Among dozens of companies competing for Pentagon contracts to supply attack drones, one stands out.
Powerus is flush with cash and ballooning in size as it buys up rivals and has one other advantage: It is partly owned by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons.
Which I wrote up here.
We need to know if Russia helped kill Pennington.

Gonna repeat again. We know how 6 of 7 people KIA died, in Iranian attack in Kuwait. That wouldn't need sophisticated intel (they had been watching it w/drones).
But 7th, Benjamin Pennington, was LIKELY part of a precision attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, kind of attack RU would have helped on.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Nearly all U.S. Senate Democrats sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanding a “swift investigation” into airstrikes on a girls’ school in Iran that killed dozens of children, - Reuters
Signed by 46 senators, the letter says most victims were girls aged 7–12.
India may not like doing business with China. But a solar farm imported from China can supply electricity for decades, while a cargo of LNG imported from the United States is burned up in days.
❗️❗️Senator Tom Cotton stated that any assistance from Russia or China to Iran would be "playing with fire."
He also stated that he could neither confirm nor deny reports of possible intelligence transfers to Iran, but "Soviet Russia did this throughout the Cold War. Putin's Russia is no different."
🇺🇦 Ukraine received several missiles for the Patriot air defense system, - Zelensky
💬 "It was not from one country, but from several. We wanted more, it turned out as it turned out. The German part of these missiles arrived yesterday."
"Rank-and-file letter carriers in Minneapolis continue to demand that national NALC leadership support getting ICE off of postal property, and that they fight to ensure that ICE cannot use postal facilities for its operations," writes letter carrier Emmett Bongaarts.

An adorable raccoon.
Putin probably doesn't sit on social media himself but he absolutely has an underling provide him with an executive summary of the discourse every morning.

We see that television broadcasting is a relative thing these days - it can be switched off with a click of a button," he said.
According to him, Moscow needs to figure out how to operate in the CIS space and abroad, since "hostile social media" currently dominate there.
Peskov complained that social media make it harder for Russia to spread its propaganda abroad.
They are not even hiding their goals.
"We’re now rapidly losing the tools for our propaganda work abroad,especially in the near abroad.

Worthwhile noting that these are the kind of pests more regions of Canada will have to deal with under climate change. We historically lack R&D and pest management infrastructure to deal with these issues. e.g., no one in Canada studies or trains people in urban pest management.
A study used ‘simulated’ subjects to test 10 major chatbots. Only one — Claude — reliably shut down violent plans.
These days all major outlets are covering the new law on "ethnic unity" and how it will erase China's minorities & even prosecute parents who "instill" detrimental views in their children.
It is a sad development, the outcomes of which are long prescribed.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
"A gun rights activist and hard-right YouTuber became the default Republican nominee in a West Texas congressional race..."
"In his video of the Nazi submachine gun, Mr. Herrera calls the weapon the 'original ghetto blaster' and 'Hitler’s street sweeper' and marches to a Nazi-era German war song."
From "By Your Side" by Dwarf Studio.
I watch this video every March 11.
My thoughts are with Japan.

"...hypocrisy is baked into authoritarianism; and that evangelicalism is an authoritarian form of Christianity in which the ends justify the means" - @thebugbeardispatch.bsky.social
“If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again - Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump threatens to destroy a country of 90+ million people and describes it as “a gift from the United States of America to China”
I went to share this under some post about Hegesth's recent comments about his war on Iran being a fulfillment of prophecy and ended up watching it again. This is gna sound weird but I'm so impressed that I was able to put this together.

This is so good. Keep pushing the wildly unpopular idiot policy for idiots button, Andrea.
