Ops Brief 059: Daily Drop - 10 June 2025 (Relaxation Cubes, Drone Wars & Newsom’s Meltdown)

Send us Fan Mail

Buckle up. In this Daily Drop, Jared steamrolls through a Pentagon fever dream where California governors cry about sovereignty, the Air Force funds anxiety nap pods, and Russia’s Spiderweb drone strikes are the new nightmare fuel. Meanwhile, Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A., the Air Force downs another billion on wingman drones, and Space Force is somehow both broke and booming.

The DoD can’t acquire software on time, the Air Force is buying nap boxes instead of fixing actual morale, and Space Force wants $4B more to figure out what they even do. If you were hoping for clarity, this ain’t it. But if you like chaos with a side of sarcasm and defense budget insanity—you’re in the right place.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Trump deploys 2,000 Guard troops to L.A.—Newsom loses his mind.
• Troops sent for “force protection,” but told not to load their weapons. Genius.
• National Guard troops slept on floors in SF—Newsom, you good?
• DoD's Signal messages conveniently "vanish" amid oversight.
• Relaxation cubes for Airmen: Cost millions. Results: “meh.”
• Space Force gets $4B boost, still can’t figure out what Guardians do.
• F-47 funding skyrockets while Navy’s FA-XX gets snubbed.
• Russia downs Ukraine F-16s… with Swedish help? Yeah.
• Golden Dome missile defense threatened by a spectrum auction. Wut.
• RDT&E budget logic: “$1B down to $75M” … wait, math?
