In today’s orbit-around-the-news (July 20, 2025), we cover a mix of absurd and inspiring global headlines. We start with Moon Day 2025, where the world celebrates Apollo’s legacy—while back on Earth, things get weirder. The Trump administration escalates the ‘War on Science’, RFK Jr. slashes vaccine advisory panels just as measles cases hit a 33-year high.

Meanwhile, the U.S. revokes visas of Brazilian Supreme Court justices, Trump touts the return of 10 Gaza hostages, and India completes a groundbreaking liver swap surgery. And yes—the IMF promises a sunnier economic forecast (again), because hope floats… even when reality sinks.

All that and more, packed with satire, updates, and side-eyes from every corner of the globe.
