7+ hour, 9+ min ago (309+ words) NEW JERSEY -- A federal appeals court on Monday disqualified Alina Habba from serving as the United States Attorney for New Jersey. The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court decision that found her appointment violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. President Trump nominated Habba, formerly one of his personal lawyers, but she was not confirmed by the Senate. When district court judges declined to appoint her to the position, the administration tried to install her a different way. The 3rd Circuit said the maneuver was improper. Monday's ruling marks the first time a federal appeals court has ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to keep interim US Attorneys in their posts after their temporary appointments lapse, potentially resulting in nationwide implications for federal prosecutors installed in the same way as Alina Habba. The ruling from the three-judge panel - composed…...

18+ hour, 29+ min ago (293+ words) WASHINGTON (TNND) " Over a year ago, a string of drone sightings across the skies of New Jersey sparked widespread panic and speculation that either UFOs or foreign enemies were encroaching on American airspace, and some of these sightings still remain a mystery to the public. The first drone sighting appeared on November 13, 2024 at Picatinny Arsenal airspace, which is an US Army research facility. A spokesman for Picatinny Arsenal shared with the New York Post this week that "the suspected drones were not the result of any military-related activity on the installation and were not approved to fly over the installation." "After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons," Leavitt said at a briefing Tuesday.
