The Daily Drop is here and this one is overflowing with fraud, firepower, and the federal fumble reel. Jared dives into the Pentagon’s latest week of insanity: $10.8B in fraud? Check. Hypersonic missiles making a comeback? Check. A free Qatari plane that’s somehow costing $400M to modify? Check. And that’s before we even get to the Air Force’s new anti-ship missile flex, transgender cadet policy chaos, and the absurd SpaceX-White House pissing match.

Oh yeah—Space Force nostalgia? F-47 cockpit speculation? Missileer cancer rates? Welcome to another episode of “Who’s Driving This Thing?” The answer is: no one. Absolutely no one.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • NATO Supreme Commander: Now with five jobs, zero chill.
  • $10.8B in Pentagon fraud = “Not that much” but also a ton.
  • F-47 NGAD is the Raptor’s hot younger cousin—hopefully cheaper.
  • SOCOM still moves faster than Big Blue when it comes to acquisition.
  • Air Force’s new QuickSink missile is terrifyingly effective.
  • 40% of missileers possibly affected by cancer risk. Read that again.
  • Transgender cadets possibly banned after receiving full academy education.
  • Qatar gifted a 747… we’re spending $400M+ to fix it. What.
  • Space Force vs. Congress vs. Trump vs. Musk. Just vibes and rockets now.
  • Jared Isaacman for NASA Admin, or burn it all down.
  • The F-16 emergency wedding crashers in Alaska deserved better.
