Lawmakers push to raise police retirement age

Lawmakers are advancing legislation to raise the retirement age for U.S. Capitol Police officers as the department continues to deal with staffing shortages and increasing security concerns. A bill passed unanimously by the Senate would allow officers to apply to remain on the force until age 62, while separate legislation approved by the House earlier this year would raise the limit to age 65. Officials say the proposed changes could help improve recruitment and retention across the Capitol Police force.

Access preserved for abortion pill Mifepristone

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has preserved women’s access to a drug used in the most common method of abortion, rejecting lower-court restrictions while a lawsuit continues. The court’s order Thursday allows women seeking abortions to continue obtaining the drug, mifepristone, at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor. Access is likely to remain uninterrupted at least until well into next year as appeals play out in a suit filed by Louisiana, including a potential appeal to the high court. The court is dealing with its latest abortion controversy four years after its conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright.

2 Found Dead Inside Plane That Crashed Into Ohio Home

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Two people inside a small plane were found dead Thursday after it crashed into a house in Ohio and exploded into flames, the Akron Fire Department said. There were no immediate reports of injuries inside the home after the crash shortly before 4 p.m., the department said in a news release. The home and another house had to be evacuated. The Federal Aviation Administration said in an email the plane was a Piper PA-28. Video circulating on X appeared to show a large plume of thick black smoke rising above a residential neighborhood after the crash. The aircraft itself is not visible in the footage, but flames can be seen at the base of the smoke as it rises into the sky above nearby homes.

M and M Extra: Trump's Power Moves

Donald Trump just went to China — and he didn't go there to bow. He went there to flex. Here's what everybody's missing. Trump didn't show up with a bunch of stuffy State Department translators and policy wonks. No. He shows up with an entourage of American CEOs — the heavy hitters. Manufacturing. Energy. Tech. You know what that says? "China, you can deal with me… or we can take our ball and go somewhere else." That's not diplomacy. That's leverage.

Remains Recovered Of 2nd U.S. Soldier Missing During Military Exercises In Morocco

CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — The remains of the second U.S. Army soldier who went missing during military exercises in Morocco have been recovered, the Army said Wednesday, ending a multinational search operation that deployed air, naval and artificial intelligence assets. The soldier was identified as Spc. Mariyah Symone Collington of Taveres, Fla., the U.S. military Europe and Africa said in a statement. She was 19 years old. “Royal Moroccan Armed Forces transported the Soldier’s remains by a Moroccan helicopter to the morgue of Moulay El Hassan Military Hospital in Guelmim, Morocco,” the statement said. Collington served as an air and missile defense crewmember and was assigned to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, U.S. Army Europe and Africa said. Collington entered the Regular Army’s Delayed Entry Program in 2023 before beginning active-duty service in 2024. She completed Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, as a 14P air and missile defense crewmember. She reported to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, in Ansbach, Germany, in February 2025 and was promoted to specialist on May 1, 2026. Her awards and decorations include the Army Service Ribbon. The announcement came days after the military said the remains of another soldier, 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a 14A Air Defense Artillery officer, had been recovered. The two soldiers fell off a cliff during an off-duty recreational hike in Morocco. Their remains are en route to the United States. A spokesperson for U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa told The Associated Press that the circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation. The two soldiers were reported missing May 2 after participating in African Lion, an annual multinational military exercise held in Morocco. Their disappearance triggered a search operation involving more than 1,000 U.S. and Moroccan military and civilian personnel, the SETAF-AF spokesperson added. Assets deployed during the operation included a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, thermal and ISR sensors, an unmanned underwater vehicle, side-scan sonar, a Moroccan multibeam echosounder and U.S. Coast Guard drift modeling capabilities, according to the spokesperson. African Lion 26, is a U.S.-led exercise launched in April across four countries – Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana and Senegal – with more than 7,000 personnel from over 30 nations. In 2012, two U.S. Marines were killed and two others injured during a helicopter crash in Morocco’s southern city of Agadir while taking part in the exercises.

The Fraud is Out of Control

Senators Approve Withholding Their Own Pay During Gov't Shutdowns

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators have unanimously approved a resolution to withhold their pay during government shutdowns. Lawmakers said the measure approved Thursday would discourage future funding standoffs after a series of record-breaking shutdowns. The proposal requires the secretary of the Senate to hold senators’ salaries during shutdowns and release the money once funding resumes. It'll take effect the day after the Nov. 3 general election but doesn't apply to the House. Republican Sen. John Kennedy, the bill’s sponsor, says the measure ensures lawmakers share the burden faced by unpaid federal workers. Senators earn an annual salary of $174,000, but many are independently wealthy.

Small Medical Plane Crashes In New Mexico, Killing All 4 People Aboard

A small medical plane has crashed outside Ruidoso, New Mexico, killing all four people aboard. Lincoln County Manager Jason Burns says the cause of the crash Thursday morning remains unknown. The Federal Aviation Administration says the flight departed from Roswell Air Center and was headed to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. Burns says the U.S. Forest Service is working with local agencies to suppress a fire “associated” with the crash. Ruidoso sits at the base of south-central New Mexico’s Sierra Blanca range. The surrounding area is heavily forested and rural.

11 Survived Plane Crash On Life Raft Before U.S. Military Rescue

Eleven people who survived a plane crash about 50 miles off the Florida coast were on a life raft for hours and had no idea anyone was coming to save them when rescue crews from the U.S. military arrived. The plane was flying between two airports in the Bahamas when it suffered engine failure Tuesday. The pilot ditched the plane in the ocean, and everyone on board made it onto the life raft. Rescue crews from the Air Force Reserve and the U.S. Coast Guard arrived and hoisted them to safety. Air Force Reserve Maj. Elizabeth Piowaty called it “miraculous” they all survived.

Trump & Xi Focus On Business Ties At Summit

Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump have started their high-profile summit in Beijing that is expected to focus on trade but also include the Iran war, technology and Taiwan. Trump hopes to focus the talks Thursday and Friday on mechanisms to address their differences and increase China's import of American agricultural products and passenger planes. However, few breakthroughs are expected during a summit that is hoped to add stability to the often rocky relationship between the superpowers. Trump arrived in Beijing late on Wednesday and is expected to leave after midday Friday after a final private meeting with Xi.
