Personnel and power moves set the tone in politics today. Donald Trump has tapped housing chief Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, a striking interim appointment that puts a loyal ally with little national security background atop the intelligence community as Tulsi Gabbard departs. Foreign policy pressures are mounting too: reports say Trump’s relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu has frayed badly over Israel’s actions in Lebanon, with fears the fighting could derail already fragile Iran talks. That broader strategy will be under the microscope when Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to Capitol Hill for his first public testimony since the Iran war began. Back at home, Trump says he will attend and speak at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner in July, months after a shooting disrupted the original event. In Britain, Keir Starmer is facing scrutiny after Downing Street confirmed he uses WhatsApp disappearing messages.
