Fox News: Mike Lee looks to halt welfare for illegals going on under Biden with key budget process
Republicans are pushing to exclude illegal immigrants from welfare benefits through a new bill called the "America First Act," introduced by Sen. Mike Lee. The legislation aims to amend the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act to prevent those paroled into the U.S. from accessing programs like SNAP and Medicaid.
The bill is being introduced in both the Senate and House, with hopes of passing it via budget reconciliation, which requires only a simple majority. This approach seeks to avoid the legislative filibuster that has stalled similar measures in the past.

The term "seat squatters" is gaining traction online as travelers share experiences of passengers occupying seats not assigned to them. Incidents reported include individuals arguing over seats and couples claiming more desirable spots, leading to discussions on how airlines and passengers should handle such situations.

Liberty Nation News: Media, Elizabeth Warren Drop New Grocery Trump Hoax - Liberty Nation News
President-elect Donald Trump's recent Time magazine interview has sparked controversy over his comments on grocery prices. Critics, particularly from left-leaning media, have accused him of backtracking on promises to lower food costs, citing a snippet of his statement that it’s “very hard” to bring prices down. However, the full context of his remarks suggests he still believes improvements in energy and supply chains could help.
Food prices have surged significantly since January 2021, with many Americans struggling to afford basic groceries. Trump has indicated plans to address this through increased energy production, which he argues is crucial for lowering food costs. Despite skepticism about returning to pre-pandemic pricing, any stabilization in food inflation would benefit struggling families.

Fox News: 5 cancer types where screenings save the most lives
A recent study by the NIH's National Cancer Institute highlights the effectiveness of cancer screenings and prevention in reducing deaths from five common cancers—breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate—over the past 45 years. It found that 80% of the 5.94 million deaths averted were due to these interventions, with quitting smoking being the most impactful strategy.
While the study underscores the importance of early detection and prevention, it acknowledges limitations, including that the five cancers studied account for less than half of all cancer deaths. Experts emphasize the need for improved screening and prevention strategies, particularly for underserved populations.
