Hezbollah ensures Israel can no longer hide its losses. Cheaply made FPV drones are crushing tanks & bases, inflicting soldier casualties in the 100s. Israel is now unable to hide its losses due to it all being caught on film. Robert Inlakesh on the implications of these new drone warfare tactics:

Speaking at the annual Congressional Picnic, President Trump said the war with Iran would end “very quickly” and that the country wants "to make a deal so badly."

Nurses deserve more than applause. Safe staffing, workplace protections and proper support matter. A health service cannot keep running on burnout and political failure.

Snakey is quite active. He likes to come downstairs & eat breakfast, he’ll spend time outside, smelling flowers and playing in the grass, after which it’s chore time. Snakey enjoys reading non-fiction then it’s off for a bath, a snack and bedtime. Sweet dreams. #childrenscontent #childrensstories

Easiest dimes of my life shooting around with him back in 2019

"We live in a sick care system and not a health care system - and that's the problem." At Global Conference 2026, our "Breakthroughs Reshaping Aging and Longevity" panelists provided their expertise. Watch the replay: milkeninstitute.org/content-hub/... #MIGlobal #GlobalConference

They clutched pearls over Dijon mustard. Over Billy Beer. Over Hunter repaying a truck loan. But Trump’s family is looting the Treasury in real time and Republicans are silent. Their selective outrage was never about ethics. It was always about power.

Andrew Stanton and McKenna Harris say they gave Woody a bald spot in ‘TOY STORY 5’ to show how much he's aged whilst travelling. “The story team is made up largely of young folks who have grown up with these same movies.”
