In today’s White House Briefing Room for Monday, February 9, Washington faces mounting pressure as lawmakers race toward a Department of Homeland Security funding deadline, with shutdown fears growing and immigration demands stalling negotiations on Capitol Hill.

Jon Decker reports on President Trump's responds to backlash over a viral social media post, refusing to apologize while Republicans openly break ranks. Democrats push sweeping immigration conditions tied to DHS funding as Senate leaders warn time is running out before lawmakers leave for the Munich Security Conference.

International tensions also dominate the Briefing. Greenland negotiations remain unresolved, with Denmark reaffirming sovereignty red lines even as the president reiterates U.S. national security interests. Meanwhile, U.S.–China relations face new strain after a Hong Kong court sentences media tycoon Jimmy Lai to 20 years, prompting renewed criticism from Western allies and drawing comments from President Trump ahead of a potential meeting with China’s leadership.

Decker wraps the episode with the president weighing in on Super Bowl Halftime Show, criticizing Bad Bunny's performance and calling for changes to the NFL’s kickoff rule, capping a wide-ranging news day spanning domestic politics, foreign policy, and culture.
