President Donald Trump has returned to the stage of the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. He delivered a rambling speech that praised some journalists, took potshots at others, made jokes about public figures’ weight and intellect, and quipped about a third presidential term. He assured the crowd of journalists, though, that he’d scrapped the most biting parts of his remarks. His appearance came three months after a gunman upended the original dinner and forced its postponement.

Pope Leo XIV is praying for the United States to recommit itself to its founding ideals on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. History’s first U.S.-born pope recalled America’s tradition of welcoming migrants and promoting religious freedom during a live video appearance at the National Constitution Center, which provides a nonpartisan platform for constitutional education and debate. The Philadelphia-based center gave Leo its annual Liberty Medal, which is awarded each year to someone “of courage and conviction” who promotes liberty around the world. The center honored Leo this year for his “lifelong work promoting religious liberty and freedom of conscience and expression around the world — ideals enshrined by America’s founders in the First Amendment.”
