US government shutdown looms after House rejects Trump-backed spending deal
Friday, 20 December 2024 US politicians have rejected a spending bill endorsed by president-elect Donald Trump - leaving Congress with no clear plan to avert a fast-approaching government shutdown.

During an Oval Office executive order signing ceremony, President Donald Trump took a sharp jab at former President Joe Biden, mocking his use of an autopen to sign official documents. Trump questioned whether he could do the same, reigniting claims that Biden’s reliance on the device was potentially illegal. While the autopen has been used for decades in Washington, House Republicans have raised concerns and are planning a formal investigation into Biden’s use of the signature machine. Trump’s comments have brought renewed scrutiny to an otherwise obscure presidential tool.

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, “We nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.” Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has unveiled the much-anticipated details of “The One Big, Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative proposal championed by the administration.

The bill, a centerpiece of the administration’s economic vision, is expected to ignite sharp debate in Congress. With bold language and uncompromising tone, the press briefing marked a new phase in Washington’s fiscal battle. Critics, however, warn of mounting debt and unrealistic expectations.

In a stark address to Congress, Rep. Thomas Massie sounded the alarm over America’s growing national debt, calling a proposed spending measure the “Big Beautiful Bill” — a ticking time bomb. Rejecting the usual promises of tax cuts and increased spending, Massie delivered what he called a “dose of reality” about the nation’s fiscal future. As lawmakers push forward with ambitious budget plans, Massie’s warning highlights growing concerns among fiscal conservatives about America’s long-term economic stability and the burden of unsustainable government spending.
