Can confirm White House is letting in a reporter from Russian state news agency TASS to cover the bilat between Trump and Zelenskiy. Reuters and AP were excluded.

My grandfather and the Greatest Generation didn’t fight in World War II to see our country side with murderous thugs like Putin. This is a disgrace.

Strong guys don't need sidekicks to do their fighting. This cross examination by Vance during POTUS meetings with his equivalents (Zelensky today, Starmer yesterday) is weird and weak.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Imagine if your country was invaded, tens of thousands of children were kidnapped, maternity wards bombed, tens of thousands killed, and you're expected to sit through lectures about you being the cause of the war and visits to Ukraine to see the truth called propaganda.

Excellent point, Piers.

We need more historians

Can we all remember President of Russia is the bad guy- they invaded - they kidnap kids - Whatever happens - Ukraine can not lose - eastern. Europe will be next

Selling a bill of good, while selling out the Bill of Rights.

.Senator Peter Welch appears to be asleep during President Donald J. Trump' address to a joint session of Congress.

Pour one out for the fact checkers.

I bet Elizabeth Warren did the long NYT crossword, got wordle in two tries, and nailed connections without being frustrated that it's entirely subjective.

We reported then, and we keep reporting, that NATO’s Article 5 has only ever ONCE been invoked: to protect and defend the United States of America after 9/11.

Closing down the most effective soft power instruments in history (USAID, VoA, Radio Free Europe) to save 0.1% of GDP is absolutely stupid. Autocracies spent billions to block free press, fearing people who dreamed of freedom & democracy. The U.S. just saved them a lot of money.

As the Trump administration works to dismantle VOA, RFE/RL and RFA, I'm thinking about our 10 journalists who are imprisoned around the world for doing their jobs. Journalism is not a crime. Here’s a thread on their cases.

Radio Free Europe streamed unflinching coverage of Russia’s war in Ukraine to Russians when the Kremlin banned its citizens from calling it a war. (1/4)

In a previous life, Ben Rhodes asked me to coordinate this piece with Jeffrey Goldberg. We emailed and called, but at no point did anyone... GROUP CHAT THE COUNTERTERRORISM PLAN.

Were the messages “war plans” or “attack plans”? Was the information classified, sensitive or something in between? Regardless, Graham Brookie from Atlantic Council tells me the conversation never should have been on Signal at all. 🎧 Listen on @POLITICO Tech:
