– President Zelensky is coming to DC, will meet with President Biden around 2pm, address a joint meeting of Congress around 7:30pm. WaPo says the big news will be US deal to send Patriot missiles to Ukraine.  Politico says Ukraine wants more than US is willing to give.

– WaPo says it’s still not clear who sabotaged Nordstream lines.

– Politico says US will press Netanyahu to discipline his government.

-Legistorm says 2/3 of House offices haven’t used their increased budgets.

– Politico has details from new insider look at Biden administration. Looks like a lot of good interviews.
