GB News: The stats that PROVE Nigel Farage is RIGHT: ‘Treasury got their sums wrong' on farmers’ tax
Farmers protested in central London against Chancellor Reeves' proposed inheritance tax changes, claiming they threaten many farms. The government insists most farms won't be affected, but the National Farming Union and others argue that two-thirds of farms exceed the new £1 million threshold.
Critics, including Nigel Farage, highlight discrepancies in the Treasury's analysis, suggesting that it overlooks many farms' financial realities. They argue that the new tax rules will disproportionately impact family-run farms, which often operate on modest incomes despite high asset values.
Fox News: Trump lawyers demand Bragg case be 'immediately dismissed,' say election 'supersedes' political 'motivations'
Trump's lawyers have requested the immediate dismissal of the New York case against him, arguing that the will of the American people, as expressed in the 2024 election, should take precedence over the prosecution's actions. They claim the case is politically motivated and violates presidential immunity.
The defense is seeking a stay on all deadlines while they prepare a motion to dismiss, asserting that the ongoing case could destabilize government operations. Prosecutors have indicated they will oppose the dismissal but are open to hearing the defense's arguments.
Fox News: Sprint to confirm Trump nominees kicks off in January
In January, the Senate will focus on confirming President-elect Donald Trump's nominees as quickly as possible. Unlike in 2016, Trump is selecting loyalists aligned with his movement, which may streamline the confirmation process despite expected Democratic pushback.
Senate Republicans, holding a majority, aim to expedite confirmations but face potential dissent from some members. The outcome will reveal the dynamics of the Senate under Trump and whether any Republicans will oppose his nominees.
Human Events: HUMAN EVENTS: Confirm them all
President-elect Donald Trump has rapidly announced his cabinet nominees for a second term, emphasizing loyalty to his agenda. His choices have drawn criticism from both Democrats and some Republicans, particularly regarding Matt Gaetz's nomination for Attorney General, which faces skepticism in the Senate.
Critics argue that Trump's nominees lack qualifications and pose a threat to the Washington establishment, fearing they may effectively serve the American people. The opposition appears to be rooted in concerns over losing control and influence, rather than genuine worries about the nominees' capabilities.
Breitbart: Report: All Trump Nominees on 'Solid Political Ground' for Confirmation
Jeff Greenfield argues that President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees are likely to be confirmed by the Senate, countering mainstream media claims of their unlikelihood. He cites historical precedents, Trump's influence over Republican legislators, and a favorable Senate majority as key reasons for his prediction.
Greenfield notes that the last rejection of a Cabinet nominee occurred in 1989, suggesting that the current political landscape favors confirmation. He emphasizes that Trump's threats of recess appointments could further compel the Senate to approve his picks.
