3:40pm- Anders Hagstrom of Fox News writes: “A fleet of Russian warships entered Cuban waters on Wednesday as they prepare to hold military drills in the Caribbean. The deployment is likely a warning to President Biden after he gave approval for Ukrainian forces to strike some targets within Russia using U.S. weaponry, according to Rebekah Koffler, strategic intelligence analyst and author of ‘Putin's Playbook.’ Russian President Vladimir Putin is telling Washington, ‘we can touch you,’ Koffler said.” You can read the full article here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/putin-fleet-warships-cuba-direct-warning-biden-experts-say

4:30pm- Is The New York Times calling out President Joe Biden for lying? Linda Qiu writes: “In President Biden’s telling, he was a teenage civil rights activist, a former trucker, the first in his family to go to college and the nephew of a cannibalism victim. All of these claims stretch the truth or are downright false. But Mr. Biden persists in telling personal tales with rhetorical flourishes and factual liberty when he works a room or regales an audience.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/09/us/politics/biden-history-fact-check.html
