In political developments, Christine Baranski joined elected officials in Wilkes-Barre to express concerns about a second Trump presidency, warning that it would embolden Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. She stated that Kamala Harris would counter Putin and defend NATO allies. Separately, @KamalaHarris questioned how quickly President Trump would "give up for the sake of favor" with a "dictator," in remarks directed at Polish Americans in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Senator Tom Cotton announced on X his intent to work with the U.S. Department of Education to protect American schools from an organization he described as promoting "radical, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist, anti-Israel ideology." In personal news, Barron Trump has reportedly relocated to the White House, according to the New York Post, as he begins his sophomore year at NYU. The White House also posted "AURA 🔥" on X. Previous reports from earlier in the day indicated President Trump dined in downtown Washington D.C. around 3:10 PM UTC, coinciding with White House announcements regarding city safety and the repeal of a gun law. A statement from "DOWResponse" on X refuted claims that a struck boat was "artificial intelligence," asserting the incident was witnessed live and the occupants were known. NATO also confirmed that allied fighter jets shot down Russian drones over Poland between 2:47 PM and 3:01 PM UTC, with no U.S. military involvement.
