The plaintiffs argued that public money should not be used…

The USS Abraham Lincoln has returned from a long deployment that set a modern record for time at sea. The US Navy aircraft carrier spent 321 days away from its homeport in San Diego. It also completed 286 days at sea without a port visit. The deployment began in November 2025. It lasted far longer than planned due to Operation Epic Fury, the US military campaign linked to the war with Iran. The long mission placed heavy demands on sailors, aircraft crews, and support teams. When fighting began in late February, the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group played a key…

US Vice President JD Vance said Friday he would not watch a planned livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution. Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people in the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. President Donald Trump said he had approved the proposed broadcast, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the public would be able to watch it.

Hasan’s execution is scheduled for December and is expected to take place by firing squad. If the broadcast…

President Donald Trump said Russia will send more diesel fuel to global markets after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump said the move could help lower energy costs before the US midterm elections. However, market experts doubt the planned shipments will have a major effect on fuel prices.

Together, the shipments would equal about six million barrels of diesel fuel. This amount would meet US demand for about one and a half days,…
