Maryland Governor Wes Moore dismissed President Trump's comment that he was "not worthy" to attend a White House dinner, stating he would "bow down to no one," according to CBS News. The Department of Homeland Security is also facing a potential shutdown as lawmakers left Washington without a deal, ABC News reported. Additionally, the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, continues after she was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, as per ABC News.
Governor Moore's remarks came in response to President Trump's exclusion of him from an annual White House dinner for governors. Moore told CBS News that the president "does not determine my worthiness." He further stated, "I will work with anyone. But I will bow down to no one. And I think the president has a problem with that." The governor's comments were made during a town hall that aired Sunday evening, according to CBS News. The meeting and dinner were scheduled as part of the National Governors Association's annual conference.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security is likely to run out of funding at the end of Friday, as lawmakers failed to reach an agreement, ABC News reported. Senate Democrats unanimously blocked a DHS spending bill, citing concerns about reform at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An attempt by Republican Senator Katie Britt to extend funding for two weeks also failed. The Senate has no further votes scheduled for this week, according to ABC News.
In other news, the search for Nancy Guthrie is intensifying. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask near her home, appearing to tamper with a security camera, ABC News reported. FBI Director Kash Patel released a surveillance photo on February 10, 2026, showing a potential subject in the investigation.
In other developments, Puerto Rico's Republican governor signed a bill recognizing unborn babies as human beings, according to Fox News. The amendment, in Senate Bill 923, altered an article within Puerto Rico's Penal Code that defines murder. Governor Jenniffer González stated the measure "aims to maintain consistency between civil and criminal provisions by recognizing the unborn child as a human being."
Finally, Prince William's Earthshot Prize is facing scrutiny after its founding partner was linked to Jeffrey Epstein in recently released Department of Justice files, according to Fox News.
