Russian President Vladimir Putin offered heartfelt condolences after the death of Pope Francis, calling him “a great man” and praising his efforts to build bridges with the Orthodox Church. Despite tensions over the Ukraine war and past criticisms—like the Pope warning Patriarch Kirill not to become “Putin’s altar boy”—Putin acknowledged Francis’ role in fostering dialogue and peace. The two leaders met three times and shared a complex relationship shaped by faith and geopolitics. The Russian Orthodox Church will send a high-ranking delegation to the funeral.

The White House announced it will control which news outlets get access to President Donald Trump, breaking from the century-old practice of independent press pool selection. Traditional media outlets, including the AP, face rotation or exclusion. This decision, alongside the AP’s lawsuit over press access, raises First Amendment concerns. Critics argue it undermines press freedom, while the White House frames it as modernization. A federal judge declined immediate intervention, but legal battles continue as Trump asserts his administration’s authority over media access.
