Donald Trump abruptly rejected a bipartisan plan Wednesday to prevent a Christmastime government shutdown, instead telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate — days before a deadline when federal funding runs out.Trump’s sudden entrance into the debate and new demands sent Congress spiraling as lawmakers are trying to wrap up work and head home for the holidays. It leaves Johnson scrambling to engineer a new plan before Friday’s deadline to keep government open.“Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH,” Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance said in a statement.The president-elect made an almost unrealistic proposal that combined the same continuation of government funds along with a much more controversial provision to raise the nation’s debt limit — something his own party routinely rejects.

Bettina Anderson, Donald Trump Jr.'s new girlfriend, wants a cosy charitable position in the Trump administration. Anderson is a Palm Beach socialite who has stated that she would like to be on one of the advisory committees or community outreach boards of the Trump White House, according to a source familiar with the transition efforts, as quoted in a report by The NY Post. She has been vying for the top position on the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. She has been schmoozing insiders at Donald Trump's resort home after his eldest son called it quits with his fiancée of nearly four years, Kimberly Guilfoyle. The breakup occurred at the same time that Guilfoyle was appointed US ambassador to Greece. Trump called the former Fox News host a close friend and ally in a Truth Social post announcing the appointment. He also acknowledged her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics, along with her sharp intellect, describing her as extremely qualified to represent the United States and safeguard its interests abroad.

Donald Trump's most popular talking points during his campaign centered on the future of transgender athletes. Trump revisited the topic multiple times in the months and weeks before the election, suggesting at his rallies that one of the goals of his second term would be to “keep men out of women's sports." Millions were spent on advertising that turned something that affects a tiny minority of competitors into a wedge issue, AP reported. More than half of voters overall — and the vast majority of Trump supporters — said support for transgender rights in government and society has gone too far, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. What, exactly, Trump will do when he takes office on January 20 is unclear. His transition team has not divulged any specifics, though the president-elect said during his campaign that the process would be 'easy'.

“The Ministry of Defense of Russia must be ready for any development of events, including a possible military conflict with NATO in Europe in the next decade,” Belousov said. The comments by the Putin minister came as US-President elect Donald Trump has called for a rapid end to the fighting. “We’re trying to get the war stopped, that horrible, horrible war that’s going on in Ukraine, Russia, Ukraine. We’re going to get a little progress, it’s a tough one, it’s a nasty one, it’s nasty," Trump had said.

Donald Trump 47th President. The election was preceded by an entire year of campaigning, and a neck-and-neck competition between the Democrats and the Republicans. As Democrat nominee and US Vice-President Kamala Harris and Trump vied for the White House, India became the talk of the election. With 2.6 million eligible Indian-American voters — according to data from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — the Indian diaspora’s growing political significance was felt in key US swing states. These states, which were won by Trump, accounted for a significant number of Indian-American votes. Data suggested that there was a shift in the attitude of US voters of Indian origin this year. A large number of them shifted from Democratic Party to Republican Party in this election.

SpaceX, the space venture of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, caused a loss of ground control for at least an hour during a mission that included the first private spacewalk in history, according to three people familiar with the problem. The spacewalk, part of SpaceX's five-day Polaris Dawn mission, was carried out by private astronauts including Jared Isaacman, a fellow billionaire and longtime Musk partner who is now nominated by incoming President Donald Trump to be administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA. The outage, which has not previously been reported, meant that SpaceX mission control was briefly unable to command its Dragon spacecraft in orbit, these people said. The vessel, which carried Isaacman and three other SpaceX astronauts, remained safe during the outage and maintained some communication with the ground through the company's Starlink satellite network.
