Search underway for 5 Marines after helicopter mishap |
A search-and-rescue operation is underway for five Marines after a United States military helicopter carrying them to Southern California went missing Wednesday. The search began when the helicopter, which departed from Nevada on a "routine training flight," was reported overdue. The aircraft was later located by civil authorities in Pine Valley, California, a mountainous region near the Cleveland National Forest about 35 miles east of downtown San Diego. But the condition of Marines aboard remains unknown. 📍 Here's the latest. | A search is underway for five Marines who were aboard a U.S. Marine helicopter when it crashed in a mountainous region east of San Diego late Tuesday.

Back-to-back defeats for House GOP |
"Not good." "Very frustrating." "Embarrassing." That's how Republicans in the House described perhaps one of their most demoralizing and confusing days in recent memory. GOP leaders on Tuesday called votes on two key legislative priorities for Republicans: impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and funding U.S. aid to Israel. Those votes failed in back-to-back, stunning losses. The failure of both bills casts a dark cloud over House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., as he looks to the House's next legislative fights. 🔎 A look at the issues facing lawmakers. | U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson makes his way to a House Republican caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

Netanyahu: Cease-fire offer 'delusional' |
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Wednesday the concessions sought by Hamas leaders in their counter to the latest cease-fire proposal, saying meeting their terms would result in disaster for his country. A "crushing" military victory over the militants can be obtained within months, Netanyahu said, calling Hamas' demands "delusional." |
