    .@ABC News' @rachelvscott to Russian Pres. Putin: "The list of your political opponents who are dead, imprisoned or jailed is long...and you have now prevented anyone who supports [Alexey Navalny] to run for office. "So my question is, Mr. President: what are you so afraid of?"

    Just 75 years ago someone who looked like me didn’t have a credential into a White House built by slaves. The first black female White House reporter pawned her watch every week to eat. Grateful the next time I walk through the gates it will be as a White House corespondent ❤️

    I tried to ask @GOPLeader about the RNC’s resolution describing Jan. 6 as “legitimate political discourse” He told me to make an appointment with his office… insisting it’s “not good” to answer questions in hallways.

    Donald Trump stops at a barber shop in the Bronx — noticeable increase in security. A big tent covering the entrance of the barber shop — his car pulling into that tent & officials closing the drape before he exited the vehicle.

    New: I just spoke with the brother of fallen Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick by phone. Craig Sicknick tells me President Trump's pardons for January 6th rioters are a "betrayal of decency.” "We now have no rule of law,” he said & called President Trump "a poor excuse of a

    JUST IN: I’m told the NAACP will offer to cover bail costs for any Texas lawmakers who may face arrest. “War has been declared on democracy, and we will support anyone who stands up to defend it," President Johnson says. "We are fully invested in good trouble.”

    Speaker Pelosi tells me Biden can win She says she won’t make comments in the hallway about “the fate of our nation” When I asked if Biden should run she said “Am I speaking English to you? I’m not going to be making any statements about any of that right now in the hallway..”
