hegseth just dropped a bomb on the defense industry. JCIDS is dead. acquisition as we know it is over. manufacturing now sits above application. the factory just became the weapon.

UPDATE: WE GOT MILL DIRECT ALUMINUM PERSISTENCY WINS
alright I've gotten to the point of posting a direct screenshot from an american mill that is 1000% illegal practice and has huge negative effects on american manufacturing "that may compete against them" oh so you know metal suppliers have an oligopoly making aluminum way more expensive than it needs to be for every American factory? got it it's not mill capacity or lead times. it's channel protection, bullying, and illegal practices in concentrated markets, refusals to deal that foreclose new entrants to protect incumbent distributors can implicate Sherman §1 (group boycott) and §2 (exclusive dealing/monopolization) theories the quiet part has been said out loud

This show is awesome and if you haven’t watched it, you really really should.
According to Production Weekly, a 6th season of #ForAllMankind is in the works. S5 returns next year on #AppleTV

The irony of heckling the Governor of the state with the third highest income tax in a territory whose residents pay no federal income tax.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, under a palm tree in Puerto Rico, is greeted with chants of “tax the rich” when she enters. “I hear you,” she says, adding that she’s the type of person who: “The more you push me, the less I’m going to do what you want.”

This is what real industrial strategy looks like: closing the loop between materials, manufacturing, and markets. Recycling is the next phase of mining. Every ton processed here reduces dependence, strengthens supply chains, and compounds national capability.
NEWS: Redwood Materials has started recycling battery materials at its new facility in South Carolina. "America runs on critical materials: cobalt, lithium, nickel, and copper. They are the backbone of our modern economy, powering everything from computers and smartphones to energy storage, defense systems, and AI data centers. Yet today, the United States imports nearly all of these minerals, often from unstable regions or adversarial nations. Today, @RedwoodMat is on par with the largest U.S. source of nickel and stands as the only domestic source of cobalt at scale. Our operations also represent one of the most significant, and only new, domestic sources of lithium and copper to come online in decades. With roughly 90% of all lithium-ion batteries processed in North America coming through our facilities, Redwood’s Nevada Campus produced more than 60,000 metric tons of materials last year—making it one of the nation’s most important sources of critical minerals, mined or recycled. Now, we’re bringing our first operations online at our South Carolina campus, adding an initial 20,000 metric tons of annual materials production."

President Trump has been clear that the war must end immediately. As long as Putin continues the senseless killings, the Kremlin’s puppet, Gunvor, will never get a license to operate and profit.

Lina Khan blocked both the Spirit/JetBlue and iRobot (Roomba)/Amazon mergers, and now both Spirt and iRobot are shutting down, cancelling pensions, and firing everyone.
If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

This was also, privately, the view of the Biden administration.
After consultations with Director Ratcliffe and his team, they have confirmed to me that the CIA assesses that both Russia and China have conducted super-critical nuclear weapons tests in excess of the U.S. zero-yield standard. These tests are not historic and are part of their nuclear modernization programs.

Prediction: this “fat shot drug” press conference will be very, very entertaining.
News: Trump announcement on weight loss drugs is scheduled for 11 a.m. tomorrow, sources tell me. The deal, with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk officials, is expected to decrease the drug price to less than $150 a month -- in certain cases.

The @nytimes just published the report about my kidnapping, period in captivity & how I was freed. The report contains graphic details about the torture Kataeb Hezbollah subjected me to, in order to produce the false confessions. The reporters writing the story were respectful and considerate, and did not push me to share anything I wished to keep private. Like anyone else, I don't want the details about the worst moments of my life to be public. But I know that nearly all victims of the Iraqi militias cannot speak up: the militias either killed them, or they are in Iraq or have family in Iraq, and hence continue to be threatened by the militias. I told myself in captivity that if I make it out alive, it'll be my duty toward the other victims of these militias who are overwhelmingly Iraqi (and Syrian), to expose their sadism and vileness. I made it out alive. I am safe. I can speak out.
Damn, Jared was a great member to work with. The House was made better by his pragmatic and sensible approach, though sadly this is also probably why he got tremendous heartburn from all sides. A loss for the chamber.
After much deliberation, I’ve decided not to seek reelection in 2026. I’m confident that were I to run again, I would win. But recent events have made me reconsider whether the good I can do in Congress still outweighs the cost to my family. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in decades of public service. Now, I look forward to my next chapter: raising my young daughters with Izzy and spending more time with our family and friends. To the people of Maine's 2nd District: Thank you. Representing you has been the honor of my life. bangordailynews.com/2025/11/…

The full NSRAA, which included reforms to war powers and arms export controls, had sufficient support to pass and get signed into law, but it was intro’d shortly before fall of Kabul and Biden reversed support bc of how toxic anything Afghanistan-adjacent became.

The bill took the emergency powers reforms section of the NSRAA of 2021, which would have had emergencies expire after 30 days unless congress approved (vs status quo of congress only being able to revoke emergencies with veto-proof majorities).

In 2022 we had a bill, blessed off by leadership in both chambers + Biden WH to reform presidential emergency powers. At last minute Biden torpedoed it after climate activists got concerned it’d limit possibility to declare a climate emergency to force thru Green New Deal.
Gorsuch asks whether a different president could declare a national emergency on climate change. Sauer says he thinks they probably could. So a GOP administration is arguing to the Supreme Court that a climate change emergency is probably allowed, for the sake of tariffs.
The US went from zero LNG exports to exporting more LNG than any other nation in less than a decade. Don’t believe degrowth doomers- we can repeat this performance and dominate other industrial sectors with the right blend of private commitment and public support.
US building out a staggering volume of LNG, per Deloitte. That's if all the planned projects move forward, of course.

This was a hoot! Looking forward to my libertarian friends disowning me after they hear me defend Trump’s industrial policy.
Thanks to everyone who came out tonight for the live Remnant recording at @ActonInstitute in Grand Rapids. Great crowd, great people, and great fun with Kevin Williamson & @petermeijer.

I congratulate @ZohranKMamdani on his well-earned & historic victory. We have worked together on a number of vital issues — like delivering historic debt relief for taxi drivers. I look forward to building on that partnership to keep NYC strong, fair, more affordable & thriving.
