    Pattern emerging in West's response to Russia — US deferring to Europe in letting other nations and the EC be first to announce sanctions, halting Nord Stream 2, etc. West is remarkably unified and you can really see the WH hand in ally management.

    PSAKI: "The reason why the price of gas is going up is not because of steps the President has taken, they are because President Putin is invading Ukraine, and that is creating great deal instability in the global marketplace."

    This result doesn’t just validate Newsom; it invalidates California’s entire recall process and underlines the need for reform.

    Gaetz was on Air Force One with Trump roughly an hour ago.

    BIDEN: “The bottom line is the deficit went up every year under my predecessor before the pandemic and during the pandemic and it’s gone down both years since I’ve been here. Period.”

    .@PressSec says "the fact that Fox News and not the Department of Homeland Security or the city" was notified in advance of R governors shipping migrants to DC, Martha's Vineyard "makes clear this is just a cruel premeditated political stunt."

    So far, Putin’s war, borne of his own insecurity and nihilism, has: • unified the West • unified Ukraine • drawn condemnation of even Orban (!) • exposed the weakness of his own army • cratered Russia’s crap economy • made Zelensky into a legend

    Trump's listlessness tonight and his early exit after several questions about Kamala Harris probably tells you more than any of the attack lines he tested out.

    Just got this text from GOP natsec official: "Had to apologize to a European defense attaché just now. 'I'm sorry. He's an idiot.'"

    I continue to be amazed, even four years into this, at not just Trump's pathological narcissism but the way those around him (doctors, staffers) continually indulge it, even when it means putting others and himself at greater risk.

    Listen to the Fox host affirming his every sentence with “yeah” and “yep” and “right.” Pete is a damn killer.

    It's too bad Trump is afraid to debate next week.

    From Shapiro to Harris to Walz, cable nets just carried three campaign speeches backed by a thunderous crowd for about 80 minutes uninterrupted.

    It's official: the protesters were teargassed and cleared for Trump to walk to St. John's for a photo op.

    Travel pool was told Trump’s hospital visit was closed to pool because this is “about victims...not a photo op.” But it took the WH just a couple hours to release its own video highlights and photos.
