Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Ukraine’s drones losing their Starlink connection mid-flight, with Elon Musk insisting it wasn’t him and pointing at Trump, whose “energy ceasefire” Russia honored by bombing Ukraine’s power grid. Jared has a reminder about what happens to American proxies once a better deal comes along, and then it’s on to the Pentagon sending troops south to “fight drug trafficking” while cocaine gets cheaper in Miami, and the hack that cooked the fridges in 400 French supermarkets, which looks a lot like somebody testing the next theater of war.
