The Federalist: Republicans Need A Forceful Answer To Dems' 2020 Questions
Democrats are using Senate confirmation hearings to press Trump nominees on whether he "lost" the 2020 election. Pam Bondi, Trump's nominee for attorney general, acknowledged Biden as president but highlighted her concerns about election integrity, indicating that the question of "loss" is complex.
Republicans are urged to clarify their stance on the election, emphasizing that while Biden is president, the election process had significant issues that warrant scrutiny. They should articulate that the term "lost" can mean different things, particularly regarding the fairness of the election.

The Federalist: Duffy Makes His Case To Be Trump's Transportation Secretary
The Senate confirmation hearing for Sean Duffy, President-elect Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Transportation, was notably cordial compared to the contentious session for Defense nominee Pete Hegseth. Duffy, a former congressman, is expected to have a smooth path to confirmation, with bipartisan support due to his history of working across the aisle on transportation issues.
Duffy emphasized the importance of transportation safety and the agency's significant budget, while addressing concerns from committee members about infrastructure challenges. His commitment to the Trump agenda and willingness to collaborate on key issues resonated positively with senators, suggesting strong prospects for his confirmation.

Donald Trump's upcoming second term is expected to be more disruptive than his first, challenging long-standing U.S. foreign policy since World War II. He has already facilitated a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza and expressed interest in Greenland's strategic resources.

The Federalist: Virginia Democrat Bill Would Ban Homeschooling For Many
Virginia State Sen. Stella Pekarsky has introduced SB1031, a bill that would restrict homeschooling by requiring families to demonstrate “bona fide religious training or belief” to be exempt from public or private school attendance. Currently, Virginia law only requires a notice of intent to homeschool, without religious justification.
The proposed legislation could significantly impact the 56,008 students currently homeschooled in Virginia, as only a small fraction hold religious exemptions. Critics argue this bill undermines parental choice and freedom, especially in light of increased homeschooling rates following the pandemic and dissatisfaction with public school offerings.

The Telegraph: German neo-Nazi changes gender ‘so he can go to women’s prison’
A German neo-Nazi, Sven Liebich, has legally changed his gender to Marla-Svenja, possibly to secure a transfer to a women's prison while appealing his 18-month sentence for inciting hatred. Despite the change, officials state it does not guarantee a move to a women's facility.
Liebich's gender change follows Germany's new self-determination law, which allows individuals to alter their name and gender without psychiatric evaluation. However, it remains uncertain if this will impact his incarceration.
