President Joe Biden is in Europe, reminding everyone that he's commander in chief — even as Republicans back home are angling to try to take his job. Today, he'll huddle with Polish President Andrzej Duda and give a speech at Warsaw Castle ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine later this week. The meeting comes as the media is still buzzing about his surprise visit to Kyiv — a risky endeavor that reportedly infuriated cronies of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who may respond as he delivers his annual parliamentary address today in Moscow. Meanwhile, on the home front, GOP presidential contenders are revving their engines. — In his Don't-Call-It-A-Campaign-Yet campaign, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit up New York, Chicago and Philly yesterday, touting his tough-on-crime agenda and goading liberal cities and prosecutors as “woke” and out of touch.

NBC's Natasha Korecki writes that in speaking to “the rank and file of some of the biggest police unions in the country, DeSantis was homing in on a specialized electorate Trump has owned since he first ran for president in 2016.” Tomorrow, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) will head to Iowa, while former President Donald Trump will head to East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a train derailment two weeks ago that has unleashed toxic chemicals into the surrounding community.

Congress is three days out from a critical vote on a key plank of the president's agenda — a massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure package (BIF) — and President Joe Biden and House Democratic leaders haven't even started the whipping process, we're told from sources across the Democratic spectrum. Our colleagues Natasha Korecki and Laura Barrón-López reported Sunday night that the president was making calls and doing Zoom sessions from Camp David over the weekend on BIF and the larger reconciliation package. But the seeming lack of urgency so far — given the sheer scale of the task and mere days to complete it — is alarming some House Democrats going into a critical week, multiple people involved told us Sunday night. “I don't understand why the president isn't whipping his own historic bill,” said one moderate House Democrat.

U.S. Court of Appeals - 194842-1-DVD - Slave Reparations Case Oral Arguments - The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Farmer-Paellmann v. Brown and Williamson, a case involving slavery reparations. The program began with a telephone interview from Chicago with Natasha Korecki talking about the case. The oral arguments were audio only with a still picture of each speaker shown on the screen. Madans and Pell argued against slave reparations. Wareham, Afran, and Ratliff argued in favor of reparations. This case centers on whether the predecessor companies of J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, and 18 other corporate defendants extended loans to slave owners using slaves as collateral and if the predecessor companies of major insurance agencies, such as Aetna and Lloyds of London, wrote life-insurance policies on the lives of slaves with slave owners as the beneficiaries. Deadria Farmer-Paellmann was the lead plaintiff in this case seeking to create a trust fund for the descendants of slaves. This case was dismissed by a U.S. District judge earlier in the year. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs had no standing and the statutes of limitation had run out. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only.
