Beijing’s space army can blast targets around curve of Earth
China’s rapid expansion of its space military capabilities has raised concerns among US space officials, who liken the development to scenes from science fiction epics like Star Wars.
The number of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance satellites orbiting Earth has reportedly tripled, with experts worried about the potential for these assets to be used for military purposes, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
China’s growing satellite fleet, totaling around 350, is seen as a means to establish dominance in the area, potentially hindering Western forces and even facilitating actions like an invasion of Taiwan.
These satellites not only provide continuous intelligence to Chinese military leaders but also enable precise targeting of distant locations, making interference from Western powers more challenging, the Daily Star has reported.

Possible UFO over NYC baffles passenger flying out of LaGuardia
A passenger aboard a commercial flight captured video footage of a mysterious object resembling a “flying cylinder” above New York City, sparking speculation about a possible UFO sighting.
Michelle Reyes, who recorded the sighting on March 25, reached out to the FAA, expressing concern about a potential safety hazard.
Despite no acknowledgment from authorities, Thomas Wertman of the Mutual UFO Network analyzed the footage, suggesting the object’s altitude, shape, and proximity to a major flight path rule out conventional explanations like drones or aircraft.
The lack of metadata makes it challenging to determine the exact nature of the object, leaving room for further investigation, the New York Post reported.

How Scientists Are Preparing for Apophis’s Unnervingly Close Brush With Earth
In five years, the asteroid Apophis will pass by Earth at a distance closer than 20,000 miles, providing scientists with a unique opportunity for study.
Originally classified as hazardous, further observations have ruled out any immediate threat of impact, offering relief from potential catastrophic consequences.
However, the asteroid’s close proximity still presents a chance for scientific exploration.
Researchers aim to investigate how Earth’s gravitational field might affect Apophis, potentially causing changes to its orientation, composition, and surface.
Private space companies like Blue Origin and Exploration Labs have proposed missions to rendezvous with Apophis before its flyby, aiming to gather valuable data about the asteroid and similar celestial objects.
NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft is already en route to study Apophis, repurposed after its mission to Bennu, Gizmodo reported.

US to give Israel $1.2B for Iron Beam laser weapon
President Joe Biden signed a bill into law on Wednesday that allocates funding for Israel to acquire a directed energy system known as Iron Beam.
The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024 provides $26.4 billion to support Israel’s defense efforts against Iran and its proxies, as well as to reimburse U.S. military operations in response to recent attacks.
Of this amount, $1.2 billion is designated for the procurement of Iron Beam, according to the bill’s text.
This funding follows a previous request from the White House for a security assistance package after an attack by Hamas on Israel in October 2023.
Originally, $1.2 billion was earmarked for research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) of Iron Beam, Defense Scoop has reported.

Principal framed with AI-generated voice, police say
Former Pikesville High School athletic director, Dazhon Darien, was arrested by Baltimore County Police for using artificial intelligence to impersonate Principal Eric Eiswert, leading to the circulation of racist and antisemitic comments attributed to Eiswert.
Darien was apprehended at BWI Airport while attempting to board a flight to Houston, initially stopped for carrying a gun, where officials discovered a warrant for his arrest.
He was charged with disrupting school activities for creating fake audio clips in January, causing significant disruption and triggering hate-filled messages.
The recordings were allegedly made in retaliation for an investigation into Darien’s improper payments to a coach, the Baltimore Banner reported.

FCC votes to bring back Obama-era ‘net neutrality’ rules that were repealed under Trump
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to reinstate net neutrality regulations on Thursday, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over the principles that govern the internet.
The 3-2 vote, led by the FCC’s Democratic majority, overturns the previous administration’s decision to repeal net neutrality rules in 2017.
These rules, originally implemented in 2015, mandate that broadband internet providers treat all online traffic equally, prohibiting practices like prioritizing certain websites or creating internet “fast lanes” for a fee.
By restoring net neutrality, the FCC aims to ensure fair and equal access to the internet for all users, regardless of their financial resources or size, NBC News reported.

Google surges after buying back billions of dollars of its own stock
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, saw a significant rebound in its stock price after a tumultuous day for the tech sector, following its announcement of a substantial cash dividend and share buyback program.
The company declared its first quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, scheduled to be paid on June 17 to shareholders as of June 10, alongside a $70 billion share repurchase initiative.
While such financial maneuvers are known to boost stock prices by rewarding investors, they often draw criticism for prioritizing shareholder returns over investment in employees or business enhancements.
In response to the announcement, Alphabet’s stock surged by as much as 13% in after-hours trading, CNN reported.

Russia To Seize $440 Million From JPMorgan
The Kremlin-controlled VTB bank has initiated legal action against the largest US bank, JPMorgan, to retrieve funds stuck due to Washington’s sanctions.
The Russian arbitration court in St. Petersburg issued a seizure order targeting JPMorgan’s accounts and shares in its Russian subsidiaries, published in the Russian court register on Wednesday.
The dispute revolves around $439 million held by VTB in a JPMorgan account in the US, frozen under US sanctions.
VTB filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan after the latter moved the funds to an escrow account, unable to access them due to sanctions.
In response, JPMorgan filed a lawsuit in a US court to prevent asset seizure, citing its inability to compensate potential losses.
The court sided with VTB, ordering the seizure of JPMorgan’s Russian assets, Zero Hedge reported.

World’s billionaires should pay minimum 2% wealth tax, say G20 ministers
Ministers from Brazil, Germany, South Africa, and Spain have proposed a minimum 2% tax on the world’s 3,000 billionaires to generate £250 billion annually.
They argue that this tax would address poverty, inequality, and climate change, particularly in the wake of the pandemic and global conflicts.
Emphasizing the importance of tax policy in promoting equality and funding public goods, the ministers stress the need for a fair contribution from all segments of society.
The proposal, supported by France and under discussion by the G20, aims to counteract billionaires’ low effective tax rates and prevent tax evasion through international cooperation, The Guardian reported.

McConnell argues against absolute presidential immunity
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stated during an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” that he does not believe presidents should be immune from criminal prosecution while the Supreme Court heard arguments regarding former President Trump’s immunity.
McConnell deferred to the Supreme Court’s decision on whether a president is above criminal prosecution, emphasizing the necessity of some form of presidential immunity to prevent constant legal challenges.
The Supreme Court heard extensive arguments from Trump’s lawyers regarding his immunity from criminal prosecution, particularly in a case alleging his involvement in overturning the 2020 election results.
When pressed about his previous comments and vote to acquit Trump during his impeachment, McConnell reiterated his stance but deferred to the court’s forthcoming decision, The Hill reported.

Trump Trial Suddenly Erupts in Shouting
Former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial was disrupted by shouting on Thursday.
During the trial, Trump’s lawyer mentioned text messages involving Dylan Howard, former editor-in-chief of the National Inquirer, prompting an interruption from the prosecution.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan suggested redacting certain details from text messages, addressing both the defense and prosecution.
Trump’s lawyer, Emil Bove, initiated discussion about the text messages, starting with “This is a text message between Dylan Howard and,” only to be cut off by the prosecution.
Katherine Fung from Newsweek, present in the courtroom, noted that the prosecution interjected with a loud “woah” during Bove’s statement. Bove promptly apologized, stating, “Sorry, I didn’t mean that,” in response.
Trump, facing charges related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, appeared in court as the trial continued.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has accused Trump of falsifying business records to conceal information during the 2016 election, Newsweek reported.

US Supreme Court justices in Trump case lean toward some level of immunity
During Supreme Court arguments regarding Donald Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution for actions related to his 2020 election loss, conservative justices hinted at supporting some level of protection for presidents from criminal charges.
While they seemed skeptical of Trump’s claim of “absolute immunity,” they expressed concern about presidents lacking any form of immunity, particularly for less severe actions.
The eventual ruling may narrow the charges against Trump but likely won’t eliminate them entirely, the Associated Press reported.

Abducted 1-Year-Old Found Safe After Ex-Cop Dad Allegedly Killed 2 Women
A 1-year-old Washington toddler was found safe in Oregon after his father, a former police officer, allegedly kidnapped him following the fatal shooting of his ex-wife and the discovery of a deceased teenage girl in his home.
The father, Elias Huizar, took his own life during a police chase, leaving behind a trail of violence and tragedy.
The motive behind the killings remains unclear, but it appears that Huizar had a troubled relationship with the teenage girl, who was identified as his girlfriend by authorities.
Huizar had a history of domestic violence and was arrested in February for sexual assault, the Huff Post reported.

Arizona House votes to repeal controversial 1864 abortion ban
In a notable turn of events, three Republican lawmakers in the Arizona House crossed party lines to join Democrats in voting to repeal the state’s highly contentious 1864 abortion ban, which resurfaced due to a recent court ruling.
The ban, which only allowed exceptions to save the life of the pregnant woman, faced a final vote of 32-28, ultimately passing.
Democratic Representative Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, the bill’s sponsor, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, citing discussions with Republicans prior to the vote.
The bill now progresses to the state Senate for further consideration.
Representative Matt Gress, one of the three Republicans who supported the repeal, emphasized the importance of respecting and protecting women while defending new life.
However, backlash from anti-abortion groups against these Republicans who voted for repeal is already evident, ABC News reported.

Massive fire breaks out on historic Southern California pier
A significant fire erupted at an empty restaurant located at the tip of the Oceanside Pier in North County San Diego, as confirmed by the Oceanside Fire Department.
The historic wooden pier, stretching nearly 2,000 feet and dating back to 1888, serves as a prominent landmark in the coastal city of Oceanside, close to Camp Pendleton.
Authorities urged the public to avoid the area as firefighters battled the blaze, which produced visible smoke over the pier, visible from several miles away.
The fire appeared to have affected Brine Box, a nearby fish shack, although reports assured the safety of its staff.
Emergency responders, including the U.S. Coast Guard and local law enforcement agencies, worked to contain the fire from both land and air, Fox News reported.
