About that gaffe: Biden seemed caught up in the force of his rhetoric — riding the wave of his oration right into a nine-word statement that surprised even his own aides. My latest from Warsaw, w @tylerpager. https://t.co/dRG3AJYz2J pic.twitter.com/6zAdIKisvh

I support Biden and I support his foreign policy in Ukraine (I actually want him to be more aggressive) but this was a significant mistake at a significant moment.

Republicans now have a big opening and can rightfully demand clarification.
Biden may have committed a gaffe when he said “This man cannot remain in power.” Certainly the walk-back from the White House suggests this was the case. But I would rather have a president who isn’t afraid to call out Putin for his war crimes than one who toadies up to him.

Republicans calling for the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment when Biden verbally attacks Putin for the invasion of Ukraine but not when Trump directed an attempted coup is all you need to know about the current state of the Republican Party.

No free world leader should hesitate to state plainly that the world would be a far better place if Putin were no longer in power in Russia. A good way to make that come about is to say exactly that. Russia will be pariah until Putin is gone.

The conflict could get far uglier as Putin becomes increasingly frustrated with the failure to deliver the war progress he expected. https://t.co/ml5CmdZapG

Today, the Lviv Philharmonic performed for the first time since the invasion—with refugees from across Ukraine joining the orchestra! It was streamed online, as the concert hall is now a warehouse for medical supplies that go to hospitals. Like food, music to nourish the soul! 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/ejkv2pqNa5

On parade next week in London will be Andrew Windsor, financially helped by brother Charles(and possibly his mam) to settle a £12m sex case.
Tick-tick.

Next time someone's interviewing Jeffrey Donaldson about his wee "rile up the boys" gathering can ye do us all a favour and ask him what the DUP's great plan is for replacing the GFA?
