Here's where the real fun begins!
▪"Volodymyr Zelensky" suggested that George W. Bush talk to "his fans": Vovan and Lexus then reveal their faces, posing as Ukrainian heroes and pilots who shot down many Russian planes.
▪The pranksters quoted "Brother 2", a classic Russian movie, asking Bush where real power lies: in truth or in money?
▪After Bush compared Zelensky to Winston Churchill, Vovan and Lexus responded by saying "he's like Monica Lewinsky", which caused Bush to burst into laughter
▪At the end of the conversation, one of the pranksters shouted "Slava Rossii" ("Glory to Russia")

🍼 Baby formula factory could reopen by next week
FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf told lawmakers Thursday that a shuttered baby formula factory could be up and running as soon as next week, though he sidestepped questions about whether his agency should have intervened earlier to address problems at the plant that have triggered the national shortage.
The problems are largely tied to Abbott Nutrition’s Michigan formula plant, the largest in the US, which has been closed since February due to contamination problems.
After production resumes, Abbott has said it could take about two months until new formula begins arriving in stores. On Wednesday evening, House Democrats passed a $28 million spending bill that would boost FDA funding to inspect domestic and international formula producers.

📉 Biden’s approval dips to lowest of presidency
President Joe Biden’s approval rating dipped to the lowest point of his presidency in May, a new poll shows, with deepening pessimism emerging among members of his own Democratic Party.
Only 39% of US adults approve of Biden’s performance as president, according to the poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research, dipping from already negative ratings a month earlier.
The new poll shows just 21% of Americans say they have “a great deal of confidence” in Biden’s ability to handle the situation in Ukraine; 39% say they have some confidence and 39% say they have hardly any.

🇵🇷 US lawmakers urge binding vote on Puerto Rico status
A group of mostly Democratic members of Congress, including the House majority leader, on Thursday proposed a binding plebiscite to decide whether Puerto Rico should become a state or gain some sort of independence. The draft proposal unveiled at an online news conference would commit Congress to accepting Puerto Rico into the United States if voters on the island approve it.
As a US territory, Puerto Ricans have US citizenship but are not allowed to vote in general elections; they have a congressional representative with limited voting powers, and they receive less money from certain federal programs than do people in US states.
The proposal comes at a time when Puerto Rico is trying to emerge from a lengthy bankruptcy and recover from the devastation left by Hurricane Maria in 2017.

⛔️ Migrants cross border amid legal uncertainty on asylum rule
Migrants crossing in Eagle Pass, Texas, knew little or nothing about the rule under which migrants have been expelled more than 1.9 million times since March 2020. They were largely from Cuba, Colombia, Nicaragua and Venezuela — nationalities that have mostly been spared from the asylum ban because high costs, strained diplomatic relations or other considerations make it difficult for the US to fly them home.
Title 42 has largely affected people from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, many of whom have been waiting in Mexican border towns after being denied the right to seek asylum by the US government. Mexico has agreed to accept migrants from those three Central American countries turned back by the US and last month also started taking in limited numbers of Cubans and Nicaraguans who have been turned away by US authorities.
