Trump adviser Waltz claims ‘full responsibility’ for adding journalist to Signal group but can’t explain how it happened – live

Mike Waltz insists he’s never texted Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, who was added to chat to discuss Yemen strikes

Elon Musk appears to be laying the groundwork to privatize some space and satellite operations now under the authority of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), or steer lucrative contracts toward his SpaceX and Starlink companies, former agency employees say.

They’re sounding the alarm as at least four other federal agencies have reportedly begun pushing new contracts toward Musk’s Starlink satellite internet company. Musk, the world’s richest man, has been tasked by Donald Trump with drastically slashing the federal government workforce and costs.
