Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…

In the deepest, darkest recesses of the fever dream minds of right wingers who screamed about Clinton, Obama, and Biden, they could not fathom this type of failure. A complete and utter humiliation of our nation thanks to the Con Man in Chief.
Trump is getting fleeced by Iran The deal: • $24B cash oil sales • Just 60 days of open Hormuz Iran pockets $30B in two months Day 61, Iran can close Hormuz again, and repeat the extortion Massive loss for Trump—Huge win for Iran

So…God makes a rainbow when Trump’s name is getting taken off the Kennedy Center and sends thunderstorms to disrupt his hillbilly birthday celebration…but not a single evangelical who sees Jesus in their toast every morning can tell whether these are signs.

When the idea of a military parade to showcase American power was raised, President Eisenhower gave a blunt response: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

This is the official channel of the United States Army broadcasting a private corporations live feed. This is illegal. No one in the Republican Congress will lift a finger.

Remember in his first term when Ivanka hawked beans and Magats spent the 4th of July in Russia and he sold pardons for $1M and also committed treason? We thought he was bad then.

When you realize we’ve lost a decade of our lives to a Trump presidency and could have had real leadership, your heart breaks a little.

This is beyond ludicrous. Why the hell are U.S. Marines and soldiers saluting a UFC fighter? The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not celebrities, influencers, or the latest personality cult. Watching service members rendered as props for a UFC spectacle is beneath the dignity of the uniform and beneath the dignity of the country.
Community note
These service members are saluting Medal of Honor recipient Ty Carter, who is walking with the UFC fighter. By tradition, all U.S. military personnel salute Medal of Honor recipients regardless of rank. mohmuseum.org/medal-recipien… army.mil/medalofhonor/c…

Looking forward to the fights. Happy birthday, @POTUS! #UFCWhiteHouse

This is what it looks like in front of the Lincoln Memorial now after Trump’s Birthday Party. Who’s paying to clean this mess up because we know it’s not the UFC!

My son graduated from his nephrology fellowship last night. A huge evening for him. A proud evening for our family. In perhaps one of the most poetic moments for me, I found out that his mentor, one of the amazing and brilliant physicians who took the time and effort to train him is a nephrologist originally from Israel. An amazing physician who enthusiastically took my son under her wing to help him become the doctor he has grown into. A healer who will put his patients first. Always. A teacher who will train the next group of nephrologists. So to wake up the morning after such a lovely evening and see a medical publication like the Lancet ostracize Israeli doctors hits close to home. Israel is a medical powerhouse. A place of medical innovation that punches above its weight. When even physicians start to see their colleagues as "other" it is not just Israeli doctors or Israelis who suffer, it is patients around the world who will not benefit from their skills and knowledge. It is young doctors like my own son who learned to become a physician because a doctor who happens to be Israeli took the time, care and effort to mentor him. What is the world coming to? Have we lost our minds? We cannot allow this to continue. Israeli doctors are no more responsible for the actions and decisions of their government than an American, Chinese, French, Russian or Indian doctor is for theirs. Publications like The Lancet cannot allow themselves to become vehicles of antisemitism. Please. Stop. Before it is too late.
The Lancet, one of the most important medical journals in the world, published a petition today calling for the suspension of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) from the World Medical Association (WMA). 1,150 professionals signed the petition because the IMA "failed to condemn the genocide of the Palestinians, the destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system, and the torture of detainees." The IMA has, in actuality, spent the entire war advocating for Gazans, petitioning the government to ensure medical supplies were entering Gaza, and demanding that hospitals in Gaza remain safe havens. But they're evil because they didn't use the word genocide? It doesn't matter what you do for Palestinians or how you fight for them if you don't use a certain word? What happened to "actions speak louder than words?"

A UN Special Rapporteur says there was a "concerted effort" inside the UN to prevent allegations from October 7 being formally recorded and that colleagues were bullied into not signing a letter documenting the atrocities. When the world's leading human rights institution cannot honestly document the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, it has a credibility problem.

Boarded my flight at DCA National airport. Come to find out, the president of the United States has paused ALL flights because of the UFC fight at the White House. The air traffic controllers were not warned, nor were the airport staff or travelers.

Great watch, very perceptive. I've seen this exact progression occur to people here, people who I liked, trusted, related to, people who I couldn't have imagined would ever go this way. The process starts with small steps but always leads to the same place.
People completely misunderstand how radicalisation against Jews works. If you think it starts with hatred, listen up.

Brilliant thread
Hi, I'm new to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. I need help from the internet to understand who to support. I just have a few questions: 1. What country is Israel actually “occupying” in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank)? Was there ever a real sovereign country called “Palestine”? Help me out, I can't find one.
