"My mother, this is the fifth time she has been arrested in China." Outside the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., demonstrators called for the release of roughly 17 Falun Gong practitioners detained in China since April 15. Among them is Wang Youmei, mother of U.S. citizen Alisa Zhou. After serving 15 days of administrative detention in Wuhan, Wang was placed under criminal detention. Her family says they have no information about where she is being held. Also at the rally was 69-year-old Tong Shuzhen, who traveled from New York to appeal for her sister, Tong Shuying, who was previously tortured and has now been arrested again. #HumanRights #China #FalunGong

The Man in the Arena

🎙️ LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. IT'S TIME... to Take Back Your Health.

"Once in a lifetime." Excitement is building in the nation's capital as the White House gears up to host a UFC fight on the South Lawn. "It's gonna be groundbreaking. There ain't never gonna be a fight as good as this one." "As someone that just loves the sport so much, to see it on such a huge scale like this... I'm so excited to watch this fight." "It's for the warriors out here, the all-American heroes, and Americans overall." Which fight are you most excited to see? #UFCFreedom250

1/3 Why does America keep getting China wrong? It’s not naivety. It’s not ignorance. It's a failure of language. Washington and other Western institutions describe China as AUTHORITARIAN rather than TOTALITARIAN. Authoritarian regimes can democratize. South Korea did. Taiwan did. The Philippines did. Totalitarian ones don't. This shift in language may be one of the most consequential propaganda victories the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ever pulled off.

Now that President Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is officially complete, visitors have been stopping by to take in the newly restored, glimmering waters. "I think it's gorgeous. It's cleaned up. It looks fantastic." "He's draining the swamp, figuratively and symbolically." "Lincoln looking over that pond right now, I'm sure he's smiling up in heaven above, saying: job well done."

Nearly a week after California’s primary races, election workers are still counting mail-in ballots as they continue to arrive. I spoke with everyday Americans about whether votes should still be counted after Election Day: "I don't feel good about it at all. If you want a fair, honest election, it's an election day, not an election month." "Just like in the 2020 election, in some of the north eastern states, no votes for the Republicans coming in late, only votes for the Democrats coming in late."

“I think it's a positive reflection of what America holds, overall, for the past 250 years.” I heard from everyday Americans about their thoughts on the newly painted Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. “[President Trump] is taking the time to put the renovations back into our capital city. We haven't been back in many, many years, but we came back now because of what President Trump has done.”

A rare moment of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill as lawmakers come together to commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Meanwhile, in other China-related news, @RepScottPerry has introduced two bills aimed at tightening oversight of the U.S. surrogacy industry, which has been exploited by foreign actors, including those linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

For 37 years, over 2,000 images taken by a Chinese state media photographer were hidden in a metal box, surviving brutal purges—until now. These raw, powerful photos show the courage of the students, the scale of the protests, and the horror of what the Chinese Communist Party did. Now, The @EpochTimes is making the photos public for the first time. [1/2]

Do Americans believe government agencies are used to target individuals for political reasons? I spoke with everyday people in D.C.: "See President Trump, see all of his lawyers who've been disbarred for doing their duty as sworn lawyers, the New York trial, all of the J6 defendants... There's a pretty endless list." "I saw that a lot when Trump was running... Felony charges, they tried to do everything in their power for him not to run."

New look of UFC arena from the Rose Garden. Bleachers are up.

My family escaped Communism to come to the U.S. Today in the Oval Office, I asked President Trump why he's warning Americans about Communism in a new statement. His response was powerful: “You're going to get free rent, you're going to get free houses, you're going to get free food, you're going to get free everything, but eventually that ends, and it leads to death, destruction, and squalor 100% of the time.” On Mayor Mamdani in NYC: “I don't understand why he thinks it's okay for all these companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes a year to leave, because you're not going to have any tax base.” “Free enterprise is tougher to sell, but that's what's made our country great, and that's why it's great again now.”

The fountains in Lafayette Park outside the White House are running today:

Do you support giving every child an investment account at birth? 🇺🇸

"Why wouldn't anybody take the opportunity to start their children off in life with an investment account?" I spoke with everyday folks for their thoughts on the Trump Accounts: "Build a culture of savings and self-reliance and retirement, which I think is a good thing to teach our kids as soon as possible."

@TMTonightShow Great segment!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thousands lined the streets of downtown Washington DC for the annual National Memorial Day Parade. Despite the rain, people from across the country came out to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to America.
