Shutdown Showdown
 
Not content with shutting down the government, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi today shut down the State of the Union address as well. 
 
After President Trump informed the speaker that he was accepting her invitation to deliver the address this coming Tuesday, Pelosi officially rescinded the invitation. 
 
In a letter, Pelosi insisted that the House "will not consider . . . authorizing the President's State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened."
