@PatWolf American sovereignty comes from its ability to manufacture and produce.

250 years ago today, a colonel named John Nixon stood in a Philadelphia square and read the Declaration of Independence out loud to the public for the first time. Under British law that was a death sentence. Speaking up for this country costs a lot less now. Never surrender.

If you are able to donate, that would be greatly appreciated. Ben is an amazing man with a beautiful family. gofund.me/51ea0c826

@TheSebasHidalgo Beautifully stated!

America is the best country in the world. If Rome built the foundations of Western civilization, America built a toweing skyscraper on them. I’ve lived in Venezuela. My family saw the horror of socialism. I’ve lived in Italy. And it taught me that beauty, history and landscapes make for a great tourist location, but not for a great place to live if you lack opportunities. I’ve lived in Germany. And it taught me that a strong economy doesn’t mean you can achieve great things. It just means you can settle for a acceptable minimum standard. Overall, I’ve visited 10+ countries. And nothing compares to America. I am in the process of moving to the United States, and my travels have brought me to 9 of the 51 States. Out of the last 10 months, I have probably spent a total of 4 in America. I’ve come across more opportunities in those trips than I have after spending 21 years in Europe. If you’re American and reading this, may God keep blessing you and your country. May you never take the black pill of hating your nation. Because once again, if Rome built the foundations of Western civilization, America built a toweing skyscraper on them. The difference is, America it’s not in decline. Happy 250th birthday, America. 🇺🇸 🦅 🇺🇸 🦅 🇺🇸 🦅 🇺🇸 🦅

From the team here at the Institute for American Manufacturing and Technology, we wish everyone a happy 4th of July.

So much to be proud of in our country's rich history. And so much to look forward to. Happy 250th!

@Garrath_R @mttgrmm The reward for work is more work

@mttgrmm The process IS the prize.

Most founder and VC types love to publicly celebrate the wins, the product launches, the major milestones... And fair enough! Building new hard tech is indeed incredibly rewarding when things work. Anduril does plenty of celebrating! But what doesn't get talked about nearly enough is how often things *don't* work. Every company building rockets, aircraft, engines, missiles, drones, or any other difficult tech has LOTS of days where something doesn’t work, when a test goes badly, when you thought you got it juuuuust right but womp, not so much. Those days suck, but they are also inevitable on the path to success. Well, Friday was one of those days for Anduril. A solid rocket motor exploded during a test fire at our factory in Mississippi. Most importantly, no one was hurt. The safety systems worked exactly as designed. The team responded exactly the way they've trained to, and damages to our test stand were minimal. By the end of the day everyone was already focused on understanding what went wrong and getting ready for the next test. There's a reason for the cliché "not rocket science" -- because rocket science is actually quite difficult! Friday's test failure is just one example of why. Development testing exists to answer difficult questions before the design goes into production. Obviously we aim and hope for successful tests, but just as obvious, every test failure gives us data. Every anomaly improves the next design. Every test, in the long run, makes the program stronger. Even if Friday sucked (and it did), we take a deep breath and move onto the next one. We'll be back to test firing rockets within weeks. Anduril is continuing to build and test rocket motors weekly, and the production facility remains on schedule. Disciplined iteration begets steady progress, and we're already putting the pieces of our test stand back together for the next test. Onwards.

The magic soil perspective.

@JTLonsdale @InstituteCicero You accepted their tribute with grace and serenity.

Protesters held an event in my honor outside @InstituteCicero last night. There was food, letter writing, chants with my name, even a song! Your activism makes me blush. Sorry I missed the serenade - next time! I'll never stop fighting for the homeless and sanity in our cities.

@Garrath_R If their larvae hatch, residency is established. They will have full legal rights to stay permanently.

This isn’t merely an act of aggression. It’s an act of war.

Good morning. Last night at 8:51pm Mountain Time, the Valar Atomics Nuclear Operations team brought Ward 250 to 10kW thermal output. We held this power level throughout the night. This is another historic milestone from the Valar team, marking first nuclear power by a startup.

I spent the past few months scurrying across America with one question in mind: is reindustrialization real? Through the lens of @MicronTech, I think I've found an answer. What kind of America do you want your kids to grow up in? One where they can point to things in their everyday lives and be proud that we built them? Or one where they can’t buy a car if another country decides they aren’t happy with us? Reindustrialize or die.

America has every resource at its disposal, natural, capital, and human, to build and achieve great things. Learn more: IAMT.org

In America, we can just 3D print our own custom brushless motors and wrap the fucking wire by hand, don't be lazy, build your own shit. Reindustrialize the USA.

🇺🇸 Reindustrialization isn't just about building more factories. It's about rebuilding the conditions that allow a healthy middle class to exist. @PatrickJWolf, Executive Director and Chair at @JeffRoman_IAMT, makes that case directly to host @Matt_Horine in Episode 61. White collar and blue collar jobs are how you get there, he argues, but the real test is whether people end up with enough of a stake in the system to shape it, not just live with whatever happens to them. It's also the context for why the other barriers in the conversation, permitting, the power grid, who gets a voice in policy, matter in the first place: because of what's at stake if they don't get solved. What you'll learn: ☑️ Why the people actually building America's industrial comeback are often the last to have any say in the policy written about them ☑️ Why one small request for help was all it took to end a Minnesota manufacturer and the 88 jobs that came with it ☑️ Why some of the most widely cited reindustrialization statistics may be less reliable than they appear ☑️ Why Patrick remains optimistic about America's ability to rebuild despite the challenges ahead 🎧 Listen now: 👉 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/67W5HA… 👉 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u-s… 👉 YouTube: youtu.be/20H6E9c0fsw?si…

@Garrath_R @Durindal_US Congratulations gentlemen! Keep up the good and important work.

Excited to announce the new @Durindal_US HQ is coming to McLean Va - August 2026 Excited to be in the heart of intelligence and defense technology. We’ll be partnering with several organizations in Fairfax County providing sales and operations training and advisory to local defense-focused startups. Just. Getting. Started.

The biggest constraint on rebuilding America’s maritime industrial base is not steel, it’s talent. Great discussion @reindsummit on workforce readiness, Project Patriot Pipeline, and connecting more Americans to the mission of strengthening our national security.

we will be posted up outside of the reindustrialize conference to hire operators come work in the factory 🇺🇸
