Chelsea Football Club – one of the largest soccer teams in the world with a fanbase of around 135 million people – may allow the OnlyFans-style porn website ‘My.Club’ to become the official sponsor of the team, even emblazoning the brand on the club’s t-shirt, in a £25 million ($31 million) per year deal.
The situation – which would see millions of young fans exposed to porn adverts emblazoned across the chests of their favorite players – emerged as a result of the club’s ongoing crisis precipitated by the British government’s intervention in the team, with Putin-linked former owner Roman Abramovic being forced out at the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The club has since played under a special government licence, though it could not sell merchandise, was subject to a transfer ban, and could not initially offer players new contracts. The club reported losses of £145.6 million as a result, which left it in the hands of a large corporate takeover led by the American businessman, Todd Boehly, backed by board member and government lackey Lord Daniel Finkelstein.
The story became stranger after the club signed Ukrainian player Mykhailo Mudryk from Ukrainian-based Shakhtar Donetsk for the wildly overpriced free of around $108 million. The Ukrainian club then used $25 million of the fee to fund the war in Ukraine. Chelsea went on to have one of their worst seasons ever in the 2022/23 season, finishing in 12th. Now, they may have to resort to pornographic sponsors.

📍 Where & When: The protests and violence began on June 9 in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and continued on June 10.
💬 Key Quote: “It’s absolutely vital that the PSNI are given the time they need to investigate the incidents concerned rather than face mindless attacks as they seek to bring peace and order to keep people safe.” — Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
⚠️ Impact: Tensions between migrants and locals are increasing throughout the United Kingdom and European Union (EU), as the former account for a disproportionate share of sexual and violent crime.
IN FULL:
A total of 17 police were injured after protestors attacked officers while demonstrating against mass migration following the attmepted rape of a local girl, allegedly by two migrant teenagers. Locals in Ballymena, a town in Northern Ireland—which is part of the United Kingdom—have been protesting and rioting for days, with some targeting police and the homes of migrants in the town.
Overall, 32 people have been arrested in connection with he violence, five of them on the evening of June 10. The protests began on Monday, June 9, following the arrest of the two 14-year-old Romanian-speaking migrants, and were organized just hours before they appeared in court.

Riot officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) were deployed to the town and were attacked with bricks, rocks, petrol bombs, and fireworks. In response, the PSNI deployed water cannons on the protestors. Several cars were also set ablaze, and windows of homes, allegedly belonging to migrants, were vandalized. So far, only one man, aged 29, has been charged with rioting, attempted criminal damage, and disorderly behaviour.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the violence, saying, “It’s absolutely vital that the PSNI are given the time they need to investigate the incidents concerned rather than face mindless attacks as they seek to bring peace and order to keep people safe.”
UFC star Conor McGregor, campaigning for the presidency of the independent Republic of Ireland on an anti-migrant crime platform, expressed solidarity with the protestors in Northern Ireland, reposting an X (formerly Twitter) post saying, “Catholics and Protestants stand united in Ballymena tonight and have burned down the houses of migrants who raped a young Irish girl. You touch our kids, our gloves are off.”
The Republic of Ireland has also seen increasing anti-mass migration sentiment, with migrant hotels set on fire.
The anti-mass migration protests in Northern Ireland are just the latest in Europe and come after similar protests and riots in mainland Great Britain last year, after a migration-background teenager, Axel Rudakubana, stabbed three children to death in Southport, England, and wounded several others.

📍 Where & When: Trade negotiations occurred in London on June 8-9, 2025, with President Trump announcing the deal on June 10, 2025.
💬 Key Quote: President Trump posted on Truth Social, “Deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me. Relationship is excellent!”
⚠️ Impact: The agreement aims to ease trade tensions, facilitate rare earth exports, and prevent a potential economic slowdown caused by supply chain disruptions.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump announced on Wednesday that a “framework deal” has been reached between the United States and China after two days of intensive trade talks in London, England. The agreement, which seeks to ease tensions in the ongoing trade war between the two nations, still requires formal approval by both Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The negotiations concluded late Tuesday night, with both sides confirming progress. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described the talks as an effort to “get the negativity out” of the bilateral relationship, adding that the focus is now on fostering “positive trade, growing trade.”
Under the proposed framework, China will maintain a 10 percent tariff on U.S. goods, while the U.S. retains a 55 percent tariff on Chinese imports. The deal also includes commitments for China to resume and increase exports of rare earth minerals critical to U.S. industries. In exchange, the U.S. will provide aerospace parts and semiconductor programming technology to China, along with renewed access for Chinese students to American universities.
President Trump took to Truth Social to declare, “OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI AND ME. FULL MAGNETS, AND ANY NECESSARY RARE EARTHS, WILL BE SUPPLIED, UP FRONT, BY CHINA.”
The talks in London follow a preliminary agreement reached in Geneva, Switzerland, in May, which temporarily paused record-high tariffs of well over 100 percent on imports from both nations. The current tariffs, reduced to 30 percent for U.S. imports from China and 10 percent for Chinese imports from the U.S., could spike again if the framework is not finalized before July 9.
China’s state-run media has acknowledged “new progress” in the talks but offered no specifics. Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang confirmed the framework was agreed upon “in principle.”

📍 Where & When: Musk made the admission in an early morning post on X (formerly Twitter) on June 11, 2025.
💬 Key Quote: “I regret some of my posts about President [Donald Trump] last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote.
⚠️ Impact: The move by Musk appears to be an attempt to smooth over relations with the Trump White House, with the billionaire technology mogul potentially facing increasing scrutiny over his substantial federal contracts and from shareholders in Tesla.
IN FULL:
Elon Musk says he now regrets “some of” the attacks he posted against President Donald J. Trump last week, when the billionaire technology mogul had a very public falling out with the America First leader. A former special government employee and advisor to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk became increasingly critical of provisions contained in President Trump’s budget reconciliation legislation—dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—which enacts much of Trump’s political agenda. The mostly online spat saw Musk go from criticizing the legislation to making a series of erratic and bizarre personal attacks against the president.
“I regret some of my posts about President [Donald Trump] last week,” Musk wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “They went too far.”
During what is being described as a social media “crash out,” Musk endorsed a post calling for President Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vice President J.D. Vance, and suggested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has withheld some of the Epstein Files from public release because Trump’s name is found within them. Notably, The National Pulse reported in February that the already publicly released portion of the files, comprised of Epstein’s flight and phone call logs, includes Trump’s name, which Epstein listed in his phone book, but nothing nefarious.
While President Trump has not responded to Musk’s most recent comments directly, the America First leader in a recent interview stated that he has “no hard feelings” towards the former DOGE advisor. “Well, look, I have no hard feelings. I was really surprised that that happened,” Trump said, adding: “He went after a bill that’s phenomenal… and when he did that, I was not a happy camper.”
I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.

📍 Where & When: The review of X’s status was confirmed in June 2025.
💬 Key Quote: “X has indicated since 2024 that it accepts the distribution of pornographic content. It must therefore be treated as such.” — Office of the French Digital Minister.
⚠️ Impact: If classified as a pornography platform, X will be required to verify user age in France or possibly be blocked in the country for not complying.
IN FULL:
A European country is considering making moves to require Elon Musk‘s X, formerly Twitter, to require verifying the age of its users due to the presence of pornography on the platform. French Digital Minister Clara Chappaz’s office stated this week that it is considering labelling X a pornography platform, which could ban minors from accessing it.
“X has indicated since 2024 that it accepts the distribution of pornographic content. It must therefore be treated as such,” the minister’s office said on June 9. The minister’s office is reportedly currently reviewing whether or not X meets the requirements in French law that demand pornography websites verify user ages.
Minister Chappaz herself appeared on French television last week, stating that X would be receiving the same instructions as the website YouPorn, demanding that X ban pornographic content or comply with age verification requirements.
Porn websites are trying to resist the new measures, which had to be in place as of June 7, with those refusing to comply being either geoblocked in France entirely or having their results scrubbed from major search engines. Other countries have also expressed concerns over pornography on X, including Belgium and Tanzania, which blocked X last week.
Similar measure have been taken against porn websites in the United States by individual state governments. As a result, sites such as Pornhub have removed themselves from states like Texas in recent months in protest over age verification requirements.
Sweden, another European Union (EU) country, has also recently enacted anti-pornography laws that essentially ban websites like OnlyFans. The Swedish law makes it illegal for anyone to purchase sexual material from another person remotely, banning webcam pornography platforms and others where users directly pay for sexual acts.

📍 Where & When: U.S. Congress; announcement made Monday, timing of departure tied to legislative schedule.
💬 Key Quote: “It was the honor of a lifetime to represent the people of Tennessee in Congress,” Green stated.
⚠️ Impact: Green’s delayed retirement ensures Republican support for the Trump-backed tax legislation in the House, where the GOP holds a slim majority.
IN FULL:
Congressman Mark Green (R-TN), who chairs the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, announced late Monday that he plans to retire from Congress after a final vote on President Donald J. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The Tennessee Republican revealed that he accepted a private sector opportunity, describing it as “too exciting to pass up.” He informed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of his decision earlier in the day.
His announcement follows a previous decision in 2022 not to seek re-election in 2024. However, Green reversed course after Republican colleagues urged him to remain in office. His next election would have been in 2026.
The timing of Green’s departure is significant, as Republicans maintain a narrow 220-212 majority in the House. His presence ensures an additional GOP vote for the budget reconciliation bill, which narrowly passed the House by a single vote in May and enacts a bulk of President Trump’s policy agenda. The legislation, now under consideration in the Senate, will return to the House for approval of any amendments before heading to President Trump’s desk.
“It was the honor of a lifetime to represent the people of Tennessee in Congress,” Green said in a statement, adding: “They asked me to deliver on the conservative values and principles we all hold dear, and I did my level best to do so.”
Green’s seat will be filled through a special election, the timing of which will depend on his departure date.

📍 Where & When: Secretary of State Nelson announced the referrals on June 5.
💬 Key Quote: “Texas continues to monitor voter rolls. Whenever we find noncitizen voters we refer them for criminal investigation. To be clear, only legal citizens can vote.” — Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott.
⚠️ Impact: The referrals come thanks to President Donald J. Trump’s administration giving Texas access to a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) database, which former President Joe Biden refused.
IN FULL:
Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson has said that at least 33 noncitizens voted in last year’s presidential election, and they have been referred to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office. Should the noncitizens be found to have voted illegally, they could face serious penalties, including prison for voter fraud.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott commented on the issue on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Texas continues to monitor voter rolls. Whenever we find noncitizen voters we refer them for criminal investigation. To be clear, only legal citizens can vote.”
The move comes after Texas officials were granted the ability to look at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service’s (USCIS) Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Database. Secretary Nelson labelled access to SAVE, “a game-changer.”
States were granted access by President Donald J. Trump earlier this year through an executive order after former President Joe Biden had refused to let them access it last year. Governor Abbott has also worked to strengthen election integrity in Texas by signing a bill last month that will allow Texans to add citizenship requirements for voting to the Texas constitution.
Last year, Texas dropped over a million ineligible voters from its voter rolls, thousands of whom were illegal aliens, alongside hundreds of thousands of dead people.

📍 Where & When: United States; budget request released last Friday for FY 2026.
💬 Key Quote: “The United States remains the sickest developed nation despite spending $4.5 trillion annually on health care.” — HHS press secretary Emily Hilliard.
⚠️ Impact: The CDC’s budget would be cut nearly in half, with significant reductions to chronic disease, global health, and HIV/AIDS programs, and the NIH faces a 40 percent funding cut.
IN FULL:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has unveiled its fiscal year 2026 budget, proposing a major consolidation of its divisions and introducing a new public health agency, the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA). This reorganization would reduce HHS’s 28 divisions to 15, with the AHA receiving a $20.6 billion budget to support Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.
The AHA aims to address the root causes of chronic diseases, shifting focus from individual programs to broader prevention strategies. This restructuring would eliminate the CDC’s Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, which received $1.4 billion in FY 2024. Instead, the AHA would oversee primary care, environmental health, mental health, and nutrition initiatives. Nearly $1 billion of the CDC’s funding would be redirected to the new agency.
The CDC’s overall budget would drop from $9.2 billion in fiscal year 2024 to $4.2 billion. The budget also proposes a 40 percent cut to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the dissolution of agencies like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. HIV/AIDS prevention and research programs would be consolidated under the AHA, with funding reduced by nearly $1 billion compared to 2024 allocations.
Global health programs are also affected, with the CDC’s Global Health Center eliminated. Its $711 million FY 2024 budget would be replaced with $239 million for global health protection under a new budget line.
HHS press secretary Emily Hilliard said of the budget proposal, “The United States remains the sickest developed nation despite spending $4.5 trillion annually on health care.”
Congressional subcommittees will review the budget before the House and Senate craft their own resolutions later this year.

📍 Where & When: Los Angeles, California; ongoing tensions following violent protests.
💬 Key Quote: “In our minds, you’ve violated that sort of social contract with the United States at that point,” said Crenshaw, regarding foreigners, including legal residents, participating in riots.
⚠️ Impact: The legislation would allow for the deportation of non-citizens involved in violent riots during declared emergencies, permanently barring them from the U.S.
IN FULL:
House Republicans, led by Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), are advancing a new legislative proposal aimed at deporting non-citizens who engage in violent anti-law enforcement riots. The bill, if enacted, would apply to individuals convicted of assault, battery, or similar acts against law enforcement during periods of declared emergencies, permanently barring them from re-entering the United States.
Crenshaw explained, “When you go to prison, you’re losing your liberty… in the case of people here legally but committing acts of violence during a national emergency… that should have an effect and be on the list of things that allows for revocation of your status.”
The proposed legislation would encompass legal permanent residents, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) beneficiaries. It would be activated during emergency declarations made by federal, state, or local leaders.
This initiative comes amid escalating unrest in Los Angeles, where protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations turned violent. Demonstrators reportedly set American flags and vehicles ablaze, prompting police to use rubber bullets and pepper spray to disperse crowds.
In response to the turmoil, President Donald J. Trump deployed the National Guard and ordered 700 U.S. Marines to the region, despite opposition from California Governor Gavin Newsom. The Marines are currently training in Seal Beach for further deployment, according to a U.S. defense official.
Crenshaw emphasized that his legislation would provide the federal government with more tools to address such situations. “It would give the administration the option to say… half of them are U.S. citizens, OK, you’re going to jail for rioting. Maybe another quarter are illegals, well, that’s easy, you can deport them. But what about the other quarter? That might be… legal aliens here rioting against America for enforcing our immigration laws.”
The White House has expressed interest in the bill, though officials have declined to comment directly. Currently, legal U.S. residents can lose their status if convicted of crimes such as murder or drug trafficking. Crenshaw’s proposal would add violent rioting during emergencies to that list.

💬 Key Quote: Foreign Secretary Lammy stated, “These actions are not acceptable. This is why we have taken action now—to hold those responsible to account.”
⚠️ Impact: Travel bans and asset freezes for the ministers; Israel criticized the British decision as “outrageous,” and the Trump administration in the U.S. was also critical.
IN FULL:
Britain’s far-left government has announced sanctions against two Israeli government ministers, citing their remarks related to the Gaza conflict. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir will face travel restrictions barring entry into the United Kingdom, alongside asset freezes.
The measures, revealed by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, were justified on the grounds that the two officials had allegedly “incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights.”
“These actions are not acceptable. This is why we have taken action now—to hold those responsible to account,” Lammy said.
The two ministers each lead right-wing parties vital for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in power. They have called for Palestinians to be resettled outside of Gaza, and are accused of “inciting” violence in the West Bank.
In response, Israeli officials condemned the sanctions. A statement from Israel described the move as “outrageous,” arguing that elected representatives and government members should not be subjected to such measures.
In the U.S., Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also critical, saying, “These sanctions do not advance U.S.-led efforts to achieve a ceasefire, bring all hostages home, and end the war.”
The sanctions come as the United Kingdom and other Western nations increase pressure on Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Lammy reiterated the British government’s broader goals, including achieving a ceasefire, securing the release of hostages held by Hamas, and advancing humanitarian aid. He also reaffirmed the British government’s commitment to pursuing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The move comes after Labour Party Members of Parliament (MPs) were kicked out of Israel in April. Two politicians, known for their anti-Israel views, were denied entry into the Jewish state, leading to a condemnation of Israel’s actions by Foreign Secretary Lammy.

⚠️ Impact: ABC News is attempting to demonstrate a commitment to objectivity under the Trump administration, having cultivated a reputation for strong liberal bias.
IN FULL:
ABC News has announced it will not renew the contract of senior national correspondent Terry Moran following a social media post that violated the network’s standards. Moran, who has been with ABC News for 28 years, made a now-deleted comment on X (formerly Twitter) referring to President Donald J. Trump and Deputy White House Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller as “world-class haters.”
The network confirmed the decision on Tuesday, stating, “We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran, and based on his recent post—which was a clear violation of ABC News policies—we have made the decision to not renew.” A spokesman claimed, “At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.”
Moran’s contract was set to expire on Friday, according to an anonymous source familiar with the matter. The journalist, who has held various roles during his tenure, recently interviewed with President Trump in the Oval Office.
The controversy erupted Sunday night when Moran posted a late-night message describing Miller as “a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.” Although the post was quickly deleted, screenshots circulated widely online, prompting backlash from Trump allies. Vice President J.D. Vance labeled the remarks “an absolutely vile smear.”
Moran was suspended by ABC News shortly after the post, and the network’s decision to sever ties followed days later. He has not yet commented publicly on the matter.
