Space threats against the US are rising from China and Russia, and one of the government agencies that helps the Space Force protect against threats is facing major cuts, according to Politico reports.

Speaking at the Politico Security Summit, Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman told the outlet that China has created a “series of hundreds of satellites that are a sensor network that provide real-time updates, targeting quality information of our force.”

President Donald Trump's administration appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday for oral arguments about the birthright citizenship executive order.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an order that would bar citizenship to anyone born to a mother who was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.

Frank McIntosh, Deputy Chief Operating Officer of Air Traffic Organization at the Federal Aviation Administration, declined to say how many air traffic controllers had left their jobs during President Donald Trump's second term in office.

During a Thursday House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) grilled McIntosh about whether air traffic controllers had received a buyout offer from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The Qatari royal family has been trying for five years to unload one of the jumbo jets in their fleet, but they had been unable to find a buyer until they foisted the massive aircraft on president Donald Trump.

Airlines have been retiring the Boeing 747 over the last decade because they're too expensive to fly, cost more to maintain and require longer runways for landing, and the Qataris had struggled to find a buyer for one of their three remaining "flying palaces" before offering it to the U.S. president as a gift, reported Forbes.

Legal experts listened to the oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, where the justices heard the case dealing with eliminating birthright citizenship.

The Constitution guarantees that any person born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen. President Donald Trump made an executive order that would eliminate such legal protections for the children of migrants born in the U.S.

In a live stream conversation with fellow legal expert Norm Eisen, former prosecutor Joyce Vance questioned if the “fever dream” for Trump voters is over.

“I read there's a big breaking story in the Wall Street Journal, Joyce. Did you see it?” Eisen asked. “Walmart is raising its prices, and they've said publicly, we have to do it because of the Trump tariffs. So it really seems like these tariffs are hitting Americans in the wallet as well, including many who voted for Trump. What do you think?”

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett set off a firestorm among conservatives on Thursday morning after she admonished Donald Trump's solicitor general for ducking questions from colleague Justice Elana Kagan.

During the oral arguments over birthright citizenship, Kagan pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer to make the case for Trump's executive order and shot down one answer by telling the attorney, "I mean, that's a lot of words and I don't have an answer for if one thinks — and, you know, look, there are all kinds of abuses of nationwide injunctions. But I think that the question that this case presents is that if one thinks that, it's quite clear that the [executive order] is illegal, how does one get to that result?"

First Lady Casey DeSantis on Wednesday denounced the criticism about her Hope Florida charity program in her harshest terms to date, while maintaining that she remains open about a potential run next year to succeed her husband in office.

The DeSantises appeared at a Brandon church in eastern Hillsborough County to host a roundtable discussion about the virtues of Hope Florida, the social services initiative led by the First Lady that aims to help Floridians in need.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer was placed under fire from Supreme Court Justices Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan at the so-called “birthright citizenship” hearing.

“You said to us we'd have to wait until there was a final judgment,” Sotomayor said. “You're not sure you would respect the judgment of every circuit. You're not sure that you would respect even a final judgment of the Supreme Court.”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed that he tries to defeat the security protocols implemented by his own agency.

During a Thursday Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) complained to Duffy about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) facial recognition policy.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) cited a C-SPAN caller's conspiracy theory on "Chinese birth houses" as she called to end birthright citizenship granted by the U.S. Constitution.

In a Thursday post on X, Greene pointed to an independent caller on C-SPAN's Washington Journal program.
