David Carter Hearn, 67, of Bethesda, Md., a three-time U.S. Olympian, was indicted Thursday on a felony destruction of property charge that carries up to 10 years in prison, according to the New York Times.

President Donald Trump's Justice Department has become so dysfunctional that even Senate Republicans are fed up with the situation, MS NOW justice correspondent Ken Dilanian told anchor Katy Tur on Thursday.

President Donald Trump's Justice Department is getting involved with a spat in Alaska over two candidates with the same name.

The Alaska U.S. Senate race features Dan S. Sullivan, the Republican incumbent, trying to fend off a well-funded and strong challenge from former Democratic Congresswoman Mary Peltola.

The latest economic figures for President Donald Trump's economy raised all sorts of red flags for one analyst on Thursday.

The Department of Labor reported that just 57,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy over the last three months, which is far below the 129,000 jobs that were cited in the last report. The unemployment rate also dropped to 4.2%, which is often a sign of a healthy economy, but the numbers were not comforting to David Goldman, CNN's senior business reporter.

European astronomers on Wednesday urged the US Federal Communications Commission to block a plan led by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to launch a total of 1.7 million satellites into the Earth’s orbit, warning that the use of so many extremely bright satellites—partially to support artificial intelligence data centers—would have “devastating consequences for astronomy.”

SpaceX’s Starlink telecommunications program has already rapidly increased the number of satellites orbiting the Earth, with the total now exceeding 14,000 since 2019.

An attendee at President Donald Trump's state fair event was forced to seek refuge from extreme heat by dunking herself in a baptismal pool.

The entire Washington, D.C., metropolitan region is under extreme heat warning through the July 4 weekend with heat index values expected to be up to 112 degrees, and one MAGA fan told WTTG-TV that she took unusual measures to cool off Thursday at the Great American State Fair, which was celebrating "Faith, Values and Inspiration Day."
