To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

It is so refreshing to hear a NASA administrator address issues that have long been these huge elephants in the room, like Orion's inability to reach low-lunar orbit. Everyone knew it was an issue, but no one did anything about it for 15 years. Finally, it's being addressed.

JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity x.com/palmerluckey/s…

On Polymarket and Kalshi betting: "Our enemies watch movements in these markets,” Hegseth wrote in a memo banning military personnel from using nonpublic information to bet on U.S. military operations. "When an American Service member, intelligence professional, or other Department civilian engages in a financial transaction on a military outcome, they create a signal.” @CBSNews @JimLaPorta cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-bet…

Hegseth bans DoD personnel from using nonpublic info to bet on U.S. military operations

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the ban applies to classified and unclassified information and includes prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi.
