Kirby also wouldn't say what the US intelligence community's assessment is right now re: what Xi Jinping himself knew or didn't know about the balloon shot down this weekend -- including whether Xi himself specifically condoned dispatching this specific balloon over US airspace. — PolitiTweet.org

@Kevinliptakcnn Lawmakers have not heard from Biden officials re: US-Saudi relations review admin said it would do in consultation w/ Congress. “There is only so much patience one can have when you’ve been asking for a conversation for four months,” a senior Dem aide said of growing frustration — PolitiTweet.org

Several months after Biden promised Saudi Arabia would suffer "consequences" after OPEC+ said it would cut oil production, administration is taking no proactive steps to punish the kingdom, and the US-Saudi review isn't happening either. w/ @Kevinliptakcnn https://t.co/4Ao6SYfMLH — PolitiTweet.org

@Kevinliptakcnn When Biden spoke privately w/ Rev. Al Sharpton today at the MLK Day breakfast, he made no mention of the classified documents, according to Sharpton. And when Biden did bring up House Republicans, it had nothing to do with their threats of investigations. https://t.co/LzvZodyEqR — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

@Kevinliptakcnn Biden has grown frustrated at how the saga has played out -- particularly, the way it has overtaken what had been a positive stretch for the WH. And there's a mood of quiet resignation among Biden aides -- an "It is what it is" mentality -- as they wait. https://t.co/LzvZodyEqR — PolitiTweet.org
