Hegseth forces out Army’s top general, two other senior officers Gen. Randy George’s ouster is the latest clash between the Pentagon chief and the service’s senior leadership, and comes during the war in Iran.

NEW: It's not just Gen. Randy George on the way out.

Defense officials tell me and Tara Copp that Hegseth also is removing:

Gen. David Hodne, commander of Transformation and Training Command

Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., head of the Army's chaplain corps

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG.

And it won’t get 1% of the coverage.

Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

From Filament to Firepower: 3D Printing’s Impact on Warfare While much ink has been spilled over how 3D printing has enabled intense drone-on-drone warfare in Ukraine, the U.S. defense and intelligence communities

When production becomes something you can download, the rules start to change. 3D printing is pushing that reality closer.

I wonder what the odds are for the petrodollar to be (partially) replaced by yuan in the scenario US walks away and Iran keeps charging for safe passage of the Strait of Hormuz, as they said they will.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

This is a great way for ICE agents to get absolutely wrecked by a bunch of swarming PFCs who know they have orders already printed and can’t really be controlled.

Investment in triage and stabilization innovations would go a long way to limit the list of injuries that the golden hour matters.

And these investments have a positive double-tap that advancements can go straight to emergency responders in CONUS...

Win-win imho...

Hundreds of Millions of iPhones Can Be Hacked With a New Tool Found in the Wild A powerful iPhone-hacking technique known as DarkSword has been discovered in use by Russian hackers. It can take over devices running iOS 18 that simply visit infected websites.

A second iOS exploit has been found in the wild, again used by Russian spies to infect websites and hack visitors' iPhones. This one works on iOS 18, and appeared in a very reusable form, so will likely proliferate.

If you haven't updated your iPhone, now's the time. www.wired.com/story/hundre...

Social Circle officials cut off water to site of planned Georgia ICE detention "mega-center" The City of Social Circle​ has a message for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement: No water for its planned detention center until the agency starts sharing information.

DHS bought a warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, for a new detention center. When the city asked them for information on needed water and sewage use, they refused to answer, so the city cut off the water and sewage and locked it down until they get a proper answer.
