Boeing on Wednesday reported a $355 million loss for the first three months of the year, as it deals with a quality crisis stemming from a Jan. 5 flight in which a panel blew off one of its planes.

The loss was not as steep as investor analysts had expected. Boeing brought in more than $16.5 billion in revenue in the first quarter, less than it reported the same period last year but also a bit more than analysts expected, and burned through almost $4 billion in cash.

The panel blowout on a 737 Max 9 jet during an Alaska Airlines flight resulted in...

No injuries were reported during the alleged breach on April 12 in El Paso, which authorities say began when someone in the group cut through a razor wire barrier. Mass arrests also followed a separate episode in the Texas border city in March.

On Monday, a county judge had thrown out the charges against those who were arrested this month...

Washington — Legislation that could lead to a national ban of TikTok cleared the Senate Tuesday night in a bipartisan vote of 79-18, representing one of the most serious threats to the immensely popular social media app's U.S. operations.

Some lawmakers insist they don't want to actually ban the platform used by roughly 170 million Americans, arguing the choice lies with TikTok's China-based parent company, ByteDance.

To keep TikTok up and running in the U.S., ByteDance must sell its stake in TikTok, and it has up to a year to do so, according to...

Top Mississippi lawmakers started negotiating Tuesday on what could become a landmark plan to expand Medicaid coverage to tens of thousands of people in one of the poorest states in the U.S.

But even with Republicans controlling both the state House and Senate, it's far from clear that they will reach a compromise during the final days of their four-month session that is scheduled to end by early May.

Mississippi is among the 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid coverage to people who work low-wage jobs that don't provide private health...

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a case that pits Idaho's near-total ban on abortion against a federal law that requires hospitals to provide stabilizing care to patients experiencing medical emergencies.

The dispute between the Biden administration and Idaho officials in the case known as Moyle v. United States is the second the justices will hear in the span of a month that follows the Supreme Court's decision less than two years ago overturning Roe v. Wade. The outcome of the case could determine whether the...
