The Federalist: DOGE Can Tackle Debt By Returning To Constitutional Spending
President Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) aimed at reducing government spending amidst the nation’s $36 trillion debt. Their mission is to cut costs rather than just produce reports, but they face significant challenges from existing laws and bureaucratic resistance.
The article argues that the Constitution limits federal spending to national interests, suggesting that DOGE should focus on eliminating local funding. It contends that Trump should assert his constitutional authority to refuse spending on unconstitutional projects, potentially challenging the existing interpretation of the spending power.
Fox News: Trump assassination attempt suspect Ryan Routh to face court hearing after moving to delay trial
Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump in September 2023, is set for a federal court hearing regarding a delay in his trial, currently scheduled for February 2025. His defense attorneys seek to postpone it until December 2025, citing extensive discovery materials.

GB News: Could you be the next 007? Take GCHQ's annual Christmas brainteaser and test your spy skills
Britain's GCHQ has launched its annual Christmas puzzle challenge, featuring seven complex puzzles aimed at encouraging interest in cybersecurity and intelligence careers. Participants will solve clues that lead to UK landmarks, with additional hidden challenges included for extra difficulty.
GCHQ's director, Anne Keast-Butler, highlighted the relevance of puzzle-solving skills, while the Chief Puzzler, "Colin," emphasized teamwork and creativity over genius. The initiative targets teenagers but is open to all, continuing a popular tradition that began in 2015.
The Federalist: Data Show There's No 'Epidemic Of Violence' Against Trans People
In 2024, there were no reported murders of trans-identifying individuals in the U.S. due to anti-trans bias, contrary to claims of increasing violence against the transgender community. The Human Rights Campaign's data shows that most deaths stemmed from domestic violence, accidents, and altercations, not hate crimes.
Despite the narrative of a rising epidemic of violence, the majority of reported cases involve interpersonal conflicts rather than targeted attacks. This misrepresentation may create unnecessary fear and distract from the actual causes of violence, which are often rooted in personal relationships rather than societal bias.

The Federalist: Rising Mortgage Rates Should Incentive D.C. To Stop Spending
Donald Trump has highlighted the rising stock market as a sign of his policies' success, but he should focus on the increasing mortgage rates as a key economic indicator. Despite recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, mortgage rates have risen due to inflation concerns and a significant federal deficit.
To improve housing affordability, lawmakers need to prioritize fiscal responsibility and reduce the structural deficit. This approach could lower long-term interest rates, benefiting American families seeking homes. Without action, a bond market crisis could force drastic budget cuts.

Times Of Israel: Rare four rockets launched at Israel from Gaza, causing no damage
Four rockets were launched from Gaza towards Israel, resulting in no damage. The Israeli military issued evacuation orders for Gazans in the launch area and reported that air defense systems intercepted some rockets. This marks a rare instance of rocket fire following extensive military operations against Hamas.
In response to ongoing hostilities, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least 33 Palestinians, including women and children, amid claims of Hamas using civilians as shields. The conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has led to significant casualties on both sides, with the Hamas-run health ministry reporting over 44,000 deaths in Gaza.
