Cheap drones are breaking expensive militaries. The U.S. is using million-dollar missiles to stop them.
In just 4 days, the Pentagon burned ~$5.7B on interceptors. Now engineers are racing to build $10K alternatives. The future of war? Scalable, not just powerful.

• paid $25M for Trump University fraud
• shut down his own foundation for fraud
• pardoned 14 allies convicted of fraud (~$700M)
• surrounded himself with fraud convictions (Cohen, Manafort, Bannon…)

Russia fired ~1,000 drones in a day. Ukraine shot down ~95%—then struck oil targets 600+ miles away, cutting exports ~40%.

💥IMPORTANT: The Save Act is a plan "to guarantee the midterms."' It's a federal takeover of elections.💥
This plan doesn’t “secure” voting — it hands power over WHO CAN VOTE to DHS:
1️⃣ All states forced to give voter rolls to DHS
2️⃣ Federal system decides who’s “eligible”
3️⃣ Error-filled algorithm flags real citizens
4️⃣ Voters PURGED — no notice
5️⃣ Show up to vote? Too late. You’re gone.
6️⃣ Re-register? Bring passport/birth certificate or you’re out, Married & changed last name- 1/2

may not be enough.
7️⃣ Mail-in + campus + DMV registration = ELIMINATED
Let that sink in: A federal agency gets the power to filter voters — then makes it very hard to get back in. It strips millions of Americans of their right to vote — and it has no place in a democracy.
