Negotiations stall ahead of shutdown deadline as Democrats slam Trump for subverting spending laws

Washington According to three people with knowledge of the discussions, President Donald Trump's attempts to unilaterally stop funding and reorganize agencies have harmed an already tense push for a bipartisan agreement, which has caused government funding negotiations to stall ahead of a crucial deadline of March 14 to avoid a shutdown. According to the three individuals, the first stage in finalizing any agreement is for congressional leaders from both parties to agree on a top dollar number to spend in the upcoming fiscal year. According to two of them, Trump's recent actions are not the main reason for the lack of progress, but they are a contributing element. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., the Senate Appropriations Committee's vice chair, told NBC News in a statement that it is very ha...

FBI agents file lawsuits alleging Justice Department ‘retribution’ over their work on Jan. 6 cases

Washington The Department of Justice is facing lawsuits from two groups of unnamed FBI agents who took part in investigations on January 6. The agents claim they were asked to complete a survey about their involvement, if any, in those investigations or the probe into Donald Trump's alleged possession of classified documents at his Florida home during his time as president. The complaint, filed in the federal district court in D.C., claims that the survey's specific goal "is to identify agents and other FBI personnel to be terminated as a form of politically motivated retribution," according to nine FBI agents.

Senate committee backs Tulsi Gabbard as next intelligence chief 

Some Republicans had questioned Gabbard sharply during her confirmation hearing last week on her views on Edward Snowden and the contentious surveillance program he assisted in exposing. The interrogation stoked conjecture on Gabbard's chances of gaining the committee's support, where Republicans hold a 9–8 majority. At the hearing, Gabbard retracted her earlier calls for Snowden's amnesty, declaring that she would not pursue clemency or a pardon for the former NSA contractor who was charged with espionage. Additionally, she stated that she saw the government's monitoring powers under section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence monitoring Act as a valuable instrument, softening her stance on the matter. Two Republican senators who had been considered as possible no votes on the committee made ...

Boeing’s Starliner losses top $2 billion after spacecraft program reports worst year yet

Following a difficult year in which the spacecraft's first astronaut trip became a nightmare for NASA, Boeing has lost over $2 billion and counting on its Starliner spaceship. According to a filing released by Boeing on Monday, the Starliner program recorded charges of $523 million for 2024, its biggest single-year loss to date. The business pointed out that because Starliner is bound by a fixed-price contract with NASA, there is a constant chance that comparable losses will need to be recorded at other times. Since NASA gave Boeing a roughly $5 billion fixed-price contract to create Starliner in 2014, the business has seen losses on the project nearly annually. Elon Musk's SpaceX, which has flown ten human flights for NASA and is relying on its Dragon capsules, is a competitor to Boeing's...
