  • Critics, including California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu, highlighted that winning Uno requires a player to get rid of all their cards, not accumulate them.
  • The image, posted on Truth Social and the White House's official X account, was reportedly intended to signal Trump's perceived leverage in the ongoing Iran war.
  • Separately, Trump announced “Project Freedom,” an initiative to guide stranded commercial ships from the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, involving guided-missile destroyers and thousands of service members.
