Supreme Court Packers: President Biden reaffirmed his support for Ukraine during a fiery speech in Poland on Tuesday. His address followed his clandestine trip to Kyiv – and hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow will suspend its participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty with the U.S. Wisconsin voters headed to the polls for the state’s Supreme Court primary — a nonpartisan race that will nevertheless decide the court's ideological majority.
