July 10 Breaking News: LA Tunnel Rescue, NASA Leadership Shift, Ukraine Attacks Intensify

Emergency crews executed a dramatic rescue in Los Angeles late Wednesday, successfully extracting all 31 workers trapped after a massive tunnel collapse. The Los Angeles Fire Department, including all Urban Search and Rescue teams, responded swiftly to the scene, utilizing cranes and rescue cages to ensure the safe retrieval of every individual.

In Washington, President Trump announced on Wednesday the appointment of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as the interim NASA administrator. This move, which sees a former congressman and TV host take the helm of the space agency, has drawn attention given the typical selection of scientists or engineers for the role.

Meanwhile, the conflict in Eastern Europe escalated as Russia continued its aerial assault on Ukraine’s capital for a second consecutive night. Kyiv experienced over 10 hours of intense bombardments, with massive fiery explosions and smoke filling the night sky, resulting in at least two fatalities and over a dozen injuries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported the latest attack involved 400 drones and 18 missiles, causing widespread damage to homes, vehicles, warehouses, and a healthcare clinic.

Domestically, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing a lawsuit from major medical associations representing hundreds of thousands of doctors and scientists. The lawsuit alleges that Kennedy Jr. and the heads of the FDA, NIH, and CDC have limited access to Covid-19 vaccines and undermined overall vaccine confidence, potentially creating new barriers for those seeking vaccination.

Concerns are also mounting over the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s readiness. Following floodwaters surging across central Texas last week, internal officials revealed that bureaucratic obstacles, including a June memo from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requiring personal approval for contracts over $100,000, severely hindered FEMA’s response capabilities and delayed critical deployments and aid.
