🇺🇸🇮🇷 Nearly 2 months in, and Republican support for the Iran war is quietly curdling. Not collapsing, but curdling. This week, Congress voted down war-powers resolutions in both chambers, again, but the margins were razor-thin. The complaints from GOP lawmakers have gotten loud enough that they're hard to ignore: Gas prices, fertilizer costs, military-age kids. Constituents are calling every day. Sen. Josh Hawley wants an exit strategy, Sen. Jim Justice says every day that passes makes it harder to justify and Rep. Tim Burchett says voters will blame Republicans. But they're all still voting with Trump… for now. The 60-to-90-day congressional approval deadline is closing in fast, and a supplemental military spending request is coming. Democrats have promised to force war-powers votes every single week until it ends. The coalition is holding, but it's not comfortable. Source: WSJ







GTA 6 is about to revolutionize how expectations are set for open world games. Top discussions are how realistic NPCs are going to be, or how realistic will police be, or about driving physics, euphoria reactions when being shot, etc.








🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Pentagon just asked GM and Ford to start making weapons. The last time that happened was World War II... Senior defense officials sat down with Mary Barra and Jim Farley to discuss shifting factory capacity toward munitions and military equipment. GE Aerospace and Oshkosh are also in talks. The Pentagon framed it as a matter of national security. The Iran war burned through Tomahawks at nine times the annual procurement rate. Fired every PrSM in the inventory. Depleted Patriot interceptors across the region. The defense industrial base built for peacetime deterrence couldn't keep up with six weeks of actual war. During World War II, Detroit stopped making cars and started making bombers. During COVID, GM and Ford made ventilators. Now the Pentagon wants to know if they can make missiles. The $1.5 trillion defense budget request, the largest in modern history, calls for major investment in munitions and drone manufacturing. But traditional contractors can't scale fast enough. The Pentagon needs commercial partners who know how to run assembly lines at volume. Trump says the war is "very close to over." The Pentagon is already asking car companies to tool up for the next one. Source: WSJ
