Full Summary

A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000. Published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, it tracked mostly older men after shots in late 2024, showing benefits for high-risk groups but drawing skeptic fire over tiny absolute gains, healthy vaccinee bias, and observational limits. Lead author Ziyad Al-Aly stressed skipping shots leaves heart protection untapped, while critics like Alex Berenson dismissed the relative risk figures as misleading.

Key Takeaway

For older veterans, getting the updated COVID shot alongside their flu vaccine meant fewer heart attacks and strokes tied to infections. The findings highlight real protection, especially for those over 75.

DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

The satirical meme, which quickly gained over 8,000 likes and thousands of reposts, pokes fun at a real 2025 controversy over Biden's heavy use of the autopen device for signing executive orders, pardons, and more. A House Oversight Committee report found 88% of 1,597 analyzed documents had identical autopen signatures, with Republicans like James Comer alleging aides authorized them without Biden's direct approval. Trump pushed for a DOJ probe that was later dropped, while Biden insisted he approved every decision; the joke taps into ongoing partisan divides over his presidency.

Key Takeaway

Hab al-Reeh expressed Palestine's strong condemnation of the Iranian drone and missile barrages targeting Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman since late February. These attacks, which make up 85% of Iran's strikes compared to those on Israel, stem from retaliation against U.S. and Israeli operations including hits on Iran's Natanz nuclear site. The Palestinian Authority, governing parts of the West Bank and rivals to Iran-backed Hamas, pledged solidarity with Saudi Arabia's defenses and has previously rejected such violations of Arab sovereignty. This stance highlights the Authority's alignment with Sunni-led Gulf powers amid widening regional fractures.
