Today’s most important quote is from Blinken in Kyiv:

Journalist: “The Biden administration has made clear it doesn’t want Ukraine using US equipment to strike onto Russian territory […] Does that ban make sense [?]”

Blinken “We have not encouraged or enabled strikes outside of Ukraine, but ultimately Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it’s going to conduct this war.”

"With Trump's rivals in both the primary and general elections highlighting Trump's inability to distinguish between his GOP primary opponent (Nikki Haley) and the former Democratic Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi), responsible media should be headlining the story.
