President Donald Trump seemed to stumble when responding to a reporter's question during a press conference in Florida on Tuesday, where he had traveled for the opening of "Alligator Alcatraz," a controversial detention facility designed to accommodate migrants. When asked how long detainees are expected to remain at the detention center, the president replied, "I'm gonna spend a lot. This is my home state. I love it. I'll spend a lot of time here," sidestepping the actual question. Journalist Mike Rothschild said: "He's obviously losing his cognition and coherence in a way that's becoming impossible to cover up or work around. And the more he declines, the more his sycophants prop him up as doing 'better than ever.' It's an unsustainable situation that could easily end in chaos." read more

A SpaceX Starship rocket on Wednesday exploded at the Starbase facility in Texas during routine testing in preparation for a launch flight, according to local authorities and live stream footage. The rocket "experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase" at 11 p.m. local time, SpaceX said on social media, noting "a safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for." It's been a tempestuous ride for Elon Musk's mammoth Starship, after three flight launch attempts devolved in fiery glory and air-traffic stopping debris this year to date. Notably, the rocket model has taken off successfully in previous instances, but its vast scale " standing 120 meters (394 feet) tall when factoring in the Super Heavy booster " has raised concerns over its overall reliability and requirements for orbital refueling once in flight.
