• OUT: Matt Bomer is at peace with the cancellation of his gay-centered sitcom “Mid-Century Modern.”
• Washington Post: In his phone call with Donald Trump this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that Ukraine surrender full control of Donetsk, a strategically vital region in eastern Ukraine, as a condition for ending the war. As one diplomat said, “It’s like selling them their own leg in exchange for nothing.”
• X: Donald Trump’s response to nearly 7 million Americans taking part in the No Kings protests yesterday was to post this AI video in which he’s seen donning a king’s crown and dropping feces on demonstrators from a fighter jet.
