In the News:
Pelosi, as is her right as speaker of the house, delays the State of the Union address by Trump. The SOTU speech was primarily being written by WH racist, Stephen Miller, and was supposed to be out the horrible dangers at the border, and blaming the Dems for those horrors.
GOPer, Jim Jordan, flew into a rag about the "unpresidented" cancelling of the SOTU address.
But, GOPer, former house speaker John Boehner, cancelled Obama's SOTU address on the grounds that the "security" efforts were too much for the GOP to bare.
According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Trump speechwriter Stephen Miller had been planning to blame Democrats for the shutdown as a centerpiece of the annual speech. "My colleague @kaitlancollins adds some context: Stephen Miller and other WH speechwriters have been working on the SOTU address for weeks. An administration official said they were prepared to craft it around the government shutdown, targeting Democrats, if it was still closed."

“The Democrats won’t negotiate with the president,” said Jim Jordan, his voice rising. “He asked them to come talk yesterday. They said no. What did we just [learn]? That the Speaker of the House is thinking about not inviting the Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, to come and deliver the State of the Union address.”
"In 2011, then-President Barack Obama agreed to delay a particular handle to Congress on the request of then-House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), after Boehner argued that the last-minute occasion required extra time for arranging safety."
