German authorities defused a military-grade explosive drone discovered near a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig/Halle Airport, an incident the country's interior minister called "a new threat scenario" that may involve foreign powers. A drone fitted with Semtex explosives and a detonator turned up overnight into Wednesday near the south runway of the major German cargo hub, parked close to a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft. The German Federal Police bomb disposal unit removed the detonator, and a second drone apparently struck a DHL cargo plane that had aborted its landing after the runway was shut down. The DHL jet sustained minor nosecone damage but landed safely in Hanover, ABC News reported . By Thursday morning, Leipzig/Halle…Open

Sen. Lisa Murkowski declared she will vote against confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general, joining Sen. Susan Collins and putting the nomination's fate in the hands of a single undecided Republican. Murkowski, the Alaska Republican, posted her decision on X, acknowledging that Blanche had impressed her personally and made solid decisions as acting attorney general, then listing a series of concerns she said made confirmation impossible. She praised his willingness to visit Alaska's rural communities and called him "decent and capable," but said the Justice Department's trajectory under the current administration left her without confidence that Blanche would serve as an independent check on executive power. Her opposition lands at…Open

An Air India flight from Phuket to New Delhi plunged roughly 300 feet without warning during cruise, throwing unbuckled passengers into the cabin ceiling and injuring 17 people, and experts say the one precaution most flyers ignore could have prevented nearly every injury. The Airbus A320 was carrying 137 passengers and eight crew members on Tuesday, August 4, when severe turbulence struck approximately 90 minutes after takeoff from Thailand. Passengers described a sudden, violent drop that launched people out of their seats, slammed heads into overhead compartments, and tore luggage-bin lids from their hinges. Belongings scattered across the cabin floor. A flight attendant's voice, captured on video taken inside the aircraft, cut through…Open

A Republican and a Democrat in the House have joined forces to federally penalize anyone who disrupts a religious service, a rare bipartisan move prompted by a church occupation in St. Paul that left a parishioner with a broken arm and children in tears. Reps. Brad Knott of North Carolina and Tom Suozzi of New York are introducing legislation this week that would impose civil fines on anyone who knowingly disrupts or impedes people from attending worship. The bill sets a $2,500 penalty for a first offense, $5,000 for a second, and $10,000 for a third, Fox News Digital reported after obtaining the bill's text. The proposed law would create a 100-foot buffer zone around any pedestrian or vehicular entrance to a house of worship. That zone…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Trump signs new executive orders narrowing birthright citizenship after Supreme Court defeat
President Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, a narrower second attempt after the Supreme Court struck down his broader first order in June.

President Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, a narrower second attempt after the Supreme Court struck down his broader first order in June. The new orders zero in on specific categories of people the administration says should not receive automatic U.S. citizenship simply because they were born on American soil. One order restricts birthright citizenship for children born to adults connected to foreign embassies, members of foreign terrorist organizations, individuals who lobby on behalf of foreign governments, and anyone classified as an "alien enemy" of the United States. It also targets parents who "engaged in fraudulent activity to obtain citizenship." A second order…Open

Michigan's new Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, refused to distance himself from controversial streamer Hasan Piker in a post-primary interview, even as Jewish constituents say they fear for their safety under his candidacy. El-Sayed, 41, a former Wayne County health director with no prior elected office, defeated Rep. Haley Stevens by fewer than 15,000 votes out of more than 1.5 million cast in Tuesday night's primary. Polls a week earlier had him leading by double digits. The margin, just under 1 percentage point , surprised both parties and raised immediate questions about whether El-Sayed can hold Michigan for Democrats in November against Republican nominee Mike Rogers, a former congressman, in a race that could determine…Open
