President's Day is here, and if you're looking to find out if banks are open or closed, look no further.

Most banks will be closed on Presidents' Day. According to banks.org, Presidents' Day is one of ten holidays that the Federal Reserve observes each year. Many banks and credit unions follow the Federal Reserve bank by shutting down as well.


National and regional banks will be closed today, including all major financial service corporations and investment banks and lenders, like Capital One, PNC, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, CitiBank, Chase, and Barclays, reports banks.org. According to USA Today, TD Bank will be open on Presidents' Day.

Even though a teller will likely not be available at your local bank, you should still have access to ATMs. You also have the ability to deposit checks through mobile apps. Bills paid today will likely not be effective. Transactions will be posted, instead, on Tuesday, February 20th.

Woman Says What We're All Thinking About Trump Deploying ICE To Airports In Blistering Interview

A woman interviewed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has gone viral for her response to reporters who asked for her thoughts about President Donald Trump's announcement that he would deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.

Stephen Miller Caught On Camera Letting Out Heavy Sigh As Trump Tries To Justify Iran War

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was caught on camera letting out a heavy sigh as President Donald Trump spoke at a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable in Tennessee about his ever-changing justifications for going to war with Iran.

A WSMV 4 Nashville broadcast showed Miller briefly turning his head and letting out a sigh as Trump described Iran’s missile capabilities as “growing so fast” that the U.S. needed to act before it became “virtually impossible to stop them.” Miller then composed himself and faced forward again toward the president, who was seated at center stage.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's administration is coming under fire again over White nationalist White House advisor Stephen Miller's immigration guidance.

Campaigning on a promise to deport violent criminals, the Trump administration has instead become the violent (often masked) aggressors that Americans fear. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees have repeatedly targeted individuals without warrants or just cause based solely on racial profiling, denied people's constitutional rights, and killed people in their detention centers and on the streets with impunity.
