Morning ladies. Seeming more clear that the incident with a Ryanair flight being forced to land while in Belarusian airspace was a ploy simply to allow Belarus to arrest an opposition journalist. The flight was going from Greece to Lithuania. Everyone on board was searched and Roman Protasevich was basically kidnapped. He said before leaving the plane he was facing a death sentence. This is really not great. www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57219860

I spent the weekend relaxing and writing postcards for Melanie Stansbury in New Mexico. I love postcards to voters. I can turn my mind off for a bit and still be productive.

Gordon Sondland is suing Pompeo and State bc they're refusing to pay his legal fees Every time a story like this comes up,, all I can wonder is what on earth people thought would happen working in Donal.d Tr.ump's administration 'The complaint alleges that Pompeo told Sondland that government lawyers would not be made available to represent him but that if he hired his own counsel, his attorney fees would be covered by the U.S. government. Top aides to Pompeo also acknowledged this commitment, the suit alleges, but “everything changed” after Sondland delivered his testimony alleging a “quid pro quo” and then refused to resign despite a request from one of Pompeo’s most trusted aides, Ulrich Brechbuhl.' www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/pompeo-lawsuit-gordon-sondland/2021/05/24/c93f1862-bc23-11eb-9bae-5a86187646fe_story.html#click=https://t.co/fEejegeAGm

I don't get why Republicans think bringing up the fact that the Democrats were super racist 150 years ago is some kind of amazing brilliant gotcha (Eta: there's a voter ID law hearing going on)

Cecelia: why hasn't POTUS fixed systemic racism yet?
Jen: police reform talks are ongoing. Senator Scott is negotiating with us in good faith. The need for reform is clear and we do hope the activism and engagement will get the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act across the finish line.
CV: "is there a crime problem in this country?"
Jwn: "I would certainly say there's a gun problem in this country " lots if attention on mass shootings but there is daily, persistent gun violence that has to stop

POTUS was briefed on Belarus; He yelled at Russia about it. Administration strongly condemns these extreme, brazen acts and demands an international investigation.

Kelly O'Donnell: will POTUS still meet with Putin in light of Russia's support for Lukashenko?
Jen: we're still hammering out details. This isn't a friendly make nice meeting. They aren't getting together to play Mario Kart. POTUS will be making his concerns clear.

Mr Floyd's family is coming to the White House tomorrow but the meeting will be private. Potus will make public remarks separately.

KO: why haven't you guys met your own timelines for getting major legislation done?
Jen: because that's not always how legislating works. We're encouraged by the progress We're making but we want the legislation passed
