MARINE ONE FACES ANOTHER RADIO COMMUNICATION PROBLEM BEFORE TRUMP’S TAKEOFF President Donald Trump’s Marine One helicopter reportedly faced another radio communication problem before taking off from the White House on Thursday. Air traffic controllers reportedly struggled to hear the helicopter for about four minutes, with other aircraft helping relay messages between Marine One and the controllers. The FAA says communication was ultimately established before the helicopter departed. ([NBC Palm Springs][1]) The incident comes weeks after a similar communication failure contributed to a close encounter between Marine One and a passenger jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Investigators are examining the earlier incident, while recent reports say communication issues had already been a concern before the close call.

US MILITARY USES LASER TO SHOOT DOWN 3 CARTEL DRONES NEAR MEXICO BORDER The US military used a high-energy laser to shoot down three suspected Mexican cartel drones near the US-Mexico border in southern Texas’ Rio Grande Valley earlier this week, US officials said. According to military officials, the drones posed a physical threat to US troops and Customs and Border Protection personnel. The operation, carried out late Tuesday and early Wednesday, used the Army’s Multipurpose High Energy Laser system. Officials say Mexican cartels are increasingly using drones to monitor law enforcement and support human-smuggling operations. The exact location of the strikes has not been disclosed, and officials have not clarified whether the drones were downed over US or Mexican territory.

Iran Sets Conditions for Reopening Strait of Hormuz Iran says it is preparing a list of conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy route where shipping has largely stalled since the regional war began. Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei says ending the war is one of Tehran’s key conditions. Iran is also demanding the lifting of what it calls a US blockade, compensation and the removal of sanctions. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman have agreed in principle on a designated shipping corridor through the strait, which previously carried around one-fifth of global oil and LNG shipments.

US Judge Blocks Pentagon’s Blacklisting of Anthropic A US federal judge has blocked the Pentagon from blacklisting AI company Anthropic, ruling that the government’s decision to designate the company a national security “supply-chain risk” was illegal and baseless. Judge Rita Lin said national security concerns cannot be used as a blank check to punish government critics. The dispute began after Anthropic refused to allow its Claude AI models to be used for mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons. The company argued that the Pentagon’s decision was retaliation for its AI safety policies and violated its constitutional rights. The ruling is a major victory for Anthropic and could have wider implications for how AI companies set safety limits when working with governments and militaries. The Pentagon and the Trump administration can appeal the decision, meaning the legal battle may not be over yet.

Judge Again Halts Trump Order Limiting Mail Voting A federal judge has again blocked President Trump’s executive order restricting mail voting, just days before states are expected to begin sending ballots for the midterm elections. The judge imposed a 14-day hold, saying states do not have enough time to redesign ballots, update election systems and train officials. The Trump administration’s rules face legal challenges from Democrats and voting rights groups, who argue that states — not the president — have authority over election procedures.
