On Monday, during his hosting duties on CNN’s “Newsroom,” Jim Acosta called on media outlets to “stand firm” against President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts to use the legal system to hold the press accountable. Acosta told CNN contributor Brian Stelter the media should not have to worry “about this sort of stuff.” “I just wonder, Brian, what this is going to mean for news organizations, for tech companies?” Acosta said. “We’re going to talk about the implications for tech companies in a moment, but it seems to me that there’s a lot of this bending the knee going on. And I’m sure the folks over at ABC

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) favorability is declining, sinking even lower than Democrat President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, a new poll shows.
Polling from The Economist/YouGov shows Johnson with a 30 percent favorability rating, well below Biden’s 40 percent rating and Harris’s 44 percent. Thirty-six percent of poll respondents say they have an unfavorable view of Johnson, and 34 percent who “don’t know.” The results show a slight decline in public opinion from last month, when another YouGov survey showed Johnson with 33 percent approval and 34 percent disapproval.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived back at her California home on Wednesday after suffering a fall in “very high” heels and undergoing hip replacement surgery during her trip to Europe.
The California congresswoman, 84, was spotted apparently talking into a pink cellphone in a black vehicle outside her San Francisco home in the first pictures of her in the US exclusively obtained by The Post. (Photos) Pelosi was visiting a World War II battlefield site in Luxembourg on Friday when she fell down marble steps while wearing heels — and posed for a picture immediately after.
A couple of members of the Cackling Coven known as The View flaunted their elitism during Mondays show as the ABC News hosts boasted about attending Washington, D.C. Christmas parties hosted by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Sunny Hosting showed off pictures of her in the White House while fake Republican Ana Navarro gushed about dancing the night away with the failed presidential candidate.
They were so excited about attending the White House Christmas party; one could easily think they were handing out pardons as party favors.
Canada is tightening its immigration rules to reduce cheating and illegal entries only days after President-elect Donald Trump criticized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his liberal policies.
On Wednesday, Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced several changes to the country’s immigration laws as Americans have voted to put Donald Trump into the White House with his pledge to implement the biggest deportation policy in American history. Trudeau’s retreat from his unpopular mass migration policy comes as he faces the imminent collapse of his majority in Canada’s parliament.
The 1500-page spending plan that had conservatives outraged for the last 24 hours has been pulled, multiple reports are now indicating.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be heading up Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency in the coming administration, came out hard against the bill early. Late on Wednesday, Trump himself let his feelings on the subject be known.The rebuke, which built steadily through the day and culminated with a long written statement from Trump in the late afternoon, has forced Johnson back to the drawing board on a plan to prevent a Christmastime shutdown — and maintain the support of his chaotic conference
House Speaker Mike Johson (R-LA) might have a hard time retaining his position if Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), one of his most vocal critics, has anything to say about it.Massie recently told The Hill that he would not back Johnson for Speaker next time around due to a series of issues.
He said his refusal to support Johnson was because of “all the grievances I had this summer, when we tried to vacate. And then this bill,” referring to the current debate over the 1,547-page continuing resolution that the speaker and other lawmakers are trying to pass to avoid a government shutdown.
Massie’s vote could be critical in determining whether Johnson
George Stephanopoulos was repeatedly told by his executive producer not to “use the word rape” before going on the air to discuss Donald Trump but the ABC News anchor ignored the warning — a decision that cost the network $16 million, The Post has learned.
Parent company Disney’s capitulation last week in the defamation lawsuit by Trump against ABC News and Stephanopoulos shocked media and legal experts, but the damning revelation could help explain why Mouse House CEO Bob Iger signed off on the settlement so quickly.
The “This Week” host uttered that Trump was “liable for rape” while discussing the civil lawsuit won by journalist E. Jean Carroll during an interview
President-elect Donald Trump revealed that he is “totally against” the proposed continuing resolution (CR), which is weighed down with many unrelated and expensive provisions.
Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones reported in a post on X that he had spoken with Trump and that the president-elect was “totally against” the CR. (X) Vice President-elect JD Vance released a joint statement from him and Trump criticizing the CR, stating that the bill “would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee.”
President-elect Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, revealed her celebrity crush during a new YouTube Q&A.
The 17-year-old shared a video Tuesday so fans could get to know her better after being thrust into the limelight when her famous grandfather, 78, was elected for his second term as president of the United States.
During the Q&A, one follower asked her, “Celebrity crush?”
The young golf player had to fetch her phone to verify her crush’s name before asking herself, “Why do I need my phone? His name is Drew Starkey, and he is on ‘Outer Banks.'”
Outside of rare exceptions like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings in 2018, it's not often we see a member of Congress from either party go full "thug life" out of sheer frustration over media-driven narratives or lines of questioning they think are ridiculous.But on Wednesday, we got just that and who would have guessed that Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) would be at the center of it all?
Durbin, who as the Majority Whip is second only to Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in the United States Senate, was taking questions from reporters Wednesday morning
The House Ethics panel secretly voted to release a ‘damaging’ lawfare report of Matt Gaetz before the end of this Congress, according to CNN.
The panel previously voted not to release the report after Gaetz resigned from Congress last month.
Earlier this month the House of Representatives voted to block resolutions by Democrats to force the House Ethics Committee from releasing their report on Gaetz.
CNN reported:
The House Ethics Committee secretly voted earlier this month to release its report into the conduct of former Rep. Matt Gaetz before the end of this Congress, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing is scheduled for the second week of January, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee told CNN.

Roger Wicker (R-MS), the incoming-chairman of the committee, told CNN’s Manu Raju that the hearing, where members of the committee will grill Hegseth in a public hearing on various issues, will take place on January 14. The scheduling of the date is significant, after Democrats and several establishment Republicans tried to tank his nomination earlier this month and casting doubt over whether he would make it that far.

Senate Democrats proposed a constitutional amendment on Dec. 16 that would abolish the Electoral College and ensure the country’s presidential elections were determined by the popular vote.
“It is time to retire this 18th-century invention that disenfranchises millions of Americans,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a press release.
He and Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) proposed the legislation after another proposal emerged in the House last week.

Michelle Obama appeared on the Jennifer Hudson Show wearing a skirt that resembled a trash bag and slouchy over-the-knee boots.
“The former first lady sat down with Hudson for a conversation that touched on the holiday season, her new book “Overcoming: A Workbook” and the Netflix series “The Later Daters,” which she and Barack Obama helped produce through their company Higher Ground. For the daytime talk show interview, Obama wore an asymmetrical black dress from Bottega Veneta in a leather-like material underneath a blazer which brought a business energy to the look and introduced a taupe hue,”

During an interview with Boston 25 on Tuesday, First Lady Jill Biden defended President Joe Biden pardoning their son, Hunter, by stating that the President “talked to a lot of legal experts,” about the prospects of pardoning Hunter and “circumstances changed.”
Boston 25 Host and Investigative Reporter Kerry Kavanaugh said that she asked Biden if there are things she wished resonated more with the American public and then played a clip of Biden saying, “I think some of the accomplishments of the White House, some of the things that Joe did, opening our schools, ending the pandemic, the infrastructure, just so many things that he accomplished.

Hollywood LGBTQ stars and other elites are reportedly in a state of panic over the incoming second Trump administration, with some having already fled the country or are considering doing so in the near future.
“It’s keeping me up at night [worrying] for myself and the wider community, especially the transgender community,”Kirsten Schaffer, executive director of Women in Film, told TheWrap. “There were more guardrails last time: [Trump] didn’t have the House, Senate and judiciary.” “I think there will be a much bigger exodus from America this time around,” screenwriter Brent Hartinger, who left the country in 2017 after Trump was elected the first time, told the outlet.
President Joe Biden appears to be struggling with the prospect of retiring from public life, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday.
After Democrats ousted him as their presidential candidate in July, Biden, 82, who has been a public official since 1973 (51 years), is not enjoying the prospects of sunsetting his over half a century long career at the center of American politics, the NYT’s Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported.
Biden reportedly told allies after he dropped out of the race that he was bored, moody, and angry. He’s apparently angry because many Democrats opposed his pardon of his son.
During COVID, government employees across the country were able to begin working from home and now, years later, they don’t want to give that up.
Trump wants to put an end to this. He expects people to actually show up to their offices to do their jobs. Can you imagine that?
Trump is serious about this too, and wants to fire employees who won’t return to working in-person. He absolutely should. if these people don’t need to show up for work, what are taxpayers paying them for?

For years, conservatives have been vilified as “conspiracy theorists” for claiming the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from President Trump.
The mainstream media and liberal pundits mocked anyone who questioned the outcome, dismissing them as dangerous extremists or delusional crackpots.
Now, the tide has turned, and the hypocrisy is glaringly obvious as liberals peddle their own wild predictions.
Enter USAF veteran and vocal leftist Jerry Doran, who has taken to social media to allege that President Trump will be arrested on December 20th under Executive Order 13848.

James O’Keefe dropped an undercover video on Monday in which one of President Joe Biden's National Security Council advisors explains that the cognitively declining president is far worse off than the public knows.The video should not be shocking — given the countless number of times we've seen Biden's brain malfunction, the confused president shake hands with the air or wander around aimless on a stage after he finishes speaking, and other clear signs that his dementia is rapidly progressing — but it is.
National Security Council (NSC) advisor Henry Appel spoke frankly about the current state of Biden's deteriorating state, unaware that he was being filmed.
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is said to be 'apoplectic' and 'humiliated' following the network's decision to pay $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit between ABC and Donald Trump.
The settlement, which includes $15 million towards a presidential foundation and $1 million for Trump's legal fees, has sparked a firestorm within the Disney-owned news organization.
Stephanopoulos, a former aide to Bill Clinton in the 1990s, was particularly incensed at being compelled to issue a public apology, according to the New York Post.
Insiders explained how the veteran anchor remains 'defiant' amid the fallout.
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is “apoplectic” and “humiliated” by the network’s decision to pay $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by President-elect Donald Trump, The Post has learned.
Stephanopoulos, who claimed Trump had raped E. Jean Carroll during an interview with Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace, was particularly upset about being forced to apologize, a source with knowledge of the situation said. (Photo) Another source told The Post that “George is defiant.”
A third source said Stephanopoulos “is a very guarded person. His circle of trust is so small, and a lot of them don’t work [at ABC anymore].“

It’s been nearly two weeks since UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan. Thankfully, his alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured after someone recognized him at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa.
While the evidence all appears to confirm Mangione is the killer, in a lot of ways, it just doesn’t make sense why this kid, who grew up privileged and went to an Ivy League school and everything, would be driven to murder.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has something to say on that issue that the Democrats won’t be happy about. Adams bluntly described a disturbing trend he’s witnessed among young people
