Description
The Biden White House’s plan for this week, as of one week ago: Spend
the end of June focusing on foreign policy, making use of a pair of
European summits (the G-7 and NATO) to rally support for the hard-fought
international coalition that formed in opposition to Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine.
The Biden White House’s plan for this week, as of now: Scrap that. Yes,
the summits will go on but the big story will be the aftermath of the
Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade — which eliminated the
right to an abortion, and may have dramatically changed American
politics in doing so.

Nov. 19, 2021: After months of wrangling, what’s another few hours?: If a “New York minute” is a few passing seconds, then the opposite is a “McCarthy minute” — something that drags on and on for hours. On Thursday night, at 8:38 p.m., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took to the House floor with a speech designed to delay Democrats’ passage of the Build Back Better package. This morning, at 5:10 a.m., some 8 hours and 32 minutes later, he finally stopped talking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
