Good morning from Washington on the first full week of President Trump's second year in office, and what looks like the third full day of the Democrat-birthed government "shutdown." Genevieve Wood comments on the politics of the situation, while Kelsey Harkness visits the Women's March held Saturday on public land despite it all.
