  • The administration continues to roll out Trump’s sweeping immigration plans, but at least one major component hit a legal roadblock today. A federal district judge temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, which its opponents say is constitutional.
  • Trump discussed tariffs, inflation and other hot-button issues in virtual remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He said he would push NATO to increase defense spending and Saudi Arabia to invest more money in the United States.
  • The Senate voted to confirm John Ratcliffe’s nomination to be CIA director. Ratcliffe is a former congressman from Texas who was the director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term. Vice President JD Vance swore Ratcliffe in this afternoon.
