Artemis II made history Monday as the 4 astronauts aboard have officially surpassed the record set by Apollo 13 for the furthest any human has ever travelled. They will reach a maximum distance of 252,752 miles away from Earth, which is about 4,102 miles further than the Apollo 13 mission flew in 1970. In honor of this accomplishment, the astronauts decided to name two previously unnamed moon craters. One they named after their spacecraft, 'Integrity.' The other they named after Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman's wife, Carroll, who passed away from cancer in 2020. #nasa #artemisii #moon #apollo13

Republicans’ plan to use the special budget reconciliation process to fund immigration enforcement without help from Democrats will complicate their hopes of using one of their few remaining shots at a GOP-only bill on priorities including voting reform, Pentagon funding due to the Iran war and cuts aimed at cracking down on fraud in federal programs. President Trump set a June 1 deadline for a reconciliation bill that funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol as part of a two-step plan to end the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, giving up on coming to a compromise with Democrats demanding reforms as a condition of funding immigration enforcement.
