Going Off The Air
I’m flying to DC this afternoon for eight days of space stuff, culminating with a brief talk on space property rights at the International Astronautical Conference a week from tomorrow. I’ll have my laptop, but not sure how much time I’ll have to post. But be good in comments.

“We Are In A Permanent Coup”
Says Matt Taibbi.
I’ve never seen anything like it in my lifetime.

Clapper Implicates Obama
Hey, we were just following orders.
“Gun-Free” Zones
People in charge of them should be made personally liable.
Makes sense to me. If you’re going to deprive someone of their right to self defense, it should be your responsibility to make it actually safe, not just put up a sign.

A long read, but why Trump has Ukraine on the brain.

Mr. Trump goes to Washington.
[Update a few more minutes later]
The IG report on FISA abuse will be out on Friday, and someone needs to put Adam Schiff under oath.
