Neal Freiman

citizen, Renee Good, was killed by an ICE officer several weeks ago, which sparked widespread protests in Minneapolis against ICE agents throughout January.

Videos from the scene, which spread all over social media, contradicted the government's initial claims that Preti was a domestic terrorist, and several Republican lawmakers called for an investigation into the shooting.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, President Trump declined to say the officer did the right thing, as top officials claimed, and said they're, quote, reviewing everything.

Meanwhile, this has greatly increased the odds of a government shutdown.

Last week, the House passed bipartisan bills that would fund most of the government past the deadline, and it was expected to get through the Senate this week, avoiding a shutdown.

But after the shooting, a number of Democratic senators said they wouldn't vote for a funding package that includes money for the Department of Homeland Security, which the House versions do.

Republicans need seven Democratic votes to pass the funding legislation, and it looks like those will be impossible to come by after what happened in Minneapolis.

On Kalshi, the odds of a partial shutdown went from 11 percent before Saturday to 76 percent last night.

It's going to be a tense week of deliberations to keep the government running past Friday, but that's looking unlikely as of now.

If Toby and I sound a bit different this morning, it's because we're recording the podcast in our homes, our first ever bedroom pod.

That's, of course, due to yesterday's winter storm, which closed our office today and probably changed up your routine, too.

Weather forecasters said it was going to be the big one and it delivered.

Winter storm Fern unleashed heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the southern Rockies to New England, impacting more than 200 million people.

As of this morning, over 820,000 homes and businesses were without power, mostly in the south, as ice weighed down power lines.

Travel ground to a halt, literally.

Airlines canceled more than 11,000 U.S.

flights for Sunday, the most for a single day since the start of the pandemic.

At Reagan in D.C., all flights were axed on Sunday, nearly 90% at New York's LaGuardia, and close to half at Atlanta-Hartsfield-Jackson, the world's busiest airport.

And if you were stranded over the weekend, it might take a couple days to get back home because already more than 3,000 flights have been canceled for Monday.

As for snow totals, at least 17 states got more than one foot.
