“A suspected attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels [sic] targeted a ship in the Red Sea on Thursday, officials said, as the militants increase their missile fire targeting Israel. The attack off the coast of Hodeida follows an Israeli strike last week that killed the rebels’ [sic] prime minister along with several officials. The Houthis have been using cluster munitions in the missile attacks on Israel — which open up with smaller explosives that can be harder to intercept, raising the chances of strikes as Israel prepares for a new ground offensive in its war on Hamas that’s decimated the Gaza Strip. The attack Thursday saw an ‘unknown projectile’ land off the side of a vessel as electronic interference was particularly intense, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It added that the ship and crew were safe after the apparent assault.” (09/04/25)

“With U.S. gross debt now at a staggering $37 trillion — roughly equivalent to the combined debt of all other major advanced economies — Washington is trapped in a fiscal doom loop of its own making. Decades of bipartisan overspending have pushed the nation to a point where a mere 1% increase in mean Treasury interest rates adds $370 billion to annual debt service costs. The arithmetic is unforgiving. Yet, Donald Trump’s second administration is doubling down, pursuing policies that risk accelerating the crisis.” (09/04/25)

“Over the Labor Day weekend, instead of enjoying the last days of summer with family and friends, Democrats and other Trump-deranged folk had nothing better to do than indulge in sick fantasies about the president’s death. Hashtags like #trumpisdead and #whereistrump trended on X, with countless TikToks, Google searches and posts saying ‘TRUMP DIED’ garnering millions of likes and views. This was not a harmless meme or politics as usual. It was seeded by anonymous left-wing social media accounts and amplified by journalists and influencers to create a permission structure to fantasize about Trump’s demise. Despite photos of Trump golfing with his grandchildren and his numerous long missives on Truth Social — including about the landscapers who ruined the new limestone paving in the Rose Garden — the rumor went viral.” (09/04/25)

“Hundreds more bodies have been recovered from houses in mountain villages destroyed by a major earthquake in Afghanistan early this week, pushing the death toll to over 2,200, a Taliban government spokesman said Thursday. The shallow, magnitude-6.0 quake struck the mountainous and remote eastern part of the country late Sunday, leveling villages and trapping people under rubble. Most of the casualties have been in Kunar province, where people typically live in wood and mud-brick houses along steep river valleys separated by high mountains. Some 98% percent of the buildings in the province were damaged or destroyed, according to an assessment issued Thursday by the Islamic Relief charity. Aid agencies said they were sorely in need of staff and supplies to tend to the region’s survivors. Muhammad Israel said the quake unleashed a landslide that buried his home, livestock, and belongings in Kunar.” (09/04/25)

“While the public’s attention this summer has been drawn to masked ICE agents arresting folks without warrants, presidentially imposed sales taxes on goods emanating from foreign countries that have been invalidated by three federal courts, and the fruitless Kabuki dance between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, last month, the federal government continues its slow assault on the Constitution at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.” (09/04/25)

“We were having dinner with two former NASA employees, both good friends of ours, when we learned that President Donald Trump had just designated Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy interim NASA administrator. Duffy’s response, posted on X, was typical of so much else that we’ve seen from the Trump administration: ‘Honored to accept this mission. Time to take over space. Let’s launch.’ Duffy’s few words sum up almost everything about NASA under the Trump administration. They promise bravado, but it’s hard not to notice that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” (09/04/25)

“A man wrongly convicted of murder who spent nearly three decades in prison after being falsely implicated by a woman who has since confessed to the crime was released Thursday from a Minnesota prison. The day before, state District Court Judge Marta Chou had vacated Bryan Hooper Sr.’s first-degree murder conviction. He was released Thursday morning from Stillwater Correctional Facility, a Great North Innocence Project spokesperson said. … It wasn’t immediately clear when or whether the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office plans to prosecute the woman who officials said confessed to the killing. She is in prison in Georgia for an assault-related crime and will be released in about four years.” (09/04/25)
