Its initial value, estimated at 2,000 euros, became a bid for 221,000 euros (or 1,800 Solanas). Although the auction ultimately raised around 141,000 euros due to the volatility of the cryptocurrency used, the hat remained a symbol of his impeccable style.

The fact that JD and I were able to meet, fall in love, and get married is a testament to this great country. It is also a testament to JD. And it tells you something about who he is.”

Trump has made it very clear that he wants to conquer Mars. Now NASA has the enormous problem of not being called SpaceX

by

Trump made just one space promise during his inauguration speech, but it was no small feat. The Martian dream. Between cheers and jumps of enthusiasm of Elon Musk, Donald Trump pointed out Mars as new “manifest destiny” of the United States. The newly inaugurated president promised to take astronauts to the Red Planet and plant the American flag in Martian soil. Trump stated: “We will pursue our manifest destiny to the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the flag on the planet Mars.” His words are not coincidental and have a clear influence, but they seem to mark a change of priorities for NASA that leaves the future of the Artemis lunar program. The influence of Elon Musk. “We’re going straight to Mars, the Moon is a distraction,” wrote the CEO of SpaceX two weeks ago. No one quite understood the scope of that tweet, since SpaceX has a very important contract with NASA to build the lander for the Artemis III and IV lunar missions, but now that message resonates on Capitol Hill. There, President Trump focused on Mars. It could just be a rhetorical statement (slowly, but surely, we have to get to Mars before China does), but with Elon Musk as a key ally, the new government could really be preparing a radical shift in astronautics strategy. The current Artemis program. It was precisely Trump’s first term that shaped NASA’s current lunar program. The then administrator, Jim Bridenstine, managed to put the United States’ return to the Moon on track with an architecture that combined NASA’s internal developments (the SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft) with commercial spacecraft from private companies (SpaceX’s Starship HLS and the lunar module Blue Moon by Blue Origin). In turn, Bridenstine promoted a series of unmanned lunar missions and the creation of the Artemis Accordswhich already has 53 signatory countries, for international cooperation in future missions to the Moon, including the construction of a lunar base, the commercial exploitation of the satellite and everything that comes after (Mars, comets and asteroids). The Moon is a cruel lover. Artemis is not at her best. Manned missions have been delayed for problems on the Orion ship and delays in Starship development. Furthermore, the insane cost overruns of the SLS rocket have put a good part of public opinion against the current architecture of the program, which could be reconfigured with the support of SpaceX’s new Starship and Blue Origin’s New Glenn rockets. To make matters worse, the first two commercial missions associated with Artemis (CLPS‑1 and CLPS‑2) failed to reach the Moon or lie down when landing on the moonwhich has precipitated the cancellation of other more important missions such as NASA’s VIPER rover. But until Trump’s speech, there was nothing to predict that the Artemis program would be in danger. Is it really? From the Moon to Mars. Until now, NASA’s plan was to establish itself on the Moon throughout this decade and the next (or at least in the Gateway lunar station in orbit with the satellite) to prepare for the jump to Mars in the 2040s. Prioritize the Red Planet I would leave three scenarios to the foreseeable new administrator from NASA, Jared Isaacman: A reduced lunar program, without aspirations to create a large lunar base like the one proposed by the ILRS program led by China. Thus, the United States would continue in the race to put the first woman on the moon without stopping to focus on Mars. In exchange, he would cede lunar land to his opponents A bifurcated program with parallel lunar and Martian missions that do not throw away everything that has been developed so far. It would be the logical step if NASA’s budget were unlimited, but with the huge investment what the lunar program entails, adding a Martian program seems impossible A total redirection to the conquest of Mars. Following Elon Musk’s vision: the Moon is a distraction from the ultimate goal of become a multiplanetary civilization. Even with a majority in Congress, it is the option in which giants such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and even New Space lose (Blue Origin has several lunar contracts). It seems complicated for congressmen to agree on a clean slate, but it is not totally impossible How would the United States get to Mars? There would be a public tender, but one option immediately comes to mind. NASA could adopt the SpaceX Mars program as your own. Elon Musk said SpaceX planned to launch five uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2026 and, if they managed to land, the first crewed mission to Mars in history in 2028. The experts agree at a crucial point: a mission with astronauts to Mars in the next four years is technically impossible if it is to be done with guarantees, since the scientific and technological challenges are monumental. But there were also many people convinced that Trump would not win the election again while Musk bet money that yes I would.

Ivanka Trump follows in Kate Middleton’s style footsteps

On January 20, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States during a institutional act which several followed inaugural balls. In these acts, fashion played an important role and, among the looks that stood out, we can highlight those of her eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump; above all, because there is an anecdotal detail in both: they remember outfits that Kate Middleton already wore. In this gallery, we will remember all the times he has connected with the Princess of Wales’s closet. 110 © Dior © Getty Images A green look with a headdress during the investiture For the morning of January 20, 2025, during the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States, Ivanka opted for a fabulous green outfit from the house of Dior, which took the design as a reference FavoriAH1950 that Christian Dior created in the 1950s. However, it didn’t take us long to see that his choice for that historic day It reminded us of the tastes of the realza and, among them, those who have defined the image of Kate Middleton. In the image, we can see the current Princess of Wales with a very similar LK Bennett look that she wore during her visit to Leicester on March 8, 2012. On the other hand, both also connected by accompanying her image with an elegant headdress. 210 © Getty Images © Getty Images In white and with black opera gloves Ivanka Trump opted for a bridal aesthetic to attend one of the inaugural balls on the night of January 20, 2025. Specifically, she wore a nostalgic recreation of the Givenchy dress that actress Audrey Hepburn showed in the film Sabrina (1954). However, on this occasion, it was very difficult not to think about Kate Middleton, since she also chose a white dress for one of her most impressive red carpet looks: her choice in silk chiffon and satin by Alexander McQueen to attend the 2023 BAFTA Awards. Magnifying this anecdotal connection, the eldest daughter of the president of the United States also accompanied her image with long black opera gloves. 310 © ivankatrump / munozphotography © Getty Images A brilliant party choice, by Jenny Packham However, the inaugural ball was not the only time Ivanka Trump reminded us of Kate Middleton with a red carpet-worthy dress.

For her part, Kate Middleton premiered him for an official portrait on the occasion of the 70th birthday of the current King Charles III in November 2018.

In the case of Ivanka Trump, she wore this flattering creation during her institutional commitments at the Capitol on June 25, 2019. For her part, Kate Middleton has worn it only once: during a Polo match in Windsor on July 6, 2022. Prince William’s wife chose to wear it without the wide belt that accompanies this model, named Denvella. 710 © Getty Images © Getty Images A red coat with volumes at the neckline For the religious service held on January 21, 2025 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington DC, Ivanka Trump chose to wear a red Suzannah London coat that, inevitably, is reminiscent of the design with a bow on the chest (by Catherine Walker) that Kate Middleton chose to attend the pre-Christmas concert held at Westminster Abbey from London on December 8, 2021. It was accompanied by sapphire earrings from the Queen Mother. 810 © Getty Images © Getty Images A monochrome look in white and with a suit Ivanka Trump attended a United Nations meeting in New York on September 24, 2019.

Judge hears lawsuit over Trump’s order to cancel birthright citizenship

by

A federal judge in Seattle will hear first arguments Thursday in a lawsuit filed by several states seeking to block President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of parents’ immigration status. Federal Judge John Coughenour scheduled the session to consider the request from Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington. The case is one of five lawsuits brought by 22 states and several immigrant advocacy groups across the country. The lawsuits include personal testimony from prosecutors who are U.S. citizens by birthright, and names of pregnant women who fear their children will not become U.S. citizens. The order signed by Trump on the day of his inauguration is scheduled to go into effect on February 19. It could affect thousands of people born in the country, according to one of the lawsuits. In 2022, there were approximately 255,000 births of citizen children to mothers living in the country illegally and approximately 153,000 births to both parents in such a situation, according to the lawsuit filed by the four states in Seattle. The United States is among about 30 countries where birthright citizenship, the principle of jus soli or “right of the soil,” applies. Most are in the American Continent, including Canada and Mexico. The lawsuits argue that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to people born and naturalized in the country and states have interpreted the amendment that way for a century. Ratified in 1868 after the Civil War, the amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside.” Trump’s order affirms that children of non-Americans are not subject to US jurisdiction and directs federal agencies not to recognize citizenship for children who do not have at least one parent who is a citizen. A key case on the issue unfolded in 1898. The Supreme Court held that Wong Kim Ark, who was born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the country. After a trip abroad, he faced denial of reentry by the federal government on the grounds that he was not a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some advocates of immigration restrictions have argued that that case clearly applied to children born to parents who were both legal immigrants. They say it is less clear whether it applies to children born to parents who do not have a residence permit. Trump’s executive order prompted attorneys general to share their personal connections to birthright citizenship. For example, Connecticut state Attorney General William Tong, a birthright U.S. citizen and the nation’s first elected Chinese American attorney general, said the lawsuit was personal to him. “There is no legitimate legal debate on this issue. But the fact that Trump is completely wrong will not stop him from causing serious harm right now to American families like mine,” Tong said this week. One of the lawsuits includes the case of a pregnant woman, identified as “Carmen,” who is not a citizen, but has lived in the United States for more than 15 years and has a pending visa application that could give her permanent residency status. “Depriving children of the ‘priceless treasure’ of citizenship is a serious injury,” the lawsuit says. “It denies them the full membership in American society to which they are entitled.”

Trump orders oil drilling in Arctic reserve

by

He Donald Trump’s inauguration speech Last January 20 was full of controversies. Not only for the blunders on scientific topics that caused a stir in New Zealand. Also because he announced measures that make clear the drift that his dangerous environmental policies. For example, he made it very clear that he thinks open the Arctic to drilling in search of oil and other fossil fuels. Until now, the Arctic wildlife reserve, located in Alaska, had remained closed to drilling by order of Joe Biden. The last president had denied several exploitation permits in this protected area. However, the new president has already shown on many occasions how little he cares about the planet, so it was not going to be any less this time. “Drill, baby drill”. With this slogan, first used in 2008 by the former Republican lieutenant governor of the state of Maryland Michael SteeleDonald Trump has signaled his intentions in his inauguration speech. But what will be the consequences if drilling in these Alaskan territories finally restarts? American environmental groups have not been waiting to launch their answer to this question. Without a doubt, it is not good at all. There is only hope that, as have already shown on some other occasionfuel extraction companies show disinterest in this area of ​​the Arctic. It doesn’t matter how much Donald Trump opens the doors of the reservation. If the big oil companies refuse to extract fuel from there, there is little else they can do. I hope that’s the case. This is the reserve that Donald Trump wants to drill According to data from 2024it is estimated that beneath the soil of Alaska there is an amount of oil equivalent to 450-800 million barrels. Most of this territory is open to exploitation. However, there is an area of 78,000 square kilometers located on the northern slope of Alaska where, until now, it was strictly prohibited. It is about the Attic National Wildlife Refuge, known to some people like him United States Serengetidue to the great biodiversity that exists in it. It is one of the most intact and virgin of said country and it is estimated that approximately more than 200 species of birds, 42 species of fish and 45 species of mammals. Animals such as polar, brown and black bears, moose, caribou, wolves, lynxes, eagles, martens and beavers stand out. Its caribou population stands out especially, with more than 120,000 specimens. In his speech, Donald Trump has used the slogan “drill, baby, drill.” The Refuge was established in 1960 by President Dwight Eisenhower. Although it belonged to the American Republican Party, over time it has been the Democrats who have put the most effort into protecting the Refuge. Joe Biden also suspended drilling permits established in this region, in order to protect it even more. But Donald Trump has taken it upon himself to annul this suspension and announce his commitment to “drill, baby, drill“(“drill” means “to pierce” in English). What do environmentalists say? Both environmentalists and Alaska Native groups have expressed concern about the first decisions made by Donald Trump. Carol Holleythe lawyer and manager of the Earthjustice group, recalled in a statement that “Alaska is warming up four times faster than the rest of the planet.” This, he added, is “a trend that is wreaking havoc on communities, ecosystems, fish, wildlife and ways of life that depend on healthy lands and waters.” Logically, drilling the ground to extract oil and natural gas is the last thing needed to have healthy lands and waters. There is a large population of caribou in the refuge. Credit: Danielle Brigida (Wikimedia Commons) For Donald Trump, this is a decision that will bring economic prosperity to the United States, but it is not all about money. There is no United States without a planet and, with measures like this, little by little the stones are being laid to build an uninhabitable planet.

TIJUANA, Mexico . — Mexican day laborers detained while working began to be deported to Mexico while at various points on the border with the United States the construction of new spaces to house migrants and face the mass deportations announced by Donald Trump was accelerated. About 70 deportees in what could be some of the first raids of the new U.S. administration arrived in Tijuana in small groups over about three hours Tuesday night, some dressed in work clothes carrying orange bags with their belongings.

Another migrant said he had been arrested in Oregon without giving further details. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Wednesday that there were returns the day before and, without specifying, indicated that the numbers were lower than usual. In 2024, according to official data, more than 500 Mexicans were deported daily on average along the entire border. This month, through one point alone, Nogales, on the border with Arizona, about 150 were deported daily, according to data from the Kino Initiative shelters. On an empty lot next to the border in Ciudad Juárez, next to El Paso, workers used cranes to erect large metal structures that would later become shelters. In Nogales, sports centers were set up to serve migrants. In Matamoros, spaces were expanded in shelters already operating and to the south of Piedras Negras the authorities announced that they wanted to enable empty industrial warehouses for the same purpose. Sheinbaum said Wednesday that the nine federal centers located in municipalities adjacent to the 11 official people repatriation points would be ready in three or four days. The president emphasized that formal conversations with the new US administration have also begun with a call between Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday. “It was a very good conversation, very cordial, they talked about migration issues, security issues,” Sheinbaum said without giving more details. In addition to the nine new centers, the federal government plans to use some existing ones in Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Matamoros where, as explained by Ariadna Montiel, Secretary of Welfare, foreigners who had an appointment to request asylum in the United States but who were canceled when Trump paralyzed the CBPOne virtual application. However, Sheinbaum has insisted that Mexico’s objective with foreigners, both those who were waiting for an appointment and those who are returned due to the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” program – which returns asylum seekers while they wait for their hearing in court Americans—is to first give them humanitarian care and then return them to their countries voluntarily.
