1. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked President Trump to reschedule the State of the Union address or deliver it in writing, citing security concerns from the government shutdown.

The president’s State of the Union address is one of the highest-stakes events for federal law enforcement each year, with the leadership of all three branches of government gathering in one place. The Secret Service, which leads security, has been affected by the shutdown.

The speech is scheduled for Jan. 29, and the invitation to deliver the address is traditionally at the speaker’s discretion. Above, Ms. Pelosi on Capitol Hill today.
