Some Republicans, including President-elect Donald Trump, are opposing a bi-partisan government funding bill, bringing them closer to a potential government shutdown. The bill should have been passed earlier, according to House Democrats, but House Budget Republicans believe there have been many wins in the bill. The recent assassination of a Russian general by Ukraine is seen as a signal to elites by a former Ambassador to Russia. Despite some members of the House Intelligence Committee finding no evidence of wrongdoing in recent drone sightings, the NYPD Commissioner condemns the celebration of murder of the United Healthcare CEO. A New Jersey mayor is fed up with federal officials insulting his city over drone sightings. The mother of Austin Tice, a journalist believed to be in captivity, describes the moment people thought her son had been found. Sen. Bernie Sanders expresses nervousness about Christopher Wray’s resignation and calls President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter a dangerous precedent. Sen. Lindsey Graham believes the U.S. should leave it up to the Syrians to form a new government and calls for Dreamer bills to be tied to border security. Overall, there are mixed opinions and tensions within the government regarding funding, security, and potential pardons.
