Trump brings Congress to a halt with new demands on spending as shutdown looms
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump delivered a missive to Capitol Hill on Wednesday that significantly ratcheted up the chances of a government shutdown just before Christmas, while sending the clearest signal yet that he is seeking a dramatic showdown with Democrats over spending.Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance on Wednesday sharply criticized a deal to fund the federal government until March 14 that was negotiated by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, undermining support for the plan across Capitol Hill just days away from a shutdown deadline.Trump and Vance slammed the bill for including what they see as Democratic priorities but also injected the politically fraught issue of the US debt limit, which the country is on track to hit after it is reinstated in the new...

Donald Trump and Liz Cheney
After investigating January 6, House GOP sides with Trump and goes after Liz Cheney
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump has long suggested he would try to prosecute his political opponents, and House Republicans delivered him a new opening on Tuesday through a report recommending that GOP former Rep. Liz Cheney be prosecuted by the FBI for her role in probing the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.Trump, who has said Cheney should go to jail and even amplified posts on social media calling for a televised military tribunal for her, said on Truth Social Wednesday morning that Cheney “could be in a lot of trouble” based on the report released by House GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk. Trump’s elevation of the report carries even more weight considering he has chosen loyalist Kash Patel, who has a retribution list of his own, to lead the FBI.In the report,...

Joe Biden
Nothing nefarious, Biden seeks to reassure US over drone mystery
WASHINGTON — A puzzling flurry of apparent drone sightings along the US east coast is "nothing nefarious", says President Joe Biden.The sightings in recent weeks have occurred in New Jersey and a number of neighboring states, sometimes around air bases. The phenomenon has prompted a number of conspiracy theories about foreign involvement.Authorities have not given many definitive answers, other than to say the sightings are not always of drones, and that they do not believe there is a threat to national security or that a foreign power is at work.Members of the US House Intelligence Committee, who were given a closed-door briefing on Tuesday, joined Biden on Wednesday in trying to reassure the public.Among the committee members who spoke to reporters afterward were Chrissy...
