| | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🏥 Plastic surgeons reject gender procedures for minors. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons disavowed sex-change surgeries for children, citing low-quality evidence and unclear risk-benefit outcomes. HHS leaders praised the move, framing it as a shift toward caution as more medical groups reassess pediatric gender interventions once treated as settled science. | 🏛️ Trump signed a bill ending the partial government shutdown. The bill funds most agencies through September but only extends Department of Homeland Security funding through Feb. 13, setting up a new congressional fight. The House passed the compromise 217–214, with 21 Republicans opposing it. | ⚖️ Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify on Epstein. Facing near-certain contempt charges, the Clintons will appear for closed-door depositions on Feb. 26 and 27 to answer questions about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Several Democrats, including Reps. Maxwell Frost (FL) and Rashida Tlaib (MI), voted in committee to hold them in contempt and have pledged to ask tough questions. | 📊 New polls show strong support for Trump's deportation agenda. A Cygnal survey found Americans back deporting illegal aliens 61 percent to 34 percent, with 73 percent agreeing that entering the US without permission violates the law. Support drops sharply when voters perceive ICE is conducting "random" sweeps rather than targeting criminals. | | Behind closed doors, the Clintons were reportedly livid that their fellow Democrats were not able to bail them out of having to testify before Congress. Interestingly enough, it was younger, progressive Democrats who voted hold the Clintons in contempt. This signals the Clinton machine has drastically lost its influence. — Brandon |

| | | EDITOR'S NOTE | Thank you, Bruce Springsteen | Bruce Springsteen — a longtime Democrat favorite — just released a song about the Minneapolis ICE protests, turning Renee Good and Alex Pretti into martyrs while taking swings at Trump, Stephen Miller, and Kristi Noem. | He claims ICE is targeting "brown and black" Americans. Facts don't seem to matter here — including that the two ICE agents involved in the Pretti incident were both Hispanic. | In any case, the song is…not good. But it's a nice reminder not to outsource political thinking to celebrities — whether they're on our side or not. | | Submit your question here. Request topics to cover here. |
