Fox News: Bernie Sanders plans to spearhead legislation on key Trump proposal
Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to introduce legislation to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, echoing a proposal made by President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign. Trump framed this cap as a temporary measure to assist Americans with rising credit card debt, which has reached $1.17 trillion.

GB News: Ed Miliband lambasted over ambitious pledge to reduce energy bills with £37billion net zero plans: 'It's a complete lie!'
Ben Pile, co-founder of Climate Debate UK, criticized Labour's net zero plans, calling Energy Secretary Ed Miliband's claims about economic benefits a "complete and total lie." He argues that transitioning to green energy will cost taxpayers £37 billion and is "mathematically impossible" to yield financial advantages.
Miliband's goal of making the energy grid carbon neutral by 2030 is seen as unrealistic, with Pile asserting that past green energy promises have failed. He contends that the significant investment required would not lead to lower energy bills or job creation, labeling the claims as misleading.
