The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

Abortion providers say Missouri's attorney general is trying to get patient records

Missouri's Republican attorney general is trying to get the medical records of Planned Parenthood patients who've had abortions, officials who oversee clinics in Kansas City and St. Louis said in legal filings. The fight over the subpoenas is playing out in a lawsuit filed last year by Planned Parenthood Great Plains, the abortion provider's affiliate for Kansas City, and Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, the affiliate for St. Louis.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

And we should give it to them sooner rather than later. The longer we wait the bigger their advantage gets.

They will drain the entire treasury. They will use the military to do it.

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

It's not the job of Illinois to protect an invading army. They shoukd be using any means necessary to repel them. Let them in and it's over. All our cities will be militarized and we will be shipped of to death camp while our property goes to magats.
