The group included Foreign Affairs Chair GREGORY MEEKS (D-N.Y.), Intelligence Chair ADAM SCHIFF (D-Calif.) and Rules Chair JIM MCGOVERN (D-Mass.). "The group met with Ukrainian President VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY and other top officials in Kyiv, the country's capital. A video posted on Zelenskyy's Twitter account showed the lawmakers walking the streets of Kyiv before being greeted by the Ukrainian leader outside the presidential palace," Alex Ward, Andrew Desiderio and Sarah Ferris report. Statement from the group: "Our delegation traveled to Kyiv to send an unmistakable and resounding message to the entire world: America stands firmly with Ukraine. When we return to the United States, we will do so further informed, deeply inspired and ready to do what is needed to help the Ukrainian people as they defend democracy for their nation and for the world."

"I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than I have," President Joe Biden said. | Patrick Semansky/AP Photo | NERD PROM COMES TO A CLOSE — On Saturday night, President JOE BIDEN and TREVOR NOAH traded jokes and celebrated the First Amendment with more than 2,000 government officials, media members and celebrities at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. After former President DONALD TRUMP skipped the dinner during his time in office, Biden's return to the podium marked a return to tradition. "This is the first time a president has attended in six years — it's understandable — we had a horrible plague followed by two years of Covid," Biden said. "Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year — now that would really have been a real coup." But Biden's speech also comes amid a tumultuous time. America is still digging out of a deadly pandemic. Inflation is rampant. War has gripped Ukraine. Opening his remarks, Biden nodded to the fact that he's facing headwinds with a quick joke: "I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than I have." But he also acknowledged the Covid concerns around the event, and sought to project confidence — keeping with the administration's latest approach to the coronavirus: "We're here to show the country that we're getting through this pandemic." Plus, he said, "everyone had to prove they're fully vaccinated and boosted. So if you're at home watching this and you're wondering how to do that, just contact your favorite Fox News reporter. They're all here — vaccinated and boosted, all of them." Some more highlights from Biden:
- "I'm not worried about the midterms. I'm not worried about them. We may end up with more partisan gridlock, but I'm confident we can work it out in my remaining six years in the presidency."
- "Folks, I'm not really here to roast the GOP. That's not my style. Besides, there's nothing I can say about the GOP that KEVIN MCCARTHY hasn't already put on tape."
- "Republicans seem to support one fella: Some guy named Brandon. He's having a really good year, and I'm kind of happy for him!"
In a serious turn toward the end of his remarks, Biden lauded the media members in the room for their coverage of crises — from the pandemic to the war in Ukraine: "The free press is not the enemy of the people, far from it," he said. "The truth matters. American democracy is not a reality show. It's not a reality show. It's reality itself." And as he turned the mic over to Noah, Biden said: "The really good news is, now you get to roast the president of the United States, and unlike in Moscow, you won't go to jail." Noah's set was far more irreverent and biting than Biden's, drawing mostly laughs from the crowded ballroom — and the occasional cringe when one of his jokes landed a bit too close to someone's home network. Some highlights from Noah:
- "It is my great honor to be speaking tonight at the nation's most distinguished super-spreader event. For real, what are we doing here? Did none of you learn anything from the Gridiron dinner? … The second someone offers you a free dinner you all turn into JOE ROGAN. … [ANTHONY] FAUCI thought it was too dangerous to come tonight. PETE DAVIDSON thinks it's OK. And we all went with Pete."
- "I'm not doing this just for the attention. Alright? I'm a comedian, not KYRSTEN SINEMA. By the way, give it up for Kyrsten Sinema. Whoever thought we'd see the day in American politics when a senator could be openly bisexual, but closeted Republican? That's progress."
- "We all saw what happened at the Oscars. I've actually been a bit worried about tonight. I won't lie. What if I make a really mean joke about KELLYANNE CONWAY, and then her husband rushes up on the stage and thanks me?"
- "I've just got to say, this is so exciting. To be at this swanky party full of Washington's most powerful people. It's not as exciting as MADISON CAWTHORN made it sound, but it's still very sexy."
- "The great chef JOSÉ ANDRÉS is here tonight. … Whenever there's a disaster anywhere in the world, chef José is there, which I guess is why he's sitting at the CNN table tonight."
- "The real reason that it's such an honor to be here tonight is that we all get to be in the same room as the most powerful man in the United States. So let's give it up for JOE MANCHIN, everybody."
- "Even as first lady, Dr. [JILL] BIDEN continued her teaching career. The first time a presidential spouse has done so, ever. Congratulations. Now, you might think it's because she loves teaching so much, but it's actually because she's still paying off her student debt. I'm sorry about that, Jill. I guess you should've voted for BERNIE [SANDERS]."
- "Fox News is sort of like a Waffle House. Yeah, it's relatively normal in the afternoon, but as soon as the sun goes down, there's a drunk lady named JEANINE threatening to fight every Mexican who comes in."
And as he left the podium, Noah delivered one last parting barb: "Please be careful leaving tonight, we all know this administration doesn't handle evacuations well." Oh, and we can't help but include this one: "Axios is actually Greek for POLITICO Playbook without the birthdays."

KT Tunstall broke into spontaneous song with the band. Imposing chandeliers and floral arrangements flanked a long food table, from which guests snatched lobster mango empanadas, pomegranate lollipop lamb chops, grilled polenta diamonds with Brie and caramelized onions, coconut creme brulee and more.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ahead of Tuesday's Ohio Senate primary election. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images | | | PLAYBOOK READS | | MUST-READ SERIES OF THE DAY FOX IN THE HENHOUSE — The NYT posted a blockbuster series of stories Saturday on TUCKER CARLSON's rise and reign at Fox News, called "American Nationalist," reported by Nicholas Confessore. They're worth a chunk of your time this weekend. 1. "How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable": The story drills down into the ethos of Carlson's show. Here's the tweet-length summary: "Mr. Carlson has constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news — and also, by some measures, the most successful." A little deeper: "Now Mr. Carlson's on-air technique — gleefully courting blowback, then fashioning himself as his aggrieved viewers' partner in victimhood — has helped position him, as much as anyone, to inherit the populist movement that grew up around Mr. Trump. At a moment when white backlash is the jet fuel of a Republican Party striving to return to power in Washington, he has become the pre-eminent champion of Americans who feel most threatened by the rising power of Black and brown citizens. To channel their fear into ratings, Mr. Carlson has adopted the rhetorical tropes and exotic fixations of white nationalists, who have watched gleefully from the fringes of public life as he popularizes their ideas. … "To a degree not broadly appreciated outside Fox, 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' is the apex of a programming and editorial strategy that transformed the network during the Trump era, according to interviews with dozens of current and former Fox executives, producers and journalists. Like the Republican Party itself, Fox has sought to wring rising returns out of a slowly declining audience: the older white conservatives who make up Mr. Trump's base and much of Fox's core viewership." The Fox News response: "A Fox spokeswoman rejected those characterizations of the network's strategy, pointing to coverage of stories like President Biden's inauguration and the war in Ukraine, where a Fox cameraman was killed in March while on assignment. In a statement, JUSTIN WELLS, a senior executive producer overseeing Mr. Carlson's show, defended the host's rhetoric and choice of topics." 2. "How Tucker Carlson Reshaped Fox News — and Became Trump's Heir": In the second installment, Confessore gets into Carlson's status within the network — both how his star rose and what it means for the media empire. "At Fox, his popularity with viewers has allowed him to fend off external critics and shut down those within, from news anchors to junior employees who objected to his rhetoric. His importance to the Murdochs has grown along with his ratings, giving him unusual power at the network. During the waning months of Mr. Trump's presidency, Mr. Carlson would harness the tidal wave of white resentment animated by Mr. Trump to draw the largest audience of any show on television. "Today, Mr. Carlson's influence reaches far beyond the channel he works for, or the audience that tunes in to his show. Mr. Trump is out of office and banned or suspended from the leading social media platforms. But Mr. Carlson remains, both high priest and champion of Mr. Trump's most ardent followers." 3. "How 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' Fuels Extremism and Fear": "A New York Times analysis of 1,150 episodes reveals how Tucker Carlson pushes extremist ideas and conspiracy theories into millions of households, five nights a week. He's done so since the beginning, but the show has gotten darker. Mr. Carlson, 52, has one of the largest megaphones in all of cable television. When President Donald J. Trump left office, Mr. Carlson filled the void on the right. "When you enter Mr. Carlson's world each night, you are among his three million viewers — and part of a Fox News audience that is 92 percent white and overwhelmingly older, according to Nielsen data. They are the 'ruling class.' They threaten everything you believe in."

Good for Republicans: They have major advantages on some of the issues voters say are most important. The GOP is more trusted to handle crime by 12 points (the highest disparity in more than three decades), the economy by 14 points and inflation by 19 points. Not as bad for Democrats: They have a 1-point advantage on the congressional ballot — likely not enough to hold the House, but a significant improvement from their 10-point deficit in November. And Biden's approval rating, while still low at 42%, is up 5 points from February. 2. STATE OF THE UNIONS: The White House is considering inviting unionizing Amazon and Starbucks workers for a visit, as they're "eager to align themselves with the apparent revival of the labor movement that they argue is the result of their economic policies," WaPo's Jeff Stein and Greg Jaffe report. It would be a much more pro-labor stance than recent Democratic (or Republican) administrations have adopted, and Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (I-Vt.) is among those pushing for a visit. 3. FIRST STEP TWO-STEP: Trump thought criminal justice reform would unlock the Black vote for him. But now, the GOP is moving in a different direction, Meridith McGraw reports . "The First Step Act was not just hailed as a rare bipartisan achievement for the 45th president but as the beginning of a major shift in GOP politics, one that would move the party past the 1980s tough-on-crime mindset to a focus on rehabilitation, racial fairness and second chances. … With spikes in crime registering as a top concern for voters, Republicans have increasingly reverted back to that 1980s mindset. Talk of additional legislation has taken a back seat to calls for enhanced policing and accusations that Democratic-led cities are veering toward lawlessness." 4. MANCHIN IN THE MIDDLE: Sen. JOE MANCHIN (D-W.Va.) is wading into a home-state member-vs.-member primary — on the other side of the aisle. In a new ad released Friday, Manchin backs GOP Rep. DAVID MCKINLEY over fellow GOP Rep. ALEX MOONEY, touting McKinley's opposition to Biden's agenda ahead of next week's primary. Mooney, who's supported by Trump, has been hammering McKinley for voting for the bipartisan infrastructure bill. More from CNN 5. WHAT THE TRUMP EFFECT CAN'T COVER — Trump's endorsement of MEHMETOZ has given the former TV doctor a bump in the polls. "But it hasn't erased doubts about his conservative bona fides. Or quelled concerns about his past positions on abortion. Or buried his closest rival. In short, the endorsement hasn't transformed Pennsylvania's closely watched GOP Senate primary," Holly Otterbein reports in Tafton, Pa. 6. INFLATION NATION: High prices are pinching Phoenix worse than any other metro area of its size, posing a particular political challenge for Sen. MARK KELLY's (D-Ariz.) reelect, according to Bloomberg's Gregory Korte and Laura Litvan. 7. KISS IMMIGRATION REFORM GOODBYE: Sen. BOB MENENDEZ (D-N.J.) says there is "zero" chance of it happening this year, as the GOP remains focused on the border and Democrats lack the votes to pass even small reforms, Marianne LeVine, Sarah Ferris and Laura Barrón-López report this morning. Advocates worry that Democrats' failure to deliver could damage them in the midterms — and they're hoping for some changes via executive action instead. 8. BUILDING THAT WALL: Trump has been out of office more than a year, but his border wall is still being constructed in many places, The New Yorker's Stephania Taladrid reports: "Republican governors are in the process of building new sections of barriers in their states with hundreds of millions of dollars in government and private funding. Federal regulations have delayed attempts by the Biden Administration to cancel numerous wall-construction contracts issued by Trump in his final weeks in office." 9. PLAYBOOK METRO SECTION: Stealing checks from mailboxes has surged during the pandemic, and one of the new hot spots is D.C.'s wealthy suburbs: Bethesda, Potomac and Chevy Chase have seen hundreds of recent instances, WaPo's Alisa Tang and Razzan Nakhlawi report. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN UKRAINE "Russia is calling in troops based in its far east to join the battle in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military high command said on Saturday, as Moscow seeks to reinforce its war-fighting force amid heavy losses and signs that its drive to seize eastern Ukraine has stalled," NYT's Marc Santora, Jane Arraf and Michael Levenson report . "Adding to the sense that both sides appeared to be girding for a war of attrition, Ukrainians on Saturday lined up at gas stations across the country as the government struggled to deal with a fuel shortage caused by Russian attacks on oil infrastructure."
