Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor. This ongoing debate highlights the clash between immigration policy, corporate interests, and American workers' rights.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.
