| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | ✅ With Bipartisan support, the House passed the Laken Riley Act. The House of Representatives approved the Laken Riley Act in a 264-159 bipartisan vote, granting law enforcement more authority to detain illegal migrants accused of theft-related crimes. Named after University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was murdered by an illegal migrant, the bill now moves to the Senate, which is expected to vote on it later this week. | 🔥 Southern California was hit with catastrophic wildfires: Powerful Santa Ana winds have ignited massive wildfires, including the 200-acre Palisades Fire that has emblazoned homes near Los Angeles, prompting mandatory evacuations. A rare "particularly dangerous situation" red flag warning is in effect, with hurricane-force gusts and extreme dryness creating ideal conditions for rapid fire spread. | 🚬 Biden makes a push to effectively ban cigarettes. In a last-minute move, the Biden administration is pushing an FDA rule to slash nicotine in cigarettes, a policy critics say will fuel black market sales and empower cartels. A former ATF official slammed the proposal as a "gift with a bow" to organized crime, warning it will increase smoking and hurt law-abiding and lower-income Americans. | 🚢 Trump threatened to outsource US shipbuilding. President-elect Donald Trump, citing America's lagging shipbuilding capacity compared to China, suggested outsourcing production to allies until the United States can rebuild its industry. China, which builds a ship every four days, holds nearly half the global shipbuilding market, while the US controls only 0.13 percent. |

| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | MEDIA & TECH | Meta reads the room and opts for free speech | | What's happening: Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a significant overhaul of its content moderation policies, including the removal of third-party fact-checking services. This move signals a shift toward a freer speech environment, mirroring Elon Musk's approach on X (formerly Twitter), and comes just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. | Zuckerberg's reversal: In a five-minute video, Zuckerberg admitted his platform's fact-checking program had become "too politically biased" and pledged to restore trust by simplifying policies, reducing mistakes, and focusing on illegal and severe violations rather than minor infractions. Don't forget: Mark Zuckerberg spent nearly half a billion dollars in the 2020 election to sway the election in Joe Biden's favor. Now, he's making efforts to curry favor with Trump.
