🟢 Military Procurement | 4/10 🇺🇸 USAF plans to purchase E-7A Wedgetail aircraft The United States Air Force has announced plans to acquire five Boeing E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft. This decision adds to an existing contract for two prototypes of this type. Consequently, the total number of ordered aircraft will reach seven units. At the same time, the U.S. military department has adjusted its earlier intentions regarding a larger-scale replacement of the airborne early warning and control fleet. The new approach involves a more gradual modernization of the fleet rather than a single large-scale procurement. #OSINT #NewsGroup #USAF #E7AWedgetail #MilitaryProcurement #USA

🟢 Political Statement | 6/10 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 Trump suggests troop pullout from Germany, Pentagon not consulted US President Donald Trump has made an unexpected statement regarding a potential withdrawal of American troops from Germany. The proposal has stunned Pentagon officials, who were not consulted in advance about such plans. Defense officials view the announcement as abrupt and politically motivated. No official reaction has yet come from the German government or NATO leadership. Analysts note that such a move could significantly impact the European security architecture. #OSINT #NewsGroup #USA #Germany #TroopWithdrawal #NATO

🟢 War Cost Estimate | 6/10 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Operation Epic Fury cost estimated at $25-50 billion Operation Epic Fury has come with a staggering price tag for American taxpayers. The U.S. Department of War Comptroller officially estimates the cost of the military campaign at $25 billion. However, independent sources, including CBS, suggest the true figure is closer to $50 billion. This would make the actual cost roughly double the Pentagon's publicly stated amount. Crucially, this estimate does not account for damaged or destroyed equipment and U.S. military installations. #OSINT #NewsGroup #USA #Iran #WarCost #OperationEpicFury

🟢 Military Statement | 8/10 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 CENTCOM Commander briefs Trump on 'final blow' to Iran The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) held a classified briefing with President Donald Trump, during which he presented a plan for a so-called 'final blow' against Iran. This information emerged from reports by American media outlets. Details of the military operation have not been disclosed, but sources indicate a high level of readiness of US forces in the region. The briefing took place amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. Experts suggest that this could involve a large-scale military campaign targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure. #OSINT #NewsGroup #Iran #USA #CENTCOM #MilitaryThreat

A proposed data center in the Imperial Valley would need 750,000 gallons of water a day.

#USA Now, as Americans are entering the hottest part of what experts predict could be a record-shattering year of extreme weather, Republicans have introduced a new congressional bill to shield the fossil fuel industry. Like the gun industry law, this would prevent lawsuits that aim to hold fossil fuel producers responsible for any climate-change-driven impacts https://atmos.earth/political-landscapes/congress-once-shielded-gun-makers-now-its-fossil-fuel-companies-turn/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

FCC Moves to Yank Disney Broadcast Licenses as Trumps Demand ABC Fire Kimmel | Common Dreams

April 28, 2026 Press freedom advocates on Tuesday forcefully condemned the Republican-dominated Federal Communications Commission—and FCC Chair Brendan Carr in particular—for moving to challenge Disney-owned ABC’s broadcast licenses as President Donald Trump again pressures to network to fire late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel. “The First Amendment and the FCC’s mandate do not permit the agency to use broadcast licenses as weapons to punish broadcasters for constitutionally protected content they air,” declared Freedom of the Press Foundation chief of advocacy Seth Stern.

Goose and Gander I complained when M Carney used Google to talk to #Canadians. #Canada and its politicians must assert their #DigitalSovereignty, and that means making their content available in safe, surveillance-free venues FIRST, and only feed the #USA's #GAFAM / #AI / #SurveillanceEconomy SECOND. Walk the talk. And that includes you, @avilewis@mstdn.ca. Your #mastodon staffers know exactly what I am talking about: #Peertube, #Loops, #Pixelfed, and the rest of the #federated platforms. #Fediverse.
