The DoW is immediately suspending CMMC Phase II requirements to clear bureaucratic roadblocks for the DIB.

We must scale warfighter readiness, not paperwork.

What you need to know:
· Phase II & costly administrative burdens are paused.
· Phase I self-assessments remain firmly in place.
· NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance are still required.
· Focus is shifting to tangible cybersecurity and operational resilience, not red tape.

To uplift cybersecurity while eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, we’ve launched a 60-day review on the future of the program to be led by a CMMC Reform Task Force. We are also seeking industry perspectives from the DIB via our new RFI on driving scalable, realistic security measures and operational resilience without compliance burden.

Goodbye 🇺🇸 It’s been emotional!

@isaiah_p_taylor @mzjacobson Agree. It’s just physics. We need to push electricity prices down so we can just synthesize it.

Norway's youth sports model is super unique:

• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year

The result?

A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).

And it's not just winter sports...

Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).

So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

"The Pentagon announced they're doing an LCCM buy from Anduril; our Barracuda-500 class. We will produce 7,000 barracudas in 2027. Deliveries on Tomahawks and Patriots are both less than 1,000 a year, so we will make ten times more Barracuda-500s than Patriots or Tomahawks."

@The_Guy_Space @RnaudBertrand Keep in mine this rocket is a falcon 9 sized rocket. This would be much harder to do for starship.

@niccruzpatane @Tesla Taller tires are more efficient. Better rollover and less loss from bumps. Lower rpm.
