| | | Good Tuesday morning, this is Jack Blanchard, wishing all my snow gear wasn’t still back in London. WINTER IS COMING: Get ready. The Capital Weather Gang is forecasting between three and six inches of snow in the Beltway area today, with the main flurries starting to accumulate mid-to-late afternoon. “Some schools may … consider an early dismissal,” the report states. OPM is ordering federal employees to leave work no later than 2 p.m. Let off early? Goodness knows what President Musk will make of that. And that’s just the start: “Closings are likely to be more widespread Wednesday,” the gang adds, “since the heaviest snow, lowest temperatures and worst road conditions are expected Tuesday night.” Rest assured, your hardy Playbook team will battle on regardless.
|  | DRIVING THE DAY | | | 
President Donald Trump speaks with reporters as he signs executive orders in the Oval Office at the White House, Feb. 10, 2025, in Washington. | Alex Brandon/AP | COURT IN THE ACT: Donald Trump’s stunning disregard for almost every legal norm is hitting crisis point this week as his government suffers multiple defeats in courts across the land. On Monday alone, five different judges around the U.S. issued temporary blocks on five different Trump-ordered executive actions, per a message last night from POLITICO legal eagle Kyle Cheney. Never before has a new president clashed with the courts on such a scale. By the numbers: This week’s court orders covered Trump’s policies on birthright citizenship (via a New Hampshire courthouse) … NIH funding cuts (in Massachusetts) … the federal funding freeze (in Rhode Island) … the “fork in the road” resignation program for federal employees (also in Massachusetts) … and the firing of the government’s ethics watchdog (in D.C.). All five policies have been partially or entirely put on ice — for now. And there’s more: Kyle reckons Trump is likely to lose a sixth case, on the deletion of data from the CDC and FDA websites, in a D.C. courthouse as soon as this morning. America holds its breath: The big question under discussion everywhere — given the vocal pushback against these judges from Trump and his allies — is what happens if this administration chooses to outright defy a court order. We got our first flavor yesterday when federal judge John McConnell Jr. said the White House had failed to comply with his order to end the federal funding freeze, per NYT’s Mattathias Schwartz. The administration quickly appealed his ruling. Watch this space: McConnell chose not to raise the stakes further by immediately finding government officials in contempt — instead merely reminding them they must comply with the law. But the situation “could evolve quickly into a high-stakes showdown between the executive and judicial branches,” the Times notes. Warnings pile up: With federal funds apparently still being withheld by multiple agencies despite court rulings, constitutional and legal experts are now issuing stark warnings that the country is careening toward a constitutional crisis. (See new reporting from ProPublica, the NYT, WaPo, CNN and many more.) Trump’s allies are pushing back, insisting the judges are intruding on valid presidential authority. Crucially, despite warning shots fired by VP JD Vance, Elon Musk and others, there’s no sign yet of an outright government strategy to disregard the courts, WaPo’s Justin Jouvenal notes. But things are moving very fast indeed. More to come: The cases are stacking up everywhere. USAID employees claimed in court yesterday the administration has failed to comply with a judge’s order blocking admin leave for thousands of civil servants, per NBC’s Dareh Gregorian. … Universities have filed a second, broader lawsuit against the NIH funding cuts. … Public Citizen claims the entire foreign aid freeze is illegal, POLITICO’s Carmen Paun reports. … Labor unions filed a new challenge to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s grab for sensitive government data, per AP’s Collin Binkley. … And refugee resettlement groups have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Trump’s block on asylum admissions, per NYT’s Hamed Aleaziz. NOT REMOTELY COWED: But far from backing down in the face of overwhelming judicial pushback, Trump and his team continue to set fire to the most basic rule-of-law norms. Just check out this list of government actions — again, from Monday alone.
- The president signed a new executive order halting enforcement of the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which blocks American companies from offering bribes to foreign governments, per FT’s Steff Chávez. (“It’s going to mean a lot more business for America,” he said.)
- The Justice Department moved to end the federal bribery case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Fox News’ Brooke Singman and colleagues scooped. Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove’s directive to the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office “raises urgent questions about the administration of justice during Mr. Trump’s second term and the independence of federal prosecutors,” NYT’s William Rashbaum and colleagues report.
- Trump pardoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who went to prison for eight years for trying to sell off a Senate seat, as Axios’ Alex Isenstadt scooped.
- Trump dismissed David Huitema as head of the Office of Government Ethics, even though he’d only recently begun his five-year term, CNN’s Fredreka Schouten reports. VA Secretary Doug Collins was tapped as interim head of the office — another instance of replacing an independent watchdog with a loyalist.
- Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, head of the whistleblower-protecting Office of Special Counsel — but a federal judge ordered Dellinger (who quickly filed suit) temporarily reinstated, per the AP.
And there’s more: Law enforcement officials say Attorney General Pam Bondi’s aggressive tone signals an unprecedented politicization of the Justice Department, per NYT’s Devlin Barrett. Throw in the expected confirmation any day now of Trump’s ultra-loyalist FBI chief Kash Patel, and it adds up to “a stop-me-if-you-dare defiance” by a president “determined to break constraints once and for all, in a historically unprecedented flex of executive power,” AP’s Eric Tucker and colleagues write. AND THE DESTRUCTION CONTINUES: The White House took further steps to break up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau yesterday, with acting CFPB head Russell Vought telling all contractors to stop working along with full-time staff, WaPo’s Tony Romm reports. Over at the Labor Department, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration fears it’s next in line for the Trump sledgehammer, the New Yorker’s Eyal Press writes. The best and brightest: One of Musk's DOGE lieutenants, Steve Davis, was famous at Twitter for moving quickly to make major cuts, WSJ’s Ken Thomas, Brian Schwartz and Becky Peterson report. Another, Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old who goes by “Big Balls” on the internet, now occupies top roles at the State Department and DHS, worrying some U.S. officials, WaPo’s Faiz Siddiqui and colleagues scooped. And State’s Darren Beattie “has repeatedly voiced support for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash,’” NOTUS’ Haley Byrd Wilt reports. (“When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control,” he wrote in one instance. “Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”) Dept. of unintended consequences I: The USAID IG warned yesterday that Musk’s foreign aid cuts have scuppered internal oversight — making it more likely that U.S. money could end up in the hands of terrorist groups, per CNN. Dept. of unintended consequences II: The prospect of a government funding shutdown was meant to be a handy bargaining chip for Dems to gain some leverage against the all-powerful GOP. But in her latest “Corridors” column, POLITICO’s Rachael Bade suggests that in the revolutionary world of DOGE, a shutdown could actually play into Trump and Musk’s hands. “The White House Office of Management and Budget exercises huge influence in determining what activities are essential [during a shutdown] … and which aren’t,” she writes. “A DOGE shutdown … could hand carte blanche to Musk, Vought & Co. to remake the federal government.” On the other hand: Having started with the low-hanging fruit of USAID and the CFPB, Musk’s slash-and-burn approach could get politically trickier as the administration takes on HHS, the Pentagon and the Education Department, POLITICO’s Megan Messerly, Holly Otterbein and Dasha Burns report this morning.
| | | | A message from the Coalition for Medicare Choices: Protect Medicare Advantage: 34 million seniors are counting on it.
Over half of America's seniors choose Medicare Advantage because it provides them better care at lower costs than fee-for-service Medicare. With their coverage and care on the line, seniors are watching closely to see whether policymakers keep the bipartisan promise to protect Medicare Advantage by ensuring this vital part of Medicare is adequately funded.

The president will host King Abdullah II and his son, Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah, for talks at 11:30 a.m., with Trump’s mind-bending proposal to relocate 1.8 million Gazans to neighboring countries top of everyone’s minds. Sadly there’s no joint press conference planned, meaning journos will be restricted to shouting questions at the start and end of the summit. The context: King Abdullah is the first Arab leader to visit the White House since Trump returned to power, and remains one of America’s closest allies in the region. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be looking forward to today’s summit. Trump will press him to agree to take in hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees as part of his unlikely masterplan to “take over” Gaza and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Hmmm: In truth, most Arab leaders just want this idea to go away. “Their plan is to stall for time,” one Middle East expert told Playbook last night, having just returned from the region. “They will try to slow things down and just hope the energy goes out of all this.” The Atlantic Council’s Ahmad Sharawi has a useful explainer on why Jordan wants no part in any relocation. Indeed: It’s almost a year to the day since King Abdullah was last at the White House, when he spelled out his own vision very clearly. “An independent, sovereign and viable Palestinian state … living side by side with Israel,” he said. “This is the only solution that will guarantee peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis.” Nope: Trump has other ideas. In the second part of his Super Bowl interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier — aired last night — Trump essentially ruled out a two-state solution, saying Palestinians would not be allowed to return to their former homeland under his plan. “No they wouldn't," he said. “I’m talking about building a permanent place for them.” Trump’s words directly contradict a White House attempt last week to partially walk back the president’s original proposal. “The president has made it clear they need to be temporarily relocated out of Gaza,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said when pressed on this exact point at the time. And there's more: Asked last night if he might even withhold U.S. aid for Jordan and Egypt if they refuse to cooperate with his proposals, the president replied: “Yep, maybe. Sure, why not? If they don’t agree, I would conceivably withhold aid, yeah.” You can see why they’re not having a presser. Now about that cease-fire: Trump’s surprising decision to assert himself squarely into the intensely messy world of Middle East politics doesn’t end there. Last night, the president was also threatening to blow up the fragile peace deal between Israel and Hamas which he himself helped force through. “As far as I’m concerned, if all the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 p.m., I would say cancel it, and all bets are off, and let all hell break out,” Trump told reporters last night. He declined to say what form this punishment would take. WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE: In what is proving to be a busy week of aggro-diplomacy, Trump has also been busy slapping allies with trade tariffs — and it’s possible the next tranche could come as soon as today. The president said at the weekend his shiny new package of reciprocal tariffs would be unveiled on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, with trading partners in Europe and Asia braced for further pain. As POLITICO’s Jordyn Dahl and colleagues report, European carmakers in particular are fearing the worst. White House policy supremo Stephen Miller told Fox News on Sunday they should be hit with tariffs of 30 percent. Speaking of trade: The Senate Finance Committee will vote at 11:30 a.m. on Jamieson Greer’s nomination as U.S. trade representative. ON THE HILL NOMINATIONS WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard is heading for confirmation as director of national intelligence, likely sometime tonight or early tomorrow, after winning a 52-46 party-line procedural vote, per POLITICO’s Amy Mackinnon. The fact that VP Vance — the man with the tie-breaking vote — is away in Europe tells you all you need to know about GOP confidence. Possible swing voters Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) both announced their support last night. Also in good shape: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS secretary, after Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told CNN’s Manu Raju she’ll vote yes, having extracted a (thin-sounding) commitment from Kennedy to “re-examine” the NIH research funding cuts. RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES: Speaker Mike Johnson has started to pitch a different blueprint for the party’s big reconciliation bill, raising the minimum level of spending cuts to $1.25 trillion to $1.5 trillion to pay for tax cuts, POLITICO’s Rachael Bade and Meredith Lee Hill scooped. Johnson may also lower the maximum amount by which the bill can expand the deficit, as he tries to get House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) and hard-liners on board with a new plan. Johnson previously told reporters there’s “no daylight” between him and Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on reconciliation. But Graham is charging ahead with his bill, as senators have grown impatient with the House: “I’m not a wait-around-forever kind of guy,” Graham said last night, per Semafor’s Burgess Everett. The Freedom Caucus put out its own budget resolution (favoring a two-step process like Graham), per the Washington Examiner’s Rachel Schilke. N.B.: House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said including the debt ceiling in reconciliation is “back on,” per Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman. Watch for more details from Johnson and House GOP leadership at their 10 a.m. presser after a conference meeting. FED UP: Fed chair Jerome Powell is on the Hill today for his semiannual appearance before the Senate Finance Committee — and his first since Trump returned to the White House. Watch like a pro: These sessions are “always a big event for markets, though Powell is studiously good at not making news when he doesn’t want to,” POLITICO’s economics correspondent, Victoria Guida, messages to say. “What I’m curious about is what lawmakers will be asking him about — will they be the normal questions about the path of the economy, interest rates and financial regulation? Or will there be a lot of Trump-related questions, like the extent to which the Fed is required to abide by executive orders?” SHOCKING MOMENT ON THE HOUSE FLOOR: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) last night accused four men, including her ex-fiance, of heinous sexual crimes against her and other women and girls, including raping, drugging and illicitly filming them, as The Daily Beast’s Juliegrace Brufke first reported. “I and all of your victims can watch you rot into eternity,” she said. She also accused South Carolina AG Alan Wilson, a potential gubernatorial rival, of failing to investigate. Mace didn’t provide evidence or answer questions, and her ex-fiance and Wilson both denied her allegations afterward. It was “a stunningly graphic speech on the House floor that had little precedent,” including naming and showing the men she accused, NYT’s Annie Karni writes. SCARY MOMENT ON THE HOUSE FLOOR: Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) seemingly froze up mid-speech and stopped speaking for nearly half a minute yesterday. His office later said it was “likely an adverse reaction to a new medication,” per CT Mirror’s Lisa Hagen.

| | | BEYOND THE BELTWAY JUST VANCE: At the big AI summit in Paris, JD Vance today will have a working lunch with French President Emmanuel Macron to talk about wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, AP’s Sylvie Corbet, Aamer Madhani and Thomas Adamson report. But it was a bit of a letdown in French circles that Musk isn’t attending, POLITICO’s Océane Herrero reports. Macron, who’s been friendly with Musk for years, has hoped to woo major investments in France. But “the two men’s relationship has deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.” IMMIGRATION FILES: Deportation flights to Venezuela began again yesterday after the Trump administration got President Nicolás Maduro to accept them, NYT’s Julie Turkewitz reports. And as Trump seeks to crack down more on immigration, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to deputize IRS and other law enforcement officials to join in, WSJ’s Tarini Parti and Richard Rubin scooped. UKRAINE TEA LEAVES: Special envoy Keith Kellogg is working on different options for ending the war in Ukraine which he’ll deliver to Trump, Semafor’s Mathias Hammer reports.

FROM THE PENTAGON: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a court filing that all transgender people have now been barred from joining the military, per Reuters’ Idrees Ali and Phil Stewart. He also switched Fort Liberty’s name back to Fort Bragg — but, in an unexpected compromise, said the namesake is now World War II Pfc. Roland Bragg, not Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, per The News & Observer’s Avi Bajpai. ARTS NEWS: Trump announced that Ric Grenell will take over the Kennedy Center as interim executive director. (Yes, really.) 2026 WATCH: NRSC Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is eyeing Georgia, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio as the top Senate races this cycle, POLITICO’s Ally Mutnick reports in Score. He expects defending the Maine and North Carolina seats alone will cost north of $1 billion. Ally also notes some retirement speculation around Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who didn’t raise a ton last quarter. Meanwhile, Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) told people at a retreat this weekend that he plans to run for Senate, as many Republicans expect Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to retire, CBS’ Jennifer Jacobs and Alan He report. WHAT OLIVER STONE IS READING: The FBI’s records review has turned up 2,400 files on the assassination of John F. Kennedy that the JFK Assassination Records Review Board never received, Axios’ Marc Caputo scooped. CRAZY STORY: SCOTUSblog publisher and veteran Supreme Court lawyer Tom Goldstein was arrested again and detained without bail yesterday in his criminal tax evasion case after prosecutors accused him of secretly getting $8 million last week through cryptocurrency wallets, Law360’s Phillip Bantz and Ali Sullivan report. Goldstein denied having the accounts. SPORTS BLINK: Former Ohio State University head football coach Jim Tressel is Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s surprise pick for the new lieutenant governor, per The Columbus Dispatch’s Jessie Balmert.
