Summary

The House returned on Wednesday and ended the longest shutdown in government history. House Republicans were joined by six democrats to fund the government through January 30th. Two Republicans voted against the bill. The final vote was 222-209. Earlier in the day, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released three emails from and to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that appear to indicate that President Donald Trump knew more about Epstein's activities than he had previously suggested. So for more on Epstein, Trump, and what Congress might do next, we spoke to Hailey Fuchs, a congressional reporter for Politico. And in headlines, Planned Parenthood struggles to keep clinics open after absorbing the cost of Medicaid patients who were cut off by the Trump administration's funding ban, the Make America Healthy Again movement summit takes place in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Mint ceases the production of pennies after more than 200 years.

1:01.2	After weeks in the fight for health care, House Dems walked away with no guarantee of a vote on

1:16.9	and learned that, wow, a lot of powerful people sure did have time for that guy. Democrats on the
1:22.7	House Oversight Committee released three emails from and to Epstein that appeared to indicate that President

1:34.6	on two excerpts from the bombshell email correspondence, including a conversation with convicted
1:39.4	sex trafficker Galane Maxwell. Epstein, again, writing in 2011 to Maxwell, quote, I want you to realize that
1:47.9	that dog that hasn't barked is Trump. And then Epstein refers to a victim that, quote, spent
1:53.6	hours at my house with him. In a separate email with author Michael Wolf in 2019, Epstein
