The Las Vegas Review-Journal will no longer print its rival the Las Vegas Sun for the first time in decades, sharpening a longtime legal dispute between the southern Nevada newspapers. The papers will be in court Friday, and the Sun hopes a judge will order printing to resume immediately. The nation's last joint operating agreement stems from a 1970 law designed to preserve newspapers. The Review-Journal printed the Sun as an insert, but both companies have separate newsrooms and websites. The Review-Journal argued in an editorial Friday that readers now get their information and entertainment from a variety of outlets, including online, so the paper shouldn't have to pay to print a competitor.

American employers added a surprisingly strong 178,000 new jobs last month, rebounding from a dismal February. And the unemployment rate dipped to 4.3%. The Labor Department reported Friday that hiring marked a rebound from the loss of 133,000 jobs in February. The job gains were about three times what economists had forecast. The unemployment rate was down from 4.4% in February. But uncertainty surrounding the war with Iran — and its impact on energy prices — is clouding the outlook for the labor market.

One crew member has been recued after an American aircraft was shot down in Iran. That’s according to one U.S. and one Israeli official, who both spoke on condition of anonymity to describe sensitive ongoing military operations. The rescue occurred as the U.S. military was conducting a search and rescue operation, according to three people familiar who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitivity of the situation. Israel is helping the United States with the operation. The number of crew on board wasn’t immediately known. It would be the first time the U.S. has lost aircraft in Iranian territory during the five-week war.
While it will be a mild holiday weekend along the west coast, severe weather is possible east of the Rockies, especially on Friday.

The White House is releasing details of President Donald Trump’s 2027 budget, including a $1.5 trillion defense spending request. That's the largest of its kind in decades. The Republican president had indicated even before the war against Iran that he wanted to increase defense spending to modernize the military. He's also calling for a 10% cut in non-defense discretionary spending. The president’s annual budget does not carry the force of law. Instead, it reflects an administration’s priorities and provides a road map to Congress, which handles spending issues. But Congress is free to reject it and often does.
