@joewertz @NPR Right you are, Joe. Thank you for letting us know.

The lives of Putin's two adult daughters have been shrouded in secrecy for years. Putin does not answer questions about them or even say their names in public. Yesterday they were sanctioned. This is what we know about them.

First the Russians kicked in the door and threw a grenade into the house. Then, they dragged his son-in-law outside and shot him in the head. A truly haunting dispatch from Bucha via @becsully ...

California not only has the most gun laws of any other state (107), it also has some of the nation's toughest. The question after the mass shooting in Sacramento is, how much further can it go?

icymi, great read from @jmsummers on the double bind facing Joe Biden as the jury deliberates in the Chauvin trial -- vowing to end the epidemic of Black men being killed by police, but trying to present himself as an ally to law enforcement.

Lawmakers in at least 30 states have introduced bills to keep transgender girls and women from participating on girls' and women's sports teams. GOP lawmakers have been the most vocal proponents, but a new NPR poll shows only 29% of GOP voters support them

Biden's argument has been that even if GOP lawmakers don't love his infrastructure plan, their voters do. Not exactly. Only 18% of Republicans say they're on board, per new @NPR/@NewsHour/@maristpoll
survey.

That time Rep. Katie Porter was talking about the importance of childcare as part of the president's infrastructure agenda, and was then interrupted by her children. "People! I will take you to lunch, but you have to wait 10 minutes."

Part of Biden's infrastructure pitch is that the plan is about a whole lot more than roads and bridges. It's also about leveling the playing field w/ China as a way to help the middle class.

One George W. Bush veteran on Biden's plans for getting infrastructure done: "The Biden team is effectively taking advantage of D.C.'s Trump hangover, by just engaging in straightforward communications tactics."

Great question by @ayesharascoe: Where do things stand on setting up a WH commission on policing?

@PressSec: We feel the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act in Congress is the best way forward. We don't have an update on the WH commission but we want the policing act passed.

[Jason Breslow @jbrezlow]

While there may be grumbling from progressives about the Biden infrastructure plan, criticism about the size of the proposal masks the extent to which they've reframed the policy conversation with measures like the Green New Deal. https://t.co/PoljYABiFC via @titonka

About 75% of Congress has now been vaccinated. The city of Washington, D.C., more like 14% fully vaccinated.

The Biden administration may be moving to take decisions about asylum cases on the southern border away from DOJ and hand them over to Homeland Security in a bid to speed up the process and discourage unauthorized migration.

Federal inmates have one way to email, and that's through a system set up through the Bureau of Prisons. If they want to use, critics say, they have to "voluntarily" agree to sign away attorney-client privilege.

A name to remember ... Ketanji Brown Jackson. Nominated today to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and quite possibly, a justice in waiting for the Supreme Court.

To date, the CDC has not received evidence linking a single death directly to vaccines. And yet, stories about people dying after getting a vaccine continue to be among the most popular vaccine-related articles on social media. https://t.co/7da9CVhwCP via @MilesParks

Biden is approaching rarefied air when it comes to the number of executive orders he's put out in his first month in office. He's now just two away from FDR, who holds the record.
