Earlier were rumblings of a January 29th date from the White House

Fox News is reporting that the State of the Union is still up in the air and that Trump believes it is up to Pelosi.

It is hard to imagine a State of the Union speech with the government mired in an endless loop with the "wall" at the center of that loop...."the state of the Union is the government is a partial shutdown....". That is not the kind of thing that instills a lot of confidence and pride with politicians shamed.

US stocks are back lower after a brief rally stalled.

  • The Dow is down -1.13%
  • The S&P is down -1.25%
  • The Nasdaq is down -1.44%

UPDATE: Now Fox is saying "White House planning to proceed with State of the Union, but details up in the air after Pelosi threat"....
