Distorted galaxy NGC 2442 can be found in the southern constellation of the flying fish, (Piscis) Volans. Located about 50 million light-years away, the galaxy’s two spiral arms extending from a pronounced central bar give it a hook-shaped appearance in this deep and colorful image, with foreground stars scattered across the telescopic field of view. The image also reveals the distant galaxy’s obscuring dust lanes, young blue star clusters and reddish star forming regions surrounding a core of yellowish light from an older population of stars. But the star forming regions seem more concentrated along the drawn-out (upper right) spiral arm. The distorted structure is likely the result of an ancient close encounter with a smaller galaxy that lies off top left of the frame. This telescopic field of view spans over 200,000 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 2442. via NASA https://ift.tt/YzbPU2L

Seth takes a closer look at Trump trying to distance himself from the Border Patrol commander, who oversaw the violent occupation of Minneapolis, amid an intense national backlash.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/teCMhkU6aC8 Trump REJECTED by World Leaders in Global Humiliation
Tommy and Ben explain why Trump backed off his threat to take Greenland by force and debate whether European leaders have finally found a playbook for how to push back, the backlash to Trump’s disgraceful denigration of NATO troops and their service in Afghanistan, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s bold attempt to break from the United States and forge a new international order. Then they cover the purge of top military leaders in China and widespread rumors of a coup attempt against Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jared Kushner’s much-derided PowerPoint presentation on the future of Gaza, new details about how the Iranian regime crushed the recent protests and why there may now be an even greater likelihood that the US bombs Iran (again), a humiliating and terrifying profile of Kash Patel’s first year at the FBI, and why a real estate forum in Saudi Arabia made us want to cry. Then Tommy speaks with Kenneth Rosen, author of Polar War: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic, about why the Arctic is becoming a geopolitical flashpoint.

Immigration was the issue holding the Republican coalition together.
Now it’s collapsing—and independents are walking away.
In this strategy breakdown, Rick Wilson, Joe Trippi, and Ryan Wiggins analyze polling shifts, culture-war fatigue, and why Trump’s playbook isn’t working anymore.
This is what political failure actually looks like.

In his latest #askian, Ian Bremmer weighs in on Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on Canada.
While the tariffs are unlikely to happen, Ian warns the fallout is real: trust is broken, tourism is down, and anger toward US leadership is rising across Canada.

In the vast Orion Molecular Cloud complex, several bright blue nebulas are particularly apparent. Pictured here in the center are two of the most prominent reflection nebulas – dust clouds lit by the reflecting light of bright embedded stars. The more famous nebula is M78, in the image center, cataloged over 200 years ago. To its upper left is the lesser known NGC 2071. Astronomers continue to study these reflection nebulas to better understand how interior stars form. The overall red glow is from diffuse hydrogen gas that covers much of the Orion complex that spans much of the constellation of Orion. Nearby in the greater complex, which lies about 1,500 light years away, are the Orion Nebula, the Horsehead Nebula, and Barnard’s Loop — partially seen here as the white band on the upper left. via NASA https://ift.tt/NpHdrYe

In today’s video, Chris Cillizza breaks down why Donald Trump may be entering very dangerous territory politically — and why the fallout from Minnesota could echo the collapse of George W. Bush’s presidency after 2004. 📉
Over the past few weeks, Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis has gone from a show of force to a full-blown political crisis. Two fatal shootings, public backlash, and sudden staff shakeups inside the administration have forced Trump into damage-control mode — and the polling numbers show it. ⚠️
Chris walks through:
📊 Trump’s sliding approval ratings — now dipping into the low 40s (and possibly headed lower)
🌎 Why immigration, once Trump’s strongest issue, is now turning against him
🔄 The striking historical parallel to Bush’s post–Katrina collapse with Republican voters
🗳️ How losing even a slice of his base could spell disaster for Republicans in the House and Senate
The big question: once voters leave, can Trump win them back — or is the damage already done?

https://www.youtube.com/watch/1N8o7Sp4jDU The Killing Of Alex Pretti Splits MAGA In Turning Point
Donald Trump caves to the national outrage over Alex Pretti’s killing, telling Governor Tim Walz that he’ll agree to allow for an impartial investigation and “look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota.” Lovett, on the ground in Minneapolis, joins Jon and Tommy to talk about what’s happening in the state, and to share reactions to the tragedy and Trump’s surprising about-face. Then they discuss Congressional Democrats’ demands for reforming DHS, which may lead to a partial government shutdown, and a wild New York Magazine piece about the president’s health.
