Biden was just asked whether people should continue to wear masks on planes. "That's up to them," he says. On whether the court ruling will be appealed, he says he hasn't "spoken to the CDC yet." — PolitiTweet.org

Psaki said people are not confused post-court ruling yesterday. “I would discount the notion that people are confused, we are here to alleviate the confusion, right? So, the CDC continues to advise and recommend masks on airplanes." (h/t @DJJudd) — PolitiTweet.org

New Russia sanctions could be coming this week and are under consideration, Jen Psaki says. During a call this morning, Biden and world leaders discussed continuing to provide Ukraine with security, economic and humanitarian assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Psaki also says DOJ continues to review yesterday's court ruling in terms of next possible legal steps. Reiterates that the admin believes public health decisions should be made by public health professionals, not the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

So the mask mandate is not in effect, but it also continues to be recommended -- fair to say some people might find this confusing. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

White House press secretary Jen Psaki says that the recommendation is for Americans to follow the CDC guideline and mask up on airplanes. But yesterday, admin official said "today’s court decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect ." — PolitiTweet.org

Jen Psaki has been asked about Coons' comments more than once so far at today's WH briefing. She reiterates that Biden has no intention of sending US troops to Ukraine (Coons clarified, per below, that that's not something he supports right now). — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

There are still no plans for President Biden to go to Ukraine. She also notes that if anyone were to go: "We would not outline from here or anywhere from the government, who, if, and when, for security reasons, so we wouldn't have any details to preview regardless.” — PolitiTweet.org

When asked about those initial comments on CBS this weekend, Coons said unless the west helps Ukraine "more forcefully," he worries "what's going to happen next is that we will see Ukraine turn into Syria." "Putin will only stop when we stop him" Coons told @margbrennan. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Sen. Coons does not currently believe US troops should go into Ukraine, according to an aide to the senator -- a position the Biden administration holds. That clarification comes after Coons said this: https://t.co/98ulXJgxGP https://t.co/zUnc1RKXnS — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Coons does believe that the question of how much the US is willing to do if Vladimir Putin escalates in Ukraine further should be an ongoing conversation, and supports sending more advanced weapons systems to help Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Coons has been worried that there would soon be “Ukraine fatigue” and that America’s level of engagement and concern for Ukraine would fade in the coming months -- the comments were aimed at expressing moral outrage, person says. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Sen. Chris Coons wasn't trying to indicate with his comments to CBS this weekend that he disagreed with Biden’s decisions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict or that he believes the President isn’t acting forcefully enough, per a person familiar with the senator’s thinking. — PolitiTweet.org
