So, let me get this straight. Trump is saying that @SpeakerPelosi should fly commercial into a WAR ZONE in Afghanistan? What an idiot! And guess what — the #SOTU address is still being postponed until the government reopens.https://t.co/34Vsw57f6P

Rep. Schiff on President Trump's postponement of Speaker Pelosi's trip:

"We're not going to allow to the president of the United States to tell the Congress it can't fulfill its oversight responsibilities … whether our government is open or closed. That work must go on." pic.twitter.com/fDLus3elc7
Is enough attention being paid to the fact that in his battle with @SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump not only grounded her military flight but revealed secret trip to war zone?

Score one for Pelosi and the Democrats for denying Trump the State of the Union platform to pound the “radical Left” and their Democratic enablers in Congress.
Score one for Trump for denying Pelosi and the other pro-war Democrats a platform to try and short-circuit his plans to reign in NATO and withdraw US combat troops from Syria and Afghanistan.
Now that they’ve thrown shade on one another it’s Pelosi’s move.
What will it be?
Don’t change this channel.
(This particular made-for-tv drama is at least watchable. Which has not been the case over the past two seasons.)
