Europe stands in full solidarity with Poland.

[A]

That's European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calling what happened reckless and unprecedented.

[C]

Overnight, Russia launched another massive attack against Ukraine, but this time sent 19 drones into Poland. The incident triggered a NATO response with fighter jets scrambling from Western Europe to assist. Polish officials say at least four of the drones were shot down. Down as the country briefly closed its airspace and diverted flights from major airports.

[A]

Fox is Trey Youngston, Kyiv, Ukraine. Russia's not commenting, but its ally Belarus says the drones were jammed and then flew off course, declaring DC Crime free after his federal takeover of Washington police. That ends today. President Trump went out to dinner. Fox's Alexandra Hoff said the White House.

[B]

The message last night, it's so safe a president can do it. And the president made clear that he is interested in dining out in another city soon.

[D]

We're going to be announcing another city that we're going to very shortly. We're working it out. The governor of a certain state would love us to be there.

[A]

And though the president's D.C. police takeover order is expiring, National Guard troops will remain on patrol through November. In Virginia, a Democrat won a special election, winning a vacant House seat.

[E]

The reckless Trump agenda must come to an end.

[A]

James Walken shall be Republican Stuart Whitson and will replace late Congressman Jerry Connally, who died in May. A Federal Reserve governor President Trump fired last month can still do her job. Attend a key Fed meeting next week after a federal judge last night blocked Lisa Cook's dismissal over allegations of mortgage fraud.

[F]

She denies federal law gives presidents the power to fire Fed governors for cause. U.S. district Court Judge Gia Cobb in D.C. says unsubstantiated claims of misconduct prior to her tenure are not enough.

[A]

The man charged with murdering a Ukrainian refugee, Irina Zyrutska, last month in Charlotte, North Carolina, stabbing her to death on a train, is now also charged with a federal crime. Attorney General Pam Bondi tells Fox he'll.

[B]

Be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

[A]

Fox's Matt Finn reports the federal charge could lead to the death penalty.

[E]

The alleged killer, Decarlos Brown, was previously arrested at least 14 times and has an extensive violent criminal history. The U.S. attorney in the district where the killing happened announced a federal homicide case was opened because the killing happened on public transit. And the killing of Zarudska is being investigated as a possible civil rights violation if facts show it was racially motivated. President Trump blamed Democratic policies for Zaruska's death and promised his administration is going to fix it.

[A]

Well, it's back to court this hour for Ryan Routh, the suspect in the second Trump assassination attempt last year, who's defending himself at trial and questioning prospective jurors in a selection process. The judge, Cannon, wants to wrap up today.

[B]

Yesterday, a couple potential jurors were dismissed, including a woman that said she was only follows God's law. And another who told the judge, quote, I am maga. This is our president. I know about the case. It would be really hard for me to see him as innocent. Referring to Ruth, however, Cannon refused to cut a potential juror who claimed that he knows Trump personally after having breakfast with the president and first lady Melania 25 years ago when he was considered for a job at a golf course. Now, while the jury pool was still present, Ruth made the mistake of complaining about his jail cell. He coughed and said, I'm getting sick. That's what happens when you don't get sleep.
