Here’s what’s in the spending bill that’s drawing the ire of Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News Congressional leadership unveiled legislation Wednesday to punt the government funding deadline down the road, but that bill was pronounced dead only hours after it was revealed.  It led to the intervention of Trump-allied conservatives like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with Musk threatening to support a primary challenge to any Republican member of Congress who voted for the bill.  It even prompted President-elect Trump to say he is "totally against" the legislation and insist any spending deal raise the debt ceiling before he gets into office, saving his administration the headache of doing so.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Johnson speakership hangs in balance as spending deal collapses

By Bradley Jaye| Breitbart Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Thursday faced the most serious threat to his position since 163 Democrats voted to save his gavel back in May. Johnson’s 1,547-page year-end spending deal, released Tuesday night after days of extended deadlines, fell apart in less than 24 hours as Republicans of all ideological stripes turned on the bill over its contents and Johnson’s mishandling of negotiations and the rollout. Conservatives, moderates, loyal rank-and-file Republicans, and even a committee chairman savaged the bill for giving far too much to Democrats. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Fed cuts interest rates by quarter point despite firmer inflation

By Tobias Burns | The Hill The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point Wednesday, in line with market expectations, even as inflation has reaccelerated over the past two months. Fed officials have been trying to find the right tempo for rate cuts since starting them in September with a sizable half-point reduction, and Wednesday’s cut — the third in a row — shows them pressing ahead with their strategy despite some underlying strength in labor and price data. The Fed is now projecting two cuts for next year as opposed to four.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL

Congress sneaks pay raise for itself into spending bill as Americans struggle to make ends meet

by Adam Pack | Daily Caller Members of Congress are slated to receive a pay raise for the first time in 15 years if the massive spending bill released by House leaders Tuesday evening passes both chambers and is signed into law. The 1,574 page bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), contains language allowing for a cost of living adjustment (COLA), which would give members of Congress a pay raise for the first time since 2009. This pay increase for Congress comes as many lawmakers’ constituents are struggling to make ends meet as inflation has skyrocketed under President Joe Biden’s administration. Lawmakers currently earn a base salary of $174,000 annually with members in leadership receiving a higher salary. If Biden signs the CR into law, members of Congress are set to rec...
