While the Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal is back on track, we get a rare report about a #Falcon9 not working as planned - and the rocket being grounded for now. "During today’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink satellites, the second stage experienced an off-nominal condition during preparation for the deorbit burn," reports https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2018485314508198331: "The vehicle then performed as designed to successfully passivate the stage. The first two MVac burns were nominal and safely deployed all 25 satellites to their intended orbit. Teams are reviewing data to determine root cause and corrective actions before returning to flight".

When DHS, USCIS, and DOGE announced the overhaul of the SAVE program,
they explicitly linked the effort to a campaign to combat the “taint” of noncitizen voter fraud,
a long-standing claim tied to the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
By all appearances, the administration is poised to use the SAVE program to prop up these false claims,
and sympathetic local officials may deploy SAVE to concoct evidence.
This move poses serious risks to vo…

Another reminder about 2020: the Hennepin County atty initially brought softball charges that would have resulted in moderate sentences (because they were weak) and probably wouldn’t have held up in court anyway (because they were mismatched to the crime).
Attorney General Keith Ellison snatched the investigation away from the county and brought real charges that really stuck — and he had the backing to do that because of the sheer volume of protest.

Oil residues can travel over 5,000 miles on ocean debris, study finds
When oily plastic and glass, as well as rubber, washed onto Florida beaches in 2020, a community group shared the mystery online, attracting scientists' attention. Working together, they linked the black residue-coated debris to a 2019 oil slick along Brazil's coastline. Using ocean current models and chemical analysis, the team explains in Environmental Science & Technology how some of the oily material managed to travel over 5,200 miles (8,500 kilometers) by clinging to debris.

On a related note, a reminder of the timeline of 2020:
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent immediately after the police murdered George Floyd.
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the video became public.
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the protests started.
Things turned chaotic and violent when they brought charges against Chauvin, and the police flipped out and went on a rage-fueled bender of mass tear-gassing the peaceful protests.

It’s lost in the noise now, but I felt very clearly on that first day of real violence in 2020 — and still maintain now — that the Minneapolis Police turned the protests violent to send a signal to the city that charging police with a crime was unacceptable.
“You hurt us? We hurt your city.” That was the message, clear as day. That’s why police instigated and fomented violence. That’s why they stopped firefighters from putting out fires.
Yes, I am still angry.

Donald Trump didn't say he wanted to fix elections everywhere out of some altruistic vision of a more free, more democratic society.
He said he wanted to take over the voting in at least 15 places.
We know that means he is targeting the specific cities, counties, and districts that saved American democracy in 2020 and that could destroy Republican majorities in November.
