The big problem with these UFC fights for Trump is that they reinforce the idea that he's is out of touch with Americans. Just 16% say these fights are appropriate. Even just 31% of the GOP do. This comes as 60% of voters & 80% of indies say the White House is out of touch.

Rep Jeffries nailed it: Trump ripped up a working nuclear deal because he suffers from Obama Derangement Syndrome. It brought together Britain, France, Germany, and more, but Trump destroyed it out of pure jealousy. Now Iran is stronger and Americans are less safe.

We are fighting the satanic west to defend traditional Christian values. By bombing cathedrals.

On this day in 1389, Ottoman and Serbian forces clash at the Battle of Kosovo. The fighting is intense and inconclusive, with both armies' leaders killed. Centuries, Serb nationalists reinterpret the battle, portraying it as a symbol of national sacrifice and identity.

The Knicks winning a championship while the World Cup cultural exchange is happening might be the legitimate antidote to the individualistic nihilism that’s poisoned so much of our country for the last decade or so People want community. They want whimsy. It’s fun to have fun
Update people are so happy they’ve just started running around the fountain in Washington square park 🧡💙🧡

Elon Musk is being given 715 acres of land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. A lawsuit has been filed by numerous Conservation groups. They say it violates laws that are protecting refuges and harms endangered species. It’s on a National Historic Landmark.

This deal reopens a body of water that was open before the war and begins a nuclear negotiation far narrower than what Trump was seeking before the war. All at a staggering cost to the entire world while leaving an IRGC-led government that feels strengthened.

APPLEBAUM: Putin has grip on power unlike almost any other leader in the world. He controls enormous economic, political, social, propaganda levers. At the same time, it's important to remember that there's nothing more fragile than system in which there is no obvious successor. The funny thing about Putin is that not only do we not know who would replace him, we don't know how that person would be chosen. There's no Politburo, there's no Soviet Communist Party, there's no internal group that would choose the next leader. So, you have this weird, precarious situation where you have this strong system that, without him, would suddenly become very chaotic.

Markwayne Mullin: "The Democrats always want to throw out the Constitution all the time. Well, great — let's throw out the Constitution. I mean, not throw it out, but throw it out as an argument…I meant throw out the Constitution as an excuse."

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland fans discovered you can't drink in public in Boston and immediately hired a boat to start getting on the pints at 10am. No one is having more fun at the World Cup than the Tartan Army 😂

Racism and hatred have no place in Ireland. Today, we gathered to stand against those seeking to sow fear, division and intolerance in our communities. The response from ordinary people across this island has been one of solidarity, compassion and unity. Together, we will not allow hate to define who we are.

Journalists sitting on massive scoops about important people in this country—stories the American people deserve to know—just so they can sell books later is everything wrong with journalism today.

.@NYCMayor said he didn’t go to sleep til 3:45a following the #Knicks win. “We’ve been waiting for this for 53 years, and it just feels like the entire city is alive. The biggest city in the country feels like the smallest town in the world.”

Iran was economically decimated (in part due to Trump 1.0 sanctions), We are now going to send them 1-3x their GDP as reparations and release the sanctions that crippled them. If you think we won, you’re an idiot.

I wouldn’t be here if not for La Bamba. As always, my deepest gratitude to the Valenzuela Family. The documentary American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (playing wide this year) beautifully chronicles the genesis of that film and my casting.

Longevity is earned. Looking back, was there one role that changed the trajectory of everything that came after?

Credit where it's due: instead of shutting down unpermitted outdoor watch parties / block parties, the mayor actively encouraged them and had police close off streets for them. Totally transformed the city

Claiming it is AI generated when the guy posted it himself, and the post had a URL that then said “deleted by the author” is next level stupid lol
We are aware of the fake, AI generated screenshots being circulated online. I have never spoken to Daniel. He has since deleted his post, which confirms it was clearly fabricated. @UFC @danawhite
Community note
Multiple journalists and eyewitnesses confirm Daniel Cormier posted the screenshots himself before deleting them. Deleting a post from a verified account does not confirm fabrication, and participants in a conversation cannot 'fall for' AI fakes of their own direct messages. mediaite.com/media/sports/f… mmamania.com/ufc-white-hous…
