Summary
A new type of bomb is being showcased for the Chinese regime, which aims to destroy an electric grid. A propaganda video for the bomb shows a simulation where the bomb is fired from a launcher, then breaks into cluster munitions to destroy an electric station. The video also comes on the heels of a concerning trend, where Chinese-manufactured signal jammers are being intercepted by U.S. customs agents.
In other news, border security has just gotten a boost from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Now, the Trump administration is expected to vastly increase its operations to deport illegal immigrants. And border czar Tom Homan recently issued statements on how that could look.
