1/ The future of warfare isn’t just drones and lasers — it’s budget fights, AI deployments, and geopolitical realignment.

That’s why I launched a newsletter tracking the real drivers behind U.S. defense and global strategy.

Next edition hits tomorrow. Here’s what’s inside 🧵

@DisneyPlus please fix ESPN+ streaming. Trying to watch Dartmouth v Harvard Women’s Lax and am getting NFL Combine interviews. Not what I paid for.

@Jason @Jason you have to start sharing your views again on All In. They've relegated you to moderator vs equal contributor and as amazing as Friedberg is, he mostly avoids confrontation. The show has lost balance.

4/ 🛩️ A $2B sale of MQ-9 drones to Qatar got little press. But it’s a key data point on how allies are preparing for autonomous ISR dominance.

@chamath, as a subscriber, I just read your Understanding Federal Govt Deep Dive. It is great, but I was very disappointed when you went partisan in slides 70-73 and 79. The ideas are awesome. We need to push ANY administration to consider them and not just focus on one.

@chamath I am a left-of-center Dem who has voted for a Rep Gov in the past. I am also a retired USAF Col, Pilot, and Tech Entrepreneur. I'd love to connect with you on policy and offer my thoughts, services, and POV on how we sustain the USA.

There is a lot missing here.
1. Cost of raising a family/amount of resources required to enable your kids to be competitive today and that 2 incomes are needed vs 1 in the mid to late 20th century
2. Women as a % of the professional workforce/education + early career focus
3. The average person in their 20s is still figuring out who they are, while someone in their 30s has a better sense of who they are and what matters in a relationship
