WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday decl WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear President Donald Trump’s appeal of a $5 million verdict finding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. The decision finalizes the judgment, requiring Trump to pay Carroll. Carroll first sued Trump for defamation in 2019. She filed a second lawsuit in 2022 for defamation and battery after New York passed a law allowing civil claims for past sexual abuse. That case reached trial first, where a jury found Trump liable and awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. The ruling stands as a significant legal setback for the president.

President and COO Gwynne Shotwell shared the ambitions with investors during a recent IPO roadshow, revealing the company could build its own terrestrial mobile network in the United States. This hybrid approach would leverage Starlink’s satellite technology for seamless coverage, particularly in remote areas, while using ground infrastructure in urban zones.

It builds on existing direct-to-cell partnerships but aims for full retail control to capture more revenue. No launch timeline or pricing details have been announced.

Caracas, Venezuela — The death toll from this week Caracas, Venezuela — The death toll from this week's devastating twin earthquakes in Venezuela has surged to at least 1,430, according to National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez. The 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude quakes struck just 39 seconds apart on Wednesday, flattening buildings across northern regions including Caracas and La Guaira, injuring over 3,200 others, and leaving thousands missing. Rescue teams are racing against time, digging through rubble often with bare hands due to limited heavy machinery. Persistent aftershocks have heightened dangers, slowing operations and raising fears of further collapses as the critical 72-hour window for survivors closes. International aid is arriving, but the crisis has strained Venezuela's resources amid widespread destruction.
