The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted flights at multiple airports in the Northeast on Monday, citing the accidental cutting of a fiber cable at a construction site in New Jersey. Ground stops were originally in effect at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, N.Y.; Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR); Philadelphia International Airport (PHL); and Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey, according to the FAA's National Airspace System Status page. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, " which President Trump signed into law last year " provided the FAA with $12.5 billion to modernize the national air traffic control system. Officials from the aviation agency have asked for an additional $10 billion from Congress to upgrade the air traffic control system.

President Donald Trump decided not to go ahead with the plan to launch large-scale strikes against Yemeni Houthis for now, after being cautioned by allies that it would risk opening another front in the Middle East According to the report, Trump vacillated between ordering the strikes and avoiding confrontation for the past few weeks, as Houthis made rapid advances against Saudi-backed forces, gained full control over the Bab el-Mandeb strait, and launched missile strikes on the kingdom's oil infrastructure. Moreover, Trump is alleged to have received a direct phone call from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, asking him to intervene in the conflict. However, the US leader had told his aides the day before that he did not favor strikes, but then changed his mind and instructed the Pentagon to prepare for military action. Another turn of events came on Sunday when Trump reversed his decision and called off the airstrikes at the last moment.
It took only a few frigid February days for several United States Marines trudging through Norwegian snow and ice to notice something was wrong. First, they found holes yawning in the leather of their often brand-new boots. Next, gaps opened up in the soles of the shoes, freezing water slipping in as they hiked and skied, weighed down by the packs strapped to their backs, according to a Pentagon official and U.S. military records reviewed by Newsweek. The failures occurred during pre-exercise training for Cold Response 2026, a Norwegian-led NATO exercise involving more than 25,000 personnel in the Nordic country, and more than 7,000 others in Finland. They have raised questions about the quality of military-issued footwear and about a congressional push that would further restrict the boots U.S. service members may wear to models made entirely in the United States.
