Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says that the administration will “continue pushing for” paid family and medical leave after the policy was gutted from President Joe Biden’s sweeping economic package amid opposition from a key swing vote in the Senate.
The Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal marks a crucial step toward ending hostilities, with the release of hostages and prisoners as key components. The pause in attacks provides a temporary reprieve for Gaza, though the future depends on successful negotiations to extend the truce and rebuild the region. No official word yet on whether Hamas will receive the mortal remains of Yahya Sinwar.

President Joe Biden, during his 18-minute farewell address from the Oval Office, was seen sitting on a small pillow for support. The 82-year-old president addressed threats to democracy, warning of a growing "oligarchy" and a "tech-industrial complex," indirectly referencing Elon Musk. Biden also called for Supreme Court term limits and a constitutional amendment to hold presidents accountable for crimes. His remarks on dark money in politics drew criticism, especially after honoring George Soros. The speech concluded with Biden wishing success to incoming President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark has sparked intense debate across the United States. The former president, citing national security reasons, revived the idea in his latest political moves, despite the pushback from many corners. A recent USA TODAY poll reveals that only 11% of Americans fully support the idea, while 29% think it's a good but unrealistic notion. In stark contrast, 53% of respondents opposed the plan, with the division deepening across party lines — 86% of Democrats rejected the proposal, while only 23% of Republicans supported it. The idea has met widespread opposition, with many questioning its feasibility and the long-term implications of such a move.

As part of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, three American-Israeli hostages will be released in two phases, following over 15 months of captivity. The first phase will begin on January 19, with the release of 33 Israeli hostages and an undisclosed number of Palestinian prisoners. American hostages Sagui Dekel-Chen, Keith Siegel, and Edan Alexander will be freed, with Dekel-Chen and Siegel qualifying for immediate release due to injury and age. U.S. President Biden vows to bring all American hostages home, living or deceased.

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.
