    Elon Musk is positioned to profit from billions in new government contracts
    WASHINGTON — Within the Trump administration’s Defense Department, Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocketry is being trumpeted as the nifty new way the Pentagon could move military cargo rapidly around the world.
    In the Commerce Department, SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service will now be fully eligible for the federal government’s $42 billion rural broadband push, after being largely shut out during the Biden era.

    ROME — Pope Francis, looking frail and with belabored breathing that made it difficult for him to speak, made his first appearance in more than six weeks Sunday, appearing briefly on the balcony of a Rome hospital to greet hundreds of people gathered in the square in front.
    “Thank you everyone,” he said in a wisp of a voice. The pope later left the hospital to briefly stop at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, which has an icon of the Virgin Mary he is devoted to, before hea

    LOS ANGELES — Despite suffering one of their worst losses of the season – and their worst since consistently starting to play at a championship-contending level over two months ago – coach JJ Redick wanted to provide his group with grace.
    But he also wanted to make sure it was understood the Lakers don’t have time to waste.

    LEXINGTON, Ky. — In a sense, both the NBA and college basketball are professional pursuits, with players getting paid. The difference: In the NBA, at least there’s some roster certainty.
    So it’s kind of discomfiting, for both questioner and respondent, but it must be asked of college players when any season ends: Are you coming back next season?

    State releasing new fire maps for Southern California. Here’s why they matter
    For the first time in at least 14 years, state officials will release updated fire maps for Southern California on Monday, March 24, showing where wildfires are most likely to occur within the next several decades.
    With the acrid memories of January’s Palisades and Eaton fires still fresh, the new maps couldn’t be more timely.
    Among other things, the maps show where fire-resistant building codes apply and where residents could be subject to annual brush inspections. Local govern

    Paul, Massie right to push back on Trump’s big spending protectionist agenda
    Under the spell of Trumpian populism, the Republican Party has increasingly become hostile to fiscal responsibility and free markets.
    The president’s signature policy, the use of tariffs, is not only a tax on American businesses and consumers but an invitation to cronyism and corruption. With President Donald Trump’s tariffs leaving open the possibility of carve-outs, it demands businesses engage with politicians to plead their case for a reprieve from arbitrary tax increases. This i

    Although the Trump administration’s rationale for imposing massive tariffs on various imported goods vary by the hour, one of its key arguments is that such tariffs would bolster U.S.-based industries. California, of course, is one of the top wine producers in the world. Although only a state, it only trails the countries of Italy, Spain and France in wine production.
    Nevertheless, the industry here is troubled by plans to impose as much as 200% taxes on wines from those and other countrie
