Ukraine may not be close in physical proximity to the United States, but until recently, the idea that the United States was for freedom everywhere and against totalitarian oppression everywhere was understood to be U.S. policy.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.

Lake Tahoe’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year on account of the utility's "own resource needs." NV Energy has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand. Via @calmatters:

The Man Who Went Shopping For Dining Chairs and Accidentally Bought Stonehenge.
On September 21, 1915, a British barrister named Cecil Chubb was given a very simple task by his wife, Mary. She sent him to a local auction in Salisbury with strict instructions: buy a nice set of dining chairs for their home.
But as Chubb sat in the auction house, he got distracted. "Lot 15" came up for sale, a 30-acre plot of land featuring a crumbling, dilapidated ring of ancient rocks. The bidding was incredibly sluggish, and on a complete whim, Chubb raised his hand.
When the gavel fell, he had just purchased Stonehenge for £6,600 (roughly $800,000 today). He proudly presented the 5,000-year-old megalithic wonder to his wife as a surprise "birthday present."
Mary was absolutely furious. She didn't want a pile of ancient rocks; she wanted her dining chairs.
Three years later, tired of his wife’s complaints and realizing the immense historical weight of his impulse purchase, Chubb donated the entire monument to the British government.
He attached one strict condition: the public must always have access to it. Today, it stands protected forever, all because a husband couldn't stick to a shopping list.

Breaking: The President's son is on a heater
Donald Trump Jr's fund invested in one of the only U.S. rare earth magnet startups at a $200M valuation
Three months later, the Pentagon awarded Vulcan a $620M loan and the Commerce Dept took a $50M equity stake
In February, Trump announced a $12B rare earth strategic reserve
Today, the company is now valued at $2 billion. That's a 10x for Trump Jr in under a year
Vulcan is building the largest rare earth magnet factory outside of China. The U.S. says it needs to stop relying on China, which controls 90% of global rare earth processing
The timing is either the greatest coincidence in investing history, or it isn't

Gen. PETRAEUS: The future of warfare—not yet seen in the Gulf—is Ukraine producing 7 million drones per year. Last year they made 3.5 million, enabling 9–10 thousand drones per day.
These are still remotely piloted. But autonomous systems are coming, and that means drone swarms. They're already being introduced at mission end. Defending against swarms is really hard—you'll need high-powered microwaves or similar.
We're not where we should be, despite what we should have learned from Ukraine for a very long time. They're making software changes every week or two, hardware changes every 2–3 weeks.

Cooper: The president seemed to indicate that he had not been briefed that Iran might strike out at its neighbors or try to shut down the strait of hormuz. Is that conceivable to you?
Bolton: I know for a fact that he was aware of those potentials. I raised the option of regime change in Iran several times during the time I was national security advisor. I never persuaded the president to adopt that position. And one reason was that others had different views. And every time I raised it, they raised a whole long list of difficulties that are entailed by a regime change campaign and if you're going to embark on it, you better have answers to them. And certainly, closing the strait of hormuz was always one of them. And so were attacks on the gulf Arab states, particularly their oil infrastructure. So he knew about it in his first term. I find it hard to believe that he forgot about it in the intervening years.
