respectfully, I laughed

I just moved to DC after living in Michigan and Chicago for a while, and I’m realizing my wardrobe is still very much in my “hoodies and sweatpants” era 😂

But DC is SO cutesy and feminine, and I feel like I need a whole wardrobe upgrade! 😭💗

Eight countries commit to supporting the Canada-led Defence, Security and Resilience Bank

July 7, 2026
Ankara, Türkiye
In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada’s security – and that of our Allies and partners – depends on the strength of our partnerships and the resilience of our industrial base. To meet this moment, we must build at speed and scale to mobilise defence investment, expand defence production, and strengthen our collective security. To that end, Canada has been advancing efforts to establish the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB), a new multilateral financial institution that will bring together like-minded partners to mobilise and deploy private capital and support collective securityA key milestone was reached in April, when following multilateral negotiations in Montréal, Canada and partners agreed to the DSRB’s founding Articles of Agreement that will establish the framework for the new institution. During these negotiations, participating countries unanimously selected Canada as the host of the DSRB’s future headquarters. All Articles of the Charter successfully negotiated in Montréal in April 2026 constitute the only basis for the establishment of the Bank.

Today, at the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Türkiye, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, welcomed the support for the Canada-led DSRB by: Albania, Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg, Romania, Türkiye, and Ukraine. These countries will be entrusted with defining the initial policies and directives of the Bank, shaping its operations and ensuring benefits flow to members’ economies.

One Pentagon official quipped that they called it a “special military operation,” akin to Russian President VLADIMIR PUTIN’s pet term for his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A second Pentagon official said the administration has tried to avoid calling the strikes a “war” as a means “to avoid needing Congress authorization.” NatSec Daily granted them both anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the media.

Trump orders US carrier strike group to Caribbean
The move is a major escalation of warships in the region.

President Donald Trump has ordered an aircraft carrier strike group to the Caribbean, a major escalation of warships in the region as the U.S. attacks alleged drug-running boats and increases pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

they're gonna make everyone move to a new tiktok US app...?
The arrangement, discussed by U.S. and Chinese negotiators in Madrid this week, would create a new U.S. entity to operate the app, with U.S. investors holding a roughly 80% stake and Chinese shareholders owning the rest, the people said.

This new company would also have an American-dominated board with one member designated by the U.S. government.

Existing users in the U.S. would be asked to shift to a new app, which TikTok has built and is testing, people familiar with the matter said. TikTok engineers will re-create a set of content-recommendation algorithms for the app, using technology licensed from TikTok’s parent ByteDance, the people said. U.S. software giant Oracle, a longtime TikTok partner, would handle user data at its facilities in Texas, they said.

defense is the specialest boy, always has been, etc
If defense suppliers here at DSEI, or elsewhere, wonder how Washington’s tariffs apply to their shipments, the Pentagon just offered some clarity. In fact, some shipments don’t need to be taxed at all.

A recent Pentagon memo tells its contracting officers to use a long-standing but rarely used tool: a clause that lets Defense Department suppliers skip customs duties on certain foreign-made parts. That includes goods from countries with reciprocal defense procurement deals, products covered by World Trade Organization rules and shipments where duties top $300.

hey quick question what the fuck
Department of State
@StateDept
Our nation was founded on the recognition that moral virtue and a steadfast faith in God are necessary preconditions of freedom. Yet under the Biden Administration, U.S. foreign policy belittled Christianity and weaponized government against faith.
That era has ended.
Under 
@POTUS
’s leadership, the State Department will eradicate practices that devalue and demean the Christian faith.

PLAN 🤝 CCG gotta run into something in the SCS
A Chinese navy vessel has collided with one from its own coast guard while chasing a Philippine patrol boat in the South China Sea, with Manila releasing dramatic video footage of the confrontation.

The incident occurred near the contested Scarborough Shoal as the Philippine Coast Guard escorted boats distributing aid to fishermen in the area, spokesman Commodore Jay Tarriela said in a statement.

Video released by Manila showed a China Coast Guard ship and a much larger vessel bearing the number 164 on its hull colliding with a loud crash.

"the private sector can just do jobs data" no! fuck off!
You’re asking me to contemplate the nuclear scenario. The BLS ceases to exist, is that what you’re asking?

Well, or people no longer see its data as reliable.

The information foundation for all kinds of decision-making would be significantly damaged. There is a bunch of sort of optimistic talk of that, gosh, with the emergence of big data from so many sources that it’s possible to construct alternative indicators and we could get along. But what isn’t widely appreciated is that the value of those alternative indicators depends greatly on being able to rely on the outputs of the BEA, BLS and Census Bureau as the starting point, the agreed-upon foundation from which the alternative indicators will be built.

— RUSSIA, CHINA EYE LUNAR NUCLEAR PLANT: That China-Russia “No Limits” partnership is about way more than Beijing’s support for Moscow’s war on Ukraine or discounted oil and gas. The two countries have inked a “memorandum of cooperation” to construct a nuclear power plant on the moon, the South China Morning Post reported Wednesday. That facility would keep the lights on at a planned Russia-China International Lunar Research Station that the two countries aim to have operational by 2036.
