CDR SALAMANDER: No, I can’t Wait Until the Full NDAA is Out …just good stuff to report, really.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS LIMITING WOMEN’S SPORTS TO WOMEN.

Also: Federal campaign spending limits violate the First Amendment.

And now birthright citizenship: “Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.” Not really a surprise, but a disappointment.

Congress can still make it a felony to enter the United States for the purpose of having a child, or to facilitate that, of course.

CHANGE: North Carolina lawmakers override governor’s vetoes to pass sweeping DEI bans.

NOW ON SUBSTACK, MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUPREME COURT’S SLAUGHTER OPINION: Bringing Back the ‘Spoils System?’ Yes, Please. A better name would be an “accountability system.” And it’s just the beginning.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Johns Hopkins layoffs, financial problems come as university is mired in Title VI controversy. “WBAL-TV reported on June 26 that many of the affected employees served in administrative roles and that school sources linked the layoffs to the Trump administration’s cuts to federal research funding. Johns Hopkins lost about $500 million in research funding in 2025 over widespread anti-Semitism on its campus.”

Laying off administrators?

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!

One would think that the the idiocy of the left wouldn't surprise me anymore but this whole thing where Europeans actually think not using AC will make the weather cooler in their lifetimes is absolutely bananas.

DON SURBER: Obama’s red revolution: Communists take credit for the works of capitalism. “The thin-skinned Obama was the first communist president. No one cared that he was black. What mattered was he was red.”

Learn these lessons now, while it’s cheap to do so.

THEY’RE AWFUL: Climate Activists ‘Exaggerating,’ Liberal Journalist Says, Denouncing ‘Shrill Eco-Catastrophism:’ ‘Nose-ringed Just Stop Oil pests’ hurt environmental movement with mainstream voters.

I’VE BEEN POINTING THIS OUT FOR A WHILE: America Didn’t Lose Its Tradesmen by Accident.

NATE SILVER: Is the vibecession real — or is the survey broken? A shift to online polling and undersampling of Republicans are skewing America’s most-cited measure of consumer sentiment.

Hiring for new college graduates is pretty grim. And, adding insult to injury, not only are their applications screened by AI, but now the initial interviews are conducted by AI. Sometimes it’s even an AI avatar. That can be demoralizing:

Even though it’s a video interview, I’m still keen to impress.

When I log on, my interviewer, whose name I didn’t catch, looks relaxed and friendly.

He asks carefully articulated questions, listens intently, and even asks follow ups regarding particular examples I mention.

But then, strange things start happening.

He takes a while to process what I’m saying, and his facial expression remains unchanged. Then, halfway through asking me to explain a particular work scenario, he disappears without another word. He’s an AI – and he’s crashed.

Bad vibes there for sure.

OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.

NOW ON SUBSTACK, MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUPREME COURT’S SLAUGHTER OPINION: Bringing Back the ‘Spoils System?’ Yes, Please. A better name would be an “accountability system.” And it’s just the beginning.

YES, PLEASE: Can Trump v. Slaughter be Used to Challenge the Continued Legality of Executive Agencies Congress Intended to be Independent? If the laws requiring such agencies to be independent are unconstitutional, it may be that very existence of those agencies is also now illegal.

FASTER, PLEASE: Scientists Discover Ultrasound May Stop Arthritis Before It Starts.

IT DOES WONDERS FOR ME: Reproduction affects health—and so does biological sex.

SEDUCTIVE AI: AI companionship may reshape how teens learn conflict, boundaries and empathy.

EH, I’M NOT SURE. Feds Want to Drop Requirement for Autonomous Cars to Have a Brake Pedal.
