When I recapped the controversy about Trump's "Call of Duty" video on CNN International, anchor Becky Anderson, from her desk in Abu Dhabi, said: "We've had 1,072 drone attacks here; eight cruise missile attacks; and 196 ballistic missile attacks here. So I can tell you it's not a video game."

Today? Not so much.

Top of the NYTimes right now. Good. Genuinely: Good for the New York Times.

Trump's Minnesota Siege Begins to Break As federal immigration agents fanned out across Minnesota, an underground network of neighbors became a lifeline for families too terrified to step past their own front doors.

"For one family living in an apartment in Minneapolis, Monday was the first time they had walked outside since December 4th. That is eighty-three days...
In a group chat Monday afternoon, people were crowdsourcing diapers and supplies for a newborn. The baby’s mother had been taken."

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%).
But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

THEY GOT IT FROM THEIR MAMA!

DHS suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as shutdown continues The Department of Homeland Security is temporarily halting both programs as part of several emergency measures starting early Sunday.

It's unclear how making the most prepared and screened travelers spend more time in screening saves staff time. (Or even helps Noem convince the public that she's not part of the problem.)

Are the WNBA’s 9-Figure Losses What They Seem? The WNBA claims giving players 27% of revenue would cause enormous losses. The reality is murkier.

Nice article on why the WNBA's claims of losses don't add up!
