GOOD: A Fifth Circuit Case Could Jeopardize the Feds’ Commerce Clause Grip on Guns. “The court has agreed to rehear United States v. Squire en banc, reopening a major fight over whether Congress can use the Commerce Clause to criminalize firearm possession simply because a gun or ammunition once moved in interstate commerce. The Fifth Circuit’s rehearing order even drew a warning from Judge Stephen Higginson that the court had ‘welcomed the possibility’ of holding that Congress’ Commerce Clause power can’t support § 922(g).”

NO. NEXT QUESTION? Schools are rethinking whether every student needs a laptop.

MY DOC IS SUSPICIOUS OF THIS CHANGE: Considering statins? New US cholesterol guidelines may change your decision. “An estimated 21.5 million additional adults in the United States may now be eligible for statins under updated cholesterol treatment guidelines, according to a new study. The researchers aimed to estimate how many adults in the US would be considered eligible for statin therapy under the new 2026 blood cholesterol guidelines issued by the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and nine partnering medical societies, compared with the previous 2018 guidelines.”

IT’S A MYSTERY:

Hillary lost and The Clinton Foundation went broke

Biden lost and he can't get money to build his library

USAID was shut down and the DNC had to mortgage their HQ for money

Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

THE 21ST CENTURY ISN’T TURNING OUT AS I’D PLANNED: A 4,000-year-old disease is on the rise in this state thanks to armadillos. “Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is an illness many often relegate to the history books. Florida, however, has recorded 17 infections this year as of July 18, according to state health data. Of the 174 cases recorded nationwide in 2025, 36 occurred in the state, including 27 that were contracted locally rather than abroad.”

TDS HEADLINE OF THE YEAR: You just knew it would be from The New York Times because the Old Grey Lady is Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Central. It goes like this: “In Trump’s Economy, Job Gains Go to Women. That’s Not an Entirely Good Thing.” Yes, it really does say women getting jobs is “not an entirely good thing.”

Posting a headline like that by the NYT is like tossing chum in the water, for the Issues & Insights crew. They may be swimming miles away, but they smell this TDS manifestation instantly and go for it. You can read the result here. 

BRINGING BACK DRESS CODES: Alabama’s Tuskegee University demands students wear business suits, bans certain headwear in controversial new dress code.. “Dressing appropriately for class, meetings, and professional settings is not ‘White culture’ or an erasure of heritage. It is adult competence. Millions of Black professionals have long understood this without drama.”

A FRIEND OF A FRIEND:  Alyte Online, a cyberpunk noir tragedy of love, loss, revenge, and collapse. Set in the city of Cartesia, where everything and everyone is observed, the canonical story descends into a criminal underworld with prohibition-era human upgrades in illegal speakeasies, human harvesters, and a terrifying living myth awakening in the depths. At the center of it all, Alyte. Suffering through grief and searching for answers. An excavation of a world, her identity, and the boundary between what is witnessed and what remains unseen.
