US government has just narrowly avoided a shutdown — and the speculation, confusion and concern around tech titan Elon Musk’s power in Washington is rampant. So rampant that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming press secretary was forced to clarify. “As soon as President Trump released his official stance on the CR, Republicans on Capitol Hill echoed his point of view,” Karoline Leavitt explained about the plan to keep the government funded, known as a continuing resolution.“President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. Full stop.” This was not entirely convincing. It was not convincing because Musk, who gave Trump’s reelection effort a quarter of a billion dollars, has emerged as an unexpected, unelected and uncontrollable political powerhouse. He derailed the bipartisan plan to keep the government open and put Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s job in jeopardy by posting to his 200 million followers on X, the platform he owns.

Burnett, who was born in London, helped produce hits like «Survivor» and «The Voice,» but is perhaps best known for teaming up with Trump for «The Apprentice,» which first aired on NBC in 2004.

carbon is estimated to have been accumulated and stored in long-lasting products from around the world made by humans, such as plastics and buildings, between 1995 and 2019, according to a study. Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands said this 'fossil carbon' added to the 'technosphere' — the sum of all human-made objects, both in use and discarded — equals around 93 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions from around the world in 2019. They added that the carbon locked up in the 'technosphere' has a huge potential to add to greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing the lifetime of products and recycling rates are two ways to reduce the amount of fossil carbon entering waste streams, the researchers suggested.

Donald Trump had little to show for it once lawmakers passed a budget deal in the early hours of Saturday, narrowly averting a pre-Christmas government shutdown. The president-elect successfully pushed House Republicans to jettison some spending, but he failed to achieve his central goal of raising the debt limit. It demonstrated that despite his decisive election victory and frequent promises of retribution, many members of his party are still willing to openly defy him. Trump's decision to inject himself into the budget debate a month before his inauguration also showed that he remains more adept at blowing up deals than making them, and it foreshadowed that his second term will likely be marked by the same infighting, chaos and brinksmanship that characterized his first.
