As the LHC enters its last runs, the particle physics community must consider the experiments to succeed it. While the discussion of future colliders is nuanced and important, essentially all future collider options, especially those probing the energy frontier, cannot be constructed on a short time scale. Thus, we are left to consider other options to probe high-energy dynamics. A possible avenue is through Kaon physics, as the small violations of CP can be sensitive to extremely high-energy new degrees of freedom. In this talk, I show how a kaon physics program can be revived, following the cancellation of HIKE, at a dedicated facility at Fermilab, in a way that integrates with the DUNE program as well as potential muon collider R&D.
