YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSnow is piling up by the foot across parts of the eastern United States today… but here in Washington, we’re mostly dusting off our boots.
Even so, the storm is having an impact — Congress canceled votes for the day, and federal offices opened on a delayed schedule.
Still, preparations for tomorrow night’s State of the Union address are moving ahead inside the Capitol.
At the White House, President Trump held one of his final public events before that speech — highlighting what he calls one of his early policy wins, the Laken Riley Act. We’ll bring you some of his remarks in just a moment.
Meanwhile, reaction continues to Friday’s Supreme Court decision striking down much of the President’s tariff authority. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will oppose any effort to extend the current tariffs — while reports suggest Republicans are split on how to respond.
That same divide is playing out over funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Talks between Republicans and Democrats remain stalled, and the White House has yet to offer a new proposal after last week’s plan was rejected.
And on the foreign policy front — questions over potential military strikes on Iran are fueling debate over a House War Powers resolution, already dividing lawmakers in both parties.
We’ll have all of it for you, coming up on Washington Today.
