Musk defends his work as he prepares to wind down at DOGE but gives hazy answers on future
SUMMARY: Elon Musk, preparing to step back from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), spoke to reporters at the White House, humorously requesting a joke before answering questions. Musk reflected on the challenges and controversies of his work, which has involved significant workforce downsizing and clashes over government data access and spending cuts. Despite receiving intense backlash and facing lawsuits, Musk defended DOGE’s actions, such as fraud prevention efforts, while acknowledging areas where progress has been slower. He confirmed plans to reduce his involvement with DOGE, spending just one or two days a week on the project moving forward.

Iran’s supreme leader makes first public appearance since Iran-Israel war started
SUMMARY: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first public appearance since the 12-day war with Israel began, attending a mourning ceremony in Tehran. During the conflict, Khamenei stayed in a bunker amid heightened threats. The war involved Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iranian missile retaliation, causing over 900 Iranian deaths and significant nuclear facility damage. Iran has since suspended cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog. The ceremony commemorated the martyrdom of Hussein, a pivotal figure in Shiite Islam, reflecting deep religious and political significance in Iran’s identity and current tensions.

Which strength training method is best for you? Experts break down the options
SUMMARY: Weight-resistance exercise can be done using four main options: free weights (dumbbells, barbells), weight machines, resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises like pushups and pullups. Free weights offer versatility and functional strength benefits, engaging balance and multiple muscles, recommended for relatively healthy individuals. Machines are beginner-friendly, stable, and reduce injury risk, making them good starting points. Resistance bands are portable, affordable, and useful for average adults but less effective for heavy athletes. Bodyweight exercises require minimal equipment and effectively build strength. Experts advise medical checks before starting, trainer guidance, varying exercises, and training two to three times weekly for best results.
