Quick Glance: Surprise Appearance by Scarlett Johansson Steals the Show
  • The opening of this week's Saturday Night Live with President Joe Biden's State of the Union address and the Republican response from Senator Katie Britt of Alabama was predictable.

  • Scarlett Johansson as Britt delivers a shockingly violent monologue about a fictional sex trafficking incident before pitching for Trump and transitioning between theater kid, Home Shopping Network pitchwoman, seductive temptress, and the villainess from Get Out.

  • Josh Brolin takes the stage for the third time as host. His performance is a bit scattered, but his charisma makes it work. In one sketch, a married couple (Brolin and Heidi Gardner) with a role-play fetish try to outwit armed bank robbers.

  • Another sketch features a support group for people pleasers falling into toxic patterns. Ariana Grande appears as a desperate people pleaser. The episode had some bright spots, with Brolin's energy and Johansson's perfect appearance.

Quick Glance: Democratic Initiative for Ukraine Aid Vote
  • House Democrats have officially launched their efforts to compel a vote on Ukraine aid to bring the legislation to the floor despite resistance from Republican leadership.

  • Led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), the Democrats' request for approval requires 218 signatures to consider a Senate-approved foreign aid package providing $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

  • The success rate of requests for approval is extremely low, and it is uncertain whether Democrats will obtain the 218 signatures they seek.

  • Some liberal Democrats are already hesitant about providing more military aid to Israel, while moderate Republicans criticize the Democrats' strategy of insisting on the Senate's version of the foreign aid package.
