Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his vote for a Republican spending bill to avert a government shutdown, asserting it was a principled decision to prevent greater harm from a shutdown, which he warned would empower Trump and Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Despite backlash from within his party and calls for his resignation, Schumer emphasized the necessity of his vote to protect essential government services and avoid a situation where the executive branch could unilaterally determine what is deemed "essential." As tensions rise among Democrats, concerns about the party's direction and electability loom ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Bernie Sanders fiercely criticized Elon Musk for labeling Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," emphasizing that the program has reliably paid benefits for 80 years. He highlighted Musk's wealth, arguing that increasing contributions from the richest could ensure Social Security's solvency for 75 years. Musk's comments, made during an interview, contrasted sharply with President Trump's assurances to protect elderly welfare.
Senator Ron Johnson and House Speaker Mike Johnson have raised concerns about Social Security, labeling it a "Ponzi scheme" and highlighting issues of fraud and waste. The SSA plans to cut 7,000 jobs amid ongoing staffing shortages, while the GOP focuses on budget cuts without explicitly targeting entitlements. Critics, including Democrats, warn that these budget resolutions could lead to significant cuts in Medicaid and other programs, despite assurances that Social Security will remain untouched.
President-elect Donald Trump indicated that Ukraine may receive reduced military aid from the U.S. once he takes office, questioning why Europe contributes less despite the ongoing conflict. He emphasized the need for NATO allies to share the financial burden and called for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations to end the war. Trump also noted his strong ties with Vladimir Putin and expressed confidence in brokering peace, while commenting on Russia's diminishing interest in Syria following the conflict in Ukraine.
President-elect Donald Trump stated he will not attempt to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, whose term extends to May 2026. In an interview, Trump expressed confidence that Powell would remain in his position, despite their past conflicts over monetary policy. Trump has previously criticized Powell's decisions and suggested that the president should have a say in interest rate adjustments.
