Hey, good morning. I'm playbook co-author Eugene Daniels. It's Friday, March 1st. Here is what's striving

the day. First and foremost, ladies and gentlemen build monuments in their honor, parties in the streets.

The House and the Senate have sent the government shutdown patch to Biden's desk.

Congress now has an extra week to pass six of the dozen government spending bills.

On Thursday, the Senate approved a stopgop funding bill,

keeping us from a government shutdown on Saturday and buying them more time to figure out that

half dozen bills. Now they have until March 8th to kind of get rid of that initial six bill

bundle, which leaders struck a deal on earlier this

week. So, you know, that's looking promising. But they are still trying to figure out an agreement

on the rest of the bills. Remember, there's this two-tier funding system that was created

by House Speaker Mike Johnson last year. That second charge includes the military, some of the

biggest domestic programs. That deadline is March 3rd, 2nd, and given the enormity of those

issues and the differences between the parties in those issues, we might be in for a long one.

Also, today in Florida, U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon is going to consider moving the May 20th trial date for former President Donald Trump's federal classified

documents case. They have a court conference that the former president plans to attend in person.

On Thursday, the special counsel, Jack Smith, proposed a new trial date of July 8th.

Trump's team is trying to kick the can much further down the road, first of all, after the

24 election, but they say they would be okay with an August

12th alternative if Canon is not open to that post-2020 election date. It's been a really strange

week for President Trump and his legal woes, and so joining me now to discuss all of that

is Politico's legal editor, James Ramoser. James, how are you? Thank you for joining us this morning. Hey, Eugene. How are you doing? I'm great. I'm good. I'm good. Busy time for you and your team, so I know you're not sleeping that well. So I'll try to get you out of here pretty quickly. You know, President Trump has kind of had a mixed week legally.
