.At a hearing on Thursday afternoon, US District Judge William...
