Here are 3 big things you need to know—
One — The Teamsters union has launched a nationwide strike against Amazon just six days before Christmas. They're striking at Amazon facilities across the country starting and the union says it's the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. Picket lines are up at Amazon facilities in New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, the Chicago area and three locations in Southern California.
Two ---- A bill to avert a partial government shutdown that was backed by President-elect Trump failed to pass the House last night. The bill needed two-thirds of the House chamber to pass, but failed to even net a majority. Two Democrats voted with the majority of Republicans to pass the bill, while 38 GOP lawmakers bucked Trump to oppose it. That brings us closer to the possibility of a partial shutdown, with the deadline coming at the end of today.
And number three — The Wall Street Journal is out with a lengthy story documenting how President Joe Biden’s advisers conspired to fool most of the public, the press, and even Biden’s allies about the President’s rapidly deteriorating mental health. It’s a blockbuster, a look behind the curtain of what many of you suspected over the past four years … and were called conspiracy theorists for noticing. The big question: is the political press is D.C. dangerously incompetent or simple partisan cheerleaders? At this point it’s one or the other.
