The latest shutdown threat may have been averted but some lawmakers are already worried about the next government funding deadline. While leaders on both sides of the aisle were able to come to agreement earlier this month on a topline for the 12 annual government funding bills for fiscal year 2024, spending cardinals say they have yet to learn how the dollars will be divided among the measures as spending talks continue. |

Vice President Harris has cemented herself as the Biden administration's foremost messenger on abortion rights, the issue that the White House hopes will define the 2024 election cycle. After an uneven first 18 months in office, where Harris faced criticism over her ability to handle complex and intractable matters including migration and voting rights, the vice president has planted her flag in the fight over reproductive rights. |

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) says Hispanic voters have the same concerns as the general population, with added focus on conditions in Central and South America. "[Hispanics] generally care about the same thing as everybody else. But they also do care about democracy and freedom in Latin America. So while they care about jobs, they care about education, they care about law enforcement, they also care about that," Scott told The Hill. |

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former President Trump easily won the Iowa caucuses last week and is leading nearly every New Hampshire poll gearing up to Tuesday's primary, but in an arena filled with fired-up loyalists in the Granite State on Saturday, all he wanted to discuss was his GOP rival, Nikki Haley. "Nikki Haley, I know well. Sadly, she's made an unholy alliance with the RHINOS, the never-Trumpers … the globalists, the radical left communists," Trump said, slamming the former U.N. ambassador while he was surrounded by roughly 5,000 supporters who stood outside in 14-degree weather to see him. |

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is stepping up her attacks on former President Trump as she faces the most critical moment of her campaign in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

Former President Trump, the current GOP frontrunner, pushed back on claims of mental missteps during his Saturday rally in New Hampshire, after his main rival in the state, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, raised concerns about his mental fitness. Trump deflected the criticism that arose after he appeared to mix up Haley and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday while talking about Jan. 6, stating his reliance on sarcasm during speeches and emphasizing that he aced a cognitive test that he claimed he took "a few months ago." |

| Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) pushed back on reports that former President Trump mixed up his GOP presidential primary rival Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to an NBC News report. "The reality is Nikki Haley is relying on Democrats, just like Nancy Pelosi, to try to have a desperate showing," Stefanik said. |

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's (D) ally, who served as special counsel in the first impeachment of former President Trump, said that it would be a "wise thing" for prosecutor Nathan Wade to step aside in the Georgia election interference case considering the allegations that Willis hired him while they had a romantic affair. |

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said former President Trump is using his legal woes to benefit his reelection campaign, including making an appearance at author E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial this week. "I mean, he has melded his legal cases and his political campaign so they are indistinguishable," she told CNN's King Charles co-hosts Gayle King and Charles Barkley. "He fundraises all the legal cases." |

| OPINION | "The people of Iowa pick corn, the people of New Hampshire pick presidents," said then–Gov. John Sununu in 1988. The New Hampshire primary is on Tuesday, but it sure seems like the picking has already been done. Last week, Donald Trump, the once and (likely) future Republican presidential nominee, cruised to a commanding victory in the Iowa caucuses. |

OPINION | Whenever government intervention in the private sector is ineffective — and especially when it is counterproductive — commentators frequently express surprise and excuse the consequences as unintentional or unanticipated. Do rent controls shrink the supply of apartments, degrade housing as landlords skimp on amenities and maintenance expenses and cause them to charge extra for keys and parking spaces? |
