Trump Abruptly Drops Musk’s NASA Pick Jared Isaacman |Space Agency Faces Turmoil & Leadership Vacuum

In a shocking shake-up, President Donald Trump has withdrawn the nomination of billionaire private astronaut Jared Isaacman—an Elon Musk ally—to lead NASA.

The decision comes just days before Isaacman’s long-delayed Senate confirmation vote.

With no clear explanation from Trump, the space industry is left reeling.

Is this a political snub to Musk?

What does it mean for NASA’s future under budget cuts, leadership uncertainty, and mounting space race pressures?

We break down the power dynamics, the controversy over SpaceX ties, and who might take the reins next—including the rumored pick, Lt.

Gen.

Steven Kwast.

‘That’s A LIE’:Booker Vs Cruz Explodes In Senate Over Judge Threats | Booker RAGES Over Protest Laws

Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks “dangerous” and a “patent lie.” The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric. The hearing, titled "The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch," underscored growing concerns about the politicization of the judiciary and partisan responses to violence and intimidation. #BookerVsCruz #JudicialThreats #SenateClash #CoryBooker #TedCruz #FederalJudges #SCOTUS #PoliticalDivision #JudiciaryHearing #TrumpEra #DemocratsVsRepublicans #SenateFireworks #USPolitics #PartisanRift #LegalNews #SupremeCourt #DobbsDecision #JudgeSafety #SubcommitteeHearing #CapitolHill #LawAndOrder #DOJ #Protests #FreeSpeechDebate #SenateShowdown #BreakingNews #AmericanPolitics #JusticeSystem #Schumer #Kavanaugh #BookerStrikesBack #CruzVsBooker Also Read Zuckerberg’s testimony before social-media unsavvy gerontocrats & shrewd politicians :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mark-zuckerberg-testimony-congress-social-media-unsavvy-gerontocrats-ted-cruz-2675671.html?ref=DMDesc Ted Cruz will vote for former rival Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ted-cruz-will-vote-for-former-rival-donald-trump-2217831.html?ref=DMDesc GOP Convention turns ugly as Ted Cruz faces insults for not endorsing Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/republican-convention-ted-cruz-faces-insult-not-endorses-trump-2158995.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~
