Can you monitor a situation without monitors? The Polymarket sports bar tried

Polymarket opened a pop-up bar called the Situation Room in Washington D.C.'s Mount Vernon Triangle, but the event flopped when its wall of TV monitors—the bar's central feature—stopped working, forcing an early closure. Meanwhile, the White House released a framework for a comprehensive national AI bill, and a Project 2025 splinter group of conservative activists declared opposition to AI and venture capital firm a16z, highlighting a growing rift within the MAGA coalition between tech-aligned and traditional conservative factions.
