How unsolved killings of Palestinian citizens reveal inequality in IsraelPalestinian citizens of Israel are being killed at record rates — roughly one person a day.

Munich, Germany —Many of the Democrats who came to the Munich Security Conference this weekend want to be president. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio speaks during the 62nd Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany on Saturday. And I think there’s a lesson to that.”Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks during the Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany, on Sunday. The issue: Taiwan, a fulcrum of US foreign policy that’s definitional for the relationship between the world’s two largest economies and superpowers. But it also showed she was unprepared to answer what is likely to become one of the central foreign policy challenges that will define the next century in geopolitics.

For Adesanya (24-5), the Seattle card presents another opportunity to reaffirm his elite status in a division he once ruled with style and dominance. Adesanya entered the UFC in 2018 with an unblemished 11-0 professional record, already boasting championship pedigree from Australia’s Hex Fight Series and AFC promotions. The Nigerian-born striker also carried a decorated kickboxing résumé, including two challenges for the Glory Middleweight title, before fully committing to mixed martial arts. Seeking double-champion status, Adesanya moved up to challenge light heavyweight titleholder Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259 but suffered his first professional defeat via decision. Now, as the UFC returns to Seattle for only the second time since 2013, Adesanya stands at another defining moment.

In early January 2026, an image circulated online purportedly showing a vintage advertisement for Smirnoff vodka that read, "Every morning's a Smirnoff morning." The alleged ad featured a woman in a bathrobe, sitting at a table with a cigarette and glass of vodka. In short, there is no evidence this was an authentic ad for Smirnoff vodka, nor that it was published in 1980. The newspaper described culture jamming as an effort to "sabotage advertising" and "sabotage television" by turning advertising "against itself." Another showed a destitute woman facing her first drink of the day with the text, "Every morning is a Smirnoff morning."

George Orwell’s “1984,” a dystopian classic novel, is a staple in American high school English and social studies curricula. Hence, as a result of this education, many Americans notice similarities between Trump and the patterns found in Orwell’s “1984” and Hitler’s era. CNN, AP, PBS and CBS News have catalogued 10 to 20 false or misleading claims per major appearance during Trump’s 2.0 presidency. Trump has linked migrants to an alleged Christian nationalists’ replacement of native-born Americans, which parallels the neo-Nazi’s far-right “Great Replacement” ideology. Reporting on Trump 2.0 describes deportation flights with migrants shackled as deliberate “theater,” meant to demonstrate state power.
