Covid-19 is the virus of Theseus. How many gene changes before it’s not Covid-19 anymore? I supposedly have it again (sigh), but almost no symptoms.

Putin has the gall to say he is “de-Nazifying” Ukraine. This lie isn’t just cynical. It is obscene. President Zelenskyy was democratically elected. He is Jewish — his father’s family was wiped out in the Nazi Holocaust.

My message to the people of Ukraine is the message I delivered today to the Ukrainian Foreign Minister and Defense Minister: We stand with you.

I’m announcing additional sanctions on over 400 Russian elites, lawmakers, and defense companies in response to Putin’s war of choice in Ukraine. They personally gain from the Kremlin’s policies, and they should share in the pain.

This morning in Brussels, I met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. I’m now traveling to Poland to meet with President Andrzej Duda, receive a briefing on our humanitarian response, and visit members of the 82nd Airborne Division.

This afternoon, I met with members of the 82nd Airborne Division on the ground in Poland. These folks are serving alongside our Polish Allies to bolster NATO’s frontline defenses. They’re doing incredible work and I’m grateful for their service.

Today we learned that the number of new unemployment claims is now lower than it was before the pandemic in 2019. Our labor market is strong.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, folks.

Don Young always stayed true to who he was and the people of Alaska he represented. His legacy will continue in the America he loved. Jill and I send our prayers to his wife Anne, to his daughters and the entire Young family, and to the people of Alaska.

I just signed the Bipartisan Government Funding Bill into law — keeping the government open and providing a historic $13.6 billion in funding to Ukraine.

Gender equality is not a “women’s issue” alone. It benefits everyone. Our society. Our economy. Our country.

I hereby challenge Владимир Путин to single combat Stakes are Україна

Last year, the deficit dropped for the first time since 2015 — it fell by $360 billion. And this year, it’s on track to drop by more than $1 trillion. After four years in a row of increasing deficits, we’re on track to see the largest-ever decline in history.

Later today, together with the other nations of the G7 and the EU, we will jointly announce several new steps to squeeze Putin and to hold him accountable for his aggression against Ukraine. I want to speak to a few key points.

The totality of our sanctions is crushing the Russian economy. The ruble has lost more than half its value. The list of private businesses leaving Russia is growing by the day.
