Last Wednesday, Washington lawmakers rolled out House Bill 2320, a proposal that somehow manages to be redundant, vague, and constitutionally radioactive all at once. The pitch: crack down harder on so-called “ghost guns” by banning private use of 3D printers, CNC milling machines, and even digital files that could be used to make firearm parts. The execution? It’s even worse. Supporters of HB 2320 insist they’re just “closing loopholes.” The problem is those loopholes don’t really exist. Manufacturing “untraceable firearms” is already illegal under Washington law, a fact even local media reporting acknowledged. As KOMO News reported, lawmakers argue the…
The original version of this article was published on BikeRumor. Minnesota’s Salsa Cycles has been teasing the Wanderosa, a full-suspension gravel e-bike, since November. Well, today it has officially launched. Introducing the Wanderosa, a bike that marks Salsa’s (and possibly the bike industry’s) entry into full-suspension gravel e-bikes. The Wanderosa represents its fifth electric bike platform launched since February 2024. This new discipline-bending bike has a carbon fiber frame with a flex-stay design and gives the rider 110mm of rear travel, which is paired with a 120mm travel suspension fork. Salsa calls the Wanderosa its light electric full-suspension gravel bike. Using the…
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K.. Dhillon, who’s also the unofficial Second Amendment czar of the Trump administration as far as I’m concerned, is once again charging into the legal fray over a state-level gun control law. Dhillon and the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division have filed an amicus brief in Granata v. Thomas; a challenge to Massachusetts’ “Approved Firearms Roster.” For the moment, and at the time Granata was filed, the roster covered handguns approved for sale in the state. Under Chapter 135, though, the roster is supposed to include state-approved long guns as well.The roster is…
What initially looked like a tragic, chaotic home invasion in northeast Houston has now come into sharper—and uglier—focus. Police say two suspects have been charged with capital murder in the early-morning home invasion that killed 72-year-old Linda Martinez, and the details paint a picture of betrayal, criminal failure, and a system that didn’t stop it in time. According to Houston police, the shooting happened around 1:50 a.m. on January 26 at a home on Lockwood Drive. Investigators now say the suspects—Richard Mouton, 34, and Tajuana Thomas, 38—weren’t random burglars. Thomas had previously lived at the home after being released from…
Greenland said that it has warned the United States of its clear “red lines” that it will not cross in talks over its future with Washington. The island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has said that he won’t go into details, but that the “conclusion is already written.” Greenland has been on the Trump administration’s wish list of takeovers. The autonomous Danish territory has been at the center of a transatlantic rift since U.S. ruler Donald Trump announced plans to annex it, citing its mineral wealth and strategic location, while refusing to rule out force and threatening tariffs on opponents of…
Based on what we’ve seen (and heard), Shokz is making some big strides. The pioneer in bone-conduction headphones is expanding into the broader personal audio space with some of its recent releases, including its OpenFit family of earbuds. The latest from Shokz, the OpenFit Pro, might just be the brand’s best earbuds yet. Earlier this month at CES, I got some ears-on time with the award-winning OpenFit Pro headphones. And honestly, I wasn’t prepared to be as amazed by the audio performance as I was. OpenFit Pro Earbuds: What’s New The OpenFit Pro ($250) is the first OpenFit model to…
This article originally appeared on The Inertia. A pair of lost hikers rewarded their rescuers’ efforts by sticking them with a hotel bill. To add insult to injury, the pair also made off with two headlamps that had been lent to them during their retrieval. As Wasdale Mountain Rescue explained in a Facebook post, the rescue occurred on Dec. 30, 2025, after two hikers became lost in dangerous weather conditions on England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike. The resulting operation, which Wasdale Mountain Rescue tactfully described as “avoidable,” took 7 hours to complete. Upon the hikers’ safe return, the bar manager…
Deployments of the United States National Guard to cities across the country have cost American taxpayers roughly $600 million, according to new data published by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).The CBO, which for decades has provided Congress with economic and budget analyses, said Wednesday that to date upwards of $589 million has been spent by the Trump administration’s deployment of Guard soldiers into cities including Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Memphis, as well as Washington, D.C. CBO estimates that the totality of those deployments, excluding the deployment to New Orleans that occurred at the end of last year, cost approximately $496…
The Ford Explorer has been an SUV staple for over 35 years. Early versions were capable off-roaders featuring truck-like amenities, such as a solid rear axle, two-speed transfer cases, and even five-speed manual transmissions. But, like many longer-running SUV nameplates, Explorer evolved. Nowadays, it offers car-like unibody construction, independent suspension, and a more compliant on-road demeanor. There’s even an on-road performance ST version. While the sporty ST lives on for 2026, Ford is also now offering a version focused on taming trails versus pounding pavement. Enter the 2026 Explorer Tremor. In short: The Explorer, like many other Ford truck and…

Iraq War veteran Keith McCarter felt something was off in 2010, about a year after he left the Army. It was a feeling that most healthy 25-year-olds never have to experience. “I started to feel super weak and was not eating,” McCarter said. “Come to find out, I was in end-stage heart failure.” He needed a new heart but was too weak for a heart transplant. Doctors decided surgery would be best to install a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), a mechanical pump, with the goal of giving McCarter’s heart long-term circular function. McCarter functioned well with the LVAD for three years, along with…
