Roll Call reports:



Yes, there is a deal to re-open the parts of the government shutdown since Dec. 22. No, we don’t know when the State of the Union will happen. “The State of the Union is not planned,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said.

She reiterated what she said to President Donald Trump in her recent letters, that when the government is open she would discuss with him a mutually agreeable date for the address.

“What I said to the president is when the government is open we will discuss a mutually agreeable date and I’ll look forward to doing that and welcoming the president to the House of Representatives when we mutually agree on that date.”
