Trump conducted a 75-minute call with Putin, relaying that the Russian leader plans retaliation for Ukraine's drone strikes on air bases. The conversation covered Iran but would not produce "immediate peace."

Former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent while promoting her memoir about the "broken" Biden administration.

Meanwhile, former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced she is leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent while promoting her memoir about the "broken" Biden administration (NY Post, The Hill).
