Hour 1 - Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Missouri has pulled $500 million in state pension funds managed by New York-based financial institution BlackRock over the company's environmental and social priorities. First lady Jill Biden tore into White House staffers after they failed to cut off President Biden's second solo press conference in January — when her husband kept taking questions even as then-press secretary Jen Psaki signaled to the president to wrap it up. President Biden was at a pro-abortion rally. He ended his speech by saying, "God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. Thank you. I'm sorry... I was apologizing for my back." White House reporters Phil Wegmann and Niels Lesniewski asked for specifics during Tuesday's briefing about President Biden's pledge to codify abortion rights back into federal law.
The weather outside might not be so frightful, but Congress' inability to do anything on time sure does suck. Here we are in December, and, as usual, there is a mess of legislative business to attend to. That makes the most wonderful time of the year, at least on Capitol Hill, not so wonderful. It also begs the question: Is working on Capitol Hill worth it? As the parties work furiously to recruit stars to run for the House and Senate, what's their selling point? Here to discuss on Political Theater are CQ Roll Call's own Niels Lesniewski and Bridget Bowman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump pushed Kirstjen Nielsen out of her role as DHS secretary over the weekend. While she was unspeakably cruel in her pursuit of Trump's agenda, she wasn't willing to go as far as Trump wanted. Which should scare the hell out of us when the NEXT DHS Secretary is appointed. Whoever it is will be far more cruel than her. Democrats are fighting to get Trump's tax returns. The Trump team is pushing back and saying that this will "be the hill that they die on." Of all the issues out there to fight for, this is the hill that they'll die on? Says a lot about the Republican party.
