Fox News: What to expect as Republicans try to salvage spending package, avoid government shutdown
House Speaker Mike Johnson faces significant challenges as conservatives, including President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk, complicate negotiations to avoid a government shutdown. Trump's insistence on addressing the debt ceiling has heightened tensions, with many conservatives opposed to any increase.
As the deadline approaches, there is growing resignation among Republicans about the likelihood of a shutdown, potentially extending through Christmas. Additionally, disaster aid for hurricane-affected areas remains unaddressed, further complicating the situation.
The Federalist: IG Report Reveals FBI Could Still Be Spying On Congress
The Justice Department Inspector General report reveals that federal authorities secretly surveilled members of Congress and their staff during the Trump administration, particularly related to the investigation into Russian interference. This included issuing subpoenas for communications records without proper justification, raising serious concerns about civil liberties and the separation of powers.
The report highlights a troubling pattern of abuse within the FBI and DOJ, where the oversight of Congress was undermined under the pretext of investigating leaks. Despite the lack of evidence for political motivation, the actions risk creating a chilling effect on legitimate oversight activities.
The Federalist: Where Did 6M Democrat Votes Go Between 2020 and 2024?
In the 2024 election, Kamala Harris received 6.27 million fewer votes than Joe Biden did in 2020, while Donald Trump improved his vote count by over 3 million. The decline in Harris's votes raises questions about where Biden's supporters went, as third-party votes also decreased.
Trump's gains were widespread, with improvements in key swing states. In contrast, Harris's performance fell short in most states, leading to speculation about the legitimacy of Biden's 2020 vote total. The disparity between the two elections prompts analysis of voter turnout and potential shifts in party allegiance.

GB News: Wales's 'blanket' 20mph rules see penalties concentrated on two main roads - ‘Targeted approach’
A report indicates that a quarter of speeding fines in Wales were issued on just two roads, with over 15,000 drivers penalized from January to October 2023. The A4102 Swansea Road and A5104 at Pontybodkin were the primary hotspots, reflecting the controversial 20mph speed limit policy implemented in September.
The policy has faced backlash, with nearly half a million signatures on a petition against it. Following criticism, the Welsh Government plans to revise the blanket speed limit approach, allowing local councils to make decisions on speed limits.

The Federalist: Left's Takeover Of 'Science' Is Obvious With Sex Differences
Bill Maher’s discussion with Neil deGrasse Tyson highlights the debate over gender inequity in sports, with Maher criticizing claims that differences in male and female athletic performance stem from societal bias rather than biological factors. Tyson's defense of the Scientific American article's stance reflects a broader trend of prioritizing a "woke" agenda over scientific accuracy.
The argument centers on the significant biological advantages males have in most sports, despite some claims of female strengths in ultra-endurance events. This conversation underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of women's sports in light of the inclusion of transgender athletes, which poses challenges to fair competition and safety for female athletes.
