ESPN Disputes Political Bias: In a survey conducted for ESPN about ESPN, ESPN says that narrative is wrong | | | What the White House is Talking About:
President Trump this afternoon meets with House and Senate leadership.
What the White House Press Corps is Talking About:
POTUS tweets, do they matter, or don't they? Also, Sean Spicer back at the podium for the 2 p.m. briefing.
Wait, What?:
Did Trump just take credit for what's happening with Qatar? Think he did. FWIW, Hunter always counts how long it takes between tweets on a multi-part tweet spree from the President; he says it was 8 minutes between these two. | | Biden's All, 'Hey, It's Me, Uncle Joe':
On Friday night at Mitt Romney's summit of leaders and moguls, Joe Biden will be interviewed by the former GOP presidential candidate. Because of the 2020 speculation and whatnot.
The Comey Countdown is ON:
I feel like the best time to drive anywhere in Washington will be Thursday when James Comey is testifying, so at 10 a.m. I'm just going to do loop-de-loops around Dupont Circle. | | "Media Superheroes and Supervilliains of Trumptown!":
This Washingtonian feature is worth a read, if only to get to know the oddball-ish cast of characters in the press who've emerged in the wake of Trump's presidency. The Noah Lanard illustrations are pretty baller. | | Credit: washingtonian.com
You Know Who's a Badass? Dana Bash, That's Who:
Dana Bash, CNN colleague (and, full disclosure, one of my ride or die girlfriends) hosts a new series, Badass Women of Washington, which is kicking off tomorrow night with a big premiere. Dana interviews seven amazing women whose stories are inspiring and, well, badass. Read the stories and see the videos here because I think you'll agree. Personally, I think Dana, who does all she does for this network while being an amazing mom to her young son, is Queen BA. | | Credit: cnn.com
Kellyanne Conway's Going To ENTERTAIN:
I meant to get to this last week, but I was out of town, so let's revisit: Kellyanne Conway did an interview with Mansion Global, a luxury real estate site that profiles people and their mansions. Conway talks about the recent purchase of her $7.8 million home in the Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood of Northwest DC. A snippet of Conway's interview about her new home reveals she is living near rich people who are richer than her on the rich scale: "I'm the poorest kid on the block." Conway, who is renovating and redecorating the place, says she will "dive into social hosting" when she can. | | Credit: Google Maps (house); Paul Morigi/Getty Images (Conway); mansionglobal.com
Javanka Attend Lynch Foundation Gala:
Last night Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner stepped out at the Kennedy Center for the Lynch Foundation benefit. A lot of celebrities were there -- for Washington. The Hill's Judy Kurtz tweeted a pic of Ivanka, who she witnessed dancing in her seat, and Jared, who sat a row behind his wife, with his head in his phone. Ivanka wore her second J. Mendel dress of the week; she wore a $5,500 last-season, black and red gown to the Ford's Theatre gala on Sunday night. This one was a short, cocktail number that retails for $4,290.
Dress Like the First Daughter, for Cheap:
Like, $17.50 cheap. Yesterday, Ivanka wore this short, sleeveless Victoria Beckham for Target collection black dress with a big calla lily on the front. Now, again, this is a cute dress, but it prolongs my insane curiosity about why Ivanka wears garden party-esque frocks to work in the West Wing. I'm not a prude about clothes, by any means, but she continually wears very summery sleeveless, short, floral outfits to the White House for work and it's got me a little worked up. What do you think? Am I overreacting? Tell me at coverlinekate@cnn.com. | | | Credit Mark Wilson/Getty Images/target.com | | What Washington is Talking About:
Republicans today will head to the White House where President Trump will pitch them on his healthcare and tax reform agenda.

"The tendency at times is for people to say 'my life is miserable,'" Bush told the group, according to NBCDFW. "And then all of a sudden they look at you and they say, 'Wow, this is a leader. This is somebody who has overcome a lot worse than I've overcome.'"
