Senate Democrats introduced new legislation last week aimed at protecting federal workers from knock-on financial penalties they may incur while furloughed or working without pay during government shutdowns.The 2026 Federal Worker Credit Protection Act (S. 4478), introduced by Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., would bar consumer reporting agencies like Experion and Equifax from marking down a federal employee’s credit score during or shortly after a lapse in appropriations that affects their employing agency.

Kemari Copeland shot to fame in 2024 after obliterating Virginia Tech’s squat record, lifting an astonishing 605 pounds—for 10 reps! And, while the Hokies’ defensive lineman’s powerful performance in the gym is building a solid foundation for football, he’s also working on the finer details, like working on his strategy and hitting the right bodyweight for Saturdays this season—and hopefully Sundays in the NFL. M&F sat down with the exciting lineman to find out more about his love of lifting, and how he’s been using the off-season to ready for 2026 and beyond. And the way he describes it, it’s…

The Air Force’s program to replace the B-52H Stratofortress’s 1960s-era engines cleared its critical design review, the service announced May 4, setting the stage for Boeing to begin modifying the first two aircraft into the B-52J configuration later this year.The Commercial Engine Replacement Program will swap the bomber’s eight Pratt & Whitney TF33 turbofans for Rolls-Royce F130 engines on each of the 76 B-52Hs in the active fleet. As the original TF33s from the early 1960s continue to wear down and spare parts become increasingly scarce, the Air Force says the engines will be “unsustainable” beyond 2030. The new engines…

Battlefield Hardline is one of the most unique entries in the franchise, as it’s not about a war. Instead, it features cops going on drug busts around Miami and L.A. It was released roughly a decade ago by this point, and it was never remastered or ported to modern consoles like the PS5. Since it is backwards compatible, there was seemingly no need for EA to do anything. However, EA recently announced that Battlefield Hardline would be delisted on PSN and the Xbox Store on May 22, making it impossible to buy on PS4 or Xbox One. After that, the…
