Topuria vs Gaethje • Pereira vs Gane
UFC Freedom 250 is set for Sunday, June 14, on the White House South Lawn, with “The Claw” turning the seat of power into a patriotic fight-night stage.

Biolab Files Still Hover
Biolab claims remain in the disclosure lane: funding trails, overseas research, public trust, and arguments over what’s documented versus what’s merely alleged.
Iran, Courts, Borders & Systems
Iran Sunday Signing Watch
Trump says a deal with Iran is slated for Sunday and that the Strait of Hormuz will be “open to all.” Iran has signaled optimism but also says more time may be needed.
