OPEN THREAD: It’s a groovy Tuesday.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Can Canada get to orbit? Companies NordSpace and ProtoSpace hope to launch country’s 1st space mission.

I SUSPECT THE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE: FBI launches criminal investigations of John Brennan, James Comey over Trump-Russia probe: DOJ sources.

HMM: Cough Medicine May Protect Against Some of Parkinson’s Worst Symptoms.

THEY HATE YOU AND WANT YOUR LIFE TO BE WORSE.

This is not just a minor quirk. This is the manifestation of their hatred for normal people and a desire to cause them harm. We see it. https://t.co/iRJr6bQjuv

ANOTHER WIN FOR TRUMP, AND CONFUSION TO HIS ENEMIES:

🚨 OMG: Now a LIBERAL Supreme Court justice is trying to teach Justice Ketanji Jackson how this whole "judicial" thing works…

Jackson is the ONLY dissent. Sotomayor has to remind Jackson, for some reason, that the case before them is NOT about what Jackson thought it was.

I don’t know what happened behind closed doors in the Supreme Court over the last month, but it seems like everyone has had more than enough of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nonsense. https://t.co/h21mylbCc0

Though the enemies seem to have supplied the confusion themselves.

OFF-ROAD: I Took the 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4X AEV Ultimate Build on Overland Expo PNW’s Rigorous Off-Road Course. Here’s How It Went.

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM: Women for Gun Rights Takes The Fight To Washington D.C.

LOL, “REAL VICTIMS.” YOU MEAN PERPETRATORS. No, British Muslims were not the ‘real victims’ of 7/7: Two decades on, Islamist extremism remains a far more urgent threat than so-called Islamophobia.

HMM: Young brood-parasitic cowbirds may seek out unrelated adult females as role models.

MAHA: American kids have become increasingly unhealthy over nearly two decades, new study finds.

THIS SOUNDS RIGHT: Running injuries often strike suddenly, not gradually: Study challenges understanding of overuse injuries. I’ve never been much of a runner, though I’m running a bit at the moment. Basically sprints for intervals, not running distance. Sprinting flat-out feels very freeing to me; running for distance and pacing myself feels like plodding work.

K12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Transgender HS coach who resigned over porn video admits he’s the one who sent it.

Her sister tried to give her a sob story and Helen was like don’t care, don’t touch my stuff.

I THINK THIS HAS BEEN UNDERPLAYED: Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ overhauls student loans, introduces higher ed reforms.

TIT FOR TAT IS THE ONLY VIABLE LONG-TERM STRATEGY FOR ENFORCING NORMS AMONG REPEAT PLAYERS:

I’M DEEPLY SKEPTICAL OF THESE REPORTS:

If @realDonaldTrump is suckered into supporting amnesty, he will make a fool of himself to the mortification of his friends and delight of his enemies.

Here’s one reason:

IS THERE ANYTHING TRUMP CAN’T DO? Mexicans Are Now Protesting Immigration.

HE HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN BEING JEWISH AND BEING A DEMOCRAT. HE CHOSE TO BE A DEMOCRAT. ‘Quite Shocking to Us’: Local Parents Fighting ‘Cesspool’ of Anti-Semitism in Philly Schools Say Josh Shapiro’s Office Stopped Meeting With Them. “Philadelphia’s public school system, according to documents provided to the Free Beacon, teaches identity politics and hosts radical pro-Hamas employees.”

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Take a political time-out, Elon Musk: ‘America Party’ rant proves even your genius has its limits.

LOL: “Here’s the viral video the article is about. It’s exactly the video you’d expect from a 24-year-old barre instructor and fitness influencer who studied political science and communications. It’s what I’d have said at age 24.”

JOSH BLACKMAN: The Texas Law Deans Provide A Weak Defense of the ABA’s Accreditation Role: If this is the best the law deans can muster, SCOTX should seriously reconsider what value the ABA provides.

A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Trump cuts millions in taxpayer funding for pushing COVID ‘cover-up:’ Springer Nature faced criticism for thousands of retractions and allegedly censoring content to appease Chinese government.
