1. 28,000+ unique parts across nearly 1,400 weapon systems contain antimony, gallium, germanium, or tungsten. 2. More than 240 U.S. forging plants have closed over the past two decades, leaving 152 in operation.

Agentic AI is changing cyber operations faster than most institutions can adapt. The question isn’t whether machine-speed cyber operations are coming. It’s whether we’re ready. In our new report, Changing the Game, James Ryseff and Kaci McBrayer find that in bounded environments, agentic AI gives one skilled operator the tempo of a whole team. 🧵

Agents still fall short on stealth, novel problems, and long chains of uncertain actions. To prepare, America should: • Give cyber operators the best models at every classification level • Mobilize the private sector for machine-speed defense, Y2K-style • Rebuild cyber training and competitions for the agentic era Read the full report: scsp.ai/changing-the-game/?u…

The Iran war, rising costs, and a new Congress. What happens next? Joshua Hodges acknowledges the war’s impact on living costs while arguing that many Americans still support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. @michael_kuiken says higher gas prices were predictable. He points to Congress’s power over funding, but hopes for a negotiated path forward before lawmakers move to restrict it.

🎧 New on NatSec Tech: The headlines say munitions shortage. The real story is bigger. Aging weapon systems, slow maintenance, and siloed, manual processes are straining U.S. military readiness and, with it, deterrence. @JeanneMeserve sits down with Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air, to unpack what she calls the readiness gap: the widening distance between what the frontline needs and what the system delivers. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/4HV… 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=RjA9eV2B…
