UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

The only thing missing from this cage is me and @jeffroe

I see a lot of people bashing @ProjectRedTX and Jen Hall. I have never met a group more committed to delivering Republican victories in south Texas like Project Red Texas. I’ve seen posts from a lot of people saying the Republican Party of Texas is why south Texas is red. That is false. I have seen little to no investment from the state and national party in Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Uvalde, etc. When we needed guidance Jen Hall was there. I stand with Project Red Texas and Jen Hall. It’s groups like Project Red Texas that we have our first Republican elected official in Maverick County.

I looked into the U.S. Navy's Corsair drone boat that just rescued two American pilots in the Strait of Hormuz, and the engineering is remarkable. Built by Texas-based Saronic Technologies, the Corsair is a 24-foot autonomous surface vessel powered by AI. It hits 40 mph, carries 1,000 pounds of payload, and can sail more than 1,000 miles without a human aboard. Each unit costs roughly $1 million to produce, which is a fraction of what comparable manned naval assets cost. The platform runs on Saronic's autonomy stack, which fuses real-time sensor data, computer vision, and AI decision-making to navigate, identify targets, and execute mission objectives without remote piloting. It's part of the Navy's Task Force 59, the unit dedicated to AI-powered unmanned vessels operating in the Middle East. Saronic stood this up in 12 months from prototype to production. The company is on track to build more than 20 vessels per year by 2027. This is what American AI looks like in the field. 🇺🇸
