Neil de Grasse Tyson says something smart.
I’m so glad we have smart science man to warn us against the dangers of conquering the moon people and taking their cheese https://t.co/ZrFGE6otC8

To The Columbia Journalism Review
An open letter from Matt Taibbi.
They thought they could get away with this because Trump wasn’t supposed to be reelected, and if he hadn’t been, it would never have seen the light of day. And “journalism” continues its corrupt downward slide into the abyss.
Trump’s Second-Term Space Policy
Yes, it’s an ongoing mess.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Yes, putting a nuclear reactor (in fact, several of them) on the Moon is a great idea, but it’s out of context with the policy mess. If we want to put reactors on the Moon, we have to come up with a scalable, affordable transportation infrastructure to get not only them, but lots of things there. We don’t currently have one, and no one in the administration seems to be concerned about it.
The Classified Appendix To The Durham Report
Margot Cleveland has gone through it, so you don’t have to:

[Update a couple minutes later]
🚨SMOKING GUN: The declassified Durham Annex confirms Hillary Clinton personally approved the plan to frame Trump with Russian hacking US election claims — to “distract from her missing emails” and “demonize Trump.”

[Update a while later]
This is the smoking gun evidence inside Durham annex. If it is authenticated by further investigation it means liberal mega donor George Soros’ team knew the whole Clinton plan for Russiagate hoax four days before FBI opened up probe. And so did Obama, Brennan, and Comey. pic.twitter.com/eN7gJ9h8Ri

Militant Islam
How it created the constitutional monarchy in England.
It’s ironic that now England has invited the Muslims in to take it over.
“Journalists” Covering The Middle East
…are in league with terrorists.
There’s nothing new about this.
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.
Happy Moon Day
I’ll be on The Space Show at noon PDT to talk about the 56th anniversary.
Science Fiction
What if it’s our best window to the future? A discussion with David Brin.
He’s more down on lunar resources than I am, but I agree with his critique of Artemis.
Gettysburg
Today is the anniversary of the third day of the battle.
The Battle of Gettysburg: Day 3 🧵

1/ On July 3, 1863, Gettysburg reached its climax, with 140,000 troops locked in a desperate struggle. From Culp’s Hill to the fields south of town, Day 3’s battles—culminating in Pickett’s Charge—produced over 15,000 casualties, deciding the… pic.twitter.com/jVvFZhHIQR
Vicksburg fell the next day, on the Fourth of July, marking the beginning of the end for the South. Vicksburg refused to celebrate the holiday for seven decades.
