from Brett Breaks Things
Today, we break down the spectacle of Trump's White House UFC event — a corporate-sponsored cage fight aimed at shoring up support with young men, even as that support shows signs of slipping. We also look at the return of algae in the newly repaired Reflecting Pool, and the new U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal over the Strait, where both sides are already trying to claim victory.
