Lincoln, Nebraska CNN  —  Sleep is hard to come by because of constant fear and uncertainty. But, she says, it is better than the alternative: “If I go back to Honduras, they will kill me.” Week three of the new Trump term is week three of G’s insomnia. Her lawyers tell her she should be OK – that the asylum process she started a year ago should protect her. But G follows the news closely, hears rumors of ICE sightings constantly and recoils at President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about people like her. “Claro, si por supuesto,” she answers when asked…

Washington CNN  —  The Trump administration is cracking down on immigration — legal and otherwise — setting the stage for potential labor shortages, weaker economic growth and higher inflation. President Donald Trump announced a flurry of immigration policies immediately after taking office in late January, many of them aimed at curbing illegal entries — a core tenet of his presidential campaign. But he’s also chipped away at legal avenues, such as shutting down the asylum-seeking process at the US-Mexico border and canceling flights for refugees who had already been vetted. “The reality is that we depend on immigrant labor in…

Firefly started as a company focused on rockets — the piece of aerospace equipment designed to haul satellites and spacecraft (such as lunar landers) to orbit. And the company has had a few hangups, with its Alpha rocket notching a couple partial failures and two successes since its first failed flight in 2021. Jason Kim, Firefly’s CEO, told CNN that learning how to build a rocket that can make it to orbit can offer some crucial know-how that informs how the company designed the propulsion system on board Blue Ghost. “We’re using the same (attitude control) thrusters that have flight…

Morgan Freeman honored his “dear friend,” Gene Hackman, at the 97th Academy Awards.”Well this week, our community lost a giant, and I lost a dear friend, Gene Hackman,” Freeman said. “I had the pleasure of working alongside Gene Hackman in two films – ‘Unforgiven and Under Suspicions.'”And, like everyone whose ever filmed a scene with him, I learned he was a generous performer and a man whose gifts elevated everyone’s work.”Freeman noted that Hackman earned two Oscars throughout his career, but “more importantly won the hearts of film lovers all over the world.”He recalled his late friend saying he didn’t…

Rome CNN  —  Pope Francis is in stable condition and does not have a fever, the Vatican said on Sunday, days after he suffered from a sudden respiratory episode in hospital where he has been battling double pneumonia. While there are currently no direct impacts to Pope Francis’ health from the respiratory episode on Friday, doctors are continuing to guard the pope’s prognosis, according to Vatican sources Sunday who said the “picture is still complex” and that the “risk of crisis” remains. The 88-year-old pontiff suffered a sudden episode of respiratory difficulty on Friday, which was complicated by vomiting, and…

CNN  —  When he steps onto the dais in the House chamber on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump will have another major platform to relay his second-term priorities. For Democrats, the moment will present a fresh test of whether they can effectively counter Trump’s prime-time programming. Democratic leadership chose a first-term senator elected in a battleground state Trump won in November to deliver the party’s official response. A Democratic senator whose name is often talked about for 2028 is among those skipping the address, predicting it will be a “MAGA pep rally.” And a protest movement organizing online has identified…

CNN  —  This week’s close call at Chicago Midway Airport between a Southwest aircraft and a private jet is the latest in a string of incidents that have many air travelers on edge. In the US alone, it follows the deadly midair collision over the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a Medevac jet crash in Philadelphia and a regional airline crash off the coast of Nome, Alaska, that killed 10 people. Recent close calls in February include a Delta flight that made an emergency landing in Atlanta with a haze-filled cabin, and Delta flight 4819 which crash…

Milliken, Colorado CNN  —  Take a ride with David Hayes around his Colorado ranch and you learn right away he is a feisty, funny guy. “I tried farming for a while,” he told a visitor. “I would rather get run over by a bison.” There is just one bison remaining on the Spomer Ranch, down from 60 or 70 a few years ago. “I’m retiring,” Hayes said. “Just about 70 and my body isn’t working too good anymore.” Trouble is the last bison’s name. And Hayes was quick to add that trouble is what he sees in Washington one month…

CNN  —  American consumers don’t need to fret about President Donald Trump’s tariffs on aluminum raising the price of their can of soda. Two weeks ago, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States that would go into effect March 12, worrying some soda drinkers that another staple will take more out of their wallet. But shortly after the executive order, beverage companies began assessing what the tariffs could mean for their industry — and the results weren’t too concerning. Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey suggested the company could move away from using aluminum…
