BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.

Americans work 40+ years…

Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.

Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.

Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.

Read that again.

The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.

This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.

Who comes first?

The taxpayer… or the system?

Okay this is genuinely insane.

SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.

It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.

AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.

They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.

So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.

In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.

And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."

One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.

AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.

And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.

The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.

There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. 🧵

Lockheed Martin’s new Lamprey undersea drone rides attached to warships, charges itself en route, then detaches to conduct surveillance or launch torpedoes. It comes with modular payloads and seabed “ambush” capability.

I really have to get better at buying whatever the President of the United States says to buy.

Some groups spent a ton of energy telling you CFP expansion was the only viable mechanism to fund college athletics.

That was always false - but it’s about to become clear why they preferred that route.

NEW: Sens. Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell have introduced bipartisan legislation, The Protect College Sports Act:
