(CNN) For the umpteenth time, the New England Patriots march into the Super Bowl. So that means the Philadelphia Eagles are the nation's last hope. Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door . (You can also get "5 Things You Need to Know Today" delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up here .)

1. Government shutdown

The premise of a game of chicken is that in the end, someone always flinches. But here we are on Day 3 of the shutdown and neither side is. Instead the divisions are deepening. The Senate votes at noon on a bill that would reopen the government and fund it for three weeks, but Democrats aren't jazzed about it. That's because they still don't have assurances that a fix for DACA, or at least a big vote on immigration, will come out of it. Vice President Mike Pence has said there will be no immigration talks until the government reopens.

Today is really the first day the shutdown's effects will be felt, as hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers stay home from their jobs.

Over the weekend, President Trump took a hands-off approach to the crisis, preferring instead to speak through his favorite bullhorn: Twitter. He blamed the Democrats and said the Senate should just exercise the "nuclear option," as in: no more 60 votes to end a filibuster. His reelection campaign released an ad accusing Democrats of being "complicit in all murders" committed by undocumented immigrants.

So when this mess ends -- and it will end, right? -- who gets the blame? Going in to the shutdown, the conventional wisdom was the GOP, since it controls the White House and Congress. But a new CNN poll offers several red flags for the Dems : More Americans think avoiding a shutdown is more important than continuing DACA, it found. What's more, the Dems' advantage in the 2018 election is shrinking.

4. Turkey and Syria

A dangerous new front in the Syrian conflict may be opening up thanks to a key US ally: Turkey. The Turks hit US-backed Kurdish militia with airstrikes in northern Syria that killed at least eight people. Then, Turkish troops entered the area. This is sure to inflame tensions between the US and Turkey. The US supports and arms the Kurdish militias, because they help fight ISIS. But Turkey has long fought the groups because it doesn't want them to create a Kurdish state along its borders. Turkey also considers the militia as part of the PKK, an outlawed Kurdish group responsible for major terror attacks in Turkey as part of its bid for national ethnic autonomy. The European Union and United States have both named the PKK as a terrorist outfit.
