Expenses over $50,000 now require DOGE approval, says new EPA guidance

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued new guidance directing that spending items greater than USD 50,000 now require approval from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. The guidance, issued this week, escalates the role that the new efficiency group, known as DOGE, plays in EPA operations.

To facilitate the DOGE team review, EPA staff members have been directed to submit a brief, one-page explanation of each funding action each day between 3 and 6 pm Eastern time, the guidance says. Other relevant forms also must be completed. President Donald Trump has tasked DOGE with digging up what he and Musk call waste, fraud and abuse.

SpaceX's Starship explodes in space, again raining debris over Caribbean

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down. The 403-foot (123-metre) rocket blasted off from Texas a little before sunset. SpaceX caught the first-stage booster back at the pad with giant mechanical arms, but engines on the spacecraft on top started shutting down as it streaked eastward for what was supposed to be a controlled entry over the Indian Ocean, half a world away. Contact was lost with the spacecraft as it went into an out-of-control spin. The space-skimming flight was supposed to last an hour and couldn't release the mock satellites into space as planned. The spacecraft reached nearly 90 miles (150 kilometres) in altitude before trouble struck. It was not immediately clear where it came down. Unfortunately this happened last time too, so we have some practice at this now, SpaceX

As Musk eyes Lesotho for business, Trump says no one has heard of it

US President Donald Trump says no one has ever heard of Lesotho. The foreign minister of the small African kingdom tells The Associated Press that Trump should speak for himself. It is surprising and disappointing that he claimed no one knows Lesotho, especially given that the US has an embassy here, minster Lejone Mpotjoane said, a day after Trump's dismissive comment in a speech to Congress caused some laughter. He should speak for himself and not generalise. Mpotjoane said Trump appeared to pick on Lesotho because it isn't a rich country but warned: One day America may need Lesotho's support. In fact, Trump's key adviser Elon Musk has already sought it. Trump mocked Lesotho while criticising some US foreign aid contracts as a waste of money in his 99-minute speech on Tuesday.
