Breitbart: Rand Paul Festivus Report Highlights More than $1 Trillion in Waste: Millions Spent on Lonely Rat Cocaine Studies
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released his annual Festivus report, revealing over $1 trillion in government waste, including absurd projects like funding for the Paraguayan border, studies on lonely rats and cocaine, and various magical initiatives. He criticized bipartisan spending that burdens taxpayers.
The report highlights egregious expenditures, such as $10 billion on empty federal buildings, $15.5 billion for electric vehicle promotion, and $12 million for a Las Vegas pickleball complex. Paul emphasized that while Congress spends on pet projects, taxpayers face high prices and interest rates.
The Federalist: 3 Million 'Temporary' Migrants Will Now Sway Congressional Seats
The U.S. Census Bureau will now include refugees and border releases in its population estimates, impacting congressional apportionment. The bureau reported a net migration of 2.8 million people to the U.S. between 2023 and 2024, which may alter the distribution of congressional seats by 2030.
Predictions suggest that states like California and New York will lose seats, while Texas and Florida will gain, reflecting the influence of international migration on population numbers. The changes could shift political power, as many blue states are seeing population losses offset by immigration.
Liberty Nation News: DEVELOPING: Matt Gaetz Fights Release of Damning Ethics Report - Liberty Nation News
Former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz is facing a House Ethics Committee probe, with a report detailing allegations of paying for sex, including with a minor, and drug use. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing and filed a lawsuit to block the report's release, claiming the committee overstepped its authority after his resignation.
The report's findings, which include witness testimonies, could severely impact Gaetz's political future. He previously faced a DOJ investigation that did not result in charges. Gaetz's attorney argues the committee's actions are unwarranted now that he is no longer in Congress.
Le Monde: French PM Bayrou appoints new government. Former prime minister Elisabeth Borne named education minister

GB News: Iconic London black cabs could go extinct and disappear from roads 'by 2040' - 'Taken for granted!'
London's black cab industry is facing a steep decline, with the number of licensed taxis dropping from 22,200 in 2013 to 15,100 in 2023. The rise of Private Hire Vehicles, now nearly 90,000, coupled with road changes and the shift to electric vehicles, has led to concerns that black cabs could become extinct by 2040.
Taxi drivers cite obstacles like the Ultra Low Emission Zone and various traffic restrictions as contributing factors to the profession's decline. While over half of London's black taxis are now zero-emission capable, industry leaders warn that ongoing challenges could diminish both supply and demand for black cabs.

The Western Journal: Biden Commutes Sentences of Nearly Every Death Row Inmate in Christmas Gift to Vicious Murderers
President Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates, sparking controversy. Critics argue that this decision lacks moral judgment, particularly as it applies to serious crimes like murder and kidnapping, while still allowing for the death penalty in cases of terrorism and hate crimes.
The White House did not disclose details about the crimes committed by those whose sentences were commuted, leading to concerns over transparency and justice for victims. Critics highlight the inconsistency in Biden's reasoning and question his mental fitness to make such significant decisions.
