SUMMARY: President Trump is urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, setting a tentative 10 to 12-day deadline for progress, though Putin remains unyielding.

This Florida city is the ‘itchiest’ in the nation, study finds
SUMMARY: Ivarest conducted a study identifying the “itchiest” U.S. cities based on five factors: seasonal allergies, number of pest control businesses on Yelp, online searches for bug spray and poison ivy remedies, and state-level poison ivy prevalence. Researchers surveyed 1,000 Americans about outdoor skin irritants to rank cities. Sarasota, Florida, topped the list, leading in pest control listings and high bug spray search interest. Poughkeepsie, New York, ranked second, followed by Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; and Greenville, South Carolina. Several Florida cities also ranked high for pest control or bug spray searches, including Orlando, Miami, Tampa, and others.

What to know about the trial of a Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife
SUMMARY: James Craig, a Colorado dentist, is on trial for allegedly poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, who died in 2023 from cyanide and tetrahydrozoline poisoning. Prosecutors presented family testimony and evidence that James put poison in her protein shakes and administered cyanide at the hospital. James did not testify, but his notes claimed Angela asked him to help her die due to marital struggles linked to his affairs. Angela was a devoted mother and church member, with relatives describing her as positive but heartbroken. The defense suggests Angela may have committed suicide, citing her journal expressing marital pain but no suicidal intent. The case is closing with jury deliberation pending.
