The impending declaration has been confirmed by sources familiar with the announcement, including a U.S. official and individuals close to the deliberations, as reported by the Associated Press and Reuters.<\/p>\n A Pentagon website, set up to livestream the president\u2019s remarks, has already signalled the nature of the announcement, describing the event as a \u201cU.S. Space Command HQ Announcement.\u201d<\/p>\n This decision would overturn a 2023 directive under President Joe Biden, which had designated Colorado Springs as the permanent home for the military\u2019s newest combatant command.<\/p>\n The functions of Space Command are vital, encompassing critical operations such as enabling satellite-based navigation, facilitating troop communication, and providing crucial warnings of missile launches. The relocation carries significant economic implications for the local economies, as Alabama and Colorado have long fiercely battled to host the command.<\/p>\n Critics suggest the switch appears designed to favor Alabama, a reliably Republican state, over Colorado, which has increasingly voted Democratic in recent elections, potentially sparking controversy.<\/p>\n Space Command currently operates from Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs on an interim basis. Notably, the Air Force had, in 2021, identified Army Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, as its preferred location for the command.<\/p>\n Huntsville, a major hub for defence contractors like L3Harris and Lockheed Martin, and home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, has long lobbied for the Space Command headquarters.<\/p>\n Oliver O’Connell2 September 2025 19:00<\/p>\n <\/a>Trump claps back after weekend of speculation about his health<\/p>\n \u201cNEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,\u201d the president wrote on Sunday night<\/a>, linking back to a Truth Social post<\/a> from another user making disparaging comments about former president Joe Biden\u2019s health. The user added that the \u201cmedia freaks out if Trump disappears for 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n Oliver O’Connell2 September 2025 18:45<\/p>\n <\/a>ICYMI: Trump’s health questioned after bruising on hands at last Oval Office appearance<\/p>\n Sitting at the Resolute Desk, Trump appeared to be covering up the back of his right hand by placing his left hand on top of it while speaking with reporters. This past weekend, Trump was seen with a patch of makeup over his hand, seemingly covering a recurring bruise.<\/p>\n But at various points in the press conference on Monday, reporters could see a flash of the extensive bruise across the back of his hand.<\/p>\n Oliver O’Connell2 September 2025 18:30<\/p>\n <\/a>Explained: Why the speculation over the president’s wheareabouts?<\/p>\n Trump has been noticeably out of the spotlight after hosting a nearly 200-minute marathon Cabinet meeting <\/a>last Tuesday. Despite reportedly indulging in a long Labor Day golfing weekend, the president made no media appearances in the past week.<\/p>\n After several days out of the public eye, \u201cWhere is Donald Trump?\u201d and \u201cIs Trump dead?\u201d ranked among Google\u2019s top U.S. searches, while \u201cTRUMPISDEAD\u201d trended on X Saturday.<\/p>\n Others also cited Vice President JD Vance\u2019s interview on Wednesday with USA Today<\/a>, in which he said he\u2019s ready to assume the presidency if a \u201cterrible tragedy\u201d occurred. However, in that same interview, Vance stressed that Trump is in \u201cincredibly good health.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump was finally photographed with his granddaughter, Kai, on Saturday, en route to his golf course in Virginia.<\/p>\n Oliver O’Connell2 September 2025 18:15<\/p>\n <\/a>Eric Trump leaves the door open for a White House run: \u2018I\u2019m not saying no\u2019<\/p>\n Could one of President<\/a> Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s two eldest sons be considering how to turn their father\u2019s Make America Great Again machine into a new American political dynasty?<\/p>\n One of them isn\u2019t dismissing the idea out of hand, as Andrew Feinberg <\/strong>reports.<\/p>\n Oliver O’Connell2 September 2025 18:00<\/p>\n <\/a>Trump trolls Biden with plans for \u2018very controversial\u2019 new White House portrait <\/p>\n Trump, who has amassed an increasing collection of self-portraits<\/a>, teased the new painting on Monday after unveiling plans for a \u201cPresidential Wall of Fame\u201d during an interview with conservative news outlet the Daily Caller<\/a>.
