Walmart Cuts Some Florida Jobs
After Immigration Rulings
By Daniela Sirtori and Jaewon Kang
06/03/2025 19:12:22 [BNI
(Bloomberg) -- Walmart Inc. is terminating some jobs in Florida following recent Supreme Court rulings about legal residency of migrants, the latest sign that such orders are hitting US workplaces.
The company has told some employees in at least two stores in the state that they would lose jobs if they don't get new work authorizations, said people familiar with the matter.
The terminations are connected to I-9 forms that
US employers use to check the identity and employment authorization of staff, the people said.
The exact number of job cuts couldn't be learned.
A company spokeswoman declined to comment.

Good morning. It is now 12:01 AM, which means tariffs on nearly all steel & aluminum have been raised to 50%. That includes an increase in the tariffs on steel & aluminum content in derivatives, plus a new tariff on derivatives' non-metal content based on country-level tariffs

Thus began "The Web." Sources in the Security Service of Ukraine published footage of preparations for a special operation targeting Russia’s strategic aviation. The video shows one of the trucks, loaded with modular houses, setting off on a journey - a very interesting and eventful one.

In sum, this was a highly successful operation for Ukraine. While it may not bring a quick reduction in the aerial threat to Ukrainian cities, it degraded a critical segment of Russia’s force projection. At the end it might influence a potential agreement to restrict long-range strikes in the future

Reposted by Magre Risate

…as Russia typically employs 7 to 11 bombers per salvo, it does have longer-term implications. The loss of even a portion of these asset especially ones that are almost impossible to replace reduces Russia’s capacity for long-range force projection and its overall geostrategic flexibility.

We believe this selectivity was a deliberate decision to avoid escalations by targeting key elements of Russia’s nuclear triad, while still degrading assets actively involved in missile strikes. While this operation is unlikely to quickly diminish the frequency of missile strikes against Ukraine…

If we focus strictly on destroyed aircraft, the loss of 11 bombers out of an 80-plane operational fleet represents roughly 13.75% of Russia’s operational strategic bomber force. Ukrainian strikes seem to deliberately avoided the more modern Tu-160 bombers, instead targeting the Tu-95 and Tu-22M3

Some claims suggest over 20 bombers may have been damaged or destroyed, but we have not yet seen credible visual confirmation to support those higher estimates. There have also been unverified reports of an A-50 AWACS being hit. However, we have found no evidence to substantiate these claims.

Reposted by Magre Risate

Based on available satellite imagery and open sources, we estimate that at least 11 bombers and one An-12 transport aircraft were destroyed, with two additional bombers likely damaged. This brings the confirmed and probable toll to between 13 and 14 aircraft.

A few additional observations regarding the recent strike on Russia’s strategic aviation may help clarify its scale and implications. Our team assesses the operational strength of the Russian strategic bomber fleet to be at 70 to 90 aircraft. A midpoint estimate puts the number at around 80.

Satellite image of Ivanovo Severny air base obtained by Hurin92 shows one A-50 early warning and control aircraft, possibly damaged/destroyed. Notably, the highlighted piles of debris or ruble seen in the image had already appeared a week prior to the attack and likely do not indicate new damage.
