Russia's defense minister says he's ordering troops back from the border, reducing the fears of military action against Ukraine. But hedging his bets, he directs troops to leave armored vehicles there just in case. ⁦@AndrewKramerNYT⁩ https://t.co/VPvkAGCmoc — PolitiTweet.org

In much-anticipated speech, Putin announces no military action against Ukraine but rattles the saber: “I hope no one gets the idea to cross the so-called red line with Russia — and we will be the ones to decide where it runs in every concrete case.” https://t.co/WFwBxDlAFJ — PolitiTweet.org

That time a novice reporter named @JaneMayerNYer ran across a tarmac frantically waving her arms to flag down a campaign plane before it took off. "As I sheepishly scampered aboard, I was greeted personally by Mondale, who stood there laughing.” https://t.co/u9eajWrIbb — PolitiTweet.org

Bush worries about a Republican Party that has turned away from the values he and others once promoted. "I would describe it as isolationist, protectionist and to a certain extent nativist." ⁦@GlennThrush⁩ https://t.co/5PRJnlYdOj — PolitiTweet.org

Just before the Chauvin verdict was announced, the White House canceled a speech Biden was to deliver on infrastructure so he could watch the proceedings alongside Harris and aides in his private dining room near the Oval Office.⁦@katierogers⁩ https://t.co/wliVpsA0We — PolitiTweet.org

Mondale was first vice president to have a West Wing office, to live at the residence, to be a real partner. “You can divide every vice president in American history into two categories: pre-Walter Mondale and post-Walter Mondale." ⁦@StevenRWeisman⁩ https://t.co/Fz6g5o3JOH — PolitiTweet.org

A study of Supreme Court opinions back to 1784 finds that the justices in recent years have expressed an increasingly negative view of the press and press freedom. There hasn't been a single positive reference in more than a decade. ⁦@adamliptak⁩ https://t.co/Zz69JuNAu9 — PolitiTweet.org

Mondale was the first presidential candidate I covered in person -- as a college journalist, I went to a speech he gave while campaigning in 1984. Later in life he was always gracious and willing to talk about politics and the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

RIP Walter Mondale, the champion of liberal politics who set the precedent for how a vice president could be a real partner to the president, but later lost his own bid for the White House to Reagan in 1984. ⁦@StevenRWeisman⁩ https://t.co/Fz6g5o3JOH — PolitiTweet.org

@jimsciutto I was there too and Jim, you’re totally right. Standing outside the school as all those children were killed was the most devastating thing I’ve ever seen as a reporter. Putin’s response was to eliminate the election of governors so he could install them himself. — PolitiTweet.org
