Threat priorities? A global French Revolution. Gangsters like Xi and Putin think they'll be able to ride it out. Trump? Who cares? His cabinet?

KARL: What do you make of Trump's pardon of George Santos?

JOHNSON: POTUS has the right under the Constitution. We believe in redemption

White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt:

In both of these conversations with both Putin and Zelensky, they were cordial,but very frank. And the president of the United States has said to both sides of this war,this has been going on for far too long. Far too many innocent people have been killed.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺"If this war does not end, if there's no path to peace in the short term, then the United States, along with our allies, will take the steps necessary to impose costs on Russia for its continued aggression.”
