Proud to say my bipartisan bill with @ElissaSlotkin to ban Chinese cars from US markets just passed out of Senate Commerce UNANIMOUSLY.
Thank you to Chairman @tedcruz for all your work on this bill. Now let’s pass into law. The American auto industry depends on it. #CVSA

For a long time — many defense articles (munitions for example) have been filled to the brim with adversarial supply - ranging from electronics, to magnets — pretty much anything.
This seems crazy (it is!) and any minor complaint was met with a waiver to enable adversarial supply to enter our defense products.
@WhiteHouse and the President’s EO has to be enforced — it has real teeth, and is finally strong enough to get adversarial components out of our weapons systems.
Big win!

Very excited for @noah_schochet and proud to be a small investor!
Noah Schochet@noah_schochet
Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins. America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. That’s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/TerraFirma-Inc…

@jimbelosic Automated tequila delivery for niche plating vendors for expedites
English
When you’re getting something manufactured, what process is the biggest pain? I’ll go first:
- heat treating (there’s like one guy who’s good and he’s 6 weeks out)
- plating/polishing
- assembly (usually gotta do this in-house)
- welding (we got you now)
- packaging
- domestic PCBs/PCBA
What else?

@andrewmccalip @jimbelosic Blanket POs with a drawdown with upfront payment terms to solve the horrific cash flow problem. “SCS credits” with discounts. @jimbelosic if you want me to rant at you about this I have a shitty prototype for you (not Hadrians biz model)
English
@jimbelosic A card with a certain amount of prenegociitated discount per vendor? Dare I say, a certain amount of Kickbacks per vendor?

250 years ago, a small group built something the world had never seen: America. 🇺🇸
That spirit never died. In 2002, @elonmusk moved into a warehouse in El Segundo and proved Americans could still build the impossible.
A generation of companies was born from that building. They're still being built here today.
If you're building something your family and your country will be proud of, come to the Gundo and build what you need to. Apply for the Fall Cohort below.
Deadline July 17th.
Featuring @jordannoone and @jordan__black

Thanks to our great partner @RTX_News & RTX Ventures for sharing the love on our efforts to scale production together.
As a relatively new entrant to the defense base, partnerships like this are how we help accelerate production with advanced technologies, and have the honor of learning from decades of systems engineering expertise.
Since its launch in 2021, Hadrian has built four factories and worked with Collins Aerospace and Raytheon, where Javelin and TOW weapon systems parts achieved a 98% on-time delivery rate.
Much more to come!

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is delivering massive wins for America. It has unleashed over $68 billion in private investment and created more than 94,000 new jobs.
Reconciliation 3.0 scales what was started. $350B will supercharge the Defense Industrial Base. The cost to re-start shuttered factories was monumental. Now we must keep them roaring at full throttle.
Today, sustaining these efforts means the cost of keeping these factories open will deliver more weapons and capabilities to the warfighter at a faster scale while continuing to deliver new entrants into the Defense Industrial Base.
This momentum is vital. We cannot afford to slow down even for a second. It’s time to pass Reconciliation 3.0 immediately and take the fight to the next level.

China is forcibly deindustrializing Germany (and all of Europe)
Bonnie Glaser / 葛來儀@BonnieGlaser
“As panic spreads among German manufacturers, layoffs are rolling thru formerly prosperous villages with no living memory of a downturn. The moment could become a political turning point for a country whose wealth was largely created by the Mittelstand.” wsj.com/economy/china-…

On America’s 250th, it’s impossible not to be thankful to my adopted home and more importantly the American People.
This is the only country where you can show up and contribute, be supported and challenged, and be given the opportunity - not the right - to contribute every day to the building and acceleration of the greatest country to ever exist.
So thank you, to the American people - my friends who took me in straight off the plane from Australia, my team for backing me up, our investors for believing, my fellow Reindustrialists, our customers, the great states that host our factories, and the @DeptofWar for allowing me to help this great country Reindustrialize and Deter its adversaries, and for letting me build from a stressed founder with a promise to keep - to four factories and 3000 American manufacturing jobs and climbing.
There is only one America, the greatest country in the world, and I hope i will do the country and its people proud.
God Bless the United States of America and may she reign proud and free for the next 250 years.
