BREAKING, re: Kennedy Center: Judge orders Trump administration to explain by Friday its construction plans (the tarp is still up) and what it is doing to ensure that programming continues after July 5.

This sounds like reparations for committing a war crime. Iran gets the Marshall Plan while Ukraine gets ignored and Europeans are left wondering why the US has abandoned them.

it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount+

Norway fans are doing a “Viking Row” up the escalator at Boston’s South Station before heading to the World Cup

Adding this to the list of things I’ve never seen before and probably never will again

UFC boss Dana White condemns fighter Josh Hokit for saying "Michelle Obama is a man" during the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 event.

“I understand that the Obama’s are public figures but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families. Everyone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.”

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Brit Hume on Iran peace deal: “Possibly a great triumph if all the things that President Trump is saying are in the deal turn out to be in the deal and adhered to.”

“But he’s at a bit of a political disadvantage because of the extravagant things he’s said about what we accomplished in the early going. The goal he said at one time was unconditional surrender.”

“Iran has lost a lot but this is not unconditional surrender, this is what you get when you negotiate. The administration has clearly given some ground here but the President says correctly perhaps that none of the money that’s been frozen or sanctions relief that Iran wants to get will be forthcoming until and unless they play ball on the nuclear matter but they will get the Strait opened to them as well and that’s the source of millions of dollars a day. So there’s going to be criticism of this and not just from Democratic partisans.”

Kerry Kennedy on her brother RFK JR: There was a snake in the garden. He rushed over with his infant son in one hand—he grabbed this snake and stuffed it into the pillowcase while he was holding his infant son.

He walked up to where the rest of the birthday party was, and he reached into the bag. And the snake was just chomping on his hand, and he pulled out the snake to show the kids. Then there was a vole and he grabbed that with his hand and he put it into the bag with the snake, which made all the kids scream.

Then we went over to his house a mile away. There were tons of kids in the swimming pool and he released this snake that had chomped on his hand into the swimming pool.

Now, so this is somebody who, on the one hand, has a fascination with nature, but on the other hand has, you know, a lack of judgment when it comes to the safety and care of children and of and so is this the person who you want running HHS who's got this lack of judgment when it comes to health and safety?

Connecticut has confirmed the first measles case of 2026.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health has confirmed a case in an unvaccinated adult Hartford County resident who recently traveled internationally. The individual developed symptoms after returning and is currently hospitalized in stable condition.

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory illness that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Symptoms of measles may include:
• Fever
• Cough
• Runny nose
• Red eyes
• Sore throat
• Rash that typically appears a few days after symptoms begin

Vaccination remains the best protection against measles. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing illness.

DPH continues to monitor the situation and reminds residents that staying up to date on routine vaccinations helps protect both individual and community health.

Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!

Gov. @GavinNewsom: To Donald Trump, who I know is watching because he watches everything, I have a message for you. You can subpoena my records, you can investigate me, you can harass me. Put my name on every and any enemies list you have, but leave my wife and family out of your personal vendetta.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
