The Soviets put a cat, a pigeon, guinea pigs and fish into ZERO GRAVITY. The footage is incredible. During the Space Race, Soviet scientists took animals aboard aircraft to see how they reacted to weightlessness. The pigeon tries to fly. The cat has absolutely no idea what to do with itself. Actual science, conducted with the most confused test subjects imaginable. Writer: Oliver

🚨🇺🇸 From Melania stopping the immigration crackdown to advisers warning the Iran war would cost the midterms, here’s what really happened inside the White House before Tuesday’s disaster... The first lady's complaints led the president to tell aides that Stephen Miller had "gone too far," and that was just one of the decisions the Journal traces. Other details from inside the White House: -Advisers warned him in the spring the Iran war could cost the midterms; he said there was "plenty of time," and privately asked even junior staffers at photo ops whether he should change course -Told aides polls on affordability were "fake," and reminded them he won 2016 without commissioning any -Said at times he "didn't care about the midterms at all" and was tired of domestic issues he saw as smaller than foreign policy and his legacy -Thune got off the phone six times believing he'd talked Trump out of endorsing Paxton; Trump backed him anyway, then complained about his candidacy -Trump pushed stronger Republican candidates out of Senate races in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas; Democrats won all four -Brian Kemp turned down a Senate run after Trump called him "disloyal" at a rally -Cabinet officials told oil executives in March the war would end by April; Trump was "shocked" to learn the military was short on munitions and cut a Russian fuel deal to get prices down -Focus groups kept bringing up the ballroom and the arch unprompted: "It seems like he wants to put his name on everything" Advisers warned about the war, the polls warned about prices, and focus groups kept bringing up the ballroom... but the final speech before the election was about algae in the Reflecting Pool. For a party now facing a Democratic House and Senate, the lesson is pretty simple: next time someone says “plenty of time,” check the calendar... Source: WSJ / Writer: Daniel
