The president at first suggested his renovations would last a century. But, within weeks of the project originally reaching completion last month, the water was beset by an algae bloom and pieces of the new coating appeared to be peeling off the bottom. Trump has blamed the peeling on vandals, though critics allege it’s from shoddy repair work. Interior Secretary…
Sen. Susan Collins’ campaign is giving her would‑be rivals the “Jeb!” treatment, casting them as low‑energy losers who have a long climb before they can recreate the Graham Platner buzz. They started the “Campaign Energy Check” to mock the competition almost as soon as Mr. Platner’s replacements started lining up. Mr. Platner — a Marine veteran, oyster farmer and political newcomer who electrified the left wing of the Democratic Party — ended his Senate campaign Wednesday after a woman he once dated accused him of rape, capping a series of scandals that included his Nazi tattoo and sexist and racist…

China’s state-owned space company successfully launched a Long March orbital rocket and landed the booster on a seagoing recovery vessel, making it the second country to achieve the feat. The demonstration on Friday shows that China’s Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) is poised to match the advance that catapulted SpaceX to the top of the heap: reusing the same booster again and again to drive down the cost of launching spacecraft. CASC said it would attempt to reuse the booster, which can carry about as much payload as SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9, by the end of the year. Instead…
Rafael Benitez is “open to all the good countries” amid links with the vacant Scotland manager’s job.

Scotland return to action in the UEFA Nations League in September when they travel to Slovenia. And former Liverpool, Real…
It’s hard to imagine the federal government paying hunters to shoot and kill owls, but that’s exactly what has begun in the Pacific Northwest and California, where the destruction of up to 450,000 barred owls is underway in a desperate bid to save spotted owls. Following years of planning, and despite public backlash, objections from Congress, animal rights organizations and an ongoing lawsuit, the shooting of thousands of barred owls has started. The Yakama Nation Tribe in Washington, using grant money provided by the federal government, is currently hunting and killing up to 1,500 barred owls on reservation land, while…
