Love the focus on the full cycle of service. Give us the best gear to dominate and the best care on the back end. Well said, Matt, and very representative of the @DCVC team.
The best way my team at @DCVC and I know to honor our Veterans is to do this, every day: build the things that give warfighters an edge before combat, save their lives during combat, & heal them—mind and body—better & faster if they ever need it. This is the very least we owe them, and those who came before them, on this and every other day of the year. 🫡🇺🇸

Rail served sites close to a base or Army depot are going to be priced at a premium for the next couple years. @intramotev x.com/AtomsNotBits/s…
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: American rail startup @intramotev is enabling autonomous railcars for U.S. Army logistics and operating them 16 hours a day at American mines.
Based in St. Louis, where all six major U.S. freight railroads converge, the startup is retrofitting existing s technology.

Something is on the horizon
10 November 1775, a legacy took its first breath.
A fighting spirit found its name.
A new breed of warrior was born.
For 251 years, the Marine Corps has been fighting and winning our Nation’s battles. Happy Birthday, Marines.

Marine Arrogance
A Marine Sergeant wrote this in response to an army guy who posted a comment on a Marine Corps site that he was sick and tired of "Marine Arrogance."
The Sergeant said...
"I think that's what makes Marines special, if only in our own minds, is that elusive rps. It's the fact that we, as individual Marines, don't feel that we are individual Marines. When we wear our uniform, when we hear our Hymn, when we go into battle, we are going with every other Marine who ever wore the uniform.
Standing behind us are the Marines who fought during the birth of our nation. We're standing with the Marines who fought in WWI and gave birth to the legend of the "Teuful Hunden," or "Devil Dogs." We are standing with the Marines who took Iwo and Tarawa and countless other blood soaked islands throughout the Pacific.
We are standing with the "Frozen Chosin" and our beloved Chesty Puller. We are standing with the Marines who battled at Hue City and Khe Sanh and the muddy rice paddies of South East Asia. We are standing with the Marines who fought in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom and now are fighting in Afghanistan.
Like real brothers, their blood courses through our veins, and when we go into battle, we would rather lay down our lives than be a disappointment to them. We carry on our backs their legacy, their deaths, and their honor. We carry that for the rest of our lives.
The Marine Corps uniform doesn't come off when our active duty is over. We wear it daily in our attitude and our love of Corps and country. We wear it on our tattoos and our bumper stickers. We wear it on our hearts.
It's why, no matter where we are in the world, on November 10th, every Marine celebrates the Marine Corps birthday. It's why we'll never be an army of 1. It's why we never stop being Marines. It's why, for most of us, being a Marine isn't something we were. It's something we are.
It's the most important part of who and what we are. Some say we're arrogant. We say we're proud. We have a right to be proud. We are the United States Marines, the most feared and ferocious group of warriors to walk the face of this earth.
When America's enemies formulate their battle plans, they plan on going around Marine units because they know Damn well that they can't go through them. We are what other branches wish they were.
We are the modern day Spartans. This isn't bragging. It's written in the battle history of our country. When there's a parade and the Marines march by, everyone pays a little more attention. Some say, "arrogance." We call it "pride." It's why, in a crowd of servicemen, you can always spot the Marine. Why are Marines special? I don't know. We just are.

To builders making weapons, drones or vehicles for the Marine Corps: huddle up your entire team today (the C-suite, the engineers, the sales team, the ops team, everyone in your organization) and watch the 251st Birthday message. Fastest way to learn who your customer is and why we need what you're building. Also a surefire way to fire up the team.
Semper Fi, Marines. Happy 251st. x.com/USMC/status/21…

251 Years at the Tip of the Spear
For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.

NYC - powerhouse deal here. The trophy office market in the city is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Vornado, Ken Griffin and Rudin closed their joint venture for 350 Park Avenue in Manhattan today and closed a $3.3 billion construction loan for the project. Citadel Enterprise Americas signed a 1.05 million square foot anchor lease in the 66-story, 1.9 million square foot tower. Griffin holds 60 percent of the venture, Vornado holds 36 percent and Rudin holds 4 percent.

Build what matters.
If you are building the next AI CRM you are genuinely cooking your future grandchildren.
You are way too smart for something meaninglessly incremental.
Only things people should be building in SF:
>AI labs
>Compute maximization
>Reindustrialization
>Energy abundance
>Robotics & defense
>Bio
>Physical infra
Everything else becomes irrelevant if China wins.
They are already very, very far ahead of us in energy, metals, manufacturing capacity, and the general ability to produce physical things at scale.

Agreed. And put the building in the sim too. The best line in the world sits idle if the power isn't actually on. @konstantinsaifo @AirsupHQ x.com/konstantinsaif…
every hardware company should simulate their factory before they build it.
software teams have staging. hardware teams have "lets see what happens on the line🤡"

Good to see more batteries getting built here. One thing people miss - lithium batteries come with strict fire rules. If your real estate team isn't talking to the local fire marshal before you sign, you could end up stuck in a building you can't use. @newindustrials @ARPAE x.com/newindustrials…
The future of warfare runs on batteries. America needs to be able to build them.
Yesterday, NAIA joined @ARPAE and the Virtus Innovation Center in Arlington, Virginia, to host Next Generation Batteries for Tactical Systems, bringing together battery innovators, defense leaders to explore how we can accelerate the deployment of these technologies.
The mission: Get American innovation into the field, faster

More robots, more power, more builders nearby. Good to see Machina growing. @EdwardMehr @MachinaLabs_ x.com/MachinaLabs_/s…
Big Q3 at Machina.
More RoboCraftsmen. New software. Hypersonics. Custom vehicles. UAVs. And a lot more metal.
This is exciting but our plans are far more ambitious. We need more engineers and builders that want to rethink what a factory should be.
Come build unconventional with us.

The clock starts the day you pick the building. Build close to where they fly and fixes get back out to the field faster. Think about that before you sign a lease - being close to your end user is big. Also know the floor plan of the building you're leasing. Can it adapt as the feedback changes and the drone changes? x.com/BreakingDefens…

From 120 STRIKERs for testing to an order for 6,000!! Lets go! Now comes the hard part - building them in the US at that scale and fast. Also the only drone company I know of with its own construction arm to handle the factory build-outs. There are a few selective markets they should build them. @XTEND_XR @shapira7392 businesswire.com/news/home/2026…
