President Biden set his sights at the State of the Union on Russian oligarchs, COVID fraudsters, social media platforms and even defund-the-police efforts — populist targets in a broader speech about national and global unity.

Why it matters: Biden's anti-Russia, pro-Ukraine passages inspired the only real partisan unity in the chamber.

"The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs. We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains."

On Vladimir Putin, Biden ad-libbed: "He has no idea what’s coming."
