Ron Paul: Making Imperialism Great Again?

Authored by Ron Paul via the Mises Institute,

It did not take long for President Trump to change the reason for sending the US military to “arrest” Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The allegation that President Maduro ran a drug cartel was front and center in the months leading up to President Maduro’s “arrest.” Afterwards, President Trump said the invasion was about Venezuela’s oil and announced plans for the US government to send American oil companies into Venezuela.

About a week after the invasion, President Trump had a meeting with executives from American oil companies to discuss plans for Venezuela. Some of the companies’ executives at the meeting were less than enthusiastic about developing Venezuelan oil. One reason for this is that, since the Venezuelan government nationalized oil activities twenty years ago, fracking has made the US the world’s leading producer of oil and natural gas. Rebuilding the oil industry in Venezuela could cost as much as a billion dollars for an uncertain payoff. Among the complications, Venezuelan oil does not easily flow though pipelines unless it is cut with solvents, making it more expensive to transport.

In his first press conference after the Venezuelan first couple was seized, President Trump said: “We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition.” He later stated that Maduro’s successor Vice President Delcy Rodriguez would “pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro,” if she does not adequately fulfill the US government’s demands.

Following the invasion of Venezuela, there have been suggestions that President Trump will direct the US military to invade other countries as well. For example, Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio said, “if I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned.”

To no one’ s surprise, Senator Lindsey Graham was delighted by the possibility that Venezuela was just the first of many regime change wars President Trump will wage. Senator Graham even got President Trump to autograph a Make Iran Great Again hat. Many Iranian victims of the Shah of Iran’s secret police might disagree with Senator Graham on whether having the CIA install another puppet government in Iran will make that country great.

President Trump’s newfound love of regime change wars may be one reason why he is seeking to increase the military budget to 1.5 trillion dollars. President Trump claims that tariff revenue can fund the increase, but that is simply not possible. The majority of the increase in spending would come from other taxes, including the Federal Reserve’s regressive and hidden inflation tax.

A recent poll by the Pew Research Center found that there is much less support for an “activist” US foreign policy among Americans under 50 than among older Americans. This is the case among both Democrats and Republicans. In fact, the differing view on foreign policy among younger people was a major factor behind President Trump’s support from younger people in 2024. Continued betrayal by President Trump of his no more regime change wars pledge will cause the president and the Republicans to lose support among younger voters.

President Trump Unveils 'The Great Healthcare Plan'

President Donald Trump unveiled what he's calling "The Great Healthcare Plan" on Thursday morning, promising to fundamentally restructure how Americans purchase and pay for healthcare by cutting out insurance company middlemen and putting money directly into consumers' hands.

Trump’s plan targets prescription drug prices, insurance premiums, and industry transparency. At the heart of the plan is a radical shift in how healthcare subsidies work—rather than payments flowing to insurance companies, the government would send money directly to individuals who would then shop for their own coverage.

"Instead of putting the needs of big corporations and special interests first, our plan finally puts you first and puts more money in your pocket," Trump said in his announcement. "The government is going to pay the money directly to you. It goes to you, and then you take the money and buy your own healthcare. Nobody's ever heard of that before, and that's the way it is."

A central component of the plan locks in discounts on prescription drugs through Trump's Most Favored Nation Drug Pricing Agreement.

“Now, when you hear about that, for 40 years they've been trying to do it, but they never were able to do it,” Trump said. “No other president was able to do it. I got every other country to approve it.”

He added, “By the use of tariffs and other things, they all approved it. Nobody else got it. No other president got it.”

The president projected dramatic savings, stating that "prescription drugs will come way, way down" with some medications seeing price reductions of between 300-500% starting this month at TrumpRx.gov. Rather than Americans paying the highest drug prices globally, Trump promised they would now pay the lowest international rate.

"The lowest price in the world is what you're gonna pay," he promised. "Before you were paying the highest price in the world by far, and the politicians did nothing about it."

Trump also took aim at Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

“Obamacare was designed to make insurance companies rich,” he said.

“I call it the Unaffordable Care Act, with billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies that helped their stock prices skyrocket over 1,700% as you paid more money for healthcare every single year. More and more, the premiums went higher and higher.”

According to Trump, his plan would redirect those subsidies from insurers to individual health savings accounts, allowing consumers to purchase their own coverage. 

"You'll make a great deal. You'll get better healthcare for less money," Trump promised.

Additional premium reductions would come from eliminating "giant kickbacks to insurance brokers and corporate middlemen" and fully funding the Cost Sharing Reduction program, a previously neglected provision that could cut premiums on popular Obamacare plans by 10 to 15 percent.

Another key component of the plan is mandatory transparency measures to expose industry pricing practices. The plan would require insurance companies to publish rate and coverage comparisons "in very plain English" and disclose detailed information about claim payouts versus profits.

"In other words, you will be able to watch the scam," Trump said, suggesting the disclosures would reveal industry profiteering.

The plan would require insurers to disclose claim denial rates and appeal outcomes, while forcing any hospital or insurer that accepts Medicare or Medicaid to publicly post all prices. The goal is to eliminate surprise costs and give patients real visibility into what they’re paying for.

President Trump said transparency would let patients shop smarter. “You are never surprised, and you can easily shop for a better deal or better care,” he explained, adding that consumers would end up with “a better deal and better care.” Invoking the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant, Trump argued that full price visibility would drive competition and push costs down.

While Trump can implement some measures through executive action, he acknowledged he can’t do this alone. 

“I’m calling on Congress to pass this framework into law without delay, have to do it right now, so that we can get immediate relief to the American people, the people I love,” he said. 

More details about the plan can be found on the White House website

"The Left Is Coming For Us"; Larry Klayman Warns "It's Going To Get More And More Violent"

Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,

Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch USA, has long predicted (along with other top intel experts) increasing violence from the Left in a Marxist style Bolshevik Revolution.  

As money is cut off by the Trump Administration and legal pressure mounts for prosecuting Democrats for everything from fraud to sedition, you can expect the Left to dramatically increase the violence to try to destabilize America. Klayman explains, “Here’s what’s going to happen..."

"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem has a death warrant on her.  They are chanting ‘kill Kristi Noem.’  

It’s going to get more and more violent.  The more they are checked legally, the more set back on their heels legally, the more violent they become, that is why the American people need to arm up.  They need to be prepared. 

Don’t use weapons offensively, but defensively. 

The Left is coming for us. . .. It’s going to get extremely violent.  That is their intention. 

That is their desire, and that is what’s going to happen.”

What got the Left to increase the violence?  Klayman says, “I believe the trigger was Venezuela a week or so ago..."

"  We knew that was going to have a ripple effect, and it means business.  The President has cut off money, not just to Cuba, Iran and China with regard to oil revenues, but it shows his strength of resolve, and they frankly freak out over that. 

Then there are the ICE activities in Minnesota, which is one of the most corrupt and left-leaning states in this country. 

The Left is panicking, and they were always going to go to violence.  That is their modus operandi. 

That is the Bolshevik way of doing things.  That’s Karl Marx, and the way the Soviet Union was brought down by the communists. 

These people are communists.  They are Islamists.  There are good Muslims, but these are not those. 

 They are united in the form of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz and that crazy mayor Jacob Frey.  They are using Minnesota as ground zero to do this.”

Other big legal news is a grand jury empaneled in Florida, which is going to look into partisan investigations on President Trump, including an FBI raid of his home at Mar-a-Lago in 2022. Klayman says:

“We do have a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, which is the same district where I practice, and it is also the same district where Judge Aileen Cannon is.  She is probably the one who empaneled this grand jury. 

She found President Trump did not commit any violations with regard to the documents found at Mar-a-Lago.  There is a reason why it was filed in Fort Pierce.”

Klayman says some Republicans in Congress are not totally committed to stopping the fraud and crime of the Left.  Klayman points out:

“Congresswoman Nancy Mace went to the oversight committee and asked for a subpoena to be issued for Ilhan Omar with regard to marrying her brother, with regard to tax fraud and all kinds of illegal acts.  

Congressmen James Comer and Jim Jordan denied the request of Mace.  That is unbelievable!”

There is much more in the 42-minute interview.

DNC Launches Massive Voter Registration Effort Ahead Of Midterms After GOP Makes Gains

Authored by Chase Smith via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Jan. 13 announced a new voter registration initiative it said will be its largest financial investment in registration, launching first in Arizona and Nevada as Democrats look ahead to the 2026 midterm elections.

The program, called “When We Count,” is built around a paid, part-time youth fellowship and a series of national voter registration pushes.

The DNC said it will train hundreds of young supporters to register tens of thousands of new voters, with early work focused on what it called priority congressional districts in the two states. The committee described the effort as a seven-figure investment but did not specify the exact amount in its announcement.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin framed the launch as an early move to shape the midterm landscape and expand the party’s organizing pipeline.

The midterms are here, and at the DNC, we refuse to let anybody else dictate this election season—we’re setting the tone,” Martin said.

He said young people have told him they want to be involved and want leaders “who actually show up for them when it counts.”

The DNC is pitching the initiative as both an electoral program and an organizing training effort. In its announcement, the committee said it is making voter registration a top nationwide priority this cycle and argued that “partisan efforts are essential to reversing recent registration trends, winning in upcoming cycles, and training the next generation of Democratic organizers.”

Martin’s statement also cast the initiative as a response to Republican success in the field of voter registration.

Our answer is simple: We’re going to register voters, train organizers, empower young people, and make sure they have the tools to shape their future.

Party officials on a press call Tuesday also referenced their growing gap in partisan voter registration nationally, noting states like Florida, which had about 1 million more registered Republicans than Democrats in 2024, and Pennsylvania, where Democrats’ registration advantage has shrunk from about 1.2 million in 2008 to fewer than 200,000.

The DNC said the new program is “specifically targeting non-college youth,” calling that population “historically overlooked by traditional voter registration efforts.” The committee said it found that nearly 60 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds are not enrolled in college and said the new focus is meant to register young supporters “where they live and work.”

The committee also tied the decision to start in Arizona and Nevada to both competitiveness and demographics. It said the program will begin in battleground congressional districts in the two states, saying that closing registration gaps there “could determine control of the House in 2026.”

The DNC pointed to “fast-growing populations of Latino, Black, and [Asian American and Pacific Islander] voters” in Arizona and Nevada and described that as an opportunity to engage voters the party said it “lost ground with in 2024.”

The DNC said the fellowship will be the core of its 2026 strategy. Under the plan, fellows will receive weekly training and support from the DNC’s national organizing program and will be tasked with registering Democrats in targeted House districts. The first cohorts are expected to begin in spring 2026 in Arizona and Nevada. The committee said it plans to train more than 100 fellows across the two states to register tens of thousands of new voters.

The party also said it will run four national voter registration weeks of action in 2026—across the spring, summer, and fall—leading up to the midterms. Those pushes are expected to involve fellows, state parties, coordinated campaigns, student Democratic groups, and volunteers. The DNC said it will provide toolkits, training, merchandise, and surrogates, and plans to promote friendly competitions between states.

The committee described the Arizona and Nevada rollout as a starting point it hopes to expand. It said the initial work will lay a foundation to scale the effort and register hundreds of thousands of voters nationally “in 2026 and beyond.”

In late September 2025, Martin announced the national party was shifting more resources into year-round organizing and partisan voter registration while increasing monthly support for every state party.

In a Sept. 30, 2025, recorded conversation with former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, Martin said the party had launched a partisan registration drive in which Democrats had stepped back from direct voter registration for roughly two decades after the 2002 McCain–Feingold campaign finance law.

That law meant national parties could no longer use unlimited donations to pay for voter registration or other party-building, according to Cornell law. Parties could still run registration drives, but they had to pay with money raised under the normal per-donor limits and publicly report the spending.

Martin and Harrison said limits on how national parties can fund party-building work pushed more registration activity to nonpartisan nonprofits that can register voters but cannot promote a party or candidate. Martin said the DNC has since developed a strategy that allows party staff and volunteers to register voters while also talking about Democratic candidates—a strategy it is now putting to use with this week’s announcement.

Five Bitcoin Narratives Analysts Are Watching Beyond Price

Authored by Bradley Peak via CoinTelegraph.com,

Key takeaways

  • ETF flows reveal real institutional demand beyond short-term price moves.

  • Bitcoin treasury stocks can turn BTC exposure into an equity risk shaped by index rules.

  • Low fees are reviving questions about how Bitcoin may pay for its long-term security.

  • Scaling now means choosing between Lightning, L2 designs and protocol upgrades.

Everyone’s watching Bitcoin’s price, but in 2026, it’s often not the most informative signal.

That’s why it helps to understand what analysts look at when the chart isn’t explaining why the market is moving or where it may move next.

The focus shifts to factors that can quietly reshape Bitcoin’s demand, liquidity and long-term narrative: Who’s buying through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), how “Bitcoin treasury” stocks are treated by indexes, whether miners are earning enough to secure the network, what scaling actually looks like today and how regulation is shaping mainstream access.

Here are five Bitcoin narratives worth watching beyond price in 2026.

1. Reading institutional demand through ETFs

ETF flows may be one of the clearest institutional signals of demand because they reflect real allocation decisions by wealth platforms, registered investment advisors (RIAs) and discretionary desks, not just leverage bouncing around on crypto exchanges.

This idea comes straight from mainstream market reporting and flow data. Reuters framed Bitcoin’s mid-2025 breakout as being “fuelled by strong flows into Bitcoin ETFs” and said the rally looked “more stable and lasting” than earlier, speculation-heavy runs.

Reuters also quoted Aether Holdings’ Nicolas Lin on why this matters for the longer term: “It’s the start of crypto becoming a permanent fixture in diversified portfolios.”

The flip side is also worth noting. Bloomberg highlighted how quickly sentiment can turn when the ETF pipeline reverses, with investors “yanking nearly $1 billion” in a single session, one of the largest daily outflows on record for the group.

2. BTC as equity products

A growing group of public companies is effectively saying this: Instead of buying Bitcoin directly, buy our stock, and we will hold the BTC on the balance sheet for you.

Naturally, Strategy has been the poster child since 2020. The 2026 narrative, however, is that these types of products are moving into the crosshairs of index providers.

Reuters describes these “digital asset treasury companies” (DATCOs) as companies that “began holding crypto tokens such as Bitcoin and ether as their main treasury assets,” giving investors “a proxy for direct exposure.” The problem is straightforward: If a company is mostly a pile of BTC in a corporate shell, is it an operating business or something closer to an investment vehicle?

That question became a real market risk in early January 2026, when MSCI backed off a plan that could have pushed some of these firms out of major indexes. MSCI said investors were concerned that some DATCOs “share characteristics with investment funds” and that separating true operating companies from “companies that hold non-operating assets… rather than for investment purposes requires further research.”

Barron’s noted that JPMorgan estimated potential selling pressure could have reached about $2.8 billion if MSCI had gone ahead and more if other index providers followed.

Reuters quoted Clear Street’s Owen Lau, who called MSCI’s delay the removal of a “material near-term technical risk” for these stocks that act as “proxies for Bitcoin/crypto exposure.”

Mike O’Rourke of JonesTrading was blunter. Exclusion may simply be “postponed until later in the year.”

If ETF flows are the clean spot-demand story, treasury stocks are the messier cousin. They can amplify Bitcoin through equity mechanics, index rules and balance-sheet optics, even when the BTC chart looks boring.

3. The security budget question is back

After the 2024 halving, it has become more apparent that Bitcoin’s long-term security story is increasingly linked to transaction fees.

Galaxy put it plainly, “Bitcoin fee pressure has collapsed.” It estimated that “as of August 2025, ~15% of daily blocks are ‘free blocks,’” with the mempool often being empty.

That’s great for users who want cheap transfers. For cryptocurrency miners, it reopens the big question: What pays for security as the subsidy keeps shrinking?

CoinShares made the same point from the mining side, saying transaction fees “have fallen to historic lows,” sitting at “less than 1% of total block rewards” during parts of 2025.

By early January 2026, JPMorgan-linked reporting flagged real stress. Monthly average hashrate fell 3% in December, while “daily block reward revenue” dropped 7% month-on-month and 32% year-on-year, reaching “the lowest on record.”

VanEck also described “a tough structural squeeze” for miners as subsidy cuts collide with rising competition.

With this in mind, analysts are increasingly watching the fee share of miner revenue, hash price and profitability, and whether onchain demand can return without relying on a hype cycle to push fees higher.

4. Lightning, Bitcoin L2s and upgrade politics

Analysts are now watching the full stack when it comes to scaling.

First, Lightning Network remains a primary payments-focused layer, and capacity is rising again. In mid-December 2025, Lightning capacity was reported at a new high of 5,637 BTC. More important than the headline number is who is adding liquidity. Amboss framed it this way: “It’s not just one company … it’s across the board.”

Second, the “Bitcoin L2 / BTCFi” push is receiving institutional research attention. Galaxy counts Bitcoin L2 projects rising “over sevenfold from 10 to 75” since 2021 and argues that meaningful BTC liquidity could move into layer-2 (L2) environments over time. It estimates that “over $47bn of BTC could be bridged into Bitcoin L2s by 2030.” Whether that happens remains the central debate.

Third, Bitcoin’s upgrade debate is back on the table as L2 builders push for better base-layer primitives. OP_CAT “was disabled in 2010” and is now “frequently proposed… using a soft fork.”

Galaxy’s view is that proposals such as OP_CAT and OP_CTV matter because they could support features like “trustless bridges” and “improvements to the Lightning Network.” Ecosystem commentary is now putting timelines on these ideas. Hiro says there is “a good chance” of a covenant-related soft fork “as early as 2026.”

In short, analysts are watching three things: Lightning capacity and liquidity trends, whether Bitcoin L2s attract real BTC rather than incentive-driven capital and whether the soft-fork conversation turns into an actual activation plan.

5. Regulation is deciding who gets access

In 2026, regulation will increasingly shape who gets access to Bitcoin, through which products and on what terms.

In the US, a change in tone is visible at the top. A federal executive order states, “It is the policy of the United States to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”

It also says that government BTC in that reserve “shall not be sold.” This language frames Bitcoin as a strategic asset in policy terms.

Stablecoin rules are also key because they shape the infrastructure around crypto markets.

A legal breakdown of the GENIUS Act calls it “the first major crypto legislation” in the United States and noted that it creates licensing requirements for payment stablecoin issuers.

Meanwhile, large asset managers are already warning about second-order effects. Amundi’s chief investment officer said mass stablecoin uptake could turn them into “quasi-banks” and “potentially destabilise the global payment system.”

In the EU, Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) acts as a portcullis. Regulators said, “Only firms authorised … are allowed to provide crypto-asset services in the EU,” with a transition window in some countries running until July 1, 2026.

When it comes to regulation, it is important to watch authorization lists and deadlines in the EU, enforcement posture and whether “strategic reserve” language turns into durable policy in the US.

Where to look when the chart goes quiet

Bitcoin in 2026 appears less driven by hype cycles alone. Instead, attention is shifting to a few pipes and pressure points:

  • ETF flows show who is allocating and how sticky that demand might be.

  • Treasury-heavy public companies reveal how Bitcoin exposure is being repackaged for equity markets and how index rules can suddenly matter as much as onchain data.

  • The security budget debate reminds us that network health depends on incentives.

  • Scaling discussions have moved from abstract arguments to concrete trade-offs between Lightning, L2 designs and protocol upgrades.

  • Regulation now determines which doors are open and which stay shut for mainstream capital.

None of these forces moves in a straight line, and none shows up cleanly on a price chart. Taken together, they explain why Bitcoin can look quiet on the surface while something important is changing underneath. For analysts, that is where the data increasingly lives.

$500 Billion... US-Taiwan Agree Huge Chip Trade Deal

Confirming what we previewed on Tuesday, the US and Taiwan agreed to a long-sought trade agreement that would lower tariffs on goods from the self-governed island to 15% and see Taiwanese semiconductor companies increase financing for American operations by $500 billion.

While the details are a little murky, duties on Taiwanese shipments would fall from the previous 20% rate - putting them on par with Japan and South Korea, which reached their own agreements last year.

And, as Bloomberg reportsTaiwan’s technology industry would also commit to making at least $250 billion in direct investments to expand advanced semiconductor, energy and artificial intelligence operations in the US.

In addition, Taiwan agreed to provide an additional $250 billion in credit guarantees for further investment in the American semiconductor supply chain.

A White House statement outlining the deal did not specifically mention Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, but the arrangement has clear implications for the company, which is the world’s top producer of AI chips.

Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the accord would call for TSMC to build at least four more chip manufacturing plants in Arizona, adding to the six factories and two advanced packaging facilities it has already promised to open there.

The agreement was announced shortly after a delegation of top Taiwanese officials visited Washington to finalize the deal with President Trump’s representatives.

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te had indicated he supported Trump’s goal of reindustrializing the US but said American land, electricity and workforce policy reforms were needed so projects could move ahead.

О, кажется, я придумал жизненный пример ))) по прошлому посту:

Утверждается, что:

высказывание "если каждому давать, то сломается кровать"

высказывание "если каждая труба трубит, то стены Иерихона падают" (первое высказывание)

эквивалентно высказыванию: "существует такая труба, что если она трубит, то стены Иерихона падают" (второе высказывание)

по-моему, с точки здравого смысла высказывания абсолютно не эквивалентны. С какой это стати может существовать труба (единственная?), от звука которой падут стены Иерихона? Мы ж вроде в первом высказывании обозначили, что трубить должны абсолютно все трубы, чтобы гарантировать падение стен.

Меж тем, первое высказывание может быть ложным лишь в одном единственном случае - если каждая труба трубит, а стены Иерихона не падают.

Но тогда (при допущении этого) и не существует такой трубы, чтобы она трубила (заведомая истина), а стены Иерихона упали (мы ж выше договорились, что они не упали). В таком случае, второе высказывание будет тоже ложным.

Проверим в обратную сторону. Второе высказывание может быть ложным только в том случае, если для любой трубы высказывание "если она трубит, то стены Иерихона падают" неверно. Что возможно лишь тогда, когда конкретная труба трубит, а стены Иерихона не падают. Значит, каждая труба трубит, а стены Иерихона не падают, что означает ложность первого высказывания.

Таким образом, ложность первого высказывания влечет ложность второго, а ложность второго - ложность первого. Следовательно, высказывания логически эквивалентны.

Хотя я всё равно никак не чувствую, что они логически эквивалентны. )))

Если хочется разобрать более занудно, можно рассмотреть всего две трубы и расписать истинность первого и второго высказывания для восьми случаев - первая труба трубит или нет, вторая труба трубит или нет, стены падают или нет. И убедиться, что значения истинности первого и второго высказывания совпадут.

Хотя и это не помагает, чтобы почувствовать логическую эквивалентность. )))

А тут такие страсти.

Вчера алабайка начала рожать и около 18:30 родила первого. Ну, вы ее конечно помните: здесь и здесь. Вот она росла, rosla и выросла.

Жена, как водится в таких случаях, собрала в комнате родильную будку. Условную конуру. Там интим должен соединяться с чистотой и теплом. Самое трудное это чистота, ведь роды довольно грязно-мокрое дело, все время надо заменять мокрые тряпки на сухие и чистые. 

А надо еще, чтобы наша первородка случайно не придавила щенков, ну и т.д.

Я главным образом уговаривал роженицу, чтобы не волнoвалась. Жена тоже, но она делала всю техническую работу: отнимала детей от сисек, чтобы вывести роженицу в патио на попис, регулировала лампу инфракрасного фонаря... 

Результат, возможно, не окончательный: два мертвых щенка и 7 живых. Последний живой родился только что в 14:00, на следующий день после начала родов, ну минут 20 как.

PS Одному мальчику уже дали имя Сантур в честь моего папы, которому сегодня 111 лет.
PPS Через сутки от начала родов результат: 8 живых / 4 мертвых. Из живых - 5 мальчиков/3 девочки

Rare Space Station Evacuation Sends SpaceX Crew Dragon Streaking Over California

Central Californians got a rare overnight spectacle as a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule streaked across the sky during its de-orbit burn, ahead of a splashdown off the coast of San Diego.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carried Mike Fincke, Zena Cardman, Kimiya Yui, and Oleg Platonov and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego at 0341 EST, about 10.5 hours after undocking from the International Space Station.

The astronauts returned one month early after one of the astronauts experienced a medical issue. This marked the first time in ISS history - or about three decades of operation - that a mission was shortened due to astronaut health.

NASA has not identified either the astronaut or the medical issue, but it was severe enough that a spacewalk by two of its astronauts was canceled last week.

"It is not an emergency de-orbit, even though we always retain that capability, and NASA and our partners train for that routinely," NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told reporters last week. Instead, he added, the mission team decided to bring Crew-11 home early because "the capability to diagnose and treat this properly does not live on the International Space Station."

Welcome home.
