By Jamie Ross and Hannah Jewell  Email Listen to this briefing Good morning. It’s Friday, July 12, and the Rolling Stones have dropped the famous Kennedys line from “Sympathy for the Devil.” Our colleague tried to find out why. Now let’s get to the news. President Biden stumbled a few times at a news conference yesterday. The key takeaways: It was a mixed performance. Biden showed his command of the details at the NATO summit — we fact-checked his claims here — but also mixed up some big names. The aftermath: At least three more Democratic lawmakers called for Biden to end his reelection bid — we’re tracking them here. Today, Biden is headed to the must-win state of Michigan.

Why? The Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity means some evidence in the New York trial — including Trump’s tweets — should not have been allowed, his lawyers said. The bigger picture: The court ruled last week that presidents have immunity for official acts but not private conduct. This could impact all four of Trump’s criminal cases.

Outages could cause more casualties as heat indexes surge into the triple digits. Zooming out: Beryl tore a 6,000-mile path of destruction from Africa to Vermont. See it here. Other weather news: A La Niña climate pattern is imminent. It may have a cooling effect on the planet, and could trigger intense Atlantic hurricanesthis fall.

The mission has been plagued by setbacks, including poor weather and rough seas. Its impact: Since May, the operation has delivered 20 million pounds of food to Gaza — a fraction of what experts say is needed for Palestinians facing famine due to Israel’s war.

Duvall, pictured in 1977, starred in films such as “Nashville,” “3 Women” and “Popeye.” (Jean-Jacques Levy/AP) How we’ll remember her: As the waifish, wide-eyed actor who charmed audiences in acclaimed 1970s films and delivered an unforgettable performance in “The Shining.” What we know: Duvall died at her home in Blanco, Tex. The cause was complications from diabetes, a friend said. Read this story            ADVERTISEMENT     A teen sprinter claims Gatorade cost him a spot at the Olympics. How? Issam Asinga, a Surinamese teenager and the fastest-ever high school sprinter, says Gatorade gave him a gift basket with gummies that contained a banned substance. The fallout: A positive doping test led to Asinga’s four-year ban in May, and he was stripped of his under-20 world record in the 100 meters. He sued Gatorade this week.

What you’re looking at: Hundreds of long-finned pilot whales keeping British rower Tom Waddington company last weekend. The whales blew bubbles and rocked his boat. Why are they doing this? They might just be playing, like other whales who have approached boats recently — sometimes too forcefully. Waddington called it “a special treat.” Read this story            Before you go … reading The 7 on your phone? Check here to make sure you’re not holding your device in a way that will cause hand, eye or brain problems.
