Who’s sending an ultimatum…

The Kremlin. Yesterday, Russia called on Ukrainians in Mariupol to "lay down their arms" if they want safe passage out of the southern port city. The city links Crimea with Russian-backed enclaves — and has been under heavy Russian shelling for weeks. The demand comes after Ukrainian officials say Russian forces bombed an art school where about 400 people were sheltering. Now, Ukraine is saying they’re rejecting the offer — and that there will be “no talk of any surrender.”

…Oh and, all of this comes as President Biden is set to travel to Europe later this week to “rally the world in support of the Ukrainian people."

What’s got Republicans saying ‘about time’...

The New York Times. Last week, a new report into the investigation of Hunter Biden’s taxes confirmed that the laptop found in a Delaware repair shop back in 2020 was authentic. At the time, the laptop launched allegations of corruption against the president's son during then-candidate Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. But dozens of former intel experts dismissed the laptop's contents as a “Russian information operation.” News orgs and social media companies — including the Times — approached it with skepticism and limited its distribution. And Twitter temporarily took the New York Post — which first broke the story — offline. Now, the Times says the emails were "authenticated by people familiar with them" as well as with those tied to the tax investigation. President Biden and Hunter Biden have yet to comment on the new developments. Neither has Twitter. But the news has a lot of people saying they weren’t crying wolf.
