JACQUI TIME: "You just said...it's not in our strategic interest to reduce the supply, we also know [Biden]...talked about increasing domestic manufacturing to bring down prices on inflated items...Why not apply the same logic to energy and increase domestic production here?"
.@JacquiHeinrich: "Is there nothing that the administration could do to get those providers back to pre-pandemic levels?"

Psaki: "You think the oil companies don't have enough money to drill on the places that have been preapproved?"

Heinrich: "Just asking."
.@JacquiHeinrich: "Do you think that opening the Keystone pipeline and having more energy-friendly policies might do that?"

Psaki: "The Keystone pipeline has never been operational. It would take years for that to ever have any impact."
.@JacquiHeinrich: "During those years where it would take to bring down prices as you're saying, we should just continue to buy Russian oil?

Psaki: "Well, Jacqui, I think you're familiar w/a number of steps we've taken. A historic release from the strategic petroleum reserve"

RT is different than the other media fights. Why? Because it's government-funded and based on (a) spreading Putin's propaganda and (B) driving Americans apart by poking at and expanding wounds by portraying the U.S. as in disarray w/a corrupt system while ignoring Russia's record
And, while on the subject of government-funded media outlets....#DefundNPR

JACQUI TIME: "There are reports of illegal cluster bombs & vacuum bombs being used by the Russians. If that's true, what is the next step of this administration & is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated...that's illegal &...a war crime?"
.@JacquiHeinrich: "The new aid that you just laid out...The Post reported over the weekend that this aid will not include stingers, that it would likely come in a future batch of aid. What is the reason for that?"

Truly remarkable footage on CNN earlier this morning -- @mchancecnn was on the frontlines in Kyiv with debris everywhere, burned out trucks and armored vehicles completely destroyed -- and still smoking -- with at least one Russian body nearby.

God bless the Ukrainian military.
.@mchancecnn on @NewDay: "There were some terrible things we can't really show you on camera in terms of dead bodies, Russians still lying here on the ground...Ukrainian soldiers who I've been speaking to...are absolutely enthused by this victory."
.@JohnBerman to @mchancecnn in Kyiv: "These are remarkable pictures. Be careful. I am going to try to keep talking to you. We have a sketchy connection here. But these are really remarkable images and reporting....to still see the smoke rising from the wreckage..."

As news breaks that Putin has decided he will annex two eastern Ukrainian provinces, here's what Putin's English-language bootlickers and toadies are up to over on RT...
Putin stooge on RT: "Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Russians reside in...Donbass. They are trying to break away...They say the Ukrainian government has been discriminatory...oppressive...They're underserved...poor and...not even allowed to speak their own language in schools[.]"
And here's the announcement from Putin puppet Manila Chan on Kremlin's English-language channel RT that Putin will "officially recognize the Donbass region as independent states...He has yet to sign that declaration."

She then moved to a segment about...Jeffrey Epstein.

JACQUI TIME on @PatrickHauf's reporting: "HHS...put out a statement clarifying...reports that crack pipes...would not be part of the safe smoking kits...But can you clarify...were they never a part of the kit? Or were they removed in response to this reporting[?]"
Psaki on @PatrickHauf's @FreeBeacon story about crack pipes: "They were never a part of the kit. It was inaccurate reporting and we wanted to put out information to make that clear."
.@JacquiHeinrich: "What is in the Safe Smoking kit?

Psaki: It "may contain alcohol swabs, lip balm, other materials to promote hygiene and reduce the transmission of diseases like HIV and hepatitis....What we're really talking about...is steps...to address the opioid epidemic"
