The bad science and bad policy at the heart of it.
[Afternoon update]
Climate science is baaaaack.
This is one of the biggest (and most needed) regulatory rollbacks in history.

Indicting Barack?
How it might be done.
One can dream.
After what Bongino said recently, I wonder if there is any possibility of getting at the truth of what happened during the Clinton administration, including the Foster “suicide,” even if no one is indicted?
[Afternoon update]
Definitely: Gina Haspel should be investigated for covering up the Russia-collusion hoax.
[Tuesday-morning update]
The Russia-collusion hoax was worse than you think.
IDK, I think it was pretty bad. On the other hand, I continue to think it hyperbolic to call it “treasonous.” Seditious, yes, but not that.
Starship’s Fate
Well, it’s next weekend, and we’re back from Vegas. Here‘s a good article on the state of play for the beast. I suspect that the hed wasn’t written by the author.

This seems related, somehow. Sarah Hoyt’s thoughts on The Man Who Sold The Moon.

Trump’s Past Two Weeks
…were very consequential.
The Late Bill Moyers
An Elmer Gantry of the new age.
If he was still active, he’d be one of the people whose funding got cut off by DOGE.
The Global Baby Bust
Three long-shot ways of solving it. One of them is space.
Unconditional Surrender
A history of our fecklessness since the end of WW II.
The problem with Trump is that, despite his talk about “getting tired of winning,” he, like the pseudo-pacifist Democrats (I say “pseudo,” because they aren’t really anti-war–they’re just on the other side) doesn’t want to win wars, but to “end” them. I get that he doesn’t like wars, but sometimes they are necessary, and the only way, ultimately, to end them is to win decisively, in a way that the combatants either no longer exist, or are no longer willing to continue to combat. It remains to be seen whether that’s the case in Iran, but I fear that they are just biding their time.
We Knew It
…and now they’re proving it.
A righteous rant from Jeffrey Carter on the lies and preening condescension of the “elite.”
The Marchers
I have to say it's so heartwarming to see so many people out today celebrating King Donald's birthday. #LongLiveTheKing #Blessed

The Real War Has Finally Begun
A good analysis of what’s been happening over the past day in Iran.
1. The Israel-Iran war: The first day.

We are now about 15 hours after Israel launched what it labels a *preventive strike* against the Islamic Republic of Iran – targeting its nuclear facilities and ballistic missile sites.
Here’s a short recap of what’s happened – and what…
It seemed pretty clear that something was going to happen when we evacuated embassies in the region.
[Update early afternoon]
Iran has been waging war on us for over 45 years, while we've been pretending they weren't so we didn't have to do anything about it. We got away with it because they hadn't yet developed the capability to hurt us other than killing our soldiers in the region (it certainly wasn't…

Iran has been launching retaliatory missile strikes against Tel Aviv, with most of them intercepted. I don’t think I’d want to be on Kharg Island on any day, but definitely not today.
