Biden: “This was never about a genuine security concern on their part. It was always about naked aggression — about Putin’s desire for empire, by any means necessary.”
Biden said Putin will “bear the consequences” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Biden said Putin wants to reestablish the Soviet Union.

Biden: "Let me say it again: Our forces are not — and will not — be engaged in the conflict with Russia in Ukraine."
Biden says the new sanctions against Russia are designed “to maximize a long-term impact on Russia” and “minimize the impact” on the U.S. and its allies.

The U.S. has now sanctioned "Russian banks that together hold around $1 trillion in assets," Biden said.

Stop speculating on Trump’s plan for a second term and follow the reporting.

Here are three deeply reported pieces on how he plans to staff his administration if he wins and then manage them in the country — all based on loyalty-first vetting.

But it's not just the Cabinet. Trump's allies are spending tens of millions to install a pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists at every level of government.

Even for Donald Trump’s tradition-wrecking era in politics, the scene today will be extraordinary:

A Secret Service motorcade will deliver an ex-president to a courthouse, where he’ll be arraigned on felony charges. trib.al/354Ojww
Catch up quick: Trump is the first U.S. president — sitting or former — in history to face criminal charges.

He was indicted last week by a New York grand jury on charges related to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. trib.al/cbTcpVO
With the world watching as Trump makes history with his court appearance, Axios’ congressional reporter @SophiaCai99 is in the line of journalists who have gathered since yesterday to have access to the courthouse.
