Why a single senator is blocking U.S. military promotions and what it means for the Pentagon

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:41:57 GMT

By Mary Clare Jalonick and Lolita C. Baldor | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville is waging an unprecedented campaign to try to change Pentagon abortion policy by holding up hundreds of military nominations and promotions, forcing less experienced leaders into top jobs and raising concerns at the Pentagon about military readiness.Senators in both parties — including Republican Leader Mitch McConnell — have pushed back on Tuberville’s blockade, but Tuberville is dug in. He says he won’t drop the holds unless majority Democrats allow a vote on the policy.For now, the fight is at a stalemate. Democrats say a vote on every nominee could tie up the Senate floor for months. And they don’t want to give in to Tuberville’s demands and encourage similar blockades of nominees in the future.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that holding up the promotion of military leaders, most of whom have dedicated their lives to protecting the country, “is one of the most ...

Djokovic also was kept from earning a 24th career major.Instead of Djokovic, a 36-year-old from Serbia, becoming the oldest male champion at Wimbledon in the Open era, Alcaraz, a 20-year-old from Spain, became the third-youngest. The age gap between the two was the widest in any men’s Slam final since 1974.So...

(CNN) — El telescopio espacial James Webb realizó otro descubrimiento asombroso: detectó un agujero negro supermasivo activo a una profundidad nunca antes registrada en el universo.El agujero negro se encuentra en CEERS 1019, una galaxia muy antigua que se formó probablemente 570 millones de años después del Big Bang, lo que la convierte en una galaxia de más de 13.000 millones de años. Los científicos se quedaron perplejos al comprobar lo pequeño que es el agujero negro central de este objeto celeste.“Este agujero negro mide unas 9 millones de masas solares”, según un comunicado de prensa de la NASA. Una masa solar es una unidad equivalente a la masa del Sol de nuestro sistema solar, que es unas 333.000 veces mayor que la Tierra.Eso es “mucho menos que otros agujeros negros que también existieron en el universo primitivo y que fueron detectados por otros telescopios”, según la NASA. “Esos colosos suelen contener más de mil millones de veces la ma...

‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ nets $80M in opening

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:41:57 GMT

NEW YORK — After a globe-trotting publicity blitz by star Tom Cruise, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” launched with a franchise-best $80 million over five days, though it came in shy of industry expectations with a $56.2 million haul over the three-day weekend, according to studio estimates.The Paramount Pictures debut was boosted by strong overseas sales of $155 million from 70 markets. But while a $235 million worldwide launch marked one of the best global openings of the year, “Dead Reckoning” couldn’t approach the high-speed velocity of last summer’s top film, “Top Gun: Maverick.”“Dead Reckoning Part One,” the seventh film in the 27-year-old series, had been forecast to better the franchise high of the previous installment, “Fallout,” which opened with $61 million domestically in 2018. Instead, it also fell short of the $57.8 million “Mission: Impossible II” debuted with in 2000.T...
