MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN: Trump signs a law returning whole milk to school lunches.
YES.
Something really, really, really bad is going on in Minneapolis, and the mayor and governor are risking everything to protect it. https://t.co/4YBWIWHmO2

THEY’RE JUST LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE.
Look, the moment ICE agents show up in Minneapolis, they’re just as Minnesotan as people that have been there for generations.
I’ve been repeatedly told that’s how this works. https://t.co/4ooEI8j9Tr

THIS LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT BY KNOXVILLE’S OWN VICTOR ASHE: Suit disputing how Yale picks trustees could reach state Supreme Court. Yale rigged its system; now a measure of accountability may obtain.
STARMER SEEMS TO BE SCARED OF THIS YOUNG WOMAN:
Holy sh*t.
I’ve been banned from traveling to the UK. They revoked my ETA.

GOOD: Victor Davis Hanson recovers after surgery.. “It was cancer surgery, and Victor had a part of his lung removed, and that’s major surgery, and I think it’s fair to say the surgery was successful. It got what it was looking for.”
ONLY SURPRISING TO AMERICAN LEFTISTS: Capture of Maduro Wildly Popular in Latin America.
MATTHEW YGLESIAS: GET SOME DRESS SHIRTS THAT FIT! “I want to address the young men of America on the subject of buttoning your top button and wearing a necktie: If this is uncomfortable, that’s because your shirt doesn’t fit. It is annoying that simple S/M/L/XL sizing makes it kind of a crapshoot as to whether any given dress shirt will have appropriate length sleeves for your arms and fit your midsection and also your neck. But if you go to Brooks Brothers or Charles Tyrwhitt (just to name two stores that exist in most cities), they size their shirts with separate neck and arm lengths, and you can get one that fits. Or you can go to Proper Cloth or another “made to measure” place where they’ll sell you a shirt that fits exactly. Unfortunately, all of these options are a little more expensive than what you’ll pay for a shirt that doesn’t fit. But you either don’t need to wear a tie very often, in which case getting one shirt that fits is not a major investment, or else you do need to wear a tie frequently, in which case you shouldn’t be uncomfortable all the time.”
This is good advice.
I have always had a fairly big neck, even when I was skinny and didn’t lift weights; when I was in college I generally covered that my top button wasn’t buttoned by pulling my tie up. Now that I do lift weights, my neck is big (19 inches), and shirts sized for my neck fit me like a tent since they assume you have a big neck because you’re fat, not because you do high pulls and deadlifts and farmer’s carries. I get some shirts custom made at a local fancy clothing shop. I don’t wear a tie all that often, but that means that when I do, the occasion is important and I want to look nice. Shirts that fit aren’t that much more expensive, and they look a lot better. In fact, I remember John Malloy of Dress for Success fame saying that most people can’t tell much difference between an okay suit and an expensive one, but that it’s easy to tell the difference between a cheap shirt and an expensive one.

DEPOSE HIM AND PLACE MINNESOTA UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL UNDER THE INSURRECTION ACT:
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
I don’t say this lightly, but everyone needs to watch this.
I think we just witnessed Tim Walz incite an insurrection. He is trying to paint ICE as the equivalent to the Gestapo, claiming they are hunting down all “people of color” and “asking for papers”.

FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN:
⚡️When global maritime flows evacuate without formal blockade, it confirms operators now price in kinetic action as near-term probable.
This is where capital, cargo, and risk converge to front-run escalation. It is not theory. It is energy in motion.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
WELL, THAT POINT SEEMS INARGUABLE: The US really wants a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030. ‘Achieving this future requires harnessing nuclear power,’ NASA chief says.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON SINCE LUNCHTIME: Verizon still working to resolve network issue snarling cellphone service. Mine was out for a while; I know some people who still don’t have service.
UPDATE: My phone just got a bunch of texts from around 2 pm which suggests to me that they’ve fixed the outage, or at least a major chunk of it, just now.
