The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 4 points, or less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.3%. … Read more

The operational impact of US district judge Randolph Moss’s decision was not immediately clear – both because it will probably be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress. Moss ruled that Donald Trump’s executive order to cease … Read more

admin

Ali was 25 and a pilot for the Afghan air force, just like his father before him; he arrived at the special mission wing 777 airbase in Kabul around 11am one day in August 2021. The moment he stepped through the gates, he sensed something was wrong.

The Guardian is using a pseudonym for Ali’s safety and that of his family. He said: “The US … Read more
