The Artemis II astronauts have exited the capsule onto a recovery raft, where they’re secured and lifted by helicopter to the ship’s deck before heading for a more thorough medical evaluation. It really is an amazing thing to see. 1/
Recovery crews are circling the capsule, inspecting heat shield and structure before giving the all clear. The crew will still stay inside for some time before exiting.
The recovery team reports the Artemis II crew appears to be in "Excellent shape."
From nearly 250,000 miles away to a pinpoint splashdown, watch Artemis II return home from humanity’s first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit in over 50 years.
As expected, communications have been lost as the Artemis crew makes re-entry. It's expected to last about 6 minutes.
Watch the service module separate from Integrity at 20,000 MPH as the Artemis crew is just minutes from splashing down back on Earth.
ICE moved detainees out of a Mesa facility ahead of a lawmaker visit, then it returned to being over capacity afterward.
Designed for 157 people, it has reached up to 800 between inspections, with detainees packed side by side or even on top of each other “like sardines.”
The White House says Lebanon was never part of the ceasefire agreement, but the Pakistani prime minister’s post they cited explicitly included Lebanon in the list of countries covered.
Israel says it doesn’t feel like a “ceasefire” as missiles continue to be launched toward it, and it doesn’t appear satisfied that its war objectives have been met.
Instead of confirming Trump’s claim, Iran is asserting control of the Strait, where passage would be “limited” and only if attacks stop. It’s setting the terms and framing it as Trump accepting their conditions, not the other way around.
Sirens were still sounding as Trump made his post, with an Iranian missile intercepted east of Tel Aviv just a few minutes ago.
Trump says he’s delaying strikes on Iran for “two weeks,” saying they’re “subject to” Tehran agreeing to open the Strait, essentially claiming progress before any deal has actually been reached.
Tucker Carlson and other right-wing voices are now publicly breaking with Trump over the Iran war, with some urging those around him to do whatever it takes to stop him from committing war crimes.
Gaetz’s entire post... dismantled with one sentence. 😅
Trump says the U.S. is too large and too focused on wars to handle programs like daycare, Medicaid, and Medicare.
