IT’S ALWAYS OKAY TO MOCK GRIFTERS:

Speaking as a woman who had to start over at ~60 and is only occasionally mocked, I'd say the #1 difference is I didn't go to the NYT and suggest that American taxpayers owed me $272,000 per year to save me from my plight. https://t.co/zW7UGjT5ZT

And this time mockery is her getting off light:

Kate Puzey was murdered in 2009 after she reported that a Beninese teacher contracting with the Peace Corps was raping his students.

Cowan, the Peace Corps director in Benin at the time, failed to preserve her anonymity.

I don't feel sorry for her for a variety of reasons. https://t.co/bMn3FjXNZY

THE POWER LINE WEEK IN PICTURES: Frauds All the Way Down.

THAT WOULD BE A START, I SUPPOSE: Senators Would Be Barred From Using Prediction Markets Under New Bill.

Senator Bernie Moreno, an Ohio Republican, introduced a bill that would prohibit sitting senators from participating in prediction markets.

Prediction markets are platforms that allow users to wager on the outcomes of real‑world events, including elections, economic data releases and geopolitical developments.

The proposal, introduced Friday, would amend Senate rules to bar members from entering into any financial agreement in which a payout depends on whether a specific future event occurs.

I concluded long ago that the assets of elected officials (and for any appointed position requiring Senate approval) should all go into the same blind trust. Any returns over the 7% that private investors hope to earn would go to deficit reduction.

It’s patriotic!

I know Elon isn’t a Nazi because he wasn’t funded by the SPLC. https://t.co/auPhHvP6zk

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Well, this is embarrassing: The Lunar Gateway’s primary modules are corroded.

How could both a module being provided by Northrop Grumman, a major US defense contractor, and I-HAB from Europe be corroded? It seems like a fantastic claim. However, half a dozen sources who worked on or near the Lunar Gateway program confirmed to Ars that the corrosion Isaacman mentioned was real and serious.

In a statement, Northrop confirmed the issue as well. “Using NASA-approved processes, Northrop Grumman is completing repairs to HALO after a manufacturing irregularity,” a company spokesperson told Ars. “We expect to complete repairs by the end of the third quarter. HALO can still be repurposed for any mission, and it’s the most mature technology to support a deep space or lunar habitat.”

By referring to a “manufacturing irregularity,” Northrop answered the central mystery here: how corrosion could appear in both modules. This is because a French-Italian space and defense company, Thales Alenia Space, built the primary structure of HALO for Northrop Grumman. The module was delivered from Italy to the United States about a year ago.

Not a good look, Thales.

IMO this is backwards. It is the left that needs to rebuild trust with us. The onus is on it, at least as far as academia is concerned. Rufo is not the problem there. https://t.co/WEmQLV7gdx
