🔥 UPDATE: Republican Senator Thom Tillis now says the Starshield outage may have started locally, inside US Department of Defense Starshield systems, not in Starlink or SpaceX. He doesn't expect Defense Secretary Hegseth to be transparent. So he will ask the DOD Inspector General to investigate and report to Congress. The American people deserve to see that report too. Earlier we reported that terminals dropped signal above 160 km/h overnight. Strike drones went dark. Air-defense links went dark. It happened during Russia's barrage. Tillis adds that Ukrainian civilians were put at needless risk. American diplomats were too. So were US security personnel. No warning came. In his words, the best case is unacceptable negligence. The worst case is a deliberate decision to clear the way for Russian attacks. A senator from the president's own party is now openly weighing that second option. Think about it. If the Pentagon's own systems failed, the Pentagon owns that failure. If the blackout was intended, it handed Moscow a gift.

A SPECIAL MOMENT: President Trump is presented with his late uncle John G. Trump's National Medal of Science during the Golden Age of American Innovation Summit at the Institute of Peace. White House science adviser Michael Kratsios surprised the president with the medal in a frame. His uncle, an MIT electrical engineering professor, was posthumously awarded the honor in 1983 for his contributions to science and engineering.
