Boeing is working with Elon Musk to deliver Air Force One replacements sooner
Boeing is working with Trump advisor Elon Musk on ways to deliver delayed, overbudget Air Force One replacements sooner, CEO Kelly Ortberg said Tuesday. The pair of Boeing 747s that will serve as the next Air Force One aircraft are more than $2 billion over budget and years late, which the company has attributed to design changes, labor constraints and supply chain problems. President Donald Trump struck a deal for the aircraft during his first term, after threatening to “cancel order!” before he took office in 2017, complaining about high costs.

HONOLULU — When Hawaii Gov. Josh Green announced a $4 billion settlement about a year after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century devastated Lahaina in 2023, he touted the speed of the deal to “avoid protracted and painful lawsuits.” Five months later, however, an unusual trial starting Wednesday will delve into difficult questions about survivors’ losses as a judge decides how to divide the settlement.

Movie Review: Graphic novel hero ‘Dog Man’ gets the Hollywood treatment and it’s ruff going
Whether or not you’ll enjoy the “Dog Man” movie is sort of dependent on how much you’re a fan of the graphic novels. I was split — like its wordless hero. Creator Dav Pilkey’s quirky, kinetic world has nicely made the visual leap to the big screen, but something is missing. The Hollywoodization — like a ray blasted from a typical Pilkey lumbering robot — has leveled-out the idiosyncrasy and overstuffed the narrative. Newcomers may be stunned — and not in a good way. The movie version has celebrities — Pete Davidson, Lil Rel Howery, Isla Fisher and Ricky Gervais — less toilet humor, less puns and really no jokes for parents, despite a few references to “Die Hard” and “Apocalypse Now.” Other studios have managed to keep the folks who buy the tickets at least entertained with some sly adult things to snack on.
