One of the most recognizable lawns in the world is nearly ready for fight night.
The UFC Octagon is in place outside the White House for the "UFC Freedom 250" celebration on June 14th — which is also President Trump's birthday.
Preparations have been underway for weeks, including the installation of a roughly 90-foot-tall steel arch, dubbed the "claw." The event is expected to attract 4,000 spectators.
Today, @FLOTUS@MELANIATRUMP launched her Fostering the Future Accounts, a new financial resource established to empower foster youth to be fiscally autonomous upon reaching the age of majority.

Wow! Becerra makes it clear - - Free healthcare for non-US citizens in California.
Get ready for huge tax increases and fewer services for legal citizens.
This is billion$.
Becerra says: “No one loses their health care because of where they were born”
This is absolutely insane:
The SpaceX IPO has now drawn more than $70 BILLION worth of retail orders alone.
SpaceX is raising $75 billion, making retail interest ALONE enough to nearly fill the entire sale.
To put this in perspective, the previous record IPO was Saudi Aramco in 2020 at $29.4 billion.
This means that retail interest in SpaceX is now 2.4 TIMES larger than the total amount raised in the previous largest IPO in history.
As a result, SpaceX has announced that 20% of their IPO will be allocated to retail investors, following through on @elonmusk's vision to democratize the record IPO.
Nothing even remotely near what SpaceX is about to do has ever happened.
Friday will be a historic day.
Jay Clayton is an OUTSTANDING choice by President Trump to serve as Director of National Intelligence. Jay is a proven leader with a distinguished record of public service and sound judgment needed to lead our intelligence community. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure his swift confirmation.
Trump plans to nominate US Attorney Jay Clayton to be director of national intelligence. Democrats as usual trying to derail progress. https://t.co/LjZRgswwKE
Trump calls on GOP to pass a third reconciliation bill with $350 billion in defense spending — but his own party fires back with deep skepticism. Sen. John Kennedy calls it a 'very, very long shot' before midterms, while Sen. Collins says reconciliation 'is not the best approach.' The push comes just hours after Trump signed the second reconciliation bill into law, and with Republicans increasingly at odds with the White House over legislative strategy.
LizzieMac - do you really think those of us who support entrepreneurs have any respect for people like Obama, Elizabeth Warren, AOC et al who don't even know how to spell "business?"
AOC, fmr President Barack Obama and Senator Elizabeth Warren attack entrepreneurs like Elon Musk claiming “you didn’t earn that,” “you didn’t build that” as government pension funds, left wing run universities and union pensions will profit mightily from the SpaceX IPO. Notably govt pension funds nationwide like CalPERS, NYS/NYC pension funds will own Spacex shares via index funds.
SpaceX will likely be included in indexes such as MSCI, Nasdaq, FTSE Russell, or total-market benchmarks, so government pension funds, 401(k)s, and index fund investors would likely become SpaceX shareholders automatically.
Also Democrats talk like the passenger who doesn’t pay for gas but lectures the driver. It’s companies and workers who pay the Democrats’ paychecks. Entrepreneurs break their backs, take financial risks just to be falsely told their success belongs to the government so they can cash the checks and to justify taking more in taxes.
The road didn’t start the business. The entrepreneur did. Millions of people use the same roads, schools, and internet. Very few take the risk, work the long hours, hire employees, and build something valuable.
The making of the world’s first trillionaire, if sudden—Musk was worth less than $25 billion just six years ago and $150 billion five years ago—has always been inevitable.

@elonmusk@Gwynne_Shotwell@BretWJ Thank you so much for your innovations in the sky! You make America so proud! All the best for tomorrow's IPO! GO @SpaceX !
President Trump Just Revealed the Incredible Bravery of the Two Apache Pilots Attacked by Iran Over the Strait of Hormuz.
An Iranian drone packed full of explosive ordnance slammed into their helicopter, got lodged between the two pilots, and by the grace of God, it didn't detonate.
These warriors kept their composure, survived the crash, and held on for two hours in open water until they were rescued, for the first time in military history, by an unmanned sea drone.
Both safe. Both uninjured.
This is the American warfighter. Nerves of steel.
God bless our troops. 🇺🇸
Democrats want to defund the intelligence-gathering capability that has been responsible for 90% of synthetic drug disruptions enabled by the CIA and has prevented terrorist attacks.
FISA Section 702 is a tool for national security, and it needs to be reauthorized.
The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.
Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.
Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.
Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.
