Fight night energy is taking over DC. UFC Freedom 250 is almost here. 🇺🇸

Set is ready @ElonMusk We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice. Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization. My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.

My spicy take at the Reagan National Economic Forum debate about manufacturing was simple. If we have degrees in Community Studies or Environmental Sociology... ...then let's give degrees to welders and electricians, who do work that's both way harder and way more useful.

Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale. In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors. Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers. Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers. Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market. We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.

.@SecScottBessent: "A nation that cannot manufacture, mine, ship, or refine its needs gradually cedes its strength and sovereignty to others. That is a dangerous dependency for any country; it is an unacceptable one for the United States of America."

.@USTreasury @SecScottBessent keynote @RonaldReagan National Economic Forum on “While America Slept, we let vulnerabilities grow” — “trade policy, industrial policy and national security are inseparable.” Arguing that bringing China into the WTO was a mistake & “just in case” needs to replace “just in kind” polices. @ReaganInstitute

For too long, our political class treated efficiency as a substitute for resilience and consumption as a measure of prosperity. Trade policy, industrial capacity, and national security are inseparable. And to allow foreign dependencies to degrade any one of those domains is to allow them to define America’s future. Under @POTUS’ leadership, we are rebuilding domestic production to restore American sovereignty.

A Swedish minister has accused France of mounting 'an attack on the Swedish way of living' with its ban on nicotine pouches, setting aflame a single market fight over how governments should regulate smoke-free alternatives to tobacco. ft.trib.al/pkiwmf3

Realizing that Deepseek is JLCPCB for coders

I'm excited to announce that @AmcaInc has raised a $300M Series B at a >$1B valuation, led by @CaffeinatedCap with major support from @LightspeedVP, @a16z, @Lux_Capital, and others. We're on a mission to reconstitute a supply chain that has too often put profit over country.
