Essayli’s actions conflict with formal Justice Department guidance that says federal prosecutors should not publicly weigh in on allegations of election fraud while an election count is still occurring.

It is a pleasure to be in Paris today for talks with @jnbarrot.

We spoke about the state of talks to end the Iran war and further strengthening our common EU foreign policy decision-making.

Together, we are working to build a stronger and more united Europe - one that acts with purpose, upholds its values, and defends our shared European interests.

Later today, I will also address the Two-State Solution Conference hosted by France in support of the Palestinian and Israeli civil societies committed to peace.

British Undersecretary of State for Armed Forces resigns saying Britain’s proposed Defense Investment Plan does not meet the threats faced by UK Armed Forces and underfunds the military, putting UK forces in danger.

The latest numbers from Social Security find that the Old-Age & Survivors Insurance Trust Fund is projected to be depleted by 2032, at which point benefits would be reduced by 22 percent. This is no longer a far-off problem. The senators who are elected this November will be in their final year in office in 2032; whoever wins the next presidential election will be in the final year of his first term.

The Medicare program isn’t in much better shape; the trust fund that pays for Part A, which includes inpatient hospital stays, will be unable to meet all its expected costs after the second quarter of 2033.

The EU and the Republic of Korea may be geographically distant, but our security is closely linked.

It was good to see President @Jaemyung_Lee and Foreign Minister @FMChoHyun today at our Summit to boost trade, security and defence ties.

When the international rules-based order is under attack, when aggressive neighbours threaten regional stability, we can count on South Korea as a trusted friend and partner.

That is why we are filling our Security and Defence Partnership with life. For instance, by starting work on a Security of Information Agreement to enable the secure exchange of classified information.

Thanks for putting The Fix on the @nytimes bestseller list. It is gratifying to see so much interest in ridding our government of corruption, fear, and hate.

The inflation story in one chart: gas +40% y/y, energy +24%.

An entirely self-inflicted wound caused by Trump’s War on Iran.

Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi was sworn in to the House on this date 39 years ago. Two decades later, she was running the joint. She understands power more than any other pol I've ever covered -- learned from her father, Big Tommy. AKA The legendary mayor of Baltimore.

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

W/reason, Dem fears are growing that @grahamformaine will squander their chance to beat @SenatorCollins, the last R Sen in the 19 states that have voted vs. Trump 3x. But Dems will have new options popular w/ME progressives after today's primary. My take https://t.co/gPkHrnts1c

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

If Democrats don’t flip Maine, they will need to capture Senate seats in at least 3 states that Trump won by double digits in 2024, a daunting task. And if Republicans retain the Senate, that will provide the GOP two more years to confirm younger replacements for Thomas & Alito.

Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia's war economy.

Today, we are presenting our proposals for a 21st sanctions package against Russia.

This includes a temporary freeze of the Russian oil price cap and designations of institutions used by Moscow to generate revenues and circumvent EU sanctions.

It will target banks, weapons manufacturers, oil traders, refineries, and crypto operators in third countries.

On if Trump should drop Pulte, Thune says, "I'm familiar with some of the conversations that are happening around that. I think I'll let the White House speak to whatever the next plan might be there."

"But we can't pass this on the floor without Democrats," he says of FISA.

Barbara Pierce (Bush), who would become only the second woman in history to be both the wife and mother of presidents, was born on this date 101 years ago. My privilege to have written the biography of this formidable and funny force of nature.
