Trump admin pulls Jared Isaacman's nomination for NASA administrator, replacement to be announced 'soon'
The Trump administration recently pulled Jared Isaacman's nomination to be NASA administrator, alluding that he was not in "complete alignment" with the president's agenda. "The Administrator of NASA will help lead humanity into space and execute President [Donald] Trump's bold mission of planting the American flag on the planet Mars," White House Assistant Press Secretary Liz Huston told Fox News Digital on Saturday. Huston added it is "essential" that the next leader of NASA "is in complete alignment" with President Trump's "America First" agenda. A replacement will be announced directly by Trump "soon," according to the White House. Isaacman is the billionaire founder and CEO of Shift4 payments, a credit card payment processing company. He reportedly dropped out of high school as a teen, using a $10,000 check from his grandfather to form his tech business. Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., who introduced Isaacman to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, described him as "a successful innovator, entrepreneur, pilot, and astronaut." "Jared believes in NASA's core mission," Sheehy told Fox. "He has the experience and skillset to ensure we continue to lead in the greatest frontier ever known, and I look forward to adding NASA administrator to his already remarkable resume." "For nearly 70 years, the United States has been at the forefront of space exploration," he continued. "President Trump knows how critical it is to reinvigorate NASA so we can once again lead the world to new heights, and that's why he chose exactly the right man for the job: Jared Isaacman." The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Luxor Governor Receives US Senator Tim Sheehy to Discuss Strengthening Cooperation
Taarek Refaat Abdel Motaleb Amara, Governor of Luxor received Senator Tim Sheehy, a member of the US Congress, as part of his visit to Egypt and the accompanying high-level delegation. The meeting witnessed an open dialogue between the two sides, addressing ways to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. The Senator began his speech by expressing his happiness at being in Luxor for the second time after 22 years. He expressed his admiration for the positive changes taking place in the city and his amazement at ancient Egyptian civilization, emphasizing that Egypt is a country with a rich civilization dating back thousands of years. Sheehy added that Egypt is an important and ally in the Middle East region, and that it has a promising economic future over the next five years. He expressed his hope for strengthening American partnerships in Egypt and praised the country's ongoing comprehensive development efforts, particularly in infrastructure modernization and the renewable energy sector. On his part, the Governor of Luxor welcomed the US Senator and explained the governorate's economy, which is based on the cultural tourism sector, followed by agriculture and industry. He emphasized that tourist bookings have increased this year compared to last year, and that the booking rate for the upcoming tourist season is very promising and exceeds previous years, despite global events. The governor added that despite the hot June weather approaching, the continued growth of tourism in Luxor has not been affected. He attributed this to the stability and security Egypt enjoys thanks to the wisdom of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who assumed the presidency 10 years ago. He also praised US support for the country. The US Ambassador to Cairo attended the inauguration of the new drinking water station in the village of El-Hanady, east of Esna, south of Luxor. This station will serve approximately 10 villages by 2024. The station was funded by the US Agency for International Development. At the end of the meeting, the US Senator wished Egypt continued prosperity and promised to visit Luxor again with his family. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

When will Montana's leaders stand up to ‘TACO Don?'
Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Montana, speaks to Kaitlan Collins on CNN about the Trump tariffs, confirming that Americans will feel economic pain (Screenshot CNN). It hasn't been a good week for the guy who decided he was going to be a king and spent his first four months in office ignoring the law, declaring phony 'national emergencies' and issuing 'royal edicts' disguised as executive orders. But things didn't go exactly as he hoped — to put it mildly. To start, Wall Street, which has been wracked by his on again-off again tariffs, came up with a new moniker for him: TACO. That stands for 'Trump Always Chickens Out' and is rooted in his failed attempts to pressure the nations of the world — including our longest and most loyal allies — with crushing tariffs to sell goods in the U.S. Of course this didn't sit well with his fragile ego and he demeaned a reporter who asked him what he thought of Wall Street's label, falsely claiming our nation was 'stone cold dead' before he took office and warning her to never use the term or ask that 'nastiest question' again. That did not keep TACO Don out of the headlines, however. Next up on the hit list was Elon Musk announcing his time with the Trump administration has 'come to an end.' While Tesla sales were cratering and his latest Starship rocket was blowing up, he added insult to injury by declaring that the 'big beautiful bill' Trump has been arm-twisting Congress to pass would accomplish the opposite of what he tried to do with the phony 'Department of Government Efficiency' to cut government spending. Although causing incredible hardship and damage abroad and at home — including here in Montana — by Musk taking a chainsaw to government agencies, DOGE didn't come close to meeting the goal of slashing a trillion dollars from the deficit. In fact, on his way out the White House door he warned:'I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.' The worst, however, was yet to come when the Court of International Trade issued a permanent injunction against his tariffs, ruling: 'The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined.' The unanimous ruling, including a Trump-appointed judge, found the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, which Trump attempted to use to declare his emergencies, 'does not authorize the President to impose unbounded tariffs' and halted them immediately. Even though a federal appeals court halted the trade court's injunction for now, it is obvious that the law doesn't allow the president to slap the nation and world around, the entire premise on which his emergency declarations were based is phony. There is no Canadian fentanyl emergency and there is no rare earth minerals emergency threatening the nation's defense capacity. As noted in a recent article on the potential for recovering those minerals from Montana's Berkeley Pits which contains 50 billion gallons of toxic water: 'A single F-35 fighter jet uses 900 pounds of rare-earth metals.' If our national defense was so threatened, one might credibly ask why we then sell F-35s all over the world? TACO Don's 'golden age' is unravelling faster than 'the weave' of lies and threats in his incoherent speeches. One might think it would be a good time for Congress, including Montana's all-GOP delegation, to acknowledge the failed policies and propaganda, get up off their knees, and get back to working on realistic, humane, and long-term policies that benefit the nation and their constituents here in Big Sky Country — not prop up the would-be dictator in the Oval Office.

Republicans press Trump for action ahead of wildfire season
A group of Republicans has asked President Trump in a letter to implement 'immediate, decisive action' ahead of wildfire season. Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) is leading the group of GOP lawmakers to request Trump take action as the May-to-November wildfire season begins, noting fires have already impacted communities and the environment across the country. The letter, signed by Sheehy and 16 other Republicans, was first reported by Semafor. 'We write to express our strong support for executive action your Administration is considering to mitigate the escalating wildfire crisis threatening our nation,' the letter began. They noted that while wildfire season typically begins in May, this year has already been 'one of the worst on record.' 'Immediate, decisive action is critical, and we support the Administration taking commonsense measures to protect the American people,' the Republicans wrote. They note that federal jurisdiction over wildfire response is spread across federal and state agencies, with 'no clear responsibility' for fighting the fires and protecting communities. There are unnecessary 'bureaucratic hurdles and redundancies' within the agencies that hamper the ability to respond to wildfires quickly, they said. 'Adopting a more streamlined approach to wildfire response, implementing modern technology, giving brave wildland firefighters the tools and support they need to do their work safely and effectively, and ensuring the best resources are available to be deployed quickly when responding to wildland fire are all commonsense ways we can dramatically improve the federal wildland fire apparatus as we approach the bulk of the fire season this summer,' they said. The Republicans noted that some improvements to the system will require congressional approval, but they believe executive action from Trump will provide the 'most immediate path' forward. 'We stand ready to fully support your leadership in protecting American communities from the devastating impacts of catastrophic wildfires,' the letter concluded. The letter was signed by Republican lawmakers from Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wyoming. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
