Surfside, FL, Mayor Charles W. Burkett on the overnight 12-story condo collapse:

“The problem is the building has literally pancaked … It’s heartbreaking because it doesn’t mean, to me, that we’re going to be successful, as successful as we want to be, to find people alive.”

More from Surfside, FL, Mayor Charles W. Burkett:

“There’s no reason for this building to go down like that unless someone literally pulls out the supports from underneath, or they get washed out or there’s a sinkhole …”

“It’s less likely than a lightning strike. It just doesn’t happen. You don’t see buildings falling down in America, and here we had a building literally falling down.”

President Biden says he brought up Alexei Navalny, human rights abuses, and election interference with Vladimir Putin:

“The bottom line is I told President Putin that we need to have some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by.”

President Biden on meeting with Putin: “I did what I came to do …”

“I must tell you, the tone of the entire meetings — I guess it was a total of four hours — was good, positive.”

Freudian Slip of the Day: Biden refers to President Putin as President Trump, then quickly corrects himself.

The Republican attacks on Dr. Fauci continue.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): "The Fire Fauci Act will bring Dr. Fauci's salary down to zero and also will require the Senate to confirm someone to fill his position."

It's (shit)poster time:

Greene says "Absolutely not ... it has nothing to do with anyone's race."
