Presented by Electronic Payments Coalition. Community banks and credit unions know the truth.

The Durban Marshall credit card bill's so-called exemptions do not work, and the radical Durbin Marshall

price controls would hurt Main Street. After similar mandates were put on your debit card, fraud

attempts soared 17-fold, and research shows the mandates devastate credit access for working families.

That's why community banks and credit unions in all 50 states are opposed.

Good morning, I'm Anna Palmer.

And I'm Jake Sherman.

And welcome to The Daily Punch, brought to you by Punchable News.

It's Wednesday, February 4th, 2026.

Let's get in the mix here.

Are your Washington headlines of the day?

Number one, what's next when it comes to finding a pathway forward on DHS funding?

Number two, Apex big first test of the 2026 midterms and number three, the scent is on the hot seat. All right, Jake, it is good to be back

here with you. Yeah, welcome back. Work travel was hoping I was going to be able to smell the lilacs.

It was going to be summer here in D.C. The snow was melted. No. No. No, it sucks.

Not what is happening. This snow is not going to be melted until like April, I feel like. And,

you know, but I did wake up this morning and I saw before I went yesterday during the day,

I think the mayor said we could get another inch of snow or a half of inch of snow overnight. And it does

not appear from my cursory look outside that we got any snow overnight, which is a good development

because, you know, I think right now it's, or yesterday morning at least, it was a balmy 30 degrees,

which is a better, a better situation than it has been. And right now it's 26th.

Okay, I'll take it, I guess.
